Thank you very much! Surprisingly, you can find a lot of good shrimp at a good price on eBay! Check it out

Oh for sure they are neocaridinas!

Thank you!

What should I do? Get thicker plywood?

@@thecallofshrimp Option 1) Cut off the wire. AQUAPRO has your same issue. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8eAe8aBydm-cp8.htmlsi=8xTOjQafmIvSVyjf 2) Remove the wire rack and just place thicker wood there. 3) Cut your wood to fit in-between the width of the two wires you would have cut off. Probably the easiest solution if you don't have a grinder and don't want to spend money. Less aesthetic appeal though. If you're really good with a skill saw you can just cut out a groove there the depth of the wire so you get end to end length.

@@lowellgutknecht6234 thank you so much for the advice my friend

Thank you my kind sir!

It does… I bought a gladiator rack because it has support in the middle so I thought it wouldn’t sag especially with wood added.. how many 2x2 do you use? I think I need to do that.

@@thecallofshrimp I have 3 2x2 on each shelf. 2 from corner to corner and from center to center.. (long ways) the tanks will sit on top of the 2x2...way better support...

Thank you so much!!

Thank you very much for your kindness and support! We really appreciate you and hope we don’t let you down.

Many many thanks 🙏

I will !

Hi there ! Thank you for the reply and I apologize for the late reply! I have been using ada Amazonia for the last 4-5 months. I honestly don’t see any improvements compared to fluval stratum.. although less of my caridinas were dying, I’ve not had any success of the breeding as of yet.. any recommendations?

@@thecallofshrimp Maybe the water temperature or ph is not right

@@thecallofshrimp Your aquarium does not have enough algae, do not remove it, let the algae grow on the glass

@@user-jk4ro1ti3z what’s your temp and ph? I keep mine around 73F and ph is about 5.5-6

@@thecallofshrimp temp76-78F/PH7.2-7.4 your temp and ph too low ,that is why!

Wow thank you so much for your kind words. That really means a lot for us. Thank you.

Wow thank you very much for the feedback and advice. What are your water parameters and I reckon you have a 50 gal? I will also add driftwood today. Do you also boil zucchini or just add raw?

I have an 4ft (63 Gallon / 240L)dedicated tank for 6 of them, my water is 7.2 (they really don't need RO/DI and keeping them at 26c but we moving into autumn so I will soon bump that temp up and have an 2nd heater in. With regards to zucchini, go raw, organic, but if unsure, peal off the skin and use a fork and stake it to keep it at the bottom, do not blanch them cos they do decompose quick, you will notice unfinished one will become mushy, which you must remove next day anyway. if you don't your tank will go slimy and yellow and clog everything. every other day I will throw in algae wafers but they are just not interested and will 99% go for the fresh zucchini @lofshrimp

Wow. Are you a breeder? That’s insane. I may need to move them soon to a bigger aquarium when they are slightly bigger.

I am not a breeder by profession, I breed for the joy, and sell some of the excess to offset some of my fish food, supplies etc.4ft is over kill, my are still juvi, similar size to yours, but they have double in size since I also got them 2 month back too. oh and the one that you showed at around the 4:30m mark, I suspect that one is an male, males are generally bigger, but what is a good tell is that the bristle are all over the nose, compared to females, they generally has them around the lip area, with the odd 1-2 bristles on the top, that is the only indicator , as from my previous experience, I saw all stages of fry stage growing out.@@thecallofshrimp

Thank you so much. No we don’t. We just use Seachem Excel.

Thank you! 🙏

❤️❤️

Thank you very much. It is a custom made 2x4ft frag tank by Poseidon’s Creations.

😂😅 touche!

Dims of my tank? I’m not understanding, like my lights? I’m sorry.

@@thecallofshrimp The dimension of your tank that contains ygb, the width and length of them

Ohhhhh yellow golden backs 😅 I was like what is ygb. It is a 9.5 gal from lyphard. 12x12x16

Thanks for asking! So it really depends on your style and what works for you. Some master breeders do not change water. They just fill the top on the humidity loss with RODI water. Some others do 10-20% change weekly. I just fill the top with RODI water and occasionally add GH+. It really depends on how it works for you.

Thank you for your advice

Some people, including me, like to keep ecosystem style tanks where there is enough plants to hide in and clean the water and enough fry from shrimp and guppies to afford to lose a few to small adult fish in there, this way as the populations will grow it’s less likely to become overstocked. Plus small fish add interest to the aquarium by swimming higher up in the water column than shrimp alone. Of course shrimps alone is best if one wants to have maximum number of them, but that happens in-time as, if the water parameters stay good. They will fill the tank eventually or find a balanced number of populations that do well there.

This. I keep my bloody Marys with guppies. My Bloody Mary population doubled. My tank is full of susswassertang

Okay so I did learn that ammonia isn’t as toxic in low ph environment? Thank you for your suggestions and I had coffee when I made this lol , I’m sorry it felt like a job interview. I’ll try to stay calm next time.

😑😂

Hi there. I am now keeping them under ph of 6, my tds is <120

Thank you for the kind words and support ❤️

@@thecallofshrimp 👌👍🙋

💙💙 we also subscribed to your channel 💙💙

Thank you very much!

Hi I use fluval stratum . Generally the ph is around 6-6.5 and TDS around 120

😂

Why are you laughing sir?? 😂 your baby is so adorable 🥰 🌹

See ya

😂😂😂😂

Thanks mark!

Thank ya!!

That really means a lot. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much, I feed them various of stuff. Pleco wafers, algae wafers, protein powder, shrimp food…

Thank you so much! You’d be surprised.. I use an iPhone 13 Pro cinematic mode with a macro lenses.

@@thecallofshrimp wow, that says a lot about your skill! Great work

@LaurenJacksonlocs29 I’m a newb myself! Thank you very much.

Hey what’s up man, no I don’t use co2 injections. I do use daily Seachem excel. I also don’t do weekly change in the big aquarium but do monthly 25% change. What I do weekly though is top off with RODI to account for humidity loss.

@@thecallofshrimp I also got big tank I’m doing bunch of ferts and co2 so i think i gotta do water changed or I prolly get a lot of algae

@@okan578567 what are you growing in there?

@@thecallofshrimp wish I can show you a pic lol idk much I just got it going on the basics tho

@@okan578567 that’s okay! Basic or whatnot, you have to start somewhere. Do you have any fishes or shrimp?

How old are your Cory and pleco? Are they sexually mature? If yes, You need to feed them heavily , especially high protein for Corydoras everyday. How much flow do you have in your water? Increase your water flow. You have to “condition” them to trigger. Males will start chasing the female frantically until they form a t position. As for plecos, they have to be mature and around 2 years in or so after they show their Bristle . The key for them is to give them a one way caves and a lot of hiding spots

Haha thanks so much, in glad you enjoyed it!

Wow. That really means a lot. Thank you so much for taking your time to give me advice. I will continue to upload video weekly. I have one coming today or tomorrow. I’m really happy you’re watching my videos from India. Cheers!

@@thecallofshrimp ❤️

Thank you so much for taking your time!

Thank you! They are 5.

Thank you so much. As a matter of fact, I am currently cycling ADA version 2. I cannot keep CRS, fancy red, and black galaxy to save my life, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. All the water parameters I checked were fine. My ph is 6.5 and tds is 130. Temp is 73F. Anything you can recommend?? I find dead shrimp daily. Except this tank. My shadow mosuras are thriving in fluval stratum.

@thecallofshrimp oh thays unfortunate. I personally use ada amazonia and dose black extract (humic amd fluvic acid) salt shrimp and bright well makes some. I find under ph 6 helps a lot for fancier caridina. Ada lasts a lot longer than fluval and I find fluval a bit too light for planting. But I've also heard a few people with success with fluval stratum also. Wish you success!! You'll get them breeding

@@RWAquariumPages thank you so much bro. How long do you usually cycle ADA? I’m going to let it cycle for about a month due to ammonia. I’m learning about cation exchange capacity, is this why you’re supplementing humid acid?

@thecallofshrimp anytime. Usually ada for me takes 2 months or a weeks for ammonia to all release. I use humic and fluvic acid for a few reasons but one is it naturally drops the ph safely below 6. Give that a try, I find for caridina I left my ph slip over 6.5 and they stopped breeding. But bam under 6 and they're all breeding like nuts. Even one tank with mix caridina and neo are breeding. Hope that helps

@@RWAquariumPages alright I will have to do that to drop below 6. I think I’ve been cutting corners with fluval stratum. It makes my plants grow healthy but not the caridinas. Thank you my friend. What was your name by the way? I am Jay.

Danke shoen!! Thank you very much

Not yet, I got them about 3 weeks ago and they seem a bit young still. But I do breed peppered Cory and sterbais. I keep them at 73 and they breed when I induce flow or drop temp 2-3 degrees.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much homie

Lmao that’s true I was watching this over and I thought the same, my apologizes. It should be “thriving”. Poor choice of words!

Yooooo! I use WaterDrop G2 RO system with post Remineralization filter.

I like it because it has 1:1 drain ratio, it produces up to 400 GPD and to change the filter, it takes less than a minute.

@@thecallofshrimp will take a look. Thanks!

@@NantThananan absolutely! Sometimes eBay has really good deals, especially from their own waterdrop site on eBay.

Thanks bro and all my neocaridinas live in caridina parameters. Now for the crayfish, I’ve heard that they like to pick on neos. I’m not sure how true that is.

I’m sorry! To answer your questions, yeah bro I have a lot of shrimp! I have shrimp videos and more coming each week.
