Scientific Name: Caridina dennerli
Sulawesi Shrimp Coloration
Bring a touch of exotic beauty to your freshwater aquarium with Sulawesi Shrimp, one of the most vibrant and unique Caridina shrimp species. These freshwater shrimp are known for their striking colors, including deep reds, blues, and oranges, often highlighted with white spots or stripes. Their intense hues make them a standout addition to any aquascaped setup, providing a mesmerizing visual contrast against natural tank décor.
Sulawesi Shrimp Size
Sulawesi Shrimp reach an average size of 0.75 to 1.25 inches, making them perfect for nano and planted aquariums. Their delicate, slender bodies allow them to move gracefully through aquatic plants and hardscapes, adding both beauty and activity to your tank.
Sulawesi Shrimp Behavior
These live aquarium shrimp are peaceful, active, and highly social. They are often seen grazing on biofilm, algae, and organic matter, helping to maintain water quality and a balanced ecosystem. Keeping them in groups of 6 to 12 enhances their natural behaviors, promotes breeding, and ensures they feel secure in their environment.
Sulawesi Shrimp Care Requirements
Unlike most Caridina shrimp, Sulawesi Shrimp require warm, alkaline water with stable parameters. They thrive in well-established tanks with temperatures between 77° - 84°F, a pH range of 7.8-8.2, and mineral-rich water. A habitat with live plants such as Java Fern, Anubias, Marimo Moss Balls, and driftwood provides essential hiding spots and grazing surfaces.
Sulawesi Shrimp Compatibility
Due to their specialized care requirements, Sulawesi Shrimp are best kept in species-only tanks or with other Sulawesi shrimp varieties. They can coexist with peaceful tank mates such as small aquarium snails but should not be housed with large or aggressive freshwater fish that may prey on them.
Sulawesi Shrimp Diet
To maintain their vivid coloration and overall health, Sulawesi Shrimp require a well-balanced diet of high-quality shrimp food. While they naturally graze on biofilm and algae, supplementing their diet with sinking shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables (such as spinach and zucchini), and specialized Sulawesi shrimp food ensures optimal nutrition and enhances their bright colors.
Sulawesi Shrimp Recommended Tank Parameters
- Temperature: 77° - 84° F (25° - 28° C)

How often should I feed Sulawesi shrimp?
Sulawesi Shrimp should be fed once or twice daily with high-quality shrimp food, such as specialized Sulawesi shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables, and natural biofilm. Overfeeding should be avoided to maintain water quality and prevent ammonia spikes.
Can I keep Sulawesi shrimp with Neocaridina Shrimp?
