USA-Bred Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp
To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Sulawesi Shrimp via UPS Next Day Air.
These beautiful Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp are bred by us here in the USA. Native to the lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia, these shrimp are natural rock dwellers and feed on the bio-film and algae growing on rocks. Smaller than their Neocaridina and Caridina counterparts, these shy shrimp have been increasingly popular in the hobby due to their interesting feeding habits, distinctive white legs and beautiful Scarlet red and white spotted patterns. These shy shrimp do better in larger groups, we recommend getting at least a group of 5 or more.

Received my Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp in great condition. The red and white spots are vivid and they seem active in the tank. I bought a group of five as recommended and they are all feeding on the rocks. Very happy with the purchase.

The shrimp arrived quickly and looked healthy. I was a bit nervous about breeding difficulty, but the US-bred quality is impressive. I plan to keep them in a well-structured tank with plenty of rocks.

These shrimp are a real eye-catcher. The white legs and red spots stand out. I’ve had them for two weeks and they’re active and calm. I followed the group size advice and it made a big difference in their behavior.
