When the females are saddled and ready to mate they release hormones in the water and the males fly around the tank tryin to find the female. Very funny watching them frantically search! good video cory

I like the fact that the aquarium can be a fully functional microenviroment, wth the creatures living symbiotically.

How to breed cherry shrimp - My personal experience. Put two cherry shrimp in a tank, Drink beer, Done.

I introduced five red cherry shrimp to my tank, and they're breeding like rabbits, young shrimp literally everywhere. Wasn't intending to breed them, but I can see why you state they're fairly easy to breed! The Platys and Guppies are also breeding like rabbits, which will be a problem later as the tank will be way too crowded when they get bigger. At present though, it's awesome watching such a busy tank!

i searched "how to stop cherry shrimps from breeding out of control in my tank" and this came up... very helpful youtube

I can’t believe aquarium co-op doesn’t have wayyy more subscribers

2:00 I think that substrate is like 50% snail

i like how there are a bunch of snails. Gives me more confidence in my own tank.

Just did a bulk order of 100 red culls with an acceptable colour and I’m excited to introduce them to the small 10 shrimp colony already existing in the tank. The price was pretty prohibitive with my first 10 because they are almost top grade reds but I got an insane deal on these little guys and decided I’d rather a stable ok looking population then a weak amazing one. Hopefully over time I’ll be able to pick out the best of their fry and separate them into a tank for selling and try to stabilise a good red.

We put 2 cherry shrimp in the community tank a few days ago and so far so good

Love your channel dude. I’m new to the hobby, but I take my ecosystem super serious and I appreciate the knowledge I get from you. No point doing it, if you’re not going to do it the right way!!

Just watched your cherry shrimp vid from a couple years back last night. Great update on all the shrimp!!!

I put 5 cherries in my tank last December and left them alone only feeding bottom feeder pellets.. Now I have over 100 easy in my 40 gallon. They are super easy to take care of and breed

thI just got into aquariums and now shrimp and you have provided me a great deal of info. Thank you. I also find that you appear to have great business ethics which means a great deal to me, far too often "business ethics" is an oxymoron so it is nice to see someone succeed doing it the right way and treating their employees well. As an accountant who loves animals you are living my dream to own a fish/pet store, I think I should have been a biology major...

what I love about this video is, I got a lot more out of it then just how to breed shrimp. Tunes of great information. thank you

This is a proper presentation for cherry. Good job man. Balance and consistency is key.

Man, you are just the best. I love your approach and point of view about the fish tanks as full eco systems

Got an absolute wealth of info from substrate to lighting from you Cory.. Many thanks... There used to be an old film character who... From my limited memory used to say things like "that's my boy".. So when you speak out the side of your mouth as a greeting it reminds me of him.. Can't remember his name.. Regardless, many thanks our Cory... Cheers

Thanks Cory! I was trying to find something on this just before I saw the upload. Very useful, as usual!

I'm starting my cherry shrimp breeding tank today! Thank you for the advice!

good to see a video with a full ecosystem and not just shrimp It shows how well it can work.i was a bit worried about mixing fish with shrimp especially because how dear some can be but definetly gunna give it a try now

Corey! Legend bro! Your channel is just excellent, always providing great information.

Cory I love your channel soooo much, I'm setting up my first shrimp tank, thanks for the informational videos

Looking great Cory. Love the Ecosystems. Technically your blue shrimp is a blue dream line. Blue velvets are actually a whole different line. Many people have been calling blue dreams blue velvets lately which this is a misconception. If you ever want to see sometime I can show you the difference or mayb I should make a video on it...

Great video man! I have been doing the same thing so this is reassuring that my ecosystem approach is not only achievable, but beneficial for the criers too! Thanks for the tips!

Corey appreciate all your videos! They have been more then helpful. I'm out in Cleveland but I hope in the near future I can come out and see your store. Thanks again for the pro tips and can't wait to see what's coming up next.

Glad to hear you can safely breed with a community tank, I watched another video saying you should just keep the shrimp in their own tank but where's the fun in that?

I love your stuff man! Your videos are what inspire me to have all the tanks that I do today. My mum wasn't so keen at first but as soon as she realised how big the hobby actually is she loves it just as much as I do

this is great, I was in last night and bought some blue shrimp. thanks for the info!

I have learned so much from all of your videos!! I love you guys! Thank you for all of them! I have a 60 gallon, and just started my first cherry shrimp tank - so excited! I've read a lot on it, but this helps keep it simple and follows how I set up my 60.

I'd love to see more shrimp videos.!

I was just about to set up a shrimp breeding tank! Great timing for this video :D

Interesting, all the symbiotic relationships going on there. Gives me ideas for a new tank. Thanks.

Great timing! I’m obsessing of my shrimp. They may be my favorites!

Awesome video co-op I’m starting up a channel at the moment that will have all sorts of aquarium content on it at the moment I’m documenting my experience with breeding crystal red shrimp, So far it has been awesome and a lot of fun. I have a lot more content coming keep up the good vids !!!

I know this video is 3 years old but there is a ton of useful information here and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this :)

Absolutely loving this channel, immediately subbed and turned on notifications. Thanks so much for sharing all this awesome information!

We are going to try the cherry shrimp 🍤. Good advice for netting them!

Corey, you are my go to for everything fish related. Definitely the GOAT, but I don't believe that shrimp eat poop. Shrimp and snails are definitely scavengers but I don't believe from my research anything actually eats fish poop.

I absolutely love the blue velvet and blue dream shrimp

Always learn so much from your videos!!! Thank you!

I think you deserve more subs than you have. All of your videos are informal entertaining and quality

Hey Corey:) I have been a long time subscriber and it’s awesome to see you &your channel explode. I know this video was a while ago and you don’t have this tank but I am wondering what you used to run PH and TDS wise in your shrimp tanks. Thank you for the years of info and entertainment, lol I’d love to buy you a taco some time, keep on keepin on👍

I am planning on putting 40 red cherry shrimp on my community tank (guppies, neon tetras, rummy nose, and a pleco) Day 2 of quarantine, they hatched 10 babies more or less and i think i need to change my plan a little bit

Thank you for these videos, they are always insightful 😊 awesome!

I love your vidéos, my breeding tanks going beter and beter by watching your videos. Ty so much

Fun video! I would love to know more about specific water parameters as well... ph, temp, etc... Thanks a ton!!

this was realy cool and taught me a lot more then just how to breed shrimp.Keep up the good work .👍

I love your videos!They have helped me buy my fish & shrimp Thanks 🦐🐠

Thank you Corey been waiting for this video!!

Love this video❤️thanks Cory you are a fantastic teacher!

Continues to give me ideas....thanks man!

Nice video as always Cory!

I had Ramshorn snails in a planted pond in Thailand- and they bred like crazy but if I reduced the feeding they ate all the plants!! They were savages!!

I have a pregnant neocaridina this has been great help!

Great set up! Picked up some good tips, thanks man =)

Thank you. I was wondering if my cherry shrimp was carrying eggs. I have 3 shrimp in a 1-gallon planted fishbowl. They have plenty of mulm, 3 marimo balls, dwarf sag, crypts, and frogbit. I keep the bowl in a southeast window where the plants get natural light. It’s a little ecosystem and they like the stability. No water changes. After watching your video I added some moss. Thanks for the informative videos!

Your amazing. I love listening to your golden valuable advice. Thank you so much

Always enjoy your vids!

just picked up some cherry shrimp. cant wait to have cherry babies.

This was a really cool video, thanks for sharing!

Very informative, thank you for sharing this.

Absolutely extremely educational simplify. thank you Cory you’re the guy.Also aren’t all of his friends blue velvet cherry and orange the same just a different color variation that’s what I would think but then I’m not an expert

Daily Dose! Daily Dose! Daily Dose! It was my crack before Christmas. I need it!

Thank you so much for posting this!

Nice one Cory. My biggest regret with my red cherry shrimp is that I put them in too many different tanks initially. Now that I'd like to try to keep some other neocaridina species I'm struggling to find a tank that doesn't already have cherry shrimp in there and dont want them to inter-breed!

you are so wise! thank you, cory!

Real good info , and love those eco systems

That new guppy strain at 11:19 is beautiful

Hi Cory, it'll be the platies cleaning the algae off the glass....the shrimp do love to eat it, but in my experience (about 10yrs I've been breeding these guys), they never graze it all the way back. You can check it out on the Ep I did on Cherry Shrimp breeding, I do a few things I haven't seen done before that work exceptionally for me, and there is even some legit prawnography as I caught a couple in the act :) Anyways, keep up the good work mate.

I have some dragon rock in my tank the shrimp love it given the amount of hiding places.

Thanks for all your videos! Super helpful content, wish I had a fish shop near me with someone as passionate as you. Most fish sellers I deal with seem to just know the bare minimum for the job or check an iPad to answer my questions. I recently picked up 6 cherry shrimp to put in my 5 gallon betta tank. I didn’t realise in advance that the more red coloured ones are usually females. Within two weeks my tank was full of babies! Thankfully it’s pretty well planted and had about 5 survivors and now I’m seeing another new batch of babies! Do they ever stop?! They don’t seem very good at cleaning up leftover fish food. Wondered if you had any suggestions for a good bottom feeder to pickup food debris that can go with the betta. I was considering a few panda corys as they’re small. You can check out the tank im talking about in my latest “Diy resin aquarium ornament” video if you get time. Thanks again for all the top content!! ✌🏻

Nice Cory, always focusing on the Eco System first. It is good to know, that there is an alternative way. I would like to try sometime a Show Tank at the same time a Guppy and Shrimp breeding tank. I think there is a way to make it work. Thanks.

Good advice, have been thinking about keeping some of those shrimp. Have a sponge filter in the back and I know there is a good amount of algae on that. Did not know they prefer to have lots of algae and moss too.

Nice Thank you i am looking to populate my few tanks with shrimp, fish and lots of plants. I am just getting started. Hopefully i can find enough moss to fill half a tank (10 gallons) to get started. Then get shrimp to reproduce. I have two 29g, a 20g and 10g. I am hoping to get each going with reproduction to eventually mix with each tank. Buying substrate has been costly, and putting off getting into co2. Anyways thanks for the great helpful videos.

Thanks for sharing, great video and information.....

What an awesome video. So informative and not full of bullshit. 👍🏻

I started a five gallon tank on my desk two months ago. Started with six neon tetras, live plants, and two cherry shrimp. Now I have six neon tetras, 100 snails, and probably 20 baby cherry shrimp.

Shrimp are our friends not just for profit and food, good video Cory :)

Very informative, thanks

thanks for all the info!

Love!! Question....what larger fish do well with cherry shrimp, nerite, guppy/endler and plecos?

i love shrimps ... they are so cool i want to buy some

what do you recommend for temperature, and do you worry about pH? How about adding catawpa leaves and alder cones? Love your sponge filters by the way, converting my whole fish room to them with the ziss airstones gradually.

By far my favorite video so far Cory! I have a ten gallon with about 10 cherries, with two or three berried females. So happy😄 I also love those platies. Could you possibly tell me what they are called and where you got them?

I wish I could like this video twice.

You give me hope!

Excellent description how to seed an Aquarium. That's the easiest and fastest method how to stock a tank after 2-3 days (slowly, of course - but really fast). Can you explain what you said "contaminated" the moss? I'm always struggling to grow moss (java, christmas, riccia...) in various of my aquariums and the only one where it slightly grows is my highly filtered stream tank. Or maybe make a guide about moss? Species, how to grow it.... if any fish eat it (I suspect that happens in my big tank).

Great video 👍

Great video!

Great video Cory! I *love* the new intro! I have Sherry shrimp too! I had 12 but 7 died! I will buy some new ones soon! How are the Turtle eggs doing? *Thumbs up!*

nice sharing👍

Nice video and info

Certainly not a shrimp guy.. I do appreciate your consideration in all things aquarium wise.. Thanks for the vids Cory.. All best.. Yer pal Joe.. Lots love from Scotland.. X

Hi Cory, here’s what I would like to do... 29g, UG filter with crushed coral, sponge filter, Java Moss, Cherry Shrimp, and Malaysian trumpet snails. I plan on setting up the tank with the Java Moss and waiting about six months before adding the shrimp and snails. My main question is this: Would the crushed coral be appropriate as far as the trumpet snails being able to burrow under the substrate? I would eventually add a trio of guppies to the tank as well.

This is day one of reading about pet shrimp

Thank you that was super healthy

i just got some cherry shrimp and my betta grabbed one and threw her across the tank and i realized it’s a pregnant shrimp so i put her in another container and i’m crying now 😭

Hi Corey, Greetings from Australia! Just wondering, is it still as effective to have sponge filters without the lift tubes, as I noticed some of the sponge filters in your tanks didn't have lift tubes in them. Just wanted to know if I should bother with lift tubes with my sponge filter setups Thank you and keep up the great content brother!
