In this video I'll be making a killer shrimp aquarium, an aquarium for the invasive gammarid Dikerogammarus villosus. This video shows the creation of the aquarium and explains why the killer shrimp is so invasive.
Enjoy!

The only time I ever got to visit the Netherlands was in 2010 and I got to visit Zandvoort and put my feet in the cold North Sea and find empty razor clam shells on the beach.

I remember going on a fishing trip as a kid and we accidentally left our live bait bucket half way full with some lake water. Many many months later I grabbed for the same bait bucket and only about half an inch of water was left. Inside the water was a handful of massive adults of a same or similar species. They must have had an entire generation breed, grow, and eat each other for those last few to survive. Freaked me out as a kid to see that lol.

I'm glad you said you thought they were kinda cute, because I was starting to feel like I was a little insane for feeling the same. Weirdly, the demon shrimp gave me stronger bug vibes. I mean I get they're all kinda just sea bugs, but like... the killer shrimp scuttling around was legitimately sorta adorable.

It is always fun and inspiring to see your uploads. Have you ever considered adding some sort of movement such as rocking or a current to any of your aquariums to more accurately simulate certain environments? I imagine some organisms depend upon (or at least thrive better within) such conditions, especially sessile ones.

I just found out that someone is using mantis shrimp to make a new camera. If you have heard of the mantis shrimp before, this might seem like a good idea as the mantis shrimp can see a wider range of colors than we can. And just to give perspective, we can see 3 base colors, red, blue and yellow, the mantis shrimp can see 12 base colors. Again, this all seems good and well, and even might get you too think something like ''it would be so amazing to see other colors'', until you stop for a second and realise that even if we make a camera that can see these 12 base colors, we can still only see 3
