My Sulawesi's Arrived!!!


Recommended Posts

Prices will depend on how the next couple of weeks go for losses but I am thinking ~$8-10/ea for the Cardinals and probably ~$12-15/ea for the other two species. Cardinals seem to be going for around $11-14/each on aquabid (for tank bred) and I haven't seen anyone selling the other two species anywhere (wc or tank bred) so I have no idea what a market price would be on them. I may put a few auctions on aquabid and see how they do to get an idea of what people are willing to pay.

Thoughts?

That's fair prices, cardinals I got were 8-10. Yellow cheeks are usually 12-13 depending on how hardy they are. They Are a little harder to breed. Not much more but they have smaller egg carries and babies are sensitive.

Sounds like fair prices. I'll have to check with you later in the year. I usually don't mind gambling on shrimp, but this year has been slim on the breeding, so haven't even met maintaining costs yet.

I hear ya, I feel better though now I know my cardinals are breeding! Inspired me to dedicate a 20L to them iin my fish room. :-)

No species from these guy will breed. Been talks of trying to get them to but they haven't and a lot of people keep then together.

Yes the Yellow Cheeks do seem to have a lighter version and a darker version but I am not sure if it changes over time or is generic or what the cause is.

 

So far their care has been pretty easy.  I think the Salty Shrimp Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 is making it a lot easier this time compared to the last time I had them.  I have been pretty rough of them so far I think and haven't had any problems so far.  The brown camos I had to move to a different tank because their was leaking and didn't reacclimate them or anything (though over half the water was from their old tank and so was the substrate and filter).
