Hello! Did you know I recently released a 97-page book titled The Neocaridina Shrimp Handbook? It covers everything new and experienced hobbyists alike need to know about Neocaridina Shrimp, including Red Cherry Shrimp.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Check it out here 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I really love how you make things sound so simple, even when it's a lot of information you give us. Because just as you said, there was SO MUCH to learn in the beginning, and people behaved like only true experts can have shrimps and no one have ever been new to the hobby.
Well. I watched some of your videos, understood that it probably would turn out well if I got shrimps and I found a woman willing to give me a group of red neocaridina. I did with them as I've learnt to do with fish. I put the bag in my aquarium, after a little while I had some of the aquarium-water into the bags with the shrimps. I waited, then took some more water to the shrimps... After maybe 2-3 hours I let the shrimp-bag open so that they could swim and discover their new home. And yes, they all survived. They have even got better colors now and seem to be very happy. It wasn't that complicated.
I just tried the plopping method with my Blue Velvets and they're doing fine! Thanks for giving me the courage to do it! 💖
Pleasure 💪🏻
Being new to the hobby I totally agree. It stresses us out all the complicated techniques people say that is the only way to do things. I’m doing it all simple and it is working so far. The only thing I think is really important is to be patient and not to add loads of stuff to the tank at once. Add something new every week and watch your tank develop
I could not agree more 👍🏻
I’ve done both methods and have had success. I think the tank they are going into is the key to success.
You're amazing! Don't listen to the online bullies who are just miserable in their own lives. Keep up the videos. I've had fish tanks for a while but finally trying my hand at a shrimp and mystery snail only tank!!! I love it. They're pure entertainment to watch.
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words of support 🫶🏻
i think i have finally figured out what was wrong with my pervious tank now i have some new shrimplets 🎉 all thanks to you from your videos i have gained so much knowledge from your channel thank you
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know 🫶🏻
Sir I am from India and I want to thank you for your beautiful videos. I've been following you since you have 5k subscribers & because of you I have found out my passion about shrimps, currently I have more than 4 varieties of shrimps(more than 100 pieces of shrimps) and I want to make this shrimp keeping hobby to become a full-time shrimp keeper based in the india❤❤❤❤
Hey. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Glad you are finding the videos helpful 👍🏻
Hey are you from bangalore?
If they are cherrys,i just plop and drop never lost one,if they are more sensitive then i acclimate for a hour,All been good to me plus the info on here is spot on.
🫶🏻
Thank you for your honesty!
bro,you are my inspiration,I have 2 neo caridinia shrimp tanks and i take every advice you give us in your videos, my shrimps are absolutely thriving,i wish i could show you my tanks, i live overseas and you have been the reason for my happiness, thank you for everything you do for us,give us more videos❤❤❤
Thank you for your kind words 🫶🏻
This is funny, I was going to search your channel for an acclimation video. I did the "plop & drop" method and didn't have a problem.
I only ever plop and drop 💪🏻
I think everyone needs to find what works for them. Drip acclimating seems to work for me, so long as I don't do it for an extended period of time. For me, 45min to an hour seems to work. I do that because I don't really know what the parameters are from which they came, so, I do like to ease them into it. If I go from one of my tanks to another of my tanks, I just toss them in and away they go. Thanks to you my friend, I have learned a lot and you have specifically helped me in the past with a few questions I have had, so to you I say thanks! I appreciate what you do and what you pass along through your videos.
I've been subbed for probably 6 months now, and you have changed the way I keep shrimp in a great way, thank you
Thanks for the feedback 🫶🏻
Thanks to the knowledge given by you as well as the motivation, I had again tried keeping shrimp a month back and happily a majority of them still survive and are thriving unlike before when I used to lose all the shrimps bought within a week. Keeping making such videos and thanks for helping people like us
Thanks for your kind words and taking the time to share 🫶🏻
Love the way you’re doing it. Keep on keeping on.
🫶🏻
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I only drip acclimated shrimp years ago when I started in the hobby. I can say I have not lost a single neocaradina shrimp from doing it "my way ". If they are healthy, from a reliable source and go into a well established tank, I think they will be A-OK.
GAH, no need for people threaten to unsubscribe over one difference of opinion 😒
🫶🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your insights! You are doing an amazing job to keep things simple.
Pleasure 🙂

Ok so I got some Blue Cherry Shrimp and drip acclimated and they were all good for 3 weeks and slowly died one by one then I got some Red Cherry Shrimp and floated the bag for a bit and put them in and they have been going for 3 weeks now and are getting big and looking so healthy!
So I agree that it’s doesn’t matter which way you introduce them to the tank, they can die possibly from other reasons.
Bro I love your channel and your personality. Your straightforward no bs kinda dude! Keep it real my dude always letting ppl complain they have nothing better to do. You’ll never keep everyone happy. You’re doing great work!💯🤙🏼I’ve learned so much from u man it’s rediculous and I’m grateful for that. 💯👏👍🤙🏼💯
🫶🏻
Love your channel. Thanks for the information on your processes. It has been of great help to me as I enter the world of shrimp keeping. Maybe once my colony is as massive as yours are my nerves will allow me to plop and drop 😂

If I get shrimp from a source where I don't know their exact water parameters, I do drip acclimate for about an hour but I am aware one of the reasons I do that is I like to look at the shrimp on their own for a while before they go in the tank. It is my chance to cull any that I don't want to put in (a supposed black rose that is too red or too blue for example).
I move shrimp between my tanks often and they are plop and drop every time.
Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽
👋🏻
Agree what works for you works for you. I add water from my tank to the carrier the shrimp are in. But it’s like a cup 3 times over a 30 minute period and mine survived no problem
I did the same thing with mine. I'm sure it helped a lot that the local store I bought them from are on the same water system. I didn't test but wouldn't be surprised if the parameters were in the same neighborhood. Worked out great. Shrimp are breeding and active.
👍
💪🏻
I drip acclimated my bloody marys. Put them in a bucket, syphone a little tube of tank water with one knot in the tube and leave for 1 or 2 hours. I have sadly had die off though thats 1 or 2 in a period of 2 weeks which i feel is more to do with stress
I used to drip acclimate then I got shrimp from a new supplier who told me to poke holes in the bag with a pin then float the bag for an hour. Worked perfectly.
Hi. That’s interesting. I have not heard of that technique before. I’m glad it worked well 👍🏻
Great vid once again, do I take out dead shrimp or let the others eat it?
Personally, I fish them out, just in case it was a pest or disease that got them. However, if you leave them, the other shrimp will quickly devour them. Mother Nature doesn’t like to waste anything 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers I guess ill keep it in then, I bought 5 of them al together so theyve been toghether for a long time. I think the others will be happy with some proteins right?
😇
💪🏻
Can you do a video on Matten filter using powerheads instead of air pump?
I’ll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers Thank you! Please keep doing what you have been doing. The world is full of weird people who always hate other people no matter how great and genuine they are.

Lol.. Walk past te tank nd sneeze, u loose half of te colony... 😂😂😂 .. Tat got me bursting.. Richard shrimp thugs.. ..
🤪
haha that opening line is epic bahaha
Hi, I'm from the Philippines and I want to start this hobby. I have a question: is hornwort as good as java moss? Local fishkeepers here don't have access to java moss, but they have plenty of hornwort.
Hi. Hornwort is a great plant. If that’s what you have access to, use it 👍🏻
Hai Richard.. As u suggested,I decide to invest in a Shrimp tank..I got a rimless aquarium... 36cm L*30cm W*30cmH.... Light- Sobo clip on type... Also my LFS agreed to providing me with their water... Going for lava chips as substrate and Java moss nd Xmas moss on coconut shell...some cuttings of weeping moss.. Spider wood..which I might attach the weepin moss cuttings... Sponge filter(the water fall one) .. Pleco caves which are clay based (which I beleive wud help me keep the temp down) Foxtail to cover the top portion... What's ur take on this setup.. Oh btw, shoutout from South India... 🙏
Hi. Sounds like it will be an amazing setup. Would love to hear how it progresses 🤞🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers Thnx Richard..will keep u updated...Jst wondering which substrate works best for Neo shrimps. A close friend of mine suggested lava chips as it can lower ammonia lvls.. Wats ur opinion..?
Hi. So lava chips will lower ammonia, but only because they provide lots of places for beneficial bacteria to live. The same is true of regular gravel. The lava chips themselves do nothing to the water chemistry. They are inert.
I use various different substrates including gravel, sand and Fluval Stratum. Truth be told, the shrimp could not give a monkeys! It makes absolutely no difference to them 👍🏻👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers So basically they don't care regarding substrate they are in ... Considering the fact that lava chips have many small pores for beneficial bacteria to thrive, I might just go with it... Thnx again for the reply..
I plop and drop. I never had a problem.

I was always told that shrimpin ain't easy
Don’t believe everything they tell you 😉
Is the email course still available
I've just set up a small shrimpery as a experiment really
Any help would be greatly appreciated
M
Email course is coming soon 🥳
drip acclimate for 3 hours is already crazy enough, i just do max 1 hour sometimes more because im doing other things or simply playing games. usually i just matched the vessel TDS with tank TDS..unless people bought those expensive caridina, by all means just do the 3,6,9 hours method
Just saw a post asking why do I have algae in my tank? I have my light on for 8 hrs ect. The amount of different advice hurt my head. I think there is alot of white noise when it comes to advice from these communities and alot of helicopter aquarium keepers. My transfer method is to put my shrimp into a bowl and tip some of the aquarium water into the the bowl. Then 5 mins later add them in. Oops 100% success rate so far.
Glad to hear it works. Thanks for sharing 🫶🏻
I do the plop method with my freshwater tanks but I do drip acclimate my salt water tank, maybe it’s because my saltwater tank affects my wallet more 😂
maybe if the parameters of the water in the bag - and the water in your tank - are vastly different , then slower acclimation is more conservative.
Possibly so! However, in my experience of moving many, many shrimp, I have not seen any Ill effects of the plop and drop method. I can only call things as I see them 👍🏻
I was watching a video and %#$&$÷ will the lead weights holding plans down kill my shrimp? Did o just kill 20 more shrimp because of a lead weight?
Depending of course where in the world you live, it is unlikely the lead weights were actually made of lead. Even if they were, it’s unlikely they would kill your fish or shrimp. Back in the good old days, when lead weights WERE made of lead, they never caused any issues.
@@FishKeepingAnswers I look forward to seeing you emails. This was my second attempt at starting a shrimp tank. To increase my odds I started two, a 10 and 5 gal.
I did a dry start on my carpet plants, with dragons stone piled up. Filled the tanks added starter water from my 45gal community tank. Transported stem plants and tel that sit for three weeks. Numbers were all good. Nice bio mass build up, so one again I added the shrimp this time using the drip method. I think the last one died yesterday from inability to molt.
The only thing I can't control is my TDS around 500, however my GH and KH both are in line. They started molting three or so days after being added and the last one made it over a week.
Haters are so unhappy they can’t keep it to themselves 😢.
I'm probably a villain as well, but I have been keeping fish and to a lesser extent shrimp for many years and I've never once drip acclimated any of them. I would guess that I've had near to 100% survival rate.
That's just me, do it any way you want, but as for forums, I've seen posts saying that putting a pair of aquarium tweezers in the water will poison the water.
The point? Some people tend to over complicate things, you just need a little care and common sense for, it's great if you have a degree in science, but you don't need one to have a successful aquarium.
why are people snowflakes threatening to unsub?
🤷🏻♂️
I think a lot of it is padding for time. Most how-to videos make things overly complicated with lots of extra steps and special ingredients or items to make their video look more "pro" and stretch a 5 minute video into a 20 minute video. Then every sees these videos and thinks they have to do it that way because the pros do it that way.
bro this is 2023 why the fuck are you trying to get my to sign up to your free email course that shit is straight out of 2005 guru textbook (this is coming from a fan of your videos)
Honestly, because in the first 2 days, over 500 people have joined and only 1 person has shown an objection. Email courses were popular in 2005 and they still prove popular today. What else can I say?
