Happy Shrimp Keeping ...Mark
Good stuff Mark! I have yet to find a video that is not informative and interesting. Each time I watch your work I will watch it twice, then look at what I am doing as I prepare mine.
I can buy some random Shrimp right now, but I want to hold out for good stock all things in good time. Thank you for all you share with us.
just started my own tank. got cherries in it. thank you for the tips dear sir.
WOW those are some baby shrimp!! you truly are one of the best shrimp keepers on youtube. I learned a lot and i have some baby neos and now im looking into getting some black galaxy shrimp
Awesome video, Mark, as usual. Very simple and to the point. And I agree with you top three very much.
Fantastic videos Mark. I would really love to see a video dedicated on how to feed crystals and taiwan bees :) Your videos definitely remind me of the things sometimes breeders forget.
The No.1 and No. 2, were excellent advice Mark for all aquarium keepers.
Thanks my friend
***** Many people wouldn't think Lighting was that important. But for a Living Food Web, it is No.1.
Awesome video, I haven't seen you channel before. I have wanted to make a shrimp tank and I think that this video has inspired me to start one in the very near future. Thanks for the content, I subscribed!
Hello Cichlid City, thanks for subscribing!
great info mark thank you
excellent video
Great Top 3! Excellent! Thanks for sharing my friend :)
Thanks my friend
Awesome video, thank you for the information!
Glad it was helpful!
Cool videos, beautiful tank, great information! Thank you
Thank you my friend :)
Schön ältere Film von Dir zu schauen Mark 🤪👍
a lot has changed mostly my hair is gone 😂
@@MarksShrimpTanks Mein Haar auch 😂
Haha was not expecting light as number 1 😂 haha I'm going to keep trying till I get it right! Have a good weekend Mark!
I think lights the one we all take for granted but its the most important one on a few different levels.
Take Algae as an example Ive seen studies that suggest Shrimps diet is made up of 70% of the stuff ..No light no photosynthesis no Algae no Shrimp . if you go to an even deeper level that would also include no us.
Awesome thanks Mark, on your large setup, could you tell me how many watts of light do you have per litre, and how long you leave them on over a 24hr period. Thanks
Top tank is 180liters and its has 60watt of LEDs,middle tank is 150 liters and it also has 60 watts of light over it .
whats interesting is the smaller tank will requiring more light because the substrate is black ..black absorbs light .
Nice, thanks for the quick reply, enjoy your weekend Mark
You to my friend :)
hey marky..... got my 6 cherrys a couple days ago n found out one is berryed !!! may have babies soon..... yes!!!
A comment way too late...like 5 years too late...lol. There is much value in this video...to pick just one: water change intervals. I've been over-inclined to concentrate on 10% weekly...perhaps I'm doing more bad, than good. Thanks for your thoughts & instruction...I'm gonna need a notebook to write all this down...lol.
yeah to this day I still do 10% a week in bee shrimp tanks.
Did you start out with CRS and CBS or did ur CRS produce CBS... I would love to have the combo of both but had red that u can mess up the colors if you add CBS to CRS.. THANKS Mark as always great vids...
I just love the look of your tanks mark you do a really great job of them 🤗🤗
Thank you Psyche,I dont know why but You tube keeps on putting your comments in spam jail :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks Grrrrr I'm getting so tired of this ... I feel a you tube rant coming on ..... watch this space
I used to be told the same thing but I have no idea what fixes it .
Marks Shrimp Tanks me neither and I am sick and tired of it happening ... I leave so many comments and I know they all goto spam ... I was told by someone to delete my channel and start again 😱😱 sack that right of
If you run a verified RUclips channel you should be able to comment as much as you like ,I will look into it if I find a fix I will let you know :)
tanks look great and I also like the new channel picture
Thank you Kalem :)
Great video Mark! Thanks for the tips! What substrate is this, that you have in the tank? Greetings from Brazil.
Hello Thico ,That substrate is Akadama :)
ok, thanks Mark. I am glad to hear that. All I can find is the minimal of cycling.
greetings
Welcome my friend :)
Hi Mark.. I love this tank.. great information too. You are the shrimp man!! I have to ask you.. are those little bushes the ones your made with the netting a couple months ago??.. They are growing like crazy!!
The bush in the middel was one of the new ones I made ,Subwassertang grows like crazy for me and I honestly dont know why :D
They are really remarkable. They look so natural like they came that way. I love them! It's your magic touch my friend!
Marks Shrimp Tanks my trident java fern is growing the same way, but mine is growing wild. I have trident java fern in all 5 tanks.
Hi mark, what's that bushy plant called? Love your videos btw! Keep up the great work
Subwassertang my friend :)
Great vid! The hardest part for me when starting off with keeping shrimp was NOT doing weekly water changes or daily feeding. So so tough!
You've got me wanting to do more shrimpy videos now!
YoU should totally do more Shrimp stuff ..you know I will watch :D
haha true! I was busy earlier ranting (in my head) about people keeping different coloured neos together, so i may do a quick vid on basic shrimp husbandry over the weekend.
@@Mr.Glitch sorry to butt in. You have a channel? Sorry I Shall look for it!!
hi Mark, very nice vids all the time. Can you give a comment on filtration for the best water? How many time should the tank be cycled per hour. Mine filtration is for 50 to 150 liter per hour and my tank is 100 liter. Some say you should minimal have a filtration of 5 times the tank. What is your advise? thanks!
I havnt used that way of thinking about turn over in a long long time ,what matters to me is contact surface area for bacteria to grow and water flow over it .in a shrimp tank it is going to be a gentle flow .
Hi Mark, Great video ! Sorry for asking as i have seen a video where you described the plant toers but i cant find it doh. So for the towers at at back (i cant think of what else to call them) the plant is Subwassertang ? And i recall you attatched it to a rope. For the rope is it tied off at the top of the aquarium and then weighted down at the bottom ? OR OR do you want to make a video ha ha h. Tanks again for the video very good
Video is made John but my schedule is full for at least 2 weeks so it wont be on before then.
thanks for the video. good info. I can only get rilli, rili, little clear and red buggers, in my area (pacific canada) and am in love with the guys. are all breeds the same, do they require different care methods?
Yes they are different ,as a rule of thumb .bee shrimp like a ph under 7 and neocaridina like it over 7.
Hey Mark what kind of bacteria do you use for your tank setup?
Hi Mark you use akadama is this the normal Bonsai soil or is it a different grade,
thanks in advance great vids by the way
hello Rob , look for the stuff marked as HARD Akadama ,some of the packets have Ibaraki on the or two thick red lines or 3 solid white lines just depend on the bag , if you need further help fell free to ask :)
Thanks Mark thats great
I just got my first shrimp!!!
Nice!! what did you get ?
Starting at the start. Cherry Shrimp :)
you were talking about water, did you do a video on filters (besides using sponge filter) for shrimp tank?
I have done an overhead pothos filter video Pothos Aquarium Filter 🦐
What are you using for the moss in the background as hold up? Very nice tank btw perfect.
Try these my friend, one is how I make the ropes and one is how I tie it to wood. ruclips.net/video/t39ZQRhGiOg/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/aJueVH8Fhqc/видео.html
I notice the shrimp like the flow as well.I have a hob on my shrimp tank and the shrimp like to sit under the outflow on the java moss below it.
its because they originally came from small streams I think .
Happy weekend I changed the filter now the water is clean ,how I can circulate in tank through hangonback filter
This is something you have to think about before you buy a filter,Hang on back filters are normally ok for circulation though :)
Hi Mark. I have decided to set up my CRS tank once again. How do I go about adding my water for a first time set up please? I thought of adding half from my mature 4 foot fish tank, and half tap treated with prime. What do you think? :)
Yeah you could do that ,I always clean my other tanks sponge filters in the new tank water to help it along abit,doesnt look nice to start with but it does speed things up .
Hi mark , may iknow what the deferent PRL with CRS? Is it same?
Nice video and keep on shrimpng Mark
I hope u have a good weekend also
Thank you ,best thing is I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS THE WEEKEND !!
love you too Mark
Thank you Damion,I see you on facebook by the way :D
Hey Mark great video but i noticed i'm setting myself up for failure due to using a single sponge filter on a 45cm tank, it has a bent tube but the bubbles only really affect half the aquarium, should i add another sponge filter on the other corner? I have a powerhead from another aquarium but noticed the shrimps didn't like it since it had too much flow.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Another sponge would be ideal :)
Thank you, gonna grab another one and plug it up then.
Thanks a bunch for the help!
Your tanks are awesome! You make me want to set up more tanks and get more shrimp. I already have cherry reds and ghost shrimp.
I want to get crystal reds but they are too expensive here in oz.
You sir are a bad influence! haha :)
Hi mark do you have a vid on how u make those mossy strains u have hanging in the back ? I olso heard u can Just use super glue on the Moss to attach it to something it seems.to be not poisoning sry for my bad english tho love the vids
Hello Big Baller ,The Subwassertang rope is on my to do list.
Regarding the superglue ,I have tried it on moss and subwassertang and they both did not like the stuff ..they ether went brown or white .
Marks Shrimp Tanks alright , im gonna try make something like and il leave the glue out maybe some fish wire Will do thanks again mark
Marks shrimp tank can you do a video of.how to get two different species to breed
Sure I will upload it right now :D a basic crossbreeding video is a great idea :)
what kinda plants are those please? nice video
Subwassertang :)
Hey mark! Could you please tell me which other species of shrimp I can keep with Crystal reds to prevent interbreeding?
Any neocaridina :)
Thank you!
I thought crystals needed softer water and neos hard?
are you using a dimmer for the lights when turning on/off?
No I have them so one half of the room comes on first at 9am and then the rest about 30minutes later .
how long the light should be on? and also what's the soil in your tank? thank you
This soil is akadama and the lights are on for 12hrs a day :)
Not with the double red line stuff we use,its really hard :)
Do i need an active substrate for crystal red shrimp if im using r/o water with bee shrimp mineral?
Yes and no, you do not need it and you will still be able to get shrimp to breed but you will have a lot more success with an active soil.
wish i could chat with you other than here. i got the 6 cherries and 12 ghost shrimp..... a few of the ghosts didnt make it.... but so far the cherries look fine.... just hope im not killing them....😖
My email addy is in my about section
I noticed in your tanks and in others, people are mixing crystal red and crystal black in the same tank. do they not interbreed? I thought we weren't supposed to mix them. Also seen crystal red and blue bolt and tiger shrimp in the same tank. Isn't this bad?
Yes they interbreed ,crystal black and reds are actually the same shrimp just different colors ,the fancy ones you see are all ma made shrimp to breed for the different colors they can produce.
Mark, what lights are you using for that tank? I have trouble finding good LED lights
ok just for you ,and dont buy them all because I want to buy more www.ebay.com/itm/351889573503?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Thank you! Rhese should work a lot better for me! I have been up to now using 2 of the lights that you showcased back when you first made that red cherry tank and I don't believe they are putting out enough light for my tank.
You are welcome ,these lights are good for how much they cost :)
Hey Mark, i tried to raise the oxygenation on my CRS tank. However my ph also went up to 7+. How do i raise up oxygenation and keep ph down? Using ADA amazonia for my substrate. Also this tank is already breeding.
if the shrimp are breeding I wouldnt change anything Eugenio.
Mark I'm doing a planted tank with shrimp. What is their main food source? I know they eat dead fish but what are the leaves about?
Hello Ryan ,Shrimp are first and foremost detritivores meaning the will eat anything thats decaying ,where they come from in the wild the bottom is covered in leaves.
Oh ok thank you so much! Have a great day! Can't wait for the next amazing video to come out.
Ok, I want a tank just for shrimp, but I barely have any room... I have a spare 20, 5, and 1 gallon tank, and I doubt I can fit the 20, or 5, maybe if I got a 2, 3 gallon, would that be good? What should I do to the tank or anything I need?
You need to give them to me ,thats the best start :D
2 or 3 gallon would be ok but dont expect to breed millions of Shrimp from it. filter something like a hob or small sponge filter ..if its just cherry shrimp you want you can use gravel and plain old dechloranted tapwater .
Marks Shrimp Tanks lol, if I did you're paying for shipping
Most important thing, do not overfeed.
What does the babies from the orange and black Shrimp look like?
I dont have any orange shrimp ? :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks sorry I meant the half orange and white ones and half black and white shrimp
Those are crystal reds and if you look closely you can see babies everywhere
If you keep crystal red and crystal blacks together will they eventually turn brownish?
no, I alway just got red and black and the odd brown one, is there anything else I can help you with ?
what are those big round green things? looks like bushes under water I must have it
Subwassertang :)
What is the name of the bush looking plant? I tried googling what I heard and got no results lol
The plant is called Subwassertang :)
hello mark is it safe/recommended to use 2 bacteria together?
You know I was told not to do it because they will compete with each other,but alot of products nowadays have more than one species..another thing which is probably more important is take whatever dosage the manufacturer says and half the amount you want to use ..overdosing can kill Shrimp.
Marks Shrimp Tanks Thx!!Im using lowkeys speed sand wif bacter ae together.Which should i stop using
I would still use both but just not so much of it :)
Hey Mark, how do you keep your tank free of algae? Have you ever had BBA?
not cimpletely free but mainly BBA free and algae outbreak.
Yeah I get all kinds of algae but its never that bad and most of the time it disappears on its own eventually .
The reason it never gets a foothold in my tanks is probably down to me using RO water .
oh ok, how long do you leave your lights on? I like to look at my shrimp so sometimes i keep the lights on for like 8hrs+ lol
12hrs for me ,but I do that because I am in there alot .
are there any other type of leafs you can use for shrimp
Loads of them ,the important thing is they are dry when you collect them so that all the sap has left the leaves,I also soak my dried leaves in water for 24hr just to make sure they are ok ,I mostely use Banana/indian almond/apple tree leave/alder tree leaves,oak ,burch. ect
thanks mark i have a banana tree and i have some dry leaves i will try them ...thanks
Is it better to use a variety of different kinds of leaves or do they all grow the same biomatter and..... makes no matter?
mark!!
I can breed amano shrimp with another type of shrimps in the same tank?
Amano shrimp are a specialized shrimp to breed ,the young require special food and saltwater.
ok,but I can keep mature amano shrimps with another types of shrimps ,they are compatible or they make a fight?
I keep them with crystals I think they are a gentle giant :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks :)ty and I love so much what you do cheers:)
Thank you my friend :)
What are your water parameters? Or do you have a video talking about your parameters?
Hello Praise, for this tank it will be roughly a ph of 6, gh of 6 , kh of 0, temp is around 24c and I do 10% water changes a week, I also use reverse osmosis water to 130 ppm :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks sounds great! Fantastic aquarium, truly a sight to behold!
By keeping CRS and CBS together would they interbreed?
Hello Joel, I would say no I have breed thousands of shrimp in this tank and to be honest the shrimp variations stay the same , you do get the odd crystal black that looks brown but thats it, anything else I can help you with ?
Is 6 hours of light per day enough?
Probably just enough
Do you need a little glass dish in your shrimp tank?
Yeah ,alot of the time food will fall to far down in the substrate for the Shrimp to reach after time it can become a breeding ground for bad bacteria .I have been meaning to do a video on it for months .
@6:17 When you say streams in Hong Kong, what you really mean is Taiwan, amirite? Not a lot of streams nor detritus in said streams if they're in Hong Kong.
There are videos here on youtube of people collecting shrimp from streams outside of HongKong with sand as a base layer.
You're right. Had no idea. To be honest, I didn't know there was much to Hong Kong other than the city itself - seems they've got quite a bit of nature and parks down there. I guess you learn something new every day, especially on this channel :) Thanks for all the hours of entertainment and all the tips/tricks (about to go Nettle/Dandelyon picking btw).
Med venlig hilsen :)
What if you change small amounts of water daily?
try it and see?
What do you feed the shrimp?
Alot of different stuff ,I personally like a balanced diet for them so one day they might have just spinach and the next it might be something that contains fish meal or krill meal.
Marks Shrimp Tanks thank you
Please Mark translate the subtitles in Spanish please!!
i like your vídeos!!!!
I am sorry but I cant afford to get every video I make translated into Spanish Subtitles.
will shrimp breed in a community tank ?
Dean O Donnell yes my red cherries are doing very well
thx
How to raise temperature
easy way is to add lids to the tank this will raise the temperature ,next you would want to buy a heater .:)
thank you friend
Why do my water go brown when I put Indian leafs in? I boil the leafs for about 5-10 minutes. But after about 3 days water is brown..
Soak them in a bucket of water for a day or two before :)
Thanks for your reply....love your videos.. keep up the great work:)
Thank you sir :)
So #3 Structure" Random bits of trash plastic and metal bits... #2 Water any water will do right out of the sewer drain or muddy puddle if it's wet its fine... #1 Light nice bomb fire keeps you warm and your little mud bugs happy! Got it. I new this shrimp thing was easy
