40 Gallon Pygmy Corydoras / Blue Dream Shrimp!

5th video in the series. Today we are looking at my 40 gallon breeder tank that houses a colony of Blue Dream Neocaridina Shrimp and 6 Pygmy corydoras.
Up first, the Blue Dreams. These were the best of the best out of my 10 gallon colony. The breed about 90% true as of this video. I cull once a week, but have a hard time finding subpar shrimp!
Next, the Pygmy Corys. Love these guys, so much personality in a small package! They are new to the tank and the fishroom, but they seem to leave the shrimp alone. There will for sure be more in the future. I can't wait!

I love Pygmy corys. They get along great with my red cherry shrimp.

[@beardedbobsfishroom7654]

I have them with Blue Dream shrimp right now, peaceful!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Love the way you do your tanks. They look dead natrual. You can tell your fish and shrimp feel comfortable.

[@beardedbobsfishroom7654]

Thank you! And thanks for watching+

[@andrewgilbert1296]

I just got 10 there today. I'm in isanti, like 35 min away.

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

how is this tank doing?
i have a 20g with pygmy corys and just added some blue shrimp in. so i pretty much have the same exact setup you have.
are your pygmy corys and blue shrimp peacefully breeding???

[@beardedbobsfishroom7654]

Yes! They have both been doing exceptional. The cories have only bred a few times in the past year, and only a few have survived, but I am not doing anything special for the babies. I also added in a colony of Platinum Dumbo guppies to the tank.

[@paulm0573]

Would the Pygmy corys try and eat baby shrimp? Any other fish you can recommend to put together with crystal red shrimp?

[@beardedbobsfishroom7654]

I havent seen them do it, but, take that with a grain of salt.

[@underwaterdrama7330]

How do you feed your Pygmy cories, I haven’t found a videos on how to feed them, only what to feed them, I hardly ever see mines eat so I’m unsure if they’re eating, still alive for months though, so they must be eating something.

[@beardedbobsfishroom7654]

I feed these foods, as well as baby brine shrimp (live and frozen) a few times a week. Mine are very shy too!

[@chriselliott8131]

Hey bob! You answer these comments?

[@beardedbobsfishroom7654]
