Didn’t know I could be so invested in a shrimp love story. Theo and Ellie are too cute

You're doing very well in improving your documatary skills. Adding all of the foley noises was a really nice touch. When watching a nature doc, you take for granted how much foley adds to the storytelling and it made a difference here.

The shrimp-in-a-garbage-can video inspired me to start a neo colony in a 10 gallon water cooler. Best idea ever! Some old substrate, moss, and driftwood, on the bottom. A cheap grow light, red root floaters, a heater and sponge filter…. Every couple weeks I catch a bunch with the bottle method. I keep the best, good ones go into my display tanks, and I sell the less impressive adults with the RRFs and moss. I wouldn’t really describe it as a money maker, but I have made a lot of friends.

This is SOOO adorable and it’s like u have another world in your room.

Ecosystems are so cool! So far I've only made terrestrial ones. Yours is looking quite lovely!

Fantastic camera work, I love seeing the little creatures so close and so clear 👍 😊

go to some local pond and gather some decomposing leaf litter out of the water and put it in. then you can really see what nature can provide you with^^

Inspiring ...... so much so, spent this weekend setting up a jar, but using Walstad method. Now back to it .....

Wow! I absolutely loved this little project of yours nick, you have created something about beautiful in such a small space mate and to see it full of life is heartwarming to see. Love the names of the parents too mate, cant believe there is baby shrimp. Great job as always mate 😊

That was so cute to watch. And you've build them a beautiful world to live in.

Yes please do that very keen to see how the jar goes

So good to see a mini ecosystem grow, I started one last week with neo caridinas and did the same in the spring with tadpoles and now the time has come for the hind legs to be formed. Can't wait to be the mini frogs.

Pleasant Sunday morning treat, glad your posting frequently again Much appreciated

Great storytelling and videography as always!

Great audio mixing/editing, awesome vid love these little docos 😁😁

Thanks from Tucson AZ USA. Very nice video. The project turned out well.

This video was so cool! From story telling, to the fine editing was perfect! Keep it up! I really want to make one of these now too! Lol

Always fun to experiment, looks good!

Simple and nice setup, love it❤❤❤

How amazing are these lil guys. 😀

I'm currently inspired to make a horticultural aquarium with shrimp and snails. Watching this video gave me confidence and feels like a great kickoff point for my research. Thanks! =]

i feel peace watching this tiny ecosystem

Now I wanna make one! Great video as usual!

This is one of my favourites videos of yours

I love sea creatures they look so peaceful

Absolute bangers, one after another.

Well need more this type of videos so relaxing

ive been wanting to do somethin like this for so long, this looks so good mby the motivation i need

Those mini crayfish are so cute

I did the same exact one like here 2 weeks ago and its working out smoothly.

Nice. I have one too. Also with filter. But believe it or not. The ones in the jar are superbig and healthy. With all respect. I even sometimes forget to give them food but they have enough in the jar to eat probably. Like to watch

Love the sound effects!

That's cool, I did the same with leftovers and cuttings from my other tanks. I had my doubts but it is working a lot better than I expected. Yours looks nicer tho than mine

Hey Nick your videos are awesome keep up the good work I learnt a lot from watching your videos I will have to give that a go 😊😊

I love this, and think I might give it a try.

I want to do this!!!!!!! So cool ,Love it!

Love how you named the duo🎉❤

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing

You amaze me! My husband and I enjoy watching your channel so much. I’m impressed that you are so willing to share information! Keep up the great work! Are there any species you haven’t been successful in breeding?’

love this keep them coming

Such a beautiful clip

I used to have the exact same thing with snowball shrimp as well!

Jars and bowls are a great place for culls or excess males. Then you're not constantly having to pull babies to keep the bioload down. Thanks for another great video! I've never seen such great images of those tiny limpets eating! ✨🙏✌️✨

Amazing job ❤️

I swear every video you put out is better and better than the previous. I can tell you’re passionate about what you do.

Loving the new style of content

That’s really good!

Such an amazing video! Could you try to breed ember tetras next?

Beautiful love story ❤

i loved it. keep this series pls:)

this is beautiful. I love the video production, reminds me of Tanner of SerpaDesign. Look forward to the update. I may do this same thing on my desk.

When you top-up the water try to do it without creating too much turbulence. Use a surface to break the fall of the water stream.

Doesn't surprise me you had success. That's an ideal shrimp hotel!

Amazing sound affects

The water cannot flow through the sand quickly and therefore the lava rock cannot have a filtering effect. Aquariums require a break-in period of 2-6 weeks before animals should be added. This is the only way to guarantee a stable environment. You could stabilize the water directly because you took the equipment from existing tanks. However, this is the exception and not obvious for beginners. Also, how much work and experience you put into the care and water values ​​​​on a daily basis is not visible here and should be communicated to people so that they know how to replicate this. And especially if you choose light sources (like here) with a high UVC content, this can quickly have a negative effect. All in all a good video. I would really appreciate it if you would clarify a bit more. Wish you all the best. Kind regards

plants do you use

I did the same thing recently. I bought some shrimp for a different tank and decided to keep the water they came in, in a 2 gallon jar for whatever reason. Turns out there were 10 baby shrimp I had not seen in that water and I decided to turn the jar into their home. In two months time I now have tons of baby shrimp and a jar full of guppy grass.

Great video! Makes me want to create a shrimp tank.

Not what i expected from your channel but i dig it.

no way my guy found a random mango i threw away

I am glad that your eco jar was a success, I have also done this, plus I also have three big glass fish bowls, and another one with a peace lily growing out of the top of it. And all of these have been very successful.

I use pond soil topped with sand, some moss and a branch. My shrimp and snails breed constantly. I spread them out in my outdoor tub ponds. Zero chance of accidental release. I live in a very arid location.

Looks very nice. Please watch a few FatherFish videos on how you can make it a bit more efficient!

The flatworm at 3:58 is of the Genus Macrostomum. My guess would be Macrostomum quiritium. Thanks for the great video!

great video dude!

Tip, you can use beach soil or forest soil but clean and rinse very well or the soil will put many unwanted bacteria in the tank 😊 😊 😊 😊

I looked for your updated video but couldn't find it. Did you make it yet? Very excited to see it!

very cool

Thanks for sharing:)

i love this concept! i have a bowl on my table, my shrip already gave birth 2 times. i had some baby fish in my bigger aquarium but most of the babys were eaten after 2 days. so i decided to put them in the bowl too since they are so small. they are doing so well! i have the bowl like a dutch hybride/ walstad methode. i used pottingsoil and pond soil. then topped it of with some nice round grain of poolfiltersand. its great aeration. i didnt used hardscape so i could put more plants. and i used snails who dig themself and the substrate all around. i use a little piece of black alder to control my ph since i have a high kh. and i used some little pieces of cattapa leaves becouse we all know how well they are. a month ago i introduced a little colony of DAPHNIA. use HAVE to get them. when you look some information up about them you can find out that thay eat algea, and the clean water! they are perfect creature to have between the size of a shrimp and the macro creatures like the copepods we saw in your video :) thanks for sharing KFS! :D ps just uploaded a video from it, if your curious about it you could have a look :)

So cool.. Nature is amazing

Storytime! Love this video and this documentary style! But I miss your regular way of speaking with its natural enthusiasm and energy ❤️ Taking off to make a shrimp bowl!! 😂

Brilliant

Verry good video and on my birthday🎉

Great, really great, superb 👌 What are the aquatic plants you have placed inside the jar???

I have my jar since a year, it was from IKEA for spaghetti, I never feed the shrimps they just have plenty of algae from plants. they're very relaxed and thrive well in it.

Nice if you live in QLd No in Melbourne you need a heater for it. But nice project!!

Great video 😁👍

Thinking of doing something similar, do you top of the tank with regular tapwater?

where's the part 2?

I added pond water to my tank. I haven't lost a fish in a long time ❤

Really loving all of the information you are putting out. Have you considered starting a Discord?

I have two kids and their names are theo & ellie 😊 iimagine my fave when you introduced the first two shrimps 😂

Id love to do that.

did you have to do anything to make the water/jar safe for them? any sorts of cycling of the water or checking levels?

How long did you wait after set up to introduce the shrimp?

I love working with shrimp!

Ur Videos are sooo good bro Keeper it up

Nick, when you added the water to the jar, did you use RO water or just tap? Would the TDS eventually get to high, or will you do small water changes?

GREAT BEAUTIFUL MICRO-VIDEOS OF THE TINY-CREATURS :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

I need to know what lightstand and bulb you're using

Loveeee this idea!!!! Can you do a video on what you have to do to clean it? Bout ready to go to my thrift store looking for large jars 😁 also, would a low powered an air stone benefit in it?

Do you need to "cycle" this tank style before use?

This is my plan! I’ve just got some Moss balls… then when I was researching those it made me come across someone who set up a shrimp eco system with them in, and now I want shrimp too! Do you have an update on these guys?

Do you do partial water changes regularly?

What nutrients did you use ?

I seen you made this little shrimp tank 6 months ago, how’s it doing, shrimp still alive, have you had to clean or do water changes, I would like to start on myself. If possible can you do a short update video on it. Thanks

i didnt even click this but from my kitchen i recognise the voice now i might aswell sub i fucks wit u homie

wow 🦐🦐😄

Kewl. I have wanted to raise little shrimp too but have not found any healthy one near me. In good time I suspect.
