I love blue dreams too. I think they are the coolest color among all ❤ thank you for sharing ideas for shrimp keeping😊
My pleasure 😊
really nice vid (finally finished. was interrupted.) i liked hearing and seeing you go about your culling process.
Glad you enjoyed!
for a feller with bad eyes your video quality is spot on
a recent video I did about 10 minutes of it was out of focus and of course I cant see to correct it 😂
Interesting video again, wish I had discovered your channel sooner.
When I started with shrimp, I doubted a lot on what to cull.
I hope your eyes improve soon, must be a hassle as a shrimp keeper.
(Pity that elephants are so damn expensive to maintain😄)
Love your style of video showing exactly how you do things around the shrimp room, talking us through it!
Thank you Amanda 🦐👍
Always a pleasure. Hope all is well. Miss the live streams deeply! Some people in the states call them Blue Diamonds.
Oh wow I thing I got the first batch as blue diamonds I think you just jogged my memory lol
My favorite color, and I missed the stream!! Great video, Mark! Love the new style! I still look for your show!
Thank you BJ stream will be back once I get my eye fixed in a few weeks.
Great content as always! Definitely need one of those nets. Way better then the traditional style.
Beautiful blues! I especially like those brighter ones.
I was thinking that myself after watching the footage how much more the light blues stand out compared to the rest.
Good evening. From US
Hello there!
Thanks Mark 😊 I will be doing my first ever cull on my blue dream tank this coming weekend, I’m pretty excited! And ps thanks for the powdered flake food idea from ages ago it has made a huge difference in my tanks! ❤️
I buy the jelly blue shrimp, love the lighter colour in them, will be buying some darker blue ones this month cause I like a mix
yeah me too. I think I will make them my next neo tank if I cant get them here in Norway.
@@MarksShrimpTanks just found a dragon fly nymph in my shrimp tank 😫 I have squished it but I don’t know enough about them to know if I need to be looking out for more of them, are they like ants for example and a case of when you see one you know there will be more in there? And is there a shrimp safe way of making sure I’m rid of them? Any advice would be great
I also like the jelly blue, but I don't think they are available here where I live. I'm actually lucky I can get any shrimp at all because it's illegal to sell them here on the west coast of Australia, you can have them, but you can't sell them???
I really do believe I have the royal blue dreams your talking about but not sure how to upload photo etc but there really dark blue anyway enjoy your vids keep it up happy shrimps
Thank you Daniel. 🦐
I call the really really dark blue shrimp “blue diamond”. It’s fairly commonly used that I know. Two online stores I buy from in the U.S. use that name and I guess I picked it up from them.
I think you are right, the dumb ass that I am I forgot my first or second ever batch I got of blue neos were actually call blue diamonds. 😂😂😂
Great video
Thanks!
Tbh the light blue ones look more attractive than the very dark ones , they would stand out more.
you are right 👍
I like the Blue Dreams. Mine are breeding like crazy too. I recently saw the first eggs on my Crystal Reds
Exciting times Zwarf !!🦐👍
The main reason I can think of to have 2 tanks of very similar shrimp is for insurance in case something happened to 1 of the colonies. That being said, I do like seeing the different colors.
Yeah I am very lucky in that I have a friend pretty close that we share shrimp with just incase something ever happens.
Very useful vid mark👌🏻.Yep u should change that blue dream tank to some other neo species.I just got orange sunkist shrimp,they look gorgeous on dark substrate specifically black.I feel like for ur other neo tank since u used brown sand i recommend yellow golden back neos or bloody maries
Its already changed, I got about 30 Orange eye tigers in there now and one has had baby shrimp already, it came berried.
@@MarksShrimpTanks lovelllyyyy
Good video shrimp look great
Thank you 😋
I call them Persian Blue
light or dark blue is ok for me, its the annoying red rilli or wild type that keeps popping up in the blue dream tank that ends up in the skittles
As usual, great video. 👍
Thank you mate 🦐👍
Hey Mark, you need to use root tabs instead of a liquid fert 👍
I haver been using the ADA ones in most of my tanks now :)
To me, 'royal' blue would suggest lighter, brighter blue like the shade 'royal blue'. Did that make any sense? How about Midnight?
You know I really didn't think but the very first ever line I put into this tank were called Blue diamonds so that's what they are/were .
you should add lids on tanks. how often u need to top up tanks with ro? brown spots are really common on blue dreams/velvets. having same thing myself.
I cant have lids on my tanks because of my vision problems, any glare or reflected light blinds me.
@@MarksShrimpTanks That's unfortunate, hope u can get ur eyes fixed.
I will, next operation date in 8 weeks.
I love the content. Keep it up!🇺🇸
Thank you Mate!! 🦐
Got some beauties in there 👍
Thank you Mark, I learned a lot from watching your stuff mate. 😍
@Marks Shrimp Tanks thanks man, really appreciate that 👍 I spend a lot of hours and energy pondering neos lol
hello, looking good
Hello, thank you mate. 👍
Great video as always Mark.. may i ask you how i cull my too many snails.. i don't want to kill them yet am also unable to sell them due to not getting out.. i wanted your opinion please.. Thank you and you do look well too.
yeah thats a tough one, I cant kill anything at all so I cant advise you on this, I literally spend hours picking through soil and plants saving even tiny snails 😂
Do you get any issues with increases in nitrate with the powdered food... I tried it for a couple of weeks, I'm not sure if there was a massive increase in biofilm etc, but I did see a nitrate increase, I eased back and nitrates reduced. I think this is a great baby food delivery system, bit I'm not sufficiently experienced to be as bold as you, maybe I should have held my nerve!?! Great video as ever.
oh yes for sure it increases nitrates feeding this way thats why you need the bigger water changes, the neo tanks get 30 %a week.
Do you happen to use rodi water? A person I spoke to said that is what gave them a population boom. My GH is at 8 and my KH is 6 and my ph is at 7.4. Is it even necessary?
isn't a dark blue dream just a blue diamond? i mean... it went from diamonds to velvets (with the lighter color) and then blue dreams seemed to be very high quality velvets. so if you wanted dark blue, that seems like the original starting point.
I think my issue was I had two different types of blue but didnt know it at the time and mixed them together so culling was always going to be harder.
U still sell the low grade? And the ones u put in the mix, u can sell them?
I dont sell any shrimp
@@MarksShrimpTanks you don’t sell any shrimp? Why?
Do you have any blue dreams for sale?!?
Question I'm new to all thux bare with me lol would it not be easier to just take out the best of the best and leave the rest?
Then I would be left with low grade shrimp?
I prefer the lighter blue color, even though they are lower quality. How do you know the difference between a good quality and a poor quality male. I thought all males had less color.
Are these borderline blue diamond? I think I’m seeing a good bit of black and blue on them
you are correct, I think my original batch were blue diamonds and they have been mixed with other batches.
Can I add Blue Dream shrimps with my Red Cherry Shrimp tank? Will they get along as well as water parameter for them are the same?
yes you can mix them .
hey mark
is it ok to mix two different lines of blue dream shrimp from two different sellers in order to breed them ?
may i face any problem ?
no, thats actually a good practice and it keeps lines stronger its what I do here.
Hi Mark, I got a tank with blue dream mix with mix of Cari. Pinto. The blue dream reproduce like crazy and the pinto, not at all. Tank perimeter is for caridinas. Is it because the blue dream colonie is stronger and take over the pinto? I am thinking to split both colonie in different tank. Any advice? Maybe you got a video explaining that. thx
Hello Henri, yes you are correct kinda both sets of shrimp need different parameters to thrive, pinto shrimp are a softwater shrimp, blue dreams are a softwater shimp. what are you using for a substrate and whats your water source?
@@MarksShrimpTanks I use akadama as soil, I am about to change it or add a UDF box with fluval stratum. PH start raising above 6,5. Water source is RO water with SaltyShrimp bee gh+. TDS around 130@140 max. Temp around 72-73. Other perimeter is good.
yeah it could be the akadama is finished thats what it looks like.
Mark, my yellow fire neocaridina tank have one or two dying each day. My gh is 12 and kh is 5. The tds is 300.
I don't know the nitrite and nitrate.
Can you help me what I must do?
Hell Krisman how are you doing water changes? what is your water source? do you use a dechlorinator?
@@MarksShrimpTanks thanks for the reply Mark !
I am doing 10% water change per week and I added powder food like your style.
I have reverse osmosis water so I think I don't need chlorine remover since there is no chlorine
Do you have Bloody Mary Neocaridina shrimp? If not, why?
I dont, never seen them available here for some reason.
hello mark i'm facing an issue
my fire red shrimp are not reaching their maximum size by time
they only reach like half of their maximum size
what that problem can be ?
you need more water changes ether that or your tank is too small mate.
maybe that is because there is no change in genetics as i'm breeding the same colony of shrimp without introducing any new shrimp to it ?
do u sell shrimps at finn?
no
How about calling them midnight dreams instead?
thats a good name. 👍
Maybe I've missed it, but: at what size/age would you consider them culls? I have about 30 red rilis that are 1cm/about 3 weeks old, and some are lacking in colour a bit... Neocaridina reach maturity around 3 to 4 months, if my research is right, so should I give them more time, or start culling?
with neos its a little different, they can color up nicely as they get older, so you would want to remove everything that isnt the main color first and then give the rest a chance to grow, I normally start to cull harder at around 1 cm before they get to breeding size. neos can breed when they are very small.
5 years without adding any new genes and they are still breeding true but the quality is dropping off the past 6 months so setting uo 2 new tanks for the trash and for the best i have
First
Oh well shame about the culls.
I dont kill them
