Nice descriptive information. I was surprised how tiny the new hatchlings were and had to research since they are the same size as corepods and to see the tail ...you really need a magnifying glass. This is the best video yet on the shrimp event and it is 5 years ago !, thanks
Very interesting video. I have cherry shrimp that have been in my tank for about 2 months now. I had lots of saddled females two weeks ago but none of them are berried. I have no idea what is going on. I have hard water for them and 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites and 5 nitrates. The tank had a couple live plants and a shrimp motel. I'm stumped.
So interesting. Thank you
I just got my Shrimp Tank set up a few days ago and also have Blue Dream. They're around 1 cm big and i hope they start giving birth soon! :)
Hey, :) Huge THX.
Quite remarkable, indeed. And failing not to mention, immensely helpful.
You certainly have obtained a trained eye, in exactly what to look for.
Thank you kindly. my friend. and as always thanks for watching, likes and shares. It keeps me pumped up to keep learning and keep teaching
Wow
That's how my blue dream looks! I wish I catch one of my NeoCaridnia's give birth. I always miss it.
So informative, great for a newcomer to Shrimp. Love all of your content.
thanks for sharing the info
Great video. Loved it. I captured one of my berried shrimp a couple of yrs ago kicking out one baby before she hid behind a plant.
I've been dying to get 4k video of them doing that, but I've been waiting 3 months and the mothers hide...so I put one in a fish pen and sadly she never birthed them- even though they started to hatch in the main tank (perhaps she can get stressed and abort them? I dont know how or maybe the pen had different water and the eggs missed some environmental que...so now I'm just waiting again for that perfect video of my blues or sakura gold lines giving birth....rilis are probably the best type honestly though. Thanks for enjoying the video and I hope you also find many more on my channel that entertain and perhaps inform you. Thanks for the views and have a great day!
@@Fishtory From my understanding it's best not to move a berried shrimp for more than likely she'll get stressed as you mentioned. Sorry for your loss. Yes, I've enjoyed looking through your acct here and saw a couple of video's already. I'm having fun listening to what you have to say and love seeing your shrimp and nano fish. Ive been keeping shrimp for about 3.5 years and just recently purchased some chili Rasbora's. I'm loving them and will be getting more than my 11 I just got. I've kept a community tropical tank and goldfish in the past. Keep the shrimp coming 😍. I'm glad I found your acct.
thank you and I just put 2 dario dario scarlet badis is my 10 gal shrimp tanks as a test...i think theyll eat about 30% of my babies at worst, but definitely leave anything over a month old alone completely...and eat all the hydra, planaria and nematodes...which is super fun to watch
@@Fishtory That's too bad that a good percentage (at least I think it is)of your baby shrimp will be eaten. I know I'm taking my chances but I really wanted them. I purchased my blue dreams and chili rasbora's together with the intention of them being in a tank together. Time will tell. Do you have an IG acct?
@@sunnycal2293 yes theres an Ig account if you search the channel name as a #. I Also have an artwork one at www. instagram.com/alexanderjwilliamson/
Interesting about how the darker red actually have some blue pigment. I assumed the darker reds were a higher grade. Thanks for sharing all your shrimp knowledge!
No problem
Great filming Secret History, thanks for sharing. I've not kept shrimps yet; learning all I can from you, Rachel O'Leary and LRB first.
Never thought I'd actually see a baby shrimp the minute it's born. If that's the kind of shots you can do with less than optimum equipment, I'm looking forward to seeing the quality of work you'll be producing when you get your new camera! Swim On :-)
heh thanks...yeah i still need to raise quite a bit via my patreon page or donations via Venmo...but someday ill get there hehe. Thanks for watching and feel free to ask questions and or join the Facebook group by the same name too!
I really enjoy all your videos! Up until a point when you pronounce Latin names as they we English words, meaning using English grammar.
It is hard to find out Latin words read out properly today, especially as Google is doing bad job with it.
Always when you have “ii” at the end it is read as one “I”. Second “i” is silent and it means it got its name in honour of some David, in this case. I learned Latin in school and it is not a joke, but is useful if you love science.
Keep up the good work with your videos ☝️
I agree and this is an older video, so ive gotten a little better at it lol. Bet Neocaridina "Davidi" is a weird one in that they only used one letter "i"
Great footage. Congrats on the shrimplets!
Yes, we can see the babies as they are being born.
I love that you have taken time to respond to all the people who take time to write you. I actually have some blue dreams that are pregnant but they are no where near as beautiful as yours. Mine are a low quality/grade shrimp. How can I buy some grade A shrimp? Or the highest grade blue dreams? I want a great line. Also do you have caridena shrimp in the same tank with the neos?
Yes I do have shrimp together...I may have a video on it...but they don't do well for breeding ...just for looks if the water is kh3-5 and gh5-7 tds 50-100 and temp 74 or so
As for blue dreams I'd recommend either aquatic arts . Com and use (SECRET15) For my discount...and garden of Eder shrimps @ tgoeshrimp . com (SECRET10/secret10) for 10% off ... the second are specifically bred in Florida harder water and are tougher in hard water, where the Aquatic arts are good for most water and softer waters
Hi! Love the video, can I ask about the tub? Does that keep them in one place?
Yup it sure does
Nice job on the photography.
don't mean to insult you or the shrimp. Do you think having Elassoma gilberti graze on the spawn of these blue shrimp will help them get a more blue colour when compared to one that's grazing on yellow shrimps?
No i just have 4 tanks of blue shrimp, so the culls get fed to the elassomas, because they only eat live food
Good close up view. Nice.
Beautfiul shrimp, interesting event.
Awesome video. Thank you!
I'm guessing all colour morphs work the same. I kept Budgerigars for a few years and there is not only colour genes but also dark genes. Eg a Violet budgie must carry the dark gene as well as the blue gene. Great video Alex as always mate 🙂
Thanks! I used to keep those birds for a while too
Man you are so knowledgeable, as well as dedicated thank you for bringing such good content. why would they do that do you think that they might be trying to protect each other's babies like it one couldn't free have they offering maybe the other one could or why do the female group like that?
Im not sure, but that's possible. I know the other females also hangout to eat the egg casings that baby shrimp leave...it's similar to their sheds. Meaning it has a ton of the minerals and vitamins they need to molt after having the babies.
By the way, thank you for watching and for your kind words
We're watching one of our berried "Super Blue" neos fanning her eggs right now. Any idea where "Super Blue" fit into the davidii tree? We bought 6 of them and they're all subtly different shades of blue. Some really dark, some less so...
I would guess it is another name for blue dreams. They tend to have variations in color also.
I’m worried about summer, here temperatures can reach to 40C, I see some people using fans to cool between 2/4 degrees. And I’m wondering if summer will kill my neocarodinas. Do you use fans for cooling in places like California?
I'd definitely cool it down to whatever keeps that water under about 30° C
beautiful. thanks
Thank you kindly for watching!
I feel like getting a shrimp tank now
i highly recommend it.... definitely start with neocaridina species first....blue dream, red rili, snowball, jade. cherry, bloody mary. yellow sakura and so forth
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium thanks for the info
Can shrimp live in a plastic container without heat or filter ect
Yes but take a look at my 'filterless dish bowl or vase" episode
Really love long shrimp videos like this one! Definitely need more of them on RUclips and also I was wondering if you knew anything about Paratya Australiensis shrimp? They are native here in Australia and we keep them instead of Neocardinia or Caridina but there isn’t a single informational video about them on RUclips :(
Thank you kindly. Most dward shrimp behave fairly similarly, which is nice, but every species has some quirky traits that make them unique. Thanks for watching, I also have a whole playlist on shrimp videos if you want more content :)
As for the Paratya we rarely get them, but ive seen em once or twice... ill try and dig info up and ill try to make a video, mate!
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium cheers mate!! Also I wanted to ask how long do you think until shrimp will be comfortable enough to start breeding when added into a new tank from the pet store?
depends... if theres lots of hiding spots, good clean waters and good food...theyll do it immediately....ive bad a shrimp arrive berried in a bag i sent to someone..I am positive the shrimp were not pregnant when i sent it, too.
But more realistically mine take 1-3 months (if mature)
also i forgot to mention, that the more shrimp, the higher the pregnancy rate is... ....like easy way beyond just the ratio of having more shrimp that could get pregnant theoretically. Because one female puts out hormones and males go nuts wanting to mate, ....which then impresses other females to compete. so 6 shrimp may take 6 months...12 shrimp maybe 1 or 2 months and 20+ its likely immediate
over here blue velvets come from rillis also known as blue gene rillis which popped up from red rilli line.
Really cool to see! Thanks for catching this incredible moment. You mentioned the baby shrimp eat bacteria and auw Fuchs (sp?) in the water. Is there anything we can feed them? For nano fish fry, I read we can feed them paramecium, infusoria, daphnia, vinegar eels, egg yolk, Hikari first bites, and “golden pearls” to name a few. Will they eat this, too? Could I put extra powdered spirulina and/or Bacter AE?
Great question! Yes they'll eat any tiny tinnnny flake food that's floating by and powdering any food is fine....but yes, using bacter AE in a tank with tons of surface area for auwfuchs to grow is the only natural way it's done. ....that and or a well cycled tank with algae and so forth already growing.
I'm watching this again to quick refresh my info... my first two blue-dreamish females are heavily berried. The one who is further along is holding most of the eggs in her swimmers, but 3 or 4 eggs are just dangling underneath her and bob along as she moves around. I just noticed them yesterday, so don't know how old the eggs are. I can't wait!
Ive seen that too...i dont know why that happens though
Do they take long to give birth to their babies cause mine just gave birth to 3 shrimplets and this is day 3 and shes still juggling babies in their but not giving birth yet, do u know why that is and if its normal
Sometimes they spread it out over a few days, yes
@@Fishtory oh thanks, mines still going
Do you separate your colors?
Got 150 bucks of shrimp coming in today. And in their future tank, my shrimp are dying. Everything checks out. I've lost over $400 in shrimp since I've started this hobby late last year. I'm getting so fed up bro nothing I do helps even though the water seems ok. I bet I'm missing a very tiny detail that's making the difference. And when I finally decide to trash all my tanks because I'm fed up, I'll figure out what I was missing.
Lol I've been there man. I have resorted to only using brightwell soil...Cycling tanks for 4 months or more for most shrimp, and using only bottled Distilled water for water changes
@@Fishtory hey man thankyou bro I appreciate you getting back to me. I hope you don't feel obligated especially when I'm rambling lol but thanks man that's awesome! And Maybe have to go that route myself
how do I know if the eggs are fertilized, I've had some neo and caradina shrimps blue and galaxy shrimps in a 5 gallon tank with a lot of plants and hiding spots, they developed eggs A LOT of eggs, they got super fat, one of them all of a sudden lost most of her eggs, does that mean she dropped them somewhere? how will I know when they hatch?
Yes, likely she hatched them and about 30 to 45 days later, you will start seeing the babies come out of hiding!
It really bugs me that you say they are born, or shrimp give birth. They are eggs. They hatch.
I like how you are so persistent getting the right camera shot. Camera movement is way to fast on showing the difference in the light colored one you were hunting. It takes us on this end about 2-3 seconds to even focus on what’s in the picture. A lot less movement would be helpful.
I could sit and watch those eggs hatch for an hour, cause that’s exactly what I came to your video to see. Lol. I knew you would have filmed it. It’s not boring to us newbie’s, we’re surfing your videos repeatedly. If the eggs are held outside the body under the feelers or whatever they are called, why would you have to cut her open if she died to save the eggs. That doesn’t sound logical. Their fertilized eggs attached to the undercarriage of the mother shrimp by a sticky substance.
So there are higher and lower order shrimp. Caridina longmani and serrata and neocaridina common in the hobby, are higher order egg carrying shrimp... some carry eggs internally like amano, bamboo or Pinocchio shrimp and give birth to hundreds or even thousands of larvae that float down river and out to sea for the first 6 months to 2 years of life. Im speaking just vauge enough so i wouldnt hear the " oh yeah....but what about..." comments lol.
As for cutting mom open, it's more peeling back, as you say, but without smashing the fragile eggs, using a scalpel to cut off her carapace side wall is the easiest way to see the clutch of eggs and slide them off each blade of her ova-sheaths.
Lastly, the filming just sucked im earlier videos before i had stable camera and a gimbal to work with hehe. Now the last 2 years its been smoothing and slower. Cheers
