Shrimp Tank Setup in 7 Days! Would it work?

Today I'm setting up 2 shrimp tanks with an extremely fast method which only takes 7 days to cycle! Would it really work? Let's find it out!
This unique technique I've got from my friend Darick Koh, a shrimp breeder and aquarium shop owner in Singapore whom I visited earlier this year. All the products I've used in this video are available in his store including his own aquasoil which I'm testing in this video.

I’ve accidentally had little hitch hikers a few times in brand new setups when using established plants and rocks, I was to scared to remove them and put them through more parameter swings! They always made it some how, maybe youth or the fact there was only 1 but I agree with using inexpensive shrimp or culls initially, better safe than sorry! Look forward to seeing your results, the tanks look great. I can’t believe how many different ways there is to set up a shrimp tank… size, soils, bacterias,filters, boxes, built in, ph, gh, lights, times, feeds, fertz! There’s prob 10 choices of each item and every combination 😂

Hey Leon, such a great video! 7 days is amazing! thanks for pointing out that ammonia is less toxic in lower ph, i've heard it a few times but first time seeing it. I'm a little bit weary about 7 days, but i might give it a try as i need to reset a bunch of tanks soon. Did 4 already. Happy to see the golden galaxy/yellow pintos doing well for you, over 50 that's amazing, I had 6 berried in the summer but only 1 baby survived, kinda (later found out the pH was too high) now I have 6 left and moved them to a new tank and hope they'll breed for me. Keep up the great owrk and can't wait till the next update!

Hey Ray, definitely try it, just use a cheap shrimp in the beginning and then you can replace them in a few weeks, that's how I do it now. Good luck with yellow galaxies I hope they'll breed soon.

You can do it and it might help a bit to establish good bacteria but the problem with ADA ver1 is that it leches ammonia quite a lot and you have to wait anyway for this soil to stop leaching ammonia (it can take up to 10 weeks)

Nice video! Regarding the green water soup issue "that you normally never have". And you needed to use uv-sterilisering to get rid with the green floating alge. Could this be one possible drawback with setting up the tank like this. You mentioned throughout the video that you had all along amonia. Maybe amonia is one of the preconditions to be able to get green floating water? I suspect that is one of the contributing factors.. Thanks for the video. 👍

Of course, if you are fine with keeping your shrimp in a higher pH you don't need to use ugf filter and aqua soil at all because their main purpose is to lower your pH. From my experience caridina shrimp don't do well in the high pH that's why I like to use a combination of ugf with ada Amazonia to lower my pH below 6. Bacterial powder is optional but I noticed a huge boost of biofilm and dust algae growth in my tanks when I use it.

@markclayden7654 6 ай бұрын

@@ShrimpMania Thats great, but you should never keep caridina below PH 6.2. Optimal is 6.5 - 6.8. Shrimp shell is made of Calcium Carbonate which reacts to acid, it makes their shell soft which leads to moulting problems and is a sure fire way of opening up your shrimp to potential disease. It also causes infertility problems and lower hatch rates and low reproduction. Keeping Caridina in water lower than PH 6 also decreases their lifespan by up to 50%. I don't know where this worrying trend of trying to keep shrimp in highly acidic water has come from, but NO invertibrates in the wild come from highly acidic water regions because they require calcuim to build their shell.

All my tanks cycled in 3-4 days. Never had to change water in the first time and none of the shrimp die. Ez Pz

I dont see the point if u have to add shrimps bit a bit. I'd better wait untill it's stable and add all the shrimps at once. I only forsee people failing with these professional methods. Only if you have experience can try these way to do it. Otherwise better to be prudent and get stable parameters before adding shrimps.

I hear a lot of things and I really don't know if these informations are true or just a bunch of coincidences/skills. Last one I heard: Adding shrimps, not bit a bit and since day 0. All new... Substrat, water and filter. Only adjusting temperature of waters and shrimps inside. He affirmed that there were no problems. I prefer to go slowly and if I would have some audience, even being very small, I would show this as a professional method and I'll tell to begginers better to be patient. Breeders need to go to the limit but we don't need to go there. Great job bytheway. I'm new, just discovered the Channel since last visit to the breeder. 😉👍🏻

@@FlinJarri I know what said, it's always a bit of risk when you add shrimp earlier but what I noticed that with the shrimp the tank matures a bit quicker and better. In the future, I would just first use a cheap shrimp to cycle the tank and then replace them in a few weeks once the tank fully cycled.

Always loved your channel. Very disappointing to see you following the current trend of promoting these type of irresponsible methods to people who don't know any better.

Well if you have followed my channel for a while you might know that I like to experiment, try different methods and share my results with you so you can draw your conclusion and decide for yourself if you want to repeat it or not. I'm not promoting anything here

hey, I'm a German aquarium KZfaqr and would like to translate it into German based on the example of how you design your breeding tank in this video. Would it be okay with you if I used some footage of you reacting in my video? @Shrimp mania ❤
