Sulawesi??

I was shopping for Blue Bee Shrimps at a LFS, my friend took one pack of blue bees, and when I took another pack, after taking a quick look at the color and size, I bought it, thinking it was Blue Bees, there were 2 of the shrimps inside the bag...

I released it into my tank of CRS, and they went straight into hiding...After a couple of days, the supposedly blue bee shrimps appeared, and after taking a closer look, I think it is a Sulawesi!

I was getting worried and thought, oh no, they are gonna die, the waters are not right for them in my CRS tank...but surprisingly, they survived for 2 weeks...still active...hence, I decided to rehome them into my Rilis tank, as the PH is higher, around 7.5-8, whilst the CRS tank is at PH 7. and I have added a coral into my Rilis tank recently...

Can anyone help me ID which species of Sulawesi is this, or is it not a Sulawesi? It looks like the orange delight to me, but the color is almost purple...

Sorry for the poor photo quality....

I forgot to add, the temp in my Rilis tank are a little higher, which is better for Sulawesi.

I saw them too in lfs most of lfs say it is blue berry but if look closely you can see spot on their body light colour spot. What i saw have different colour ranging from dark dull orange - dark blue in colour i suspect they are sulawesi also but can't confirm maybe Master Silane can enlighten what spieces are this.

is it chocolate? just my wild guess. let's wait for shifu and shixiong to enlighten

I think this is a Orange Delight Sulawesi...my guess it's definitely more to Cardinal species...

My pics quite blur, I try to take clearer pics tonite...

But the shape of the body is excatly the same as Orange Delight, and it has dots on its body too...

I think is sulawesi orange delight.
The picture not very clear.
You see if there is spots on the body.

From websites i researched last time, this looks to me like an orange delight. I have yet to add one of these guys in my tank, but i have stopped collecting as something is wrong with my condiitons and i mnust fix it...Nice catch tho

Are they still surviving?

Hi yes still surviving. I've redone my 2 tanks into Sulawesi homes now

I started buying cardinals, mini blue bees aka orange delight, harlequins, red orchids, starry nights and they are all beautiful.
Though I've a few casualties in the beginning stage, mostly the harlequins, I believe things are starting to get more stable now (touchwood).

But I'll stop harlequins for now, too sensitive.
Once I get more success than I may consider to get again.

Thanks.
