Like this if it’s 1am

I mixed blue and yellow cherry shrimp and ended up with red, orange, green, bronze, brown and clear shrimp. I’m actually getting more clear shrimp than brown at the moment.

Never change brother, I’ve always loved the fish hobby but when I joined the Marine Corps I obviously couldn’t keep fish.. haha while I was in the military I would watch your videos for my “fish fix” and also as an escape during my tougher times. Since I have been back home I have dived back into the hobby and I have been using your info to help with project ideas like this! I will ALWAYS follow your journey, I know the sky is the limit for you and thanks for what you do!

Im a shrimp breeder. It will first start throwing random brown and blue branch (different mutations, shades and grades) snd after some time, youll end up with wild ones. Thats why we dont do much crossbreeding. Its like pallet. If u mix all the separated colors back together, u get wild (brownich clear) Amazing vid tho! Thanks for all your smazing work! Keep it up

For neocaridinas they probably will go brown over time, but caridinas are a different story, you can get heaps of cool lines from mixing them.

Can’t wait for the update!! The blue/yellow tank is the Swedish tank💙💛

One thing I noticed with all my neocaridina davidi shrimp is that at temps greater than 25C produce males about 70% of the time. The cooler temps like 22C produce loads of females but they do take longer to grow.

I started with 7 reds and 1 brown. Over about 4 months, I let them do their thing. I cleared them out a couple weeks ago. I had all of the colors in the rainbow. There were more wild browns than nice colors.. But there were many good looking colored shrimp.

Such a simple setup, awaiting more updates to see how it pans out. I'm currently doing something similar in our greenhouse, mainly started as a backup for plants, but I've added ramshorn snails to see if they could survive, which they do. If I could add shrimp as well, that would be great, but my colonies are still growing.

I feel like this may need to be said for the new people in the hobby. Tap water works well depending on the perimeters. I live in the rockies in the actual mountains. My tap water has way to may minerals and has way way way too high PH for shrimps. That’s probably the only big thing to watch out for in such a simple setup

I cannot express in words how cool this is

I have done the same color mixes with my shrimp. No fish in the tank. they do mostly turn brown or back but you do get some cool tiger patterns to come out and if you keep going the color starts to slowly reintroduce. I didn't keep the tank up and running for too long though due to a move so I am excited to see your future results!

With mixing colors, the first generation babies will mostly (if not all, well for the ones that cross breed) be brown, Because the color genes are separate. But in future generations a small portion of the babies will be a mixed color, then some will be one color, some the other and a good portion will be brown. The colors in these shrimp are all recessive, not sure if it's simple recessive (one gene like albinism in most species) or multi gene recessive (like noses in humans). Your results will be all over the place depending on what heterozygous (hidden) traits the starter shrimp might have too.

I mixed red cherries and black and I get really cool greens,chocolate, and maroon. I love it.

because its above the waterline you could drill two small holes and use cable ties to fix the plants to the side for more stability

Awesome video nick! A nice little project you have going on there. I'm super excited to see more update videos regarding this project. Thanks for sharing mate ☺️

I've been waiting for this! Do more things that can be bred in bins man thank you

I chucked all types of neo shrimp in my take and they made some cool babies .. like tiger shrimp and all diff colors

I've had some breeding for awhile, you only get brown when multiple different colors mix over several generations. I've had some blues and reds mix to create some with a purplish hue to it but you can clearly see the differences in blue and red upon closer looks, even managed to have a few mature females who were a darker green with an orange hue to them.

I used to grow a lot of dwarf sag using an outdoor set up i added some neo shrimp to them and it was one of my profitable project i had

i dont even have an aquarium but i keep coming back to this channel, so finally im subbed now lol i really wanna try keeping shrimp they're so cute

Loved this video. Always looking for inexpensive ways to keep fish.

You are amazing and you've inspired me to go out of my comfort zone thank you!!

I’ve had mixed some blues with my reds and there was mostly brown for a while but I’ve gotten some orange ones now and some cool looking like almost ghost looking ones too and now I’m starting to see blues now again lol 😂 fun fun

Blue and yellow make green with paint. Can't wait to find out. Best of luck to you.

That rainbowfish shirt is very cute!

So cool, I love this project! I can't wait to see what happens. Thanks dude!

I hve cherry shrimps but never tried to breed them because i though it hard to do so,now i can try with this setup. Thanks

This is the best fishkeeping channel. Love from Asia ❤️

Really enjoy your love of experimentation

yay Pothos! I started adding Pothos to my tanks and i couldn't be happier with the results. I didn't want a janky look so i made something to do it call the Poth-O-Carry :D I thought it was pretty clever. lol

Love ❤️ this. I have really learned a lot watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

Such a great tutorial. Love your videos.

Soooo I’m about to buy like 5 bins 🤞🤞

I had no idea tiny shrimp come in so many colors. How cool!

Hey mate, something you can feed the shrimp with is eucalyptus leaves from gum trees. I use it for shrimp traps

love watching your videos and always inspiring keep going.

Nice low cost innovative thinking, great summer project, too!

I mixed some blues and reds and got some interesting color morphs. I had varying colors of the blues and reds and I had quite a few rili in both colors start to come out. I did get some browns and clears. I even got a few almost jet black. The most interesting color morph I got was kind of a blue rili with red tipped claws. I only got 2-3 of them though. I would have loved to see that come out as an actual strain.

What an awesome idea! Thanx for sharing!

Ha! I'm looking for follow up videos. It's only been a few weeks. Ty for sharing this. When people say, they breed like mice, shrimp say hold my beer.

Great idea!! Think I’ll try this with Crystal reds when I move to FL in a few months

I love success stories! Well done!

Friendly suggestion: You can also use air lines, run some metal wires through it and you can adjust the length/shape to hold the plants which you can hang it on the side.

Super cool project! I've been waiting on this video since you did a fishroom tour not too long ago and mentioned them! Are you going to add in any more cherry shrimp or just leave it with how many you have left?

Great project!

super kool project. Thank you Sir for sharing. 💕💕💕

I love the tips on here!!

I like you free style of thought about the browns. Id love to breed shrimps. Cherrs

I can’t wait for another update on this

Your literally living my dream bro haha, your videos are also very informational

Now thats what we call KeepingShrimpSimple🤣🤣🤣 do more shrimps please

Neocaridina are highly tolerant to low temperatures, mines are outside in a 90L bin for about two months now, and water temperature was below 10°C during day time. Night are still cold here, about 12°C last night. Sure, shrimps are not very active and not breeding yet, but they stay alive.

This feature is a blessing. You don't even need to be streaming now :p

Very cool you'd already waited a month, so we got like a bonus immediate update! Thanks... great idea for interesting videos, imo ;)

Always like your content! Great video!

I have a cull tank with all kinds of colours mixed together. They wont all be wildtype. But also do not expect to get half red , half blue. I got some blue ones with red spots. Most of them will be some variety of wild type.

Saving this to watch later your vids are dope!

That's amazing 👏

Looking forward to update.

I usually end up with clear ones when I breed... Curiosly these clear ones tend to change color depending upon lighting of the tank... Also if your original color was red then the kids of some of the clear or brown ones become red again... From breeding just blue you can get jet black ones..

You have opened a whole new world for me with your tub breeding lol There’s NO WAY my fiancée can say no to new tubs like she can new tanks!

I love what you're doing and only twenty right? Amazing. The next George 12G but the down under version for freshwater!

I accidentally did similar in the UK over winter, and then the cherry shrimps survived and reproduced.

For the most part the shrimp take care of the calcium by eating their shells after molting also. Great vid btw

I'm curious what kind of parameters you have coming out of the tap. Great video.

I really enjoy the content. ty

Neat..use a floating feeding ring for plants

Love it

Im thinking about growing aquatic plants in a bath now.....difficult to source cold water pond/aquarium plants here in lreland..

I would like to give you a slight correction, you need one last equipment and that is a basic light for the live plants because the bin is not gonna be outside for obvious reasons but plants still do need light.

As someone who has had a few mixed tanks before with these guys, I've only gotten brown a few times. Most of the time, I'd get one, or the other, or something crazy. I've gotten some light blue ones with patches of red. I've gotten what looked like a red rilli but with light clear blue stripes instead of the clear or white stripes. It's surprising how often I got the clear striped rillis thinking back on it. I even got an orange rilli born to a group that were orange sakura. Either it's a pattern that commonly develops on it's own or it just means my stock was interbred beforehand quite a bit. No doubt, I'm sure you'll get some crazy combos but it's a shame they won't be in a clear tank. It'll be hard to see something as subtle as maybe a blue velvet rilli or something dark like that. But I'd usually put more colorful ones back in the original skittles mix I had so wild types wouldn't be able to keep coming out. You might want to add in more red and blues later if you still want to keep interest without worrying about too many wild types showing up down the line.

wow thats nice bro greetings from fishtuber also in philippines.

I have been using styrofoam box for breeding fishes, now I am transitioning myself to shrimp. Gonna use those boxes for the shrimps now :D

I look forward to seeing more I enjoyed your video 🤗

keep up the good work 👍

Just subscribed to your channel. Awesome video and instructions. I will try this for fun. 💯 👍😁👍

Awesome video keep up the great work and great vids :)

Every kid knows when you mix your red paint with your blue paint you get purple shrimp babies! Same with blue paint & yellow paint, gives you green shrimp babies. Personally, I’m hoping for some stripes, or at least a respectable camo pattern 😜 But seriously, this is an interesting experiment, i’ll be following to see what you end up with.

Thanks for the info never tried owning shrimp thinking it be hard to keep

Thanks for the vid

I recently found your channel and am super hooked! I don’t know if you’ve made a video on this before, but do you have any advice on breeding Pygmy Corydoras?

An airline holder works well to hold pothos to the side of a tub or tank. 👍❤👍

I know it would take 6 months to make the video but I thought we would see the results here by the title

I’m defending going to try this out 🤝

There are breeding guides online that tell you the color to mix to get the desired results.

You’ll end up with some rilis from the red and blues. I’ve did the same experiment!! Good luck

Enjoy your experiments!

Been waiting on this video huge fan plzz respond love it

I enjoyed the video my young Aussie friend ( might be wrong... ) ! Have never seen those colored shrimp before... awesome! Saw that you used conditioner in the h20, in the 70's when I was a kid, we used to put it in the sun for a week and always used a bubbler or screen wheel ( ez to make w/ one battery that matches motor voltage/amperage) to agitate and induce 0² for them to breathe ( fresh water anything )... for Texas Gulf shrimp, you HAD better start with sea water... or you had mush shortly thereafter. Appreciate your content young man, thank you for sharing it with old guys like me! KUDO'S sir! Seth

i think living dark environment help for color breeding , amazing video and gl

Shrimp hate change. Perfect project for someone who wants to breed but doesn’t have a lot of time!

I mixed blue and yelow had green and few browns

Yellow and blue the colours of Ukraine.🙏 Great experiment! With love from the netherlands

I added green and blue shrimp and ended up with transparent shrimp and some blue shrimp 🔥

Great video! I currently have a 3 gallon with yellow and blue neos only and no fish and once in a while they had yellow or blue babies but most of them ended up wild type neos (mostly clear and some brown but I thought the brown was cool)

I wounder if it will turn into a skittles bin? like Mark Shelly's. I have some blue dreams that bread and I have a wild shrimp that came out. It is spotted brown on a clear base. Thanks for the videos.

Amazing. Any update on colors of the babies?

Drill two little wholes and use cable ties or wire to hold plant in place, tape will probably fall off. Can also add a cheap USB air pump.

This is interesting, i have a neglected big container for months with some shrimps and mosses inside. No water filtration, no aeration and they are just keep breeding by itself.
