I no longer keep this species.
Blue Leg Poso Shrimp are the only species of shrimp found in Lake Poso in Indonesia. Blue leg Poso's are often called the easiest of the Sulawesi species to keep and breed and I have to say that so far I agree with that statement. While they are not the most striking of the Sulawesi species they are never the less an impressive species. Their body is a clearish opaque and they have a blue tail and legs with red antennae. Blue Leg Poso's are NOT shy like the other Sulawesi species and will be actively foraging during the day like most Neos or Caridina species people are familar with.

My Tank Parameters
The tank is 100% RO water remineralized with Salty Shrimp Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 according to the directions on the jar. The temp is 81-83F. I have also been using GlasGarten Bacter AE and GlasGarten Betaglucan + Immunglobulin in their tank. The Bacter AE has done an excellent job of creating plenty of biofilm for them. Since they are wild-caught they do not seem interested in prepared foods so biofilm will be the main part of their diet. I also have SL-Aqua Snowflake Food available at all times in their tank and they pick at that frequently as well.
