SULAWESI WHITE ORCHID SHRIMP
White Orchid Sulawesi Shrimp (Caridina cf. babaulti), known for its stunning white coloration and unique patterns, is a freshwater shrimp species native to Sulawesi, Indonesia. These shrimp require specific care to thrive in an aquarium. Here’s a detailed guide to keeping White Orchid Sulawesi Shrimp: Tank Size and Setup Tank Size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended for a small group of White Orchid Sulawesi Shrimp. Larger tanks, like 20 gallons or more, provide better stability in water parameters and more space for exploration. Aquascape: Mimic their natural environment with rocks, driftwood, and caves to provide hiding spots and exploration areas. Smooth lava rocks and ceramic decorations are ideal. Include both open spaces and covered areas. Substrate: Use a dark, fine-grained substrate such as sand or fine gravel. Avoid sharp-edged substrates that could injure the shrimp. Plants: Although not essential, hardy, low-light plants like Java fern, Anubias, or moss can be added
