OblongShrimp Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Some photos I snapped on my phone of a couple of berried Sulawesi species. These are not the typical species you see and I got a few of them that hitchhiked along on my last import a couple months ago.

Steve R. Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 That's really exciting. It would be awesome if you could establish some breeding colonies. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Exciting! Of course I agree with colony starting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Once I get enough I will start breaking them into their own species tanks. Right now I have like 8 tanks with sulawesi's in them, all of to hem have more then 1 species currently Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp lady Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 so waht are they? Any idea as you said these are transients/by-catches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not really sure what they are. Once I get more of them I hope to be able to identify them. I have to spent to much time trying to figure it out though Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp lady Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Can you contact the sender? for further info send pics? I'd love to get a few shrimplets when you accumulate enough as I have the perfect well water out of the sink for these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp lady Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 O.K. so I did some digging around and found the first one, It's "Caridina loehae" from the "Malili lake" system, Temp 29.7c The second one? I'd say your transiant shrimps were by-catches and went along for whole the ride all the way to the states! What did you order originally anyways???

monty703 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I used to have a large picture list of all the different types of Sulawesi available with their non-latin names.....lost it when I moved. I found this article which shows where they come from and the latin name for them and some pictures too. Its a long article (110 pages) but if you just scroll down to the identification part you can see the pics there and yours are on the list. http://lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/57/57rbz343-452.pdf Hope this helps. second pic is a Caridina holthuisi last one is a C.Loehae I believe its also called Golden Sunset. Here is a much better explaination and pictures of each one. Just click on each name to see the pic and details. https://atyidae.wordpress.com/caridina_loehae/ Wygglz and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
