Awesome video man! I definitely recommend keeping the algae on the glass with a shrimp tank. It grows a ton of biofilm and the babies will need that when they hatch. Keep on shrimpin!
@@Toydvoid9090 best is not to have shrimp with any fish. Betta usually attack them, but at the least the babies or smaller shrimp will be an easy food source for fish.
Nice. I've just setup a shrimp tank, now waiting for the shrink to arrive. Looks like I've done pretty similarly to you, bit of coral, almond leaf, live plants, crossed fingers.
Hey Nick. Greetings from the UK. I absolutely love your videos and binged watched them the last few weeks. :-) Keep up with the great work and content. I have gained a ton of knowledge from you. I used to breed plecos and bettas many years ago and coming back into the hobby. :-) can't wait for your next uploads. I've hit the notification bell and subscribed to your channel also. 🙂
Love the fact that there is an Aussie aquarium channel around RUclips. I am looking forward to many videos, and also would be happy to visit one day bro keep it up
I love watching your video , I just started with this fish keeping hobby and I found your videos very helpful, keep it up sir, and thanks for the tips. Anyway I am from Philippines
Just bought me a bunch of snowballs. Can’t wait to get some babies. Got a 20 gallon tank. Was planing on doing a full on aqua scape but decided not to. Just some dwarf grass and guppy grass will be the plants I use. A sponge filter and a HOB for filtration
I’ve been experimenting with shrimp too lately. I put some in my automatically water changed tanks, my well water is 8, with a hardness of 3-400. My neocaridinas (those ones are my yellow and black colonies) are still breeding though!
I’ve only had some shrimp since late November/ early December. I got them I got 6 for one tank (3 red, 3 black) sadly lost one (red) - those are in blackwater. I got four for the other tank blue ones- two of them turned green next minute I looked today and there’s baby blue shrimp all of my tank! I haven’t had them long enough, nor do I have enough shrimp for it to have supposedly worked, but there you go! The tank is pretty bad for getting full of algae because it’s got a very big strong powerful light for such a small tank. It’s not a nano tank but it is small, so I’ve been keeping the blue light setting on. I don’t know if that’s helping in anyway, but it certainly has helped it not get over run by algae, so I’m wondering if that’s created like peaceful conditions but also made it so the baby shrimp, especially since they are blue, have been able to hide easier. The fish and the micro crabs, as well as the adult shrimp seem to be totally leaving them alone, which is awesome!!
I may try and breed shrimp also ( i also got a decent size spawn from my plecos abt 50=70 eggs useing your tips they worked great keep up the great work! 😀
I stocked my 7 gallon with 6 red and 6 blue velvet on March 18th. April 20th I had two of each berried, meaning pregnant. I just did a head count and Im up to too many too count XD Literally over 100 without a doubt maybe 200, Im moving the best looking to a larger tank this weekend but its so easy to breed these little cuties you should definitely try it
Would you be able to breed neocaridina like blue dream shrimp with caridinas like crystal shrimp not trying to breed the different species together but would the water perameters be close enough for them to breed?
I just bought some rili shrimp last week, and it looks like one of them is already carrying some eggs. I didn't pay attention when first introducing them into the tank, so no idea if she came like that or just got busy right away! I wasn't specifically looking to breed shrimp, so the tank isn't set up for that purpose, but I'll definitely take more if they come along :)
I like your simple setup. A proper breeding tank shouldn't have much stuff in it. No soil means no waste build ups and no hard scape means nothing leacks into the water and change your pH, gh or kh. Even simple rock can slowly change your water parameters and shrimps like stable water parameters.
Hey man I've been looking into starting a shrimp tank in a 8 Liter tank. I'm very new to this so i would really love your input and advice on the type of shrimp I should use, type of plants I should get and the type of nano fish can introduce into the tank with them? Thanks for your help!
I have a question, what fish can go with shrimp without them possibly eating them or other stuff like that? i've been looking for recommendations and i know nothing as im just a beginner and find the hobby interesting but also really hard.
Very small rasbora species like chili rasbora and exclamation point rasboras would be a good choice, but if you're trying to breed shrimps, it's good to have just a shrimp tank with no other fish. You should also introduce you're shrimp first to your set up so they can have some time to build a colony befor you get your fish, so if fish eat shrimps here and there, it won't affect the colony of shrimps.
Neon tetras, small rasbora, lamp eye, stuff like that you’re normally okay with. I’ve currently got baby shrimp in my tank purely accidental. Only had them like a month and only have four in there (as in adult shrimp) so I was pretty shocked. They also live with Thai micro crabs, they all just totally leave it alone which is cool. The advice of guppies? No! Please don’t do that, they eat shrimp like crazy despite the fact that they have a small mouth, so I can understand why people might think that would work, but it definitely doesn’t. I know enough people who learnt their lesson hard with that one! I also wouldn’t do mollies either. I have a similar set up with similar fish, but that’s black Water & the shrimp have not been breeding in that one, but I’m sort of glad the hatchet rasbora are pretty boisterous and I also think the glowlights are in there might have a go at any mini shrimp because they are a little bit bigger then the rest of the small fish I have in either of the tanks with shrimp in.
Hey, was wondering what exactly are you feeding them? Do you have a schedule? Also do you make your own food? Can you share any info? I think if more people learn what to do and when, it will give them a higher success.
Hey man, huge fan! You’ve taught me so much over the past couple weeks and I’d like to thank you. Do you think I could breed ghost shrimp in a 1 gallon tank in small amounts and use a separate container to house the babies in separate water conditions? How could I transfer the mother without too much stress?
@@i.robles5785 Thank you so much! I don’t have that much room for extra tanks so I was looking at smaller sizes. About how small could I go with ghost shrimp?
In your vids I see that you have a ton of duckweed. If you aren’t able to keep your goldfish then you should consider getting some Mbuna cichlids from lake Malawi. Some of the smaller species can go in a 40 gal and they are primarily herbivores.
They’re also good at eating snails once you drop em in. Also it has recently been discovered that there are shell dwelling mbuna cichlids in Lake Malawi. Discovered in October. They could go in a 20 gal pretty easily.

Shrimp will probably my first breeding project....thanks to you!
I love the granite texture on your tank. It has more character than a plain black tank. Looks unique!

Usually just clean 1 panel for viewing
Came to comment the same thing. Great for those days when we miss feeds too
@@SirKingHoff I bet one or two nerites would really love that tank. LOL
I’m getting a shrimp to go in my beta fish tank..is it ok with betas?
@@Toydvoid9090 best is not to have shrimp with any fish.
Betta usually attack them, but at the least the babies or smaller shrimp will be an easy food source for fish.
I’m thinking of adding a shrimp tank in my craft room. Thanks again for another great video with all your knowledge and advice. Have a great day 🙂

Update?
What's a shrink
Shrimp are pain in ass for me they always disappear no clue how or they die and they eat eachother
Mine hide all the time, I bought some neocardina's off of amazon. Most are still alive and thriving but hide way too much haha.
@@Clintscollectiblez
It's as shrimple as that
xdd
Ba-dum-crash!
Hah! Never heard that one before!
7:10 IT HAS A HEART ON IT I LOVEZ IT
I love how the back of the tank turned out. That looks really good. Happy little shrimp 🙂
I haven't watched your videos for sometime now, the production quality and content presentation have improved alot, keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!

Genius with that textured backround im stealing that idea
I laughed a little bit when I realised that you had learnt the proper name for shrimp flaps 😆
Me too! Haha
I love it every time when you say shrimp flaps I get a chuckle. love your videos😊😂
Love the fact that there is an Aussie aquarium channel around RUclips. I am looking forward to many videos, and also would be happy to visit one day bro keep it up
Thanks!
Love your videos. You literally life my dream job!
Hey. MD just mentioned you in his latest. Well done Nick the world is listening.
Great step by step setup. Good job.
I just got my first 20 cherry shrimp and I’m excited!
Love the vids mate it’s class what your teaching us keep up the great work from Ireland 🇮🇪
Also from Ireland, so I second this.

Thanks a ton man. I got the 1 and only neocaradina my petstore had and they haven't had a new shipment for months. Now I know what it 👍
Such a great video! Very informative and useful for beginners!
Oh I saw just now a prior video on how you got started in the business.very cool Nick.

Those snowball shrimp are beautiful.
These snowballs look so cool!
I love it when you say shrimp flaps, l laugh out loud every time, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't stop saying that that's a good one "shrimp flaps"!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Did you do you any water changes in those 30 days?
I'd like to know this too.
I wanna know too
Big fan another great video. What's food do you feed them? They seem to really enjoy it?
Aww theyre like mini amano shrimp. Socute
Love your videos keep your the good work
Well done! This was an entertaining video...
Awesome video mate 👍
Nice.
Could i ask you what type of food give you to your shrimps ?
(the little orange pellet).
Thanks by advance and thanks for your videos.
really great video, thank you!
Nice video,regarts from the Netherlands
Thank for sharing your experient ❤
It's almost about time that I had another one in there so I was stereo planning
400 blue shrimp please 🍤
Do you do water change? How and when
great video! can't wait to see the progress of this colony! so awesome they berried so fast!
Awesome. Thanks for the tips
You are a real expert Nick.Do you do this for a living? You are a great educator and very photogenic too,!
What do you feed them, was wondering what you dropped in for them
I want to set up a rack of 10 gallon tanks for a bunch of different kinds of shrimp soon
I may try and breed shrimp also ( i also got a decent size spawn from my plecos abt 50=70 eggs useing your tips they worked great keep up the great work! 😀

Did you feed them in the first month 🤷🏼♂️✌️🇨🇦
Very nice video. I am looking forward to seeing the results.
Are these fresh water or salt water Is special instructions
I have a recirculating fountain in my tank ecosystem, will adding shrimp kill it?
What a type shrimp you had all of them
Cute shrimp!

What is that white PVC tube? Is that your filter? Is it a water return for sump pump? Or an overflow / drain tube? Maybe a feeding tube?

I just recently got a few snowball shrimp
my 5 neocaridinas are on the way:) golden back yellow shrimp. wish me luck.
Great video! How often/how much were you feeding with only 20 shrimp?
Great video but im curious... why no substrate?
How long do u pre sock the almond leaf ?
Do a video where you breed dwarf or pearl gouramis please!
I really want to start with that fish.
Nice 1 hour gang

Try mollies or guppies, you may also try platies, they're all cool & chillin' with my shrimp in my tank, safe.
Just Create a lots of habitat rocks,plant beds, etc for them to hide. Some will get eaten but will breed enough to still multiply in the tank.
Neon tetras, small rasbora, lamp eye, stuff like that you’re normally okay with. I’ve currently got baby shrimp in my tank purely accidental.

Do you clean your coral from the beach for your shrimp tanks
How do you grow the wisteria on the bottom of the tank under the rock
I'll have to get some snowball's, and then make some shrimp scampi. ( Lol ).
Bro please make a video on finding the difference between male and female in yellow shrimp and other shrimps
You learned what the "shrimp flaps" are called!!
Hey, was wondering what exactly are you feeding them? Do you have a schedule? Also do you make your own food? Can you share any info? I think if more people learn what to do and when, it will give them a higher success.
Did you not cycle the tsnk before putting in the shrimp
Will the shrimp eat the algae on the side of the tank?
Yes
@@ChaitanyaArige Thank you. Better late than never, have a nice christmas and new year :)
If you were to hybridize them, would the hybrids be able to reproduce as well?
I catch my shrimp with a small jar on its side and some bait. Wait a half hour and you got tons.
Hi Nick, a fellow Queenslander, my son and i never miss a show, I have a question, can I buy some of your java moss? I can't find it in your store.
Hi, I know nothing about shrimps but I would like to take care of some someday. Should I put sand at the bottom of the tank ? Thanks :)
awesome video
Love it 😍
What are some good fish for between 25-75 gallons

Do you think I could breed ghost shrimp in a 1 gallon tank in small amounts and use a separate container to house the babies in separate water conditions?

Ghost shrimp are a bigger shrimp and need more than that plus the babies need to be raised in brackish then converted to freshwater I believe
@@i.robles5785 Thank you so much! I don’t have that much room for extra tanks so I was looking at smaller sizes. About how small could I go with ghost shrimp?
@@knorrautocare i would get bigger anyway atleast 5 gallons just to be humane
came back month later? no feeding or water change?
just asking newbie here
does the leaf you left behind would be good for a month?

What is the plant on top? I need those!!!
What's that Leaf you added for them to eat Bro?
How many times do u change the water in the tank in a year?
What are your water change frequency, great vid by the way
When you going to Show your trash can shrimp
And Beta Fry ? (Update)
Snow shrimp nice 👍
Keep a udate on the too mate
You said you had hair algae in there, if you wanted to get rid of it what are the steps you would take to do so?
