SULAWESI TIGRIS SHRIMP

Tigris Sulawesi Shrimp (Caridina cf. babaulti), known for its vibrant colors and striking patterns, is a freshwater shrimp species native to the Sulawesi region of Indonesia. They are relatively rare and require specific care to thrive in an aquarium setting. Here’s a detailed guide to keeping Tigris Sulawesi Shrimp: Tank Size and Setup Tank Size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended for a small group of Tigris Sulawesi Shrimp. Larger tanks, such as 20 gallons or more, provide better stability in water parameters and more space for the shrimp to explore. Aquascape: Mimic their natural habitat with a setup that includes rocks, driftwood, and caves. These structures provide hiding spots and areas for exploration. Smooth lava rocks and ceramic decorations are ideal. Ensure there are both open spaces and covered areas. Substrate: Use a dark, fine-grained substrate such as sand or fine gravel. Avoid substrates with sharp edges that could injure the shrimp. Plants: While not essential
