Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp (Caridina dennerli) are specialized warm-water shrimp from Lake Matano with red bodies and bright white spotting.
They require a mature, alkaline Sulawesi-style aquarium and should not be mixed into standard Neocaridina or soft-water Caridina setups.
Care Notes
Use a dedicated warm, alkaline Sulawesi setup with stable mineral content and abundant mature biofilm.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature, pH, or conductivity.

Species Spotlight
Why We Love This Shrimp
01
Unlike Anything Else in Freshwater
Deep red with white spots and blue legs — Cardinal Sulawesi are genuinely unlike any other freshwater shrimp. In a dedicated Sulawesi setup they are an immediate focal point.
02
Constant Activity
Cardinal Sulawesi graze biofilm throughout the day. A settled colony is almost always in motion — exploring rocks, hardscape, and tank walls in a way that makes a Sulawesi tank feel alive at all times.
03
A Rewarding Advanced Species
Getting a Cardinal Sulawesi colony established and breeding requires real commitment to their specific water parameters. Hobbyists who succeed find it one of the most rewarding setups in the shrimp hobby.
Community Tank
Compatible Tank Mates
These species coexist peacefully with shrimp. Research before mixing — not every fish is safe.
Any fish — Cardinal Sulawesi are best kept in species-only Sulawesi setups
Neocaridina or Taiwan Bee Caridina — incompatible water parameters
Any invertebrate requiring cooler, more acidic, or softer water
Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation
Prepare the aquarium 4–6 weeks or more in advance with Sulawesi mineral salts, porous hardscape, strong biofilm, and stable 78–84°F water. Verify the remineralizer manufacturer's target conductivity or TDS before adding shrimp.

Common Questions
Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp FAQ
Can Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp live with Neocaridina?+
Their temperature and chemistry requirements are different enough that a dedicated Sulawesi setup is strongly recommended.
Are Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp beginner friendly?+
No. They are advanced shrimp and require a mature, specialized aquarium.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes. Every order is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph any DOA in the sealed bag on delivery day and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page.
What water do Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp need?+
Warm, alkaline, mineral-stable water around 78–84°F and pH 7.5–8.5.
How are Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp shipped?+
Cardinal Sulawesi Shrimp ship Monday through Wednesday via Overnight / Next Day Air only because of their sensitivity.
Live plants give shrimp constant grazing surfaces, sheltered hiding spots for shrimplets, and promote the natural biofilm growth shrimp feed on. Every plant is shrimp-safe and ships safely alongside livestock.
