Didn’t even know a green screen till the package 🤯

This is by far the most comprehensive video on cherry shrimp care. This video is great for beginners since it addresses everything: water, tank, filter, substrate, decor, plants etc. It is also very well structured and straight to the point.

Oh how I wish Flip Aquatics and Aquarium Co-op shipped to Canada.

thanks im a beginer and was looking for a straight foward video like this your awesome and tons of help 😎👍

Thanks for all the info! Love to see another shrimp keeper sharing the knowledge!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

Great video definately needed this !!

Really informative video. Thanks

Very good information thank you. The only thing you did forget to mention was make sure your tank is by a chair because you will send a long time watching their coming and going and milling around the tank!!

Great video and informative, We set up a shrimp tank a few months ago and it's going well. Thanks for sharing.

Superb. Just what I needed to know. 👍 Thank you 😊

Good shared

Thank you sooooooo much forrr helpinggg me for my shimp

Great video man, helped a ton 🙌

I feel like I just read a 200 pages book amazing video

Great informative video! Thanks for sharing it with us:)

Thanks for a great video! I do about 35% once a month. 15g with wild type shrimp. Started with 20, had hundreds within two months. Maybe 4 or 5 hundred in there now. Java moss, subwassertang and Java Fern windelov growing all over the wood in the tank. Have a small Eheim ecco with a big prefilter sponge as my filter. Use a Fennix stingray as my light. Going to give them another 15g very soon. I might add them to my 60g Wild Swordtail tank when the plants grow in more. Who knows, I might even try one of the colored varieties.

Thank you. Just cycled a 5 gal Fluval and added 2 little plants then saw cherry shrimp and couldnt resist! They are beautiful. I never see them much in Texas!🤠🦐🦐🦐🦐 I am hoping I have enough biofilm for them to snack on. I dont even have fish yet. I'm trying to find some type of food to feed also. They seem to hide under leaves st this point.

Great video thank you for the knowledge! Liked n subscribed

Great video

Clear as mud :)

Hi I have never had shrimp before and found this video one of the best I have a tank ready was going to put gravel into it and use tap Water and add seachem prime would I be able to take the sponge out of my tropical fish tank and use in my new setup for cherry shrimp how long do u think it would take to cycle and what sort of tests would you recommend sorry for all the questions I liked the way you explained everything thanks again

Are you green screening? Great video, thanks heaps.

If you have shrimp in a tank that is still cycling, can you use fritz complete or a similar product daily to keep them safe?

Nice 👍

This guy couldn't have been more right never get plays sand!! Nightmare of the day for me fellas

Can I take everything from my established tank and put it all in a new bigger tank and transfer the shrimp up that new tank?

I have wondered for 5 years how to pronounce cholla. I was unknowingly pronouncing it right all along. Kinda proud of myself.

Can I use 2.5mm size sand? Or crushed black lava rock pieces as a substrate?

I think of was Flip that said a water change would help the breeding process because it would cause then shrimp to moult. Something else he said was that calcium (within the TDS) is very important to help with moulting too.

Another great video just got my first dozen cherry shrimp.In a ten gallon with gold white clouds ,neon tetras and a koi betta letting them clean what gets on bottom and oak leaf for food.

I have a planted tank that has been without fish for about 2 months, since my betta passed away, I do partial water changes every week to avoid algae and insects, it also has a filter, I'm thinking about changing the substrate because the one that's in it is crystal like, and I want something darker, but do I need to cycle it before adding shrimp?

Your wife is going to slowly take over the fishroom with shrimp!

Nice blue/green screen effect...

Is there a specific shrimp mineral you are using?

can you use mopani wood ?

Nice video, good information and easy to relate to. I did set up a 10 gal dirted tank for cherry shrimp but end up with lots of snails when I bought plants for it. I treated the plants with PP and bleach, still got pond snails. I now have 3 mollies and 2 zebra loach in there to eliminate snails before adding cherry shrimp. It's an uphill battle going on for 6 months now. I am at a point that I want to dump cupramine in the tank. Having said that, my zebra loaches are doing triple overtime for me so I'm giving them a chance. Any suggestion of fish species to keep with cherry shrimp or keep it shrimp only? Thanks.

What brand or model of sponge filter would you recommend for a 10 gallon planted tank?

My well water is at 550ppm after softening and they seem to like it just fine. And the snails are loving the calcium, no idea what the ph is and I run the tank at whatever the room temp is. And I feed them spinach, nettles, zucchini, bananas

Does it have to be sand?

love your vids and thnx for sharing your knowledge. i'm a beginner and trying to keep and breed cherries in a 3 gallon low-tech nano tank (marineland contour 3), with lots of plants and some drift wood and mineral rocks. it's taken me 2.5 months of learning, trial and error, and sadly killing a bunch of shrimps in the process. i finally have the water parameters within range, with ph @ 7.1, kh @ 4, and gh @ 7. however, the tds likes to stay around 250. i tried water changes and lowered it to 200; it eventually slowly creeps back up to 250. i don't know if tds will continue to rise; i guess time will tell. so my question is how accurately should i monitor the water parameters, esp. tds? i keep hearing to do less and keep it stable. at which point do i need to lower tds? and besides water changes, what else can i do to lower tds? 2nd question is my water temp fluctuates from 72 to 75 everyday, depending on day/night natural room temp. is that ok? last question, how many shrimp in a 3 gallon tank is too many for them to breed? many thnx. your fan, david

By the way great videos I learned so much. Here in California I'm seeing a lack of feeder fish. I want to go into breeding Rosy Red Minnows, any advice? Tank setup up, leave them in or take them out? Thank you.

👌👌👌

I have a 55 Gal that I want to raise cherry shrimp in. It's planted and I had it up and running for about 3 weeks with a sponge filter out of my 75 limia tank. I also have 8 mystery snail in it. What advice could you give about tankmates

Great video Jason. By the way, your catfish are doing fine.

👍

Do you drip acclimate the shrimp? You are so far the only one that found does simple set up for cherry shrimp. The others was too much too many step

God Bless :)

👍👍👍

if i had sand to my 20 g tank do i need to remove all my shrimp or can i just just add it in carefully.it is pool sand.

🦐👍

Are all leaves safe for shrimp? Could I just use leaves from outside, or are specific types the best?

I have 5 10 gallon tanks in my bedroom with neocaridina. I just purchased them 2 weeks ago from Lucas Bretz but they are still hiding quite a bit. I notice that they hide even more when I disturb them. When I do a little bit of a water change and add new water they seem to spook and hide even more. Why and how can I add water and not disturb them? You said they like water changes but I notice they hide when I add water.

So is the Fluval Strattum not good for Neo's?

love how he says cardinia lol

Shrimp substrate 😜

My tap water is 220 tds is it safe? Its not well/earth water it is supplied from local pumping station

Hi i have some questions... A) Is there any wood that wont give colour to water? B) is dragon stone is safe? Because currently im following this topic of some dragon stones being safe for shrimps and some not being safe...

Can I keep cherry shrimp in a ten gallon tank with sunburst wag platies?

I have a sponge filter from another tank but the fishes from that tank have died due to ammonia can i use the sponge filter for my new shrimp tank ?

i am setting up a 6 gallon for shrimp the ones i am getting are sunburst but only want them for pets not bothered about breeding them will 6 gallons be enough and how many would you reccomend in this size tank

Hey I need help I’m new to the cherry shrimp can you give me some tips I’m planning on keeping them into a 125 gallon tank so pls reply how many shrimp should I start with inside a 125gallon tank and also the 125 gallon tank is lonely so there is nothing in it and I also have a lot of hiding spots and sand on the bottom so yeah help me out

What kinda snail would you recommend?

15 to 20 percent water changes….well shoot. I was hoping to add some to my pseudomugil tank,which gets a 50 percent change weekly.😢

Can i combine the shrimps with a betta fish?

I noticed you had the galaxy tetras do they eat the babies cause I’ve been wanting to put them in my tank

can river shrimp breed in aquarium???

Great video What sponge filter is that?

I got some questionable shrimp from Flips. Most of them are either old af, or cull level variety from any home breeder. Nice video though. I have all of these suggestions in my tank. Lol

Caridina or Cardinia?

You said a dark substrate really makes the colors pop but you never told us what the dark substrate is that you use. I prefer not to use sand because I want to add plants and I heard sand isn’t the jest for plants

You use a green screen, parts became transparent... But anyway, I am pretty new to shrimp, about a month or two. I have been getting a few at a time, and I got some essentially colorless ones that are in there just because they were very cheap but I wouldn't want them to breed,and a few ghost shrimp which are about the same. Yesterday I looked in there and a female (painted?) red shrimp (I don't know) was laying on her side with two smaller transparent shrimp apparently eating her thru the belly! 😲 My eyes just about popped out of my head! 😢 I didn't think Cherry Shrimp could attack anything, and thought maybe ghost shrimp were attacking! But two were shaking her pretty violently! I moved pretty suddenly, maybe I tapped the glass, I'm not sure. But then I realized I was actually seeing two (ugly) male Cherry Shrimp mating with the female! My first time seeing it. 🙈 Oh my virgin eyes! 😉 I know I have both sexes now, even though these males weren't ones I would have preferred. 💩

Why does he have a massive filter in a small tank

I have a 10 gallon tank with 50+ blue velvet neocaridina shrimp.

ever use bacter AE

Use tap water

can cherry shrimp be used for sushi

I was hoping they would stop breeding considering I have 30 in a 6.6 long tank but I saw that I now have 5 shrimp with eggs and I also have a 2.5 gallon with 40 baby shrimp that I was supposed to put with them since I didn’t think they’d breed anymore so now I have to get a bigger tank 😭

why you have a green screen

I have well water, no chlorine or chloramines.

Car i din a...…...not, car i di nia

just realized that thats not his background

its not cardinia, its caridina.

Set up is two words.

Poor English title, poor grammar. Geez!
