Got a 10 gallon tank with 10 red cherry shrimp. Activated substrate. Added a lot of plants. No cycling. Added shrimp after 3 days. No deaths after 50 days. 3 Berried females. Can already see eyes in eggs. I'm using spring water that flows through a dam with plenty of fish in it. That water is cycled already. TDS is 50. My question is, the tank is 99% algae free. How do we know that there is enough biofilm for the shrimp to feed on? I can't see any film on the wood or plants.
temperature always a big problem for shrimp in tropical country... they will not reach at 70F... so need air conditioner for room of caridina shrimp tank... but i try to use a peltier cooler just for a 10gals tank... at least, its made my level up to learn about shrimp mineral, cattapa leaves, peat moss for shrimp tank, hydra and other predator of 'em.. so far they are fine... that is true for any tiny creature not exist in cooler tank.. thank you a lot sir... i also feeling guilty if the shrimp loss 1 by 1 in the morning but i will keep learning from you... also... my son whose name is Nathan say thanks to you...
Great video I think that it makes a lot of sense what your saying a little point in the right direction goes along way including parameters and tds so thank you
I love this video, I have had a lot of shrimp deaths that were off and on that, I didn't know why it was happening, but you addressed this along with some other problems I've had.
Those angles would be super cool to watch breed. Plus with the production value of your videos, I think you'd do an amazing job with the whole project. Good luck!
Another great video Nathan and, as was mentioned below, your voice comes over really well and does deliver the points you are making. Unlike that poster though, I can't say I'm a fan of the drumming music at all, for me, it's really distracting.
I have about 50 small ghost shrimp in a tank. They will move to a pond with fancy gold fish. What size they need to reach in order to not be fish food?
I haven’t been bothered by KH and GH. But I only have neos. I have a heater at 72 in my 20L my other tanks have heaters at 78. I wonder if I should remove them?
Thank you for your videos. They are very informational and to the point. I would love to see angelfish breeding and how to make your homemade shrimp food :)
You say you stopped really worrying about Kh/Gh in your tanks, but you didn't say what you did, just that you stopped really chasing them. So how did you overcome this issue if i may ask? i would like to hear more about this and possibly in relation to the TDS ( if possible) ... starting my first tanks with some Neocar's and i can't seem to find solid answers around this, so any help is appreciated, thank you.
Awesome video! Wish i learnt all this before, but through experience bad or good im learning and i take that as a positive experience for this hobby. Please do the angel fish
To simplify this even more guys, i put about 10 cherry shrimp a mix of males and females into a less than 6 gallon tank on my desk. Added Wood, plants and simple plants. I do check water parameters, but as long as they are near i'm happy. I use tap water by the way. TDS around 230 . PH around 7.2. I have a large aquarium with some algae issues on rocks and wood, so i will take a piece out of that tank and place in for my shrimp, they love it. Long story short, within weeks i had 4 buried females and a few weeks later again i now have babies everywhere O_O. They live with rams horn snails and a home bred young bristle nose plec. DIY sponge setup attached to a pat mini filter power head. Oh and a simple lamp from Ikea above. I agree with Nathan, You don't have to spend large amounts of money for success or worry about expensive foods. Anyone that keeps shrimp will know they go crazy for standard fish food as well. All i can advise is patience, let nature have a little time before you keep poking and prodding.
Building the stand my 60g shrimp tank will sit on today. I have two related questions. 1st. I'm planning to put guppies in too, but they need a heated tank. If I set my tank heater to 70, will that be warm enough for the guppies, but cold enough for the shrimp? 2. My room gets down to 60 in the winter, and up to 86 in summer. I have an ac unit, but I dont want to run it all the time. Is there a way to keep the temp from fluctuating so much? I mean like some sort of insulation on the tank or something. I'm obviously using a heater in the winter and a fan or ac in the summer.
I was talking to I would like to see that different side project you have with the plants. I'm starting a few tanks myself, and I'm just trying to get my bearings slow and steady though, right?
Nathan, I finally managed to get one of the small glass dishes to keep the shrimp food together. Is there an easy or simple way to get the food into the dish? I've been trying to add King Shrimp Color granules but I can't get them into the dish.
You can use any sort of tube. I use a short piece of pvc and works just fine. They do make glass tubes you could buy and stick to side of tank but I just use pvc pipe and take it out after use.
can you tell which one is cardinia and which one neocardinia base on name. i have hard time to find which one since neo is more easy to handle for beginer like me
Keeping shrimp are no harder than keeping fish really, except for using RO water and minerals. I actually do less work on my tank now I have turned it into a shrimp tank. I also have 7 ember tetras which leave the shrimp alone completely and my shrimp are breeding really well. I have babies everywhere and berried females also. Just have tonnes of plants and you are all good.
Liked and subbed! Thanks for the content. One question though, how do you keep your substrate from cycling? Wouldn't it naturally cycle eventually and potentially kill the shrimp?
I have an established tank that is 1 year old. I recently purchased two blue velvet shrimp and they are doing fine. I have a well planted tank and I decided to try some cherry shrimp. So, I bought some, drip acclimated them and they seemed to be doing fine. But I’ve had 2 die in the last 3 days and I can’t figure out why. I’m debating whether I should buy kh and gh Kits bc maybe that’s the problem. Any tips?
Great tips as always! Would love to know what were your options and using now to heat your shrimp room?.I have my tanks in the basement and does not have a separate thermostat.
Are angelfish an easy fish for beginners to start breeding? I am interested in breeding fish, but just getting started...so I would be interested in seeing more on that.
Bro please help me.. my tap water tds is 32 ppm.. my neos always die.. how to raise tds to 150 to too.. and im from india.. we dont get mosura tds up here.
I’ve had 7 orange rili shrimp for 4 days now, they’re in a 20 gal long, if anyone has any advice I’d really appreciate it, thanks! And good luck to anyone starting out!
I like the video. Chasing numbers can drive you crazy. Consistency is key. Seeing as you've bred angels b4, I think it would be fine if you are prepared for the outcome. You know what you are getting into & how often they will breed once they start.
Hi, could you make a video to explain how do you fight against the micro fauna (planaria, snails, worms etc...) because in my shrimp tank, there is a huge numbers of snails and other types of micro fauna and I don’t know how to reduce their numbers.
Yes for the angels 👍 Any video you make will be awesome, the music along with your calming voice makes for top-notch vids. You could have been a radio or talk show host with that voice.... hey maybe do podcasts? I listen to podcasts a lot now 😉
hi, Ethan I need your help about one week ago, I did water change to lowering the TDS; then, I faced dead shrimps (2 or 3 per day) I searched for reason; and I noticed my RO unit has problem. the outlet water's TDS was about 100 I solved the problem and did about 15% water change and add liquid bacteria (Herbal and Bacter from Salty Shrimp) but, I'm facing dead shrimps yet and, all dead shrimps are between adults; not babies
Those little crystal red babies are so cute!!!

Getting 10 cherry shrimp this weekend fingers crossed it goes well, they are going into a well established planted 20 gallon long tank!
@Joe K slowly they all died tried again with same result, now breeding cory cats in the tank. Shrimp are really hard for me apparently.
Best of luck to you
What type of water do you have?
Well water that tends to be hard, my local fish guy said that he felt like the shrimp would do well in my water but they died off pretty quickly
Great video. I love all the great tips. Can't wait for next video
I stumbled across your channel and admire the work you do. I know you don't make content anymore, you still earned my sub. :)
Like the video can’t wait for you to add the shrimp
Got my 10 gallon tank setup and cycling. Can’t wait to add shrimp.
temperature always a big problem for shrimp in tropical country... they will not reach at 70F...
so need air conditioner for room of caridina shrimp tank... but i try to use a peltier cooler just for a 10gals tank... at least, its made my level up to learn about shrimp mineral, cattapa leaves, peat moss for shrimp tank, hydra and other predator of 'em.. so far they are fine... that is true for any tiny creature not exist in cooler tank..
thank you a lot sir... i also feeling guilty if the shrimp loss 1 by 1 in the morning but i will keep learning from you...
also... my son whose name is Nathan say thanks to you...
New to the page. Beautiful shrimp. Just added some green jade shrimp to my tank. So far so good !
great video , very instructional , very enjoyable to watch
Great video I think that it makes a lot of sense what your saying a little point in the right direction goes along way including parameters and tds so thank you
I love this video, I have had a lot of shrimp deaths that were off and on that, I didn't know why it was happening, but you addressed this along with some other problems I've had.
I think you should go with nano fish since you've got smaller aqua scale tanks. Like Molly's,Sword tails, guppies, or golden white clouds minnows..
Recent got golden-yellow back and extreme black King Kong babies and I’m in love, love these videos I’ve been able to make my colonies grow so well ❤️
Your shrimp look beautiful!
I definitely love the angelfish. Nice addition to the channel!
Nice setups

Agreed. Most of my tanks cost me under 100 bucks total for all equipment
Thank you!!!
I need help with my neocardina tank great video gonna start bing watching
just b aquatics don't overfeed and change water in little amounts

Fan on the top in summer and a heater to at least 65
@@SooShrimpBreeders cool thanks!
If I get a powerful light for plants, will it bother the shrimp?
No

Yes for angels. I had 10 neocardinia and now 3 months later there's over 70 in 10 gal. What size next? Thanks.
Love, love love your beautiful videos.
20 longs look nice
I dont like angelfish...but others do, and if is something wich u really like I say go for it. 👍

They do and give mischlings

A tds meter would help know how hard or soft your water is
So if I have like Gh 3 and caridina should have like more than 5, I dont have to put eggshells into each waterchange? :D :D
Grrrr....haha
Great tips as always! Would love to know what were your options and using now to heat your shrimp room?.I have my tanks in the basement and does not have a separate thermostat.
What plants did you decide were good for your shrimps?

I've bred them before...they arent hard just take a lot of room to grow out
Great video. Curious about the next project. Yes to the angel fish breeding programme.
I think it would be interesting to see your angelfish breeding project.
Great video! 👍🏻
Bro please help me.. my tap water tds is 32 ppm.. my neos always die.. how to raise tds to 150 to too.. and im from india.. we dont get mosura tds up here.
Please go for the angles it would be super fun watch them
What substrate does you use ?? I’m looking to start a shrimp and betta planted tank.
Ada amazonia
Today I vacuumed my tank and put a lil water back and had one death like a few hours after what could it have Ben please help now I only have three
What lights are you using, I’ve been looking into cfls and led floodlights but I can’t decide.
6400k cfl or sun blaster t5ho 6400k gonna have to switch to led 5k daylights soon
Sweet! Love the tanks!
I’ve had 7 orange rili shrimp for 4 days now, they’re in a 20 gal long, if anyone has any advice I’d really appreciate it, thanks! And good luck to anyone starting out!
I got ,some shrimps with my guppies but honestly don't know what one finds so exciting about them..just aqua-ants

Breed em! Would love to see that.
I love your shrimp room
I don't check the GH or KH I'm only keep eye on the TDS and my tanks always been big colonies
Same it works great
Can you please show how to setup a shrimp tank by actually setting up a new tank and giving its updates and the products used plz.
Soon...very
Hi .Can i ask ,if i use CO2 it's ok for shrimp tank?
I dont use co2
I can see that mate,what if i did?@@SooShrimpBreeders
Do you sell your shrimp ?
Do you sale shrimp ?
Feeding every day is too much. But, once a day is okay 🙃
I noticed I said that too...I meant if the colony is small I don't feed once a day
Yes please show the breeding.
sir which soil is perfect for shrimp ???
I use ada for caridina and anything inert for neocaridina
I loved shrimp but they are too expensive...
Start with cheap ones
Hi, could you make a video to explain how do you fight against the micro fauna (planaria, snails, worms etc...) because in my shrimp tank, there is a huge numbers of snails and other types of micro fauna and I don’t know how to reduce their numbers.
I love shirmp but i not understand about language, please make indonesian 🇮🇩 subtitles
No I've had anglerfish breed and spawn the whole works, trust me stick with shrimp
Yes for the angels 👍 Any video you make will be awesome, the music along with your calming voice makes for top-notch vids. You could have been a radio or talk show host with that voice.... hey maybe do podcasts? I listen to podcasts a lot now 😉
Maybe! I finally started calming down a little.
EAT SHRIMP
This channel is all about subscribing? LOL
No thanks to angel breeding.
What kind of filter is that?? I want one!
What one
If you have the space to breed em yea i would.
