Really nicely presented Rob. Great job.

Well there you have it. This last week I decided I’m going to put together a shrimp tank. Iv never done that before. As I’m doing my planning and costing it out everything was going good till I watched your video. No doubt I’ll spend a grand so that I can watch them eat those lollipop things. Omg. I going to have so much fun. Lol thank you. Wonderful video.

Lots of great info Rob as usual, thanks for going through it with us and all the different aspects.

Great tank, love the aquascaping and very good info as well. Thank you!

That tank is looking amazing!!

Very good video Rob. Thanks again!

I love blue bolts! Awesome tank and shrimp! Thanks for the tips. 👌

Great job!!! I am looking forward to my shipment of cherry shrimp from you!!! Keep up the great work and dedicated service to your followers!

Love your tank and vids. Only get positive vibes

by using a good microphone on the videos would make these more attractive & enjoyable to hear. how ever, you are still one of the the best shrimp related youtuber on youtube. keep going on. :)

Great video 👍 thanks for sharing!

Tank is looking good man! Thanks for the feeding info!!!

First time keeping shrimp in a heavily planted tank. They are breeding well, but seeing lots of aggression during feeding. This video gave some great advice!

That is an awesome tank brother!

I make my own foods and feed twice a day. In the morning I use a powdered food and in the evening I feel the pellets I make. Also always keep leaf litter in the tank for them to graze on. For my powdered food I bloom some snowflake food(Soy bean hulls) and then let them dry back out. once dry run them through a cheap coffee grinder or like a magic bullet. After its turned into a powder I mix in spirulina powder, moringa powder, bee pollen, a bit of calcium powder and some tropical fish flakes. Blend it all together to mix and turn to powder and its done. I do 1/8th teaspoon of it per 10 gallons every morning. For the pellets I make I use pumpkin as a base. In the fall I buy a couple locally grown pumpkins, cut them into quarters, remove seeds and crap from inside and then freeze. After its frozen when it thaws its basically mush. I will then let it thaw completely and blend it up to get it into a nice puree. into the puree I mix in spirulina powder, moringa powder, calcium powder, bee pollen, powdered soy hulls and some tropical flakes. I mix it undil its a dough like consistency similar to what homemade pasta would be like. I then take that dough and put it through a clay extruder to form like spaghetti but thinner. dry it in my dehydrator for a couple hours then break it up and it breaks into perfect sized pellets.

I added one of the algae shrimp lollies to my tank that has about 40-50 RCS along with my fish. The dwarf pencilfish and a couple of the habrosus cories also picked at this right alongside the shrimp for quite some time which surprised me. Haven't tried the other "flavors" yet, but will be interested to see if these fish continue to enjoy this treat. WCMM in the tank showed no interest. But it was fun to watch the shrimp going at it.

Love that tank, with that current some fan or vampire shrimp would look sweet in there!

Great video. Thank you. I love your approach in doing what works. Especially coming from an expert like you. BTW, EBI means “shrimp” in Japanese, pronounced with short “e”. And Tengu is a mythical Japanese character that has a long nose...kind of like their demon. (Maybe you already knew that) just FYI😉. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.

Great video, thank you

Good video. Maybe clarify to folks that diversity of food is different than switching food. Less is more but make sure the animals in your care are getting the balanced nutrition they require to thrive. For instance I have a weekly pill container and I separate one type of food for that day and it stays consistent.

Great video. I will have to get some lollies for my lil cherry shrimp. They go nuts for hard pellets, i think they will love them too. I get worried about skipping feeds as I have some galaxy and mosquito rasboras in my tank, but I think I might let them graze on algae for a day or two. Your baby white shrimp are so freaking cute! Do you have a video about bamboo shrimp birthing? My fellas tank has 2 heavily pregnant bamboo shrimp .... but we hear setting up a brackish tank for the fry is tricky :(

the shrimp painting above the tank is cool where did you get it

Thanks! Just set up a blue velvet tank :D

Awesome. I keep crystals and neo together. So far so good but how do I get into specific tanks. I have RO water coming

Hey Robert, Nice tank! quick question, what do you think about a blue plecostomus and what's your favorite fish?

My Amano shrimps would yank the stick out of the dirt and run off with it 😆

Thanks for all the dedication Rob! ;)

This video helped me with my new pet shrimp.

Great video, envy on your beautiful tank..

Cool video. Shrimp are scarce here in South Africa which kind of sucks.

So cute the little ones!

thanks for the great video. I have a nano shrimp tank that came with 5 shrimp and 5 fish, rocks and plants and that dirt. We live in Okinawa, Japan and we don't speak/read the language so I am just flying by the seat of my pants with my tank. We have been salt tank people for more than 30 years and I just wanted the shrimp tank. The fish are all gone now, save a Pleco to keep the glass clean. I think I have about a million shrimp in my tank. I generally feed them once or twice a week and they seem to just flourish. I am sure I am breaking all the rules but I sure do love my little tank.

The moss is growing really good btw :) Thanks for the Infos 👍 was helpful

I feed once a day. Baby food (powder) and add another food for the adults that I switch up (Bacter AE, Beta Glucan, Shrimp King complete, Wafers, Shrimp dinner, Mineral Pearls). I also only clean the front panel of glass and leave the back and sides alone for grazing. My Taiwan Bee's (I adopted your shrimp children!!!) are doing super awesome and are breeding non-stop!

I live in New Zealand and we don't have tropical shrimp here so we don't really have these food types available in the hobby, but we have glass shrimp in cold fresh water in the wild and I have a native tank with about 20 that I have just been using fish food and algae to feed. Do you have any common fish food suggestions that are good for feedingI might be able to get in nz?

I notice you have a decent current in the tank, do shrimp enjoy that? Also what to feed Bamboo shrimp?

hi.. good evening sir, i have a 60 gallon tank only for shrimp with java moss and drift wood, no co2 only normal sponge filter. my question is how often should i change the water, i have caridina and neocaridina shrimps, caridina shrimps dies quickly, what should be the reason

Is hard to attach moss to anything long term. The moss on the top shades out the moss on the bottom. The moss on the bottom starts dying from lack of light.

Hi!!! I have blue dream shrimp in my community tank and in the last week I’ve noticed my females have all turned brown and even gotten a harsh line down the back. My males on the other hand are still a beautiful deep blue. Do you know why this might be happening? Thanks in advance!!

I got one tank that I never touch the algea and it’s one of my best looking tanks let the algea grow it’s awesome once it self balances

Hey buddy! Hope you're doing well! See you at Aquashella

Does keeping a small feeding tray/bowl helpful in reducing the chance of planaria appearance since shrimps are messy eaters such that no food pieces get into the substrate?

Back when I had an aquarium. I had shrimp in my aquarium along with serveral basic aquarium fish like neon tetras. And with other causcasians like Mexican red dwarf crayfish, and later I also had a Red claw crab. There were lots of plants and things in the aquarium. I never dead the shrimp, they just mostly ate the algea and the left over fish and crab foods. The shrimp lived the longest of all the animals ij the aquarium, until they got killed by an old bottom dwelling fish that is not supposed to be aggressive at all. But I've seen someone on facebook feeding their shrimp spinach leafs and their shrimp really started to swarm the leaf and loved it, soI'll try that if I'll have an aquarium again in the future

I am doing a back yard system here on Kaua’i, using invasive shrimps and prawns cleaning up the eco system for our natural aquatic farming resources and management for the invasive species for control What is good feed?

I make my own spirulina sticks, but they disintegrate as soon as the shrimp start feeding on it. It's all good as fine particles spread through the tank, and nothing is wasted, but wanted to know how to make them last longer like the ones you buy.

Where is all the Dennerle food you so highly appreciated?

aw they are so cute

I scrape the front and side glass and let the back glass grow wild with algae. It’s a natural backdrop, it’s usually very green and not really that ugly. If I’m gone for the weekend it’s a snack source for the fish and shrimp til I come home.

Do you have a heater for that tank? Some say no some.say yes. I've seen planted tanks without anything where shrimp thrive. Do.youbhavr a suggestion as to what type of.filter for shrimp

I got brown algue i want the green.... anny tips?

in my current tank i have 1 ghost shrimp (that has been alive for 3 years!) and 3 recently added snails. earlier today i ordered 6 new shrimp that wil be arriving in a few days and im not sure im the food im feeding the ghost shrimp will sustain all of them. ive been feeding the ghost shrimp fish flakes, and it also grazes but since im tranfering it to a new tank it wont have much. ive hearded that snowflake food and power food is good, should i invest?

I’m new to the hobby and I have a teeny 3 gallon neocaridina shrimp tank that has 10 shrimp in it. I haven’t yet tried powdered food yet because I’m nervous about over feeding and I typically use a feeding dish, but never realized about the aggression as you mentioned. I have a ton of plants, rock, driftwood, and botanicals & my tank was seasoned for 2 months before adding any shrimp. I have 2 berried females & will need to start feeding something powdered soon. Any suggestion on how to figure out serving size for such a small tank to avoid over feeding?

What’s ur opinion on making a rock pile for them to breed ?

Ooo this guys a lushie leme sub!

What kind of moss was that. I would really like to purchase some for my crystal reds and red king kongs

Do you feed them if they’re in a tank with fish

What is the name of the moss? It’s incredible

Cool

Please open a flip aquatics in Australia 🇦🇺💖💖💖💖

Hey Robert at 330 in the video you have A moss. What is the name of that particular moss. Thank you

YOUR TANK IS SO SICK BRO! IF I EVER MAKE A ILL BE SURE TO POST A VID!

Did u say u have shrimp in the subtank?

Aren't there too much flow in this tank? The shrimps just "flying" around in the tank.

The shrimp in the sump made me think of flushed away. Where they’re in the sewers of the upper class shrimp.

Okay I have a planted 5 gallon tank with a drift wood centerpiece with one male betta and snails. I get a lot of algae on the sides of my tank so I was thinking about getting shrimp. and I was wondering what kind I should get, how many I should get, and what I should be feeling them. Please help me out!!! (Oh also I have two Moss balls)

In the shot at 14:24 what is the plant that is in the top left corner of the frame?

Do they eat/like diatoms algae?

I noticed there is a lot of current in your tank and the shrimp are fighting against it. I read online that lots of current is not good for shrimp. Is this the case? Do your shrimp get affected by this?

I like your shirt 😄

What's the best size tank to start with? I've been told 10Gal and other say 20 long

LOL I crush up goldfish flakes, they go nuts for it. Oh and Repashy grub pie.

I don't feed my shrimp at all... I get algae on the back glass and one of the side glass plus plants.. they do great, even spawn 99 gallon and about 300 shrimp Also boiled carrot ,parsley,cucumber and so on are all good natural foods. Cheers

Hey rob, it looks like some of the shrimp are sparring? Do they fight over food? Thanks🙂👍🏻

I noticed that they seem to have a hard time holding on to surfaces because of the flow in there. I don't know anything about shrimp, so I could just be talking crap lol. But, do those type of shrimp like that extra flow?

Do you have CO2 in this tank?

I want to feed hikari sinking excel chichild food to my cherry shrimps.This food contains copper sulfate. Hikari added copper sulfate in their shrimp food.My question is can there be more copper in hikari chichild food?and this food is safe for neocardina Sir? Help me sir..

If I kept shrimp in the same room that I play drums in will that be bad for the shrimp?

Mmmm yummy!

Hi rob I’m just getting into Shrimp keeping and I really hope you could answer my question is it safe to keep dragon stone with Crystal Red shrimp Or will it in any way affect their health and or breeding.

my shrimp population is out of control, what do I do?

God Bless :)

Isn’t the filter going to absorbe all of that powder food?

What about seed shrimp? They grow in numbers like crazy. I fear them overpopulating the tank and killing my colony.

Im tired of posting my 20 gallons swarming in shrimp and people yelling at me my tanks are dirty because of all the algae...

I have a 5 gallon tank with ghost shrimps, cherry shrimps, and Amano shrimps, and they're all alive and well in one tank. It's been about 5 months since they've been coexisting and I haven't fed them since. I'm experimenting with an ecosystem setup.

The best feed for shrimp is algae glass

"The very very first thing i want every one to know is that " this guy needs a Mic asap!

Definitely a lot of shrimp in the tank. It appears to be infested. That sounds a little negative but not all infestations are bad.

A lot of shrimp in the tank

hehe shrimp Lollies from germany?

Keep em hungry . they won't die if you don't feed them often. They always have hidden snacks. At least my tank does

if you had to guess how much is the tank is worth with all the shrimp? lol

Wheeeeeeeeee

Fish tube? How about shrimp tube! 😆

can you send me message looking at buying shrimp from you

Ok he kinda cute

Lol looks like scuffed baked alaska

If they dont come , something is wrong? Mine dont really come for food. I dont know what is wrong. I keep getting babies. I have algae and biofilm, I use Bacter AE, my tank is full planted (no place for more). I dont find dead shrimp. No ammonia, no nitrite, and nitrates are low because of the plants, and tropicals one, over the tank. 7 driftwood, many rocks and hiding spot. I dont know. Nothing interest them. I bought all 😂

came here for one question got a 15 min video
