Hi!
I want to ask how many people in here have Sulawesi tank? My dream is getting one, but i have heard that example Caridina dennerlii (what i have thinked) is difficult becouse it dont like changes. In Finland i havent seen this shrimps, maybe i have to order them. Also i have heard that C. dennerlii is easiest Sulawesi shrimp. i have also thinked to take Tylomelania sp. to this aquarium. I have read that Tylomelanias dont need hard water, is this correct? How big tank have to bee if there live both C. dennerlii and Tylomelania sp. If someone can put photos at Sulawesi tanks, it would be nice :cheesy:?

How big tank i need to Tylomelanias? I put this to snail side becouse my head thought was to take Sulawesi snails. Maybe i dont take shrimps if they are too difficult. Any info of Tylomelanias and other Sulawesi snails is welcome?

Hi,
The caridina Dennerle and 'among the most species of Sulawesi' adaptable and more 'resistant. Compared to most other species 'known (crs etc.). Presents difficulties of' breeding (water with high hardness, etc..). On the forum you can find many examples of construction of the tank. The biotype of Sulawesi is made ​​with lots of rocks and a few plants (mosses and plants must be chosen taking into account the high temperatures). For TYLO there are some species of large size. I have the orange TYLO that are about 6 cm.

Hi,
The tank, before inserting Denno, must mature at least two months to allow algae to grow on rocks. The Tylo you can put them first. I've included one month of ripening. Snails and preferable that there are in the tank, in order to create the right environment for Denno.
