About two months ago, I started with about 11 cardinals and lost about 50% in the first week. I think I had about 4 survivors. When they came I had no shrimp that were berried another bummer for me, but today when the lights came on today I found two really tiny cardinal babies!!!

So far I have found 5 babies don't know how many more there are but it's hard to find them. The female is berried again too! Good news for the Sulawesi on this side of the ocean. Pics below kinda crappy quality but its hard to get a good shot at of them.

That is very cool and mine as well are breeding, I have 2 berried right now. Here is a photo of one of them, bad shot as the female is at the back of the tank in rocks.



This is good news for breeders as well as those shrimp still left in the wild....

Cheers, Bill

This is definitely great news.


Ryan so far the snails are doing great I have over 8 babies in the tank and in about three differnent sizes, so I am thinking there have been multiple births.

looks like theres hope for these shrimps yet. for awhile i thought these shrimps were going to go out of style like the purple zebras did

Side note all these shrimp and snails did come from Ryan over at planetinverts. Obviously I am happy with everything and they are doing great.

Thanks Ryan!

This is good news. I think this is the first Ive heard of captive bred sulawesi shrimp.
Well done

I think it was the square peg and something else. Ryan isn't carrying them anymore and thats where I got them, can't remember the exact names.

I think ryan had success breeding cardinal sulawesi shrimp before but this is good news. Congrats!!!
