Sulawesi shrimps are sensitive to water parameters. Sudden shifts in pH, temperature, or ammonia levels can quickly lead to health issues or even death.
To keep your Sulawesi shrimp thriving, use correct minerals and perform 20% water changes once every 2 weeks. Stability is more important than perfection when it comes to Sulawesi shrimp tanks.
Sulawesi Shrimps generally thrives in higher pH, ranging from 7.2 to 8.5 depending on specific species and their place of origin. GH and KH of 4-6 is recommended for adequate source of minerals for molting and also for stable pH.
For beginners, it is recommended to use ShrimpTalk mineralizer which provides suitable environment which Sulawesi shrimps need. Using TDS pen, one can mineralize RODI water based on TDS reading alone.
