I went ahead and added the full list of shrimp that are available to the first post. Keep in mind all the shrimp list aren't Sulawesi . . . and are therefore better to get elsewhere IMHO. -
It is. Big risk. Big reward. With that said, for those interested, I think those interested should stick with some of the types madugo suggested. I'd stay away from the harlequins for now.Originally posted by Warlock View PostLeave a comment:

i will order $200-300 worth, will not touch the harlequins...
here are some of the nicer ones that at least I have friends that proven to breed/keep long term for WC entities, and are the ones that I am willing to bet my money on:
white orchid
red orchid
cooper bee
blue dot red line bee
Just got a confirmation from a friend that the tigri are among one of the most difficult ones to keep.
As of Harlequins, I am getting different inputs from different friends, some of them would swear they are the most difficult to keep, and would never touch it in their life again, one of them said she breed are few but said that the babies are very hard to raise. And from what I heard, that Spinata are a little more difficult than the ones I listed above, but I do know people breed pretty stable on them, nothing like cardinal crazy, but can see a few babies most of the time.
Most of my personal friends breed sulawasi shrimps are from China.
One thing to be noted, Chinese water might be really different than our Houston water, so something works over there might not work here, but something does not work over there does not mean it will not work in Houston water..
But on the other hand, my friends in China got hands on many more kinds of sulawasi shrimps than us, so I would say they are more experienced at least.Leave a comment:

Sulawesi Shrimp Group Buy
Okay. . . This will not be a order for the faint of heart.
WC Sulawesi shrimp . . . ~$3ea. No guarantees.
In my experience, there WILL be DOAs. We will all split DOAs. I will not make a dime on this. You must pay in advance. We have to order ~200-300 of each type of shrimp. If you have never kept shrimp before, this is NOT the group buy for you. Availability may change by the time that we order(I'm thinking the beginning of May), but it currently includes:
... amongst others.
