About
Caridina dennerli, the Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp, originates from the ancient warm lakes of Sulawesi (Celebes) island, Indonesia. Its brilliant red body is dotted with white spots, giving it a polka-dot appearance of extraordinary beauty. Found only in Lakes Towuti and Matano at temperatures exceeding 28 °C, it requires warm, very hard, alkaline water — the precise opposite of Caridina Crystal Reds. Completely protected in the wild; all specimens available are captive-bred. A specialist shrimp for dedicated keepers.
