sulawesi and crs in same tank ?

sulawesi dont think will be able to survive long with soil ....they need higher ph

and yr crs may konk off , u dont even have a fan or filter .... just curious did u do any research before buying yr shrimp?

dont mean to dampen yr spirit but i believe yr shrimps wont be able to survive long in this kiind of setup ...

in fact i believe they are suffering

Shrimps are not like bettas. The do not do well in conditions like that. They need filtration and stable water parameters.

Didnt know they were crs! Water temp is okay. Been keeping discus and betta. New to this. Thanks for advises. Will continue to monitor. Initially wanted to go with sakura but because they sell in lots of 5, decided to get this 3. If die then lesson learnt. What is the ph needed? i read the sticky. thats about it.

pls dude , try to research before keeping shrimps cos they are really fragile . unlike fish ...

crs is the one with red and white stripes ,but clearly it shows its very translucent , showing its under going alot of stress ...

i can consider these shrimps to be the "altum inverts " if u know what i mean ....

if these shrimps can survive for at least a week ... u are very lucky

Is the tank cycled firstly? If so they might have a chance. Without filtration the only way is to keep on changing water. And with such a small container your parameters will swing greatly and those shrimps that you have there cannot take it very well. Maybe you want to go look at the sticky first.

bro i don`t think you need feeding bahs..maybe once/week?And crs with sula shrimp i don`t think they will do well together like what other bros had mention sulawasi required higher ph..anyway nice setup there

oh ya...bro you could try to get hawaii shrimps (from silane) for this setupthey are more hardy
