After having two more caridina spinata dying, I decided to start a treatment with JBL Furanol2 in my Sulawesi tank. I dosed 2 pills on 27L water netto and turned off the UV sterilizer.

The Golflake shrimp had brown bubbles in the neck and seemed  to have molting probs. I have contacted one person ins this matter who is regulary doing imports of Sulawesi shrimp. He replied that this illness is a problem of only wildcaught Sulawesi shrimp and that it is infectious to other shrimp. Some folks assumes it might be a parasite. This prob is reported from Goldflake, Dennerli, Malili red and Red Line Shrimp. His advice is to separate ill shrimp immediately because infected shrimp will die.

    HI, I like very much your blog and your shrimp and I love Sulawesi shrimp.
    Do you know where I can buy Sulawesi Shrimp online?

    Hi Guiseppe, thanks for your compliment :) I am sorry I can’t help you with the Sulawesi thing. Perhaps try to get them in italien forums. Hence, sending shrimps from one country to another is illegal without necessary papers.
