Do you keep Bamboo Shrimp? If yes, what tank mates do you keep with them?

Honestly i thought my shrimp died when i first added her because she didn't move for 3 days, now she is nice and healthy though. This is probably the highest quality bamboo shrimp video on KZfaq, really impressed!

Hi I had one in a tank, never saw him till I cleaned out my filter 6 months later, and 2 came out. Sooo overjoyed. I placed them back into filter and they are doing well, 3 inches long.

Personally, I find keeping my panda shrimp away from my bamboo shrimp very hard. On a more serious note, great footage and narration dude.top notch.

I saw one at a fish store and it was hanging off a plastic scuba diver flouting thingy

thanks for the video!! ive been curious about these cute little guys, i've been thinking about starting an aquarium, and i'm happy to know about what they need.

Thank you. I just bought a Bamboo Shrimp to try with my Australian Rainbows, amino shrimp & small Goldie Pleco. I've got lots of java fern & drift wood

I really want to get some bamboo shrimp. I've got hundreds of (blue) neocaradina and a few Amano's and love them, but I've never found bamboos in a store. I'm also Canadian (Calgary) and am curious: where did you get yours? I'm just about to set up a few more tanks, and am very eager to try breeding my Amano's and (hopefully) Bamboo as well. I don't normally breed commercially, but I have some Cunning Plans for how to breed the brackish-larva shrimp, and given how basically nobody does that, I could actually recoup some of the (absolutely absurd) amount I've spent at the LFS. Love your content!

Very cool 😎 Can you make a similar video about vampire shrimp? I am enjoying learning about the world of shrimp keeping. 👍🏼

Always wanted to be thaught by Kermit about aquariums!

I had a few with my tiger barbs and they lived to almost 4 years but one day they passed away, they were in a 55 g tank

This is a lovely video and full of detail. Do the Amaro yamato shrimp reproduce in fresh water, just their young cant survive? Is that how the Bamboo shrimp can feed on the tiny larvae (sorry if l have used the wrong terminology). I have a 110 litre tank that l have set up, would love to eventually put in a couple of Bamboo shrimps, l will get a few yamato shrimp to help the tank mature before the Bamboo shrimp come on board. Your videos are very inspiring, the scenes of your tanks are stunning.❤

FYI: Last year, we had a big power shortage here in Montreal, Canada. At my house it lasted 4 days. I wasn't equipped to keep my tank warm. Over those four days, the water temperature just kept getting lower a lower. It went from a normal 26c (78.8f) to a brutal 12c degrees (53.6F), When the power came back and the water slowly warmed up, I noticed my male bamboo was alive but upside down, he couldn't stay up side up even after I gave him some help. I suppose his air bladder was shut. I had to euthanize him. My female bamboo survived a year after that. Anyways, this was my experience,…

I feed my ones bacter ae would is that ok or would u recommend the shrimp baby too

Strangely, Petsmart called bamboo shrimp rock shrimp so I researched rock shrimp and I could only find some Atlantic shrimp that people eat. But since I discovered your videos, I learned that those shrimp are bamboo shrimp!

Can this shrimp be combined with molly fish?

Hi! i would like to know how to breed them, dont see any video on youtube, just one mentioned that need it to be on salt water but i dont know if it is true or not.. T_T if you know how they breed plz tell me ^^

i think i have one in my tank, i bought 20 mixed "ugly" neocaridina chrimp so all the mixed bred ones. one of them was much bigget and brown with a distinct line down the middle. he spends most of the time in my java ferns but after watching this video, im certain its a bamboo shrimp lol

What are your thoughts on Pygmy sparkling gourami with bamboo shrimp?

I started with 2 Bamboo shrimp., add 4 more, about 1 year ago. Tank makes on start, Blue Navy Shrimp 30, 3 Vampire shrimp, Microcraps 20, Almano Shrimp 10, Hillsream Loaches 1, Whiptail Catfish 1, Group Glass Bloodfin Tetra 7. I lost one Bamboo shrimp, possibly no enough stream flow in water when try fit this a long time. I change all to time my filters until find food one for Bamboo shrimp (combine Big sponge filter with Aquael 1000, 2000 or Mini, depance tank size) Also where flow goes is important. These shimps dont want spend time in bottom of tank all to time,. Have a plants where leaf move and can take strong flow and hold shrimps weight in flowing water. Tank got huge iron wood, where is big tunnels. So Shrimps can disappear for month. Thats why u better buy many, or u wont see them much. They require own hiding place and time, but not that much as vampire shrimps. Now after one year i lose: Whiptail Catfish. Because cant put that much food there than this one needs or water values not going to be good for this shrimp of there is that much food. Lose all Microcraps. They possibly just not live long and they fear other biger tankmates, so they wont get enough food. Next Microcrap tank with be own tank just for them. Blue navy shrimp i got maybe 400 there now, it depence how much i put food there. My Vampire shirmps has change them skin color looks same as Bamboo shrimp. I cant know anymore always who is bamboo shrimp and who vampire. Vampires who was Blue and white when i buy them. Now they are same color with bamboo shrimp, but no line on top. I use black bottom material what is for shrimp tank. No sand... or is but it fell on bottom. No stones first, but add small dragonstones later to hold flat stones for Hillstream Loache. Seems bamboo shrimps like to eat food from flat stone before bottom. Lot of floating plants keep water parameters for shrimp. Need remove handful of floating plants weekly it basicly clean possibly toxins from water same time. I dont make much big water changes. Mostly 2% water change in week. So no one big change at the once. Example change some litter water when remove floating plants. Moss in important (got 3 firrefents types), and Bamboo shrimp like to play moss balls. No small plants on bottom. Only long one what grow from bottom and reach on surface, but now go over surface. Got also some cups aquarium sides, where grow small plants and moss they can be places too for bamboo shrimp to grap food from flow. Feed daily before dark once. many kind of shrimp foods, always green food and some kind of food where is miners for them. And some kind of tetra food. Feed sometimes frozen food, like Frozen artemia, frozen microworms, defnia (crash them well and mix on waterflow). Important to have dimmer light. Do not use bright light or never 100% power of it. It will kill them specially if you dont have floating plants cover on surface. They wont eat if too much fake light. Nature light Balboo shrimp not avoid, but sure i dont use direct sunlight like no one should. Now i looking help how i gonna breed them. My Bamboo females got manytimes a lot eggs under them. Dont know should i move eggy shimp into brackish water tank. I fear that female wont survive from that parameters change and dont want lose these now at least Year old Bamboo or Vampire shrimps.

Can these help clear green water? All my parameters are in line for these guys, but for some reason which no one has been able to figure out, everyone who tries to start a tank where I live ends up with green water to one degree or another. We are told it is just a diatomaceous algae bloom, that it's nothing to worry about, and that you can safely drink the water. We tell the city that it's not a matter of whether we can drink the water, it's a matter of if we can keep our aquariums clear, and they just say that it's beyond them, and not something that concerns them. So, are bamboo shrimp critters who could help get rid of the greenish micro-organisms which we end up seeing within a few days after putting our water out to dechlorinate?

Dude my bamboo has been in my tank for like 10 days and it barely moves. It doesnt use its net hands. It sits almost frozen. I have like no current in the tank. But it will move.. it's weird. I dont know what to do.
