      Sulawesi Shrimp Care Guide

      • Tank Size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended, with 15 - 20 gallons ideal for stability and small colonies.
      • Water Parameters: pH 7.8 - 8.5, GH 6 - 8, KH 4 - 6, Temperature 78 - 84°F. Use remineralized RO water for best results.
      • Filtration: Use a sponge filter or air-driven filters to maintain oxygen and gentle flow without harming shrimp.
      • Substrate: Inert or Sulawesi-specific substrates help maintain water chemistry. Add lava rocks or mineral stones to encourage biofilm growth.
      • Plants & Decor: Minimalist setups with Moss plants, hardscape, and Indian almond leaves are ideal for biofilm support and shrimp activity.
      • Lighting: Moderate lighting is sufficient; avoid intense lighting to reduce stress and algae overgrowth.
      • Diet: Feed high-quality shrimp micro pellets, algae wafers, and powdered foods. Biofilm is essential to their diet.
      • Breeding: Provide stable parameters and low disturbance. With the right setup, breeding will occur naturally in colony-style tanks.

      My first time of ordering fish online. With it being winter I was a little concerned with the mail. Placed my order late Monday night. I get a text Wednesday afternoon it was shipped. The box was dropped at my door this morning. It was well packaged and the fish were well bagged. I followed the acclimation guide and all is looking great.

      I’ve been looking for a variety of fish for my tank and unfortunately, because of the pandemic, many places are experiencing shortages and limited varieties on their normal stock. I thankfully stumbled upon this place by searching online And couldn’t be happier. Nguyen is such a nice and knowledge guy, and was able to get all the fish I was looking for! Fish came quickly and all seem to be thriving. Defiantly will come back for all my fish needs. Thank you !

      Went here for a fish and advice on setting up the tank for a young child because the fish in the big pet stores looked unhealthy. The proprietor was as helpful as one could be, answered all our questions and offered great advice based on our needs. The space was small, but he made excellent use of it and you could see all the fish were healthy and active. He even showed us how to train them. He clearly cares for his fish and was just so knowledgeable on every topic relating to keeping fish. Appointment was required. We will definitely be going back for our fish needs.
