Hello Ulli,
Yes, they are Sulawesi shrimps, i bought them as "Bloody-Mary", i don't know their real name...
My water parameters:
GH: 6
PH: 7,6
NO3: 0 mg/l
temp: 27 C
I hope they like this water but now they are very shy...

Hi Istvan,
your Sulawesi shrimp seem to be Caridina cf. spinata "fire red".
I've seen them under this name in our German forum. I'll ask the person who posted those pics if he could maybe say a word or two about them if you like.
Cheers

Hi Istvan,
the red goldflake shrimp is also C. cf. spinata, those two seem related.
I got the information here (German site): http://water-box.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=89&Itemid=163
Sorry to hear about your loss. What do you feed them?
According to Mura of WaterBox they like algae, microorganisms, spirulina and plankton tabs and (Japanese) shrimp food with a high vegetable content.
As they come from water with a very low percentage of nutrients, they shouldn't be overfed.
Cheers

Hello Ulli,
I think they eat... I gave them Shirakura shrimp food and micro powder, green algae and some spinach too, of cours very small portion. They prefer the spinach and the shirakura food.
Thanks that site, i will try to translate it.
