Thank you - that was a great interview! Do you know why Kelvin uses a UGF and sponge filter in each tank? It seems like most of the US breeders I've watched videos of will only use a single sponge or matten filter

Do a video on Nanashi shrimp please, I'm having trouble figuring out their genetic.

@John-xn6sn Жыл бұрын

This video makes a lot of sense, thank you for sharing. I do have a question, would you suggest keeping your top shrimp separated and just add new shrimp from other breeders to that tank to increase the chance of getting higher grade shrimp? Or breed and cull more?

How many chillers do you use to keep all your tanks under 23°C ? Or your shrimp room is Air conditioned 24 hrs? Since you live in a hot and humid country?

Is that normal T5 LED tube light that we use for commercial purposes at home...?

Nope, those are T5 high output lights, higher wattage. I believe his are from Aquazonic.

Started this Hobby while back and it feels like im on a Desert Island. No community's here in USA of like minded people... i dont know one person to turn to to ask questions about this subject.. Anyways, fairly sure ive obtained Boa here in US but dont know enough to know for sure myself. Anyone have a suggestion of a Forum or something for this type of thing? pretty sure what i have is what he describes here 7:29 needless to say i bought it for next to nothing when it comes to the hobby.. so im certain its not a pure line, just a chance boa

What pellets do you feed? Do you blanch your spinach?

@ShrimpVault 3 жыл бұрын

Yup! Kelvin blanches his spinach before feeding. Regarding pellet food he uses several varieties, but what’s more important is to never overfeed which he mentions in the video (uneaten food fouls up the water really fast = shrimp deaths) Any generic shrimp pellets should be fine. Personally I prefer the harder varieties that do not crumble easily, I find it lessens the chance of affecting water quality.

@@ShrimpVault great advice and totally agree. I’ve lost so many over the years learning how to do it right. Finally have a stable tank now. Curious, what do you do with your cull or lower grades? Do you put them on the market to sell?

@ShrimpVault 3 жыл бұрын

@@rockdicasbah I think typically most hobbyists sell off their culls. Keeping shrimp is not a cheap hobby and it’s a nice way to sustain one’s hobby.
