Nice tank setups for your shrimps.

Sulawesi snails are the best things to go with the shrimps.
They complement each other.

@Sinu thanks. Still learning from the bros here.

Yeah, the females are slightly broader to hold eggs.
The cardinals remind me of jumping spiders with their moving front legs.
Finally see them moving about, 2 days w/o food. Started to see them foraging around.

@ Seah Snails add favor to the tank and the shrimps pick on their shells as well =)

So far anyone with success on breeding cardinals?

Me too! Im planning all red sulawesi . Goldflakes, camos, white stripes(maybe) and most of all, cardinals! and maybe a few orchids as they are easy to breed hehe.

Great!! Love red shrimps lol.
Currently trying out 2 different substrate to see which one is better for the Cardinals to survive and breed.
Will update on findings soon.
