Kelvin is not only a great breeder but a great person as well. Every time I'm in Singapore I visit his shop. Thankyou Shrimp Mania for the video and sharing Kelvin's shop. :)
Thank you leon, this video is great because of you. You are very professional and you do very good job. It’s an honour to be part of your RUclips channel 🙏🏻
These shrimps are next level, in Europe Kevin works with Yukishrimp, they got all his assortiment and can provide them for a fair price. Owner of yukishrimp has been trained and working with Kevin for years, he is a true master breeder. I am expecting them in a few weeks, cant wait! Also Yuki has the perfect food and is always willing to advise on setup.
What I found most interesting is when Kevin talked about the giant tank at the last part of the video. Firstly, he is testing Jun Master soil with some success. It's decently cheap in Singapore, I might use it for my future tank. Secondly, he's using UGF connected to a canister filter, that's a novel idea! Gonna need to head down to his store one day and talk to him about this setup.
Honestly, this is one amazing video, ill never get a chance to visit sg in my life but living through your awesome video footage and interviews is great. These are very hugh quality shrimp, in canada we are many years behind in high end shrinp. Great work and cant wait till yoyr next videos
@@nchn8198 Hey, I don't use Slog it's too much hassle to colour grade, you can if you know how to do it. I simply use a standard profile. When you film shrimp try to use a lot of light, adding some extra light is always good! F stops as high as possible 7-9 is ok to have more focus area. ISO is as low as possible below 2000. Sutter speed should be double your frame rate 50 for 25 fps, 60 for 30 and so on
@@ShrimpMania Check this out, since I watched this video, I found a supplier and ordered that TM-1 nutrient solution, because I was curious to see if it worked, and I have some crystal reds that I feel should be breeding but aren't. It came in the mail yesterday and I dosed it, and tonight there is a berried female, where there were none. Never would have bought it had Mr. Wong not said it worked, and I'm thinking that it does, or else that's one heck of a coincidence.
Wow I fell in love with the black fancy’s 😍 he definitely has the best quality shrimp in the world! 🫡🏆🙌🏾 love his products as well, food and bacteria powder are loved by my ocean blues! 🙏🏾🙌🏾😏
Not really. A female shrimp, at her prime breeding age, molts about once a month. Right after molting, at her most vulnerable condition, it's the only time a male has a chance of mating her. With 50:5 ratio, a male mates every three days in average. Do you know how long the act actually lasts? - about two second!
I am curious about his bacterial powder, lubao feeder bags, recipe and process.... Seems like the food he uses works great and doesn't foul the water. @12:40 Anyone have tips on the food?
Holy crap! Didn’t know that there were sooo many different varieties and grades in them. A good know video…, I used to wonder why my fish 🐟 die fast in my tank
As light is important for a green wall, please ask breeders what's important. Lumen vs liters, color (Kelvin), amount of PAR, hours of lighting. Thnx. 🙂
Nice video, I live in Portugal and I've been trying to get some Boa shrimp and others that are a little different but I can't, does anyone know stores in Europe where I can buy them?
Okay wait so tds 100-120and a gh of 4?? For all of the tanks? I am so lost when it comes to these 😅 I’ve got my tds to about 160 and maybe a gh of 6? Looking to start with crystal red shrimp but still waiting on my walls to get a bit greener.
@@ShrimpManiayes this is an interesting subject. Wondering if you discussed this with Kelvin further. He must be “nervous” (for lack of a better word) that his ADA supply is running out. He even mentions mixing new with old to try to extend that. He mentioned one other soil, but did he discuss with you his thoughts on this and testing other soils or what he thinks he will do?
@@SimplyAquaticCT It is 16-35, if you buy it make sure you get Mark II, it has a closer focus distance that works way better to film the shrimp. I just upgraded from Mark 1 and it's a huge difference for me
@@ShrimpMania Ah okay that's the secret, I still have the MK1 and it just doesn't deliver the same results. I'm also considering the 90mm Macro however for the close ups 😬
@@SimplyAquaticCT Mark I still work ok, I did a Shrimps Affair video with it and it was ok for vloging and filming shrimp at the same time. But that 5cm shorter distance on Mark II gives you a better result. Yes, I used 90mm for macro. In this video Kelvin also filmed his shrimp with his Canon 100mm macro lens, I think it does a better job than sony 90mm, the orange boas macros made on the canon and they look very sharp and it can get a bit closer
@@ShrimpMania amazing, thanks for sharing the info! I have also used the canon 100mm a few years ago and it's a fantastic lens, but like you I'm a sony guy 😬😄
Those are some expensive shrips! I googled that they live for about 1-2 years... So I guess the most bang for your buck is to have them to breed and sell?
@@ShrimpMania just stumbled on this hobby ha. Curious.. the female shrimp’s lifespan would shorten each birth? Which also means they don’t usually live as long as expected?
I had a caridina and it only lasted me for about 5 days ? But my neos are okay I don’t get it do I need to supplement the water colum or something g to lower the PH?
Why do people keep shrimp? and why are they so expensive? genuinely interested. I keep fish, and have recently adopted a shrimp tank from someone....I just can't understand why people keep them! thanks xx
A friend of mine once asked me almost the same question except she substituted fish for shrimp, she genuinely couldn’t understand why anyone would keek fish
@@damionevandomselaar8131 short answer no. You can get some ugly shrimp in fist generation when you mix simple caridina with shadow caridina (high end) like galaxy with crystal shrimp for example but you might be lucky to have a decent looking shrimp from that
So when he sells them does he only sell males so the customer can't breed them? He said that every tank is setup 9 to 1 female to male ratio so he would have an excess of males he doesn't need.
You know it's a good day when Shrimp Mania drops a new video
😊👍
Don’t think you should be happy your just a normal shrimp your gonna be my dinner

Thank you Ray, glad you liked it! Yes, Kelvin's shrimp are on another level, very professional breeder!
@@ShrimpMania amazing, I follow him on ig. Thx for the great shrimp mania content!!
Those are all beautiful!
Kelvin: "You should see my home".
Everyone: "Yes, please".
Great content as usual shrimp mania ❤. Amazing shrimp store ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it, buddy!
Cool video! Been starting something up myself
Cool video
Great video , fantastic breeder
All of them are great, but some of those strains are amazing!!!
I never knew there were that many cool shrimps
Kelvin is the king of the Boa ❤
Indeed!
Great video! What I like most is your Sony GM16-35 lense. so clear so superb!
Thanks, it's awesome lens indeed after I upgraded to GM II it became even better!
@@ShrimpMania would you be able to share your sony camera settings? I am learning to take videos with my A7C. Do you use SLOG?

Incredible colors.
3:05 when the babies grow up, you don't want the ugly ones to remain in the breeding tank. LOL i felt that.. 😂😔
wow awesome video
Thank you sir
This was a good video
Insane to think how expensive all those shrimp are. I almost lost a colony of Jade greens and lost my shit, couldn't imagine having these guys.
Kelvin's low grades are my high grades
True for me as well😂

I love the stardust shrimp bro
Dude great video! U ask a lot of questions we want answers to. Keep up the good work. What’s next??? 🤔
Glad you enjoyed Mario! Next? Hmm..will probably do some boring stuff in the shrimp room
Wow I fell in love with the black fancy’s 😍 he definitely has the best quality shrimp in the world! 🫡🏆🙌🏾 love his products as well, food and bacteria powder are loved by my ocean blues! 🙏🏾🙌🏾😏
breeding ratio? uhh 5 males, 50 females. those 5 male shrimp the luckiest mf's

He's a master breeder and a master baiter.......
Would like to see a video and seed shrimp Ostracods. If they are good or bad to have an a tank.
I'm excited and my wallet is crying.
Just remember shrimp are amazing
Awesome
Do TB Shrimp next!!!
What parameters, substrate and mineral is good for boas?
As light is important for a green wall, please ask breeders what's important. Lumen vs liters, color (Kelvin), amount of PAR, hours of lighting. Thnx. 🙂
Can you please go to madshrimp I went there and it was very fun
Maybe next time
@8:58 were you talking about SCUDS? please clarify, thank you
Who will buy it by the way? Even money is there I won't
Btw love the video❤
Nice video, I live in Portugal and I've been trying to get some Boa shrimp and others that are a little different but I can't, does anyone know stores in Europe where I can buy them?

So do you like eat it? Or keep it as a pet?
Need this answer what’s the difference between these and the store bought ones
They've gotta be pets....no way I'm paying hundreds of dollars for 3 prawns 😅😂

Bro out here trying to bred perfect 6 iv Pokemon.
That's s good investment

amazing. so what soil is best to get now for Caridina? thx
Not many choices now. Ada if you still can find it
@@ShrimpMania sadly i cant find it here in Australia. Is there anything else as i was hoping to get into the Caridina shrimp hobby. Thx
@@its_elser Yes if you are in the US you can use Brightwell soil. I heard it can lower pgh to 5.5. I'd love to try it but it's not available here

Are they pets or can be eaten? Do they taste better. How long do they live as pets?
What’s the name of the bacteria powder

Do you know anyone who sells Caridina shrimp like that in the UK/Europe?
Message to Kelvin, he can export to Europe

Up to $500 per shrimp (not even a breeding pair?) - who knew? Or as we used to say as kids, go fish :)

Were they in the same tank?
Caridina need very different waterparameters.
How do they taste
What temp should the water be fir shrimp?
Just enough to cook it 😋
Is chiller is important for keeping caridina varieties?
Yes, If its too hot in your room
