Research their specific requirements before considering any mixed colony.

Why specialist shrimp compatibility matters

Sulawesi shrimp are kept under distinct water conditions in specialist aquariums, so a shared setup should not be assumed compatible. In a shrimp-focused aquarium, the choice should also support steady routines, visible livestock, and access for basic care.

Before you act, check whether each species' documented parameters and feeding environment overlap. Compare the item with the rest of the setup and note any recent change that could affect what you are seeing.

A careful way to proceed

keep separate systems if the care requirements cannot be supported together. Make one adjustment at a time and watch how the aquarium responds during normal observation.

Avoid combining species because both are freshwater ornamental shrimp. Labels, products, and tank conditions differ, so use a reliable guide as context and record what you directly observe. If uncertainty remains, ask an experienced shrimp keeper before making a consequential change.
