Cooper helps to molt, but myself I feed food with no cooper because there are way o many stories that say " I feed them cooper sulfate, and all shrimp are gone" so I don't take the risk.. Yet.

Sorry for bumping the topic. The killer of your shrimp might be water shock, you can use prime, I do it my self no proble . But the shrimp are very delicate when it comes to water, spike in amonia, nitrates, etc will cause the death of few. Older shrimp are the worst when It comes to adapting to a new tank set up. Why? Because they were already use to the same water for months. So when you put new shrimps in any tank take your time and place a bit of water from the tank into the bag. LPS should have the same gH, kG and maybe pH, but not the same temperature. water shock is something to watch out for, and if you have a water pump(maybe your tank is to small for one but what ever), put your shrimp(the ones that look weak) in a breeding box or something and put the pump right in front, sometimes a little water flow helps a bit.

Hello mates, Sulawesi shrimp are awesome, I myself think of importing some CB from Indonesia, but shipping its going to kill me. Anyone interested in a group order? I have their list prices + their policy. I my self want to get some spongicolas( the ones that don't require sponges to survive) blue leg poso, Red lines, etc. I'm setting up a Sulawesi 50 gallon tank soon next month. Anyway, if we could organize a group order that will be great. I've been in touch itch this seller for already months. And he also sells fish plants snails etc. I'll post the list as soon as I'm close to my pc

Rili IMHO they are hardy shrimps(hardier that cherries) breed easy, adapt quite well to different water parameters, cool patterns, they range from green/blue to withe to orange to red coloration. In my case I have several full white rilis with a couple red dots on the tails and full red legs. Those are the coolest. I'll post some pics of mine. In my opinion there's is no grading why? Well you can have full red and tail red coloration on both parents but still the shrimplets will have random coloration, and because in my case it's a 1:1 rate(almost). Is not fair to say this one is a better grade. But what you can say, though, is if the rili almost looks like a cherry... Put it down b/c it's going to affet the patterns on the rilis and make the middle transparent part gone[if breeded]

Welcome!
