I know he said oxygenation isn't a huge deal with the shrimp but in my planted tank we put in a little airstone and within a week my extremely lethargic shrimp are all over the place exploring, huge difference.

Keeping 1 type of shrimp per tank is true for all Neocaridina. But keeping different types of Caridina can be a conscious choice if you want to try and breed your own Pintos or Mosuras by mixing bolts, tigers, and bees.

Damn... thank God I did watch your video because your statement of "You'll just end up with Brown Shrimp" hit different bc I dead ass was going to try a shrimp community tank BUT never mind lol.

A lot of great info. Thanks for sharing. One thing I Really like is that you aren't using this as a continuous selfie like a lot of you-tubers. You actually show the things you are talking about, instead of your face. Very refreshing. Thanks for that.

Wow! You saved me. I was wondering what those tiny things were and had a hunch most of them weren't baby shrimp, it's Planaria! Just bought the removal stuff. Thank you! Cheers

I just got my first crystal reds a couple weeks ago and now one of my females is now holding eggs. Great video👍

shrimps lowkey icing on the cake vibes additions in an aquarium tho

As a beginner aquarium enthusiast I enjoy your vlogs & learn a lot. Thanks from another Aussie.

I found that putting shells in the bottom of the tank supplies the snails with the calcium/minerals they need without affecting the water as much as cuttlebone or other calcium additives can. The snails will work on the shells as needed so sooner or later the shells will be less attractive in your tank than they were in the beginning.

I started with 11 cherry shrimp from another hobbyist and now have hundreds! I just took down my “shrimp” tank and divided the shrimp into 2 big heavily planted aquariums.

I love shrimp so much, I can't wait to have all sorts of them one day!

I'm going to try the leaf tip. Thank you. I've noticed that a number of my cherry shrimp love to hang out where my hang on back filter flows in. Of course there are shrimp down in the low-flow portions of my tank but I noticed a number of these shrimp will get right under the fast flowing water and sit there and eat any algae and what else they may find. You can get a sponge for your intake on a hang on back small enough to keep the shrimp out. Also if these shrimp come from rivers then more than likely they're used to some flow. I'm sure they love to hide and breed in the low flow areas but rivers aren't no-flow/low-flow. Creeks are low flow but rivers usually are not.

So happy when you said we can use Eucalyptus leaves! Will definitely be giving them a go!

I love this style of video! It is so calming and reflective, it makes me wanna fall asleep! Definitely keep it up 🥰 love you kfs 💘💘💘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦐🦐🦐

Straight to the point and very relevant. Thank you.

For mixing them to keep the colours the same and pronounced you can scoop out the ones that go darker and it will let you selectively choose the ones that breed and you won’t get dark ones if you do that every generation of shrimp or so

This is so fun! I never knew there where colorful varieties of freshwater shrimp. I live on the Texas Gulf coast and used to catch and keep Sargasso Sea shrimp and also pond reared commercial shrimp. These look like a ton of fun and way easier than marine tanks.

Thanks for the tips! I’ve been looking into getting some shrimp and this really helped!

Another great video. I enjoy your young enthusiasm and your vast knowledge at a young age. I am old and though my aquarium hobby has waxed and waned over the years due to many circumstances I have never lost interest. There is just no end to the directions you can go with this hobby. I am sure watching your videos that you will still be keeping fish when you are an old man. It just never gets boring.

Thank you for the good information!

Great video! I found it very informative. Keep up the great work!

Your vid quality continues to improve, really relaxing video

Love the vid man! Will definitely follow these tips for my new established shrimp tank. Thanks!

taking care of these little critters are actually quite shrimple

So nice to see family and genus Thanks

15:10 Happy to see that. I have cabomba's since the very beggining just because I liked them, and I rarely see them anywhere.

Thank you! I will soon get my 20 L nano from Dennerle, I cannot wait! I am planning to do a nicely decorated, heavily planted tank with an HOB filter, CO2 and LED lighting. I will use black substrate with fertilizer underneath and a little bit of white sand for contrast. After I cycle the tank, (test the water to make sure the parameters are alright) I plan to start with a small population of shrimp to see how they'll do in their new environment. I love the idea of leaf litter, but I am not sure how well it will go in such a small tank (maybe I'll break the leaves apart). if things go well and the shrimp establish a population, then I'll add some microfish to the tank aswell (small fish that wouldn't interfere much or at all with the shrimp) Hope it's gonna go well.

Thinking about getting a few shrimp. Thanks for the tips.

At the end of the day. You want to have stable water conditions and temp with neos. If you're doing this strictly as a light hobby, don't worry about listening to videos like this. They will breed given time and the colony will get used to their parameters, water flow, tank mates, etc..

Lower filter flow tip: tried and it DOES help. Thanks

I love this! Great work 👍🏻

Brilliant. Thanks.

Panacur works great at killing planaria and hydra quickly. It did not harm any shrimp fish or plants. 1 pouch per 50ml of treated water. I added 1ml of well mixed slurry per gallon. I had to treat all six tanks because I moved plants around before discovering both planaria and hydra. (Panacur is dog dewormer) It killed a lot of bladder snails and all the nirites. The Mystery and Assassin snails were not harmed. The panacur disapates after 24hrs and after about 3 days the snails died in droves. The water goes milky white for a couple of hours. Two doses were needed to eradicate the leaches. Great video young man...too late for me I mixed my shrimp varieties already, oops.

Jam packed with info ! !

Thanks for sharing ❤️

Looking forward to getting some shrimp for my nano tank. A little worried they might breed and overpopulate the tank. Hopefully mine we be happy, yet chaste. Lol

Nice vid! Keep up the great work! I haven’t kept shrimp but hope to in the future and I will definitely follow these tips!

Very informative and well made video! I have one question though: When you grab the eucaliptus leaves, do you put them in the tank "raw" or do you boil them first?

Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍

Very good information, detailed, I think I´m ready for keeping shrimp :)

super nice and good advices there thanks

Well done! Thank you!

Good info, thanks.

Very helpful video dude thank you

i just asked my LFS to order some cherry shrimp, so this was good timing

Amazing, thank you!

Enjoyed your video - thanks

Thank You for a Great Video.

I plan on adding 12 cherry shrimp to my community tank (3 red, 3 orange, 3 yellow, 2 blue, 1 black) I honestly don’t care whether they breed or not and hope their fry creates a nice snack for my fish 😄

I have three different types in my tank and now they’re coming out red and white pretty cool looking

Awesome video. Great job on cranking out the vids. Keep it up..... 👌👍😁

Thanks!

Great show, I'm having problems with my Shrimp, so Thanks..

Thank you so much

Awesome video buddy, thanks for a very informative video, keep up the amazing work buddy

Thanks for sharing!! :D

The time stamps in the description is 🔥

I’ve never had shrimps I really want them they are so adorable!!

I don't know if you have figured it out, But your videos in past have helped e a lot. for yellow C Shrimps, Neo Caradina (Soft water), If you can get hands on some RO water then fill a tank full of it, and try to stabilize it according to Care Guide that you are doing. Try with few. as they like Soft water they will slowly adjust. Just something I tried. I have a RO here in my house and I used it and it worked but took around 2 weeks for them to get all healthy and Free swimming and Happy till the started breeding. I have only 1 seller here and they get very less of any shrimp so I started with only 3. 2 males and 1 female, but I was left with only the male, later I bought 1 more female and did what I mentioned above and it worked.

sponge filter makes a perfect nursery for baby shrimp too 🙏

Great as always

Thank you

This is an awesome video.

Great video thanks for sharing

15:08 that's actually Limnophila sessiliflora. Cabomba has finer leaves and a bit harder to keep. If you want something easy like guppy grass, try hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum & Ceratophyllum submersum). You can just float them because they don't have roots.. And mosses, I prefer pelia moss or susswassertang (they're liverworts, not actually a moss) since they grow slower and not as messy looking as normal mosses. These are great since baby shrimp love to hide in them and provide tons of surface area for grazing.

Good info

It is a really great video!

I'm getting cherry shrimp soon! This video is great! The tank is actually acclimating right now, 5 more days, the tank even has a waterfall filter! It's my first tank. And would yellow cherries and red cherries be well together?

THANKS !!!

Thanks for the tips!

Planaria... I had a month where I probably over fed my shrimp and these things were everywhere floating around in my water streams. The boom in population seems to have subsided, but I discovered there is actually a Planaria trap you can put in the corner of the tank. I've yet to try it, but thought I'd put the info out there in case anyone wants a less scary alternative to meds. Great vid clips. Nice info and Good vid!

All neocaradina davidii come from areas in eastern Asia. There is one neocaradina, the neocaradina palmata for which the wild type comes from Japan. It is the subspecies from which the pearl varieties of neocaradina come from. Neocaradina palmata don't generally crossbreed well with neocaradina davidii, and for that reason, along with the fact that they are separated from the davidii by an entire sea, it has been speculated that they may in fact be an entirely different species. From these they have got the white pearl, the blue pearl, and the amber pearl. The wild type is a light grey with a brown stripe running down its back. The neocaradina davidii came from four wild types and one wild type variant which were a black abdomen with a grey carapace with black speckles, a solid dark brown, a light brow with a darker brown stripe down its back (and its variant which is entirely clear), and a grey with tiny reddish-brown spots on its carapace and on back on it's abdoment. You often here people say that if you breed mixed colours they will revert back to their wild type colours. This is not true. They will create a browning coloured shrimp which can best be described as a mutt, but which almost never bares any resemblance to the wild types. The wild types are colours all of their own, and unfortunately you almost never see them in aquaculture. The wild types are definitely on my wish list, but some of them have become extremely endangered, so getting them is not likely to happen, and you can't get them by back-breading. It just doesn't work that way. The other neocaradina which I would love to have are equally as difficult to find. I'd love to have some topaz, some red rili blue, royal rili/extreme red rili blue. If anyone has a lead on any of these, I'd sure appreciate a shout-out. Thanks.

planaria can grow back in full if you cut them in half and sometimes into smaller sections

@KeepingFishSimple Thank´s for a great video. How do you clean the gravel in shrimp tanks without siphoning up the shrimps?

Hi 👋I love your channel so much and I have some glowlight and silver tip tetras and I was wondering if you could do a video of how to easily breed one of those species😁😊😲😁

I enjoyed this video as well as the one of raising shrimp in bins. Any chance you have done or could do a video of setting up a shrimp tank that can be left for a week if I have to travel for work or go on vacation. Seems the raising in bins sorta did this. (2 week even better)

Oh wow, great to know that Eucalyptus leaves are okay!

If all else fails, coral magnesium additives gave saved alot of shrimp lives. They need magnesium the same way coral does to absorb the calcium and minerals.

Thanks for the tip with the banana leaf and acid without discoloration. Any thoughts on oak and magnolia? Because free near me.

i used to have one of those canister filters you put in the tank, jets water out of the top part and all the shrimp used it to live inside, when i would clean it out, i had to first open it in a bucket, so i could get all the shrimp out.

What a cool idea! I have been searching out breeding options for shrimpy. This one never occurred to me.

Nice tips👍🏼

How long do the eucalyptus leaves take to break down and how long do you leave them in for? :)

I just love your videos , they are so informative & satisfying..

I keep crayfish, so this video was helpful

Thanks for the tips, Just getting started in my fish breeding hobby and learning alot from you.

Some nice shrimp there nick cannot wait until there on the website

I keep mine in community tanks in Blackwater and they are doing well because the male betta isn't bothered to hunt them so these ones with the male betta and dwarf rasbora, kuhlis and ottos are doing very well and I have all sorts of colours.No brown ones yet. The second tank with the female bettas, Harlekins, kuhlis and ottos are a lot less because the female bettas hunt all the baby shrimp. So the colonies in both Blackwater tanks with 75-80% of plants are very healthy and active.

Thanks🍒🍓🍓

Can I just use gumtree leaves I am in australia I am new to cherry shrimp thanks for the help on the videos love this channel

Cholla Wood for biofilm and Malaysia trumpet snail to clean your substrate.

"These shrimp aren't doing well. I don't know what's wrong with them." Me: *Still believes all of his shrimp advice because the tone of his voice is so silky smooth*

Thanks for the video, really nice tips regarding the maintenance of an aquarium with shrimp :)

Hi. Enjoying your videos. Please do one on how much to actually feed the fish. I saw another you tuber that fed 20 times what I do. Have I been under feeding my tank? I was alway so cautious, just a pinch.

"Shrimp are probably one of the most sensitive species in the hobby" Me counting all my new baby shrimp while watching this video 👁👄👁

Nice video, thanks. However, you didn't talk about the other animals in the tank that go really well with the shrimp, snails.

Thanks :D

First thank you for all the info and I might breed betta’s

Very nice ❤

they have no problems at high flow too. cherry branch (cherry, sakura, bloody mary) i even kept them in estimative index aquarium with 30ppm co2. they didnt thrive completely, but the 5 shrimps i bought, became 100 in 6 months.
