Very nice tip with the small containers of substrate! Avoids so much hassle :)
Love your fish tank reviews
Great video Jason. We re-use tumble dryer water for fish that essentially is close to distilled, with a TDS of around 15. Anything out of the taps in my area is about 400.
Good info. I’m setting up a tank and this will help.
Can you house six green neon tetra four crystal red shrimp and two peacock gudgeons in a five gallon tank?
If you do 15% water change weekly
@@JadrenAquatics Thank you for responding
Lausenzein? haha its german Löwenzahn
5 gal = 20 litres.
Didn't mention water temps, heaters. I know you pros heat the entire space 😁
Fluval stratum also leeches ammonia. I replaced my potting mix with fluval stratum and the day after my ammonia was at 5.0ppm. It also needs to sit for a while.
I think someone else told me that also thanks!
Just recommended your videos in my discord. Let me know if you want to join and I will make the bot autopost your videos. :)
Also, thanks for being chill at AquaShella Orlando.... Still bummed I didn't get your autograph....
Yes would love that just let me know jadrensaquatics@gmail.com
Nice 👍 biofilm food is a good idea
yo, i dont get it. why GH "PLUS", if u need soft water and the GH under 10?
Hey, Hello, and all that... :)
Good job! Actually, you've done a great job!
I'm putting together a list (nothing too crazy, I promise) of questions & comments for you. I hope that's okay?
Thx again, very well done! :)
I've been wanting to setup a caridina shrimp tank, have kept neos for several years now, thanks for a good video on setup, now I need to get mine going
Excuse me, Sir and Madam here, so basically if I have 48 gallon of aquarium, it can contained for 1,000 Crystal red/bee shrimps and they can have a well being life inside ?
Yes but you would need to do water changes a little more often because of th high bioload
@@JadrenAquatics I do, about 5 to 10 percent everyday or 2 or 3 days. Thanks so much, now I know, how many shrimps in max can I have with this aquarium, because they start breeding and have shrimplet
Its time usa converted to the metric system?
I have floramax planted tank substrate is that ok? I've had that in my tank for over 2 years.
his green screen is as bad as his hairline
1:21 That price for that tank is absolutely insane. I'm sad I'm a couple years late to the party 😅
I use samurai soil. It is the same shape/size as stratum but is inert. I buy RO and remineralized with the same buffer. The samurai soil has worked great for me and no ammonia worries, it doesn’t break down and my pH is stable at 6
Never heard of that I'll have to take a look. Thanks!
hmm..the name, samurai soil, it must be from Japanese factory ?
Great video, very informative! For your waste water collection used in water changes , can it be used for any type of fish? Or only for hard water fish like African Cichlids? Thanks!
Yes any fish thanks
I’m trying some of Flips Tangerine Tigers and Crystal Blacks
I've got some of both. High quality shrimp
Great video! How about CO2 injection (30 ppm) with caridinas? It's harmful?
That one I don't know for sure.
Shrimp are more suitable to Co2 injection than fish are. Green Aqua has more information when it comes to Co2 injection
How about TDS after putting soil? TDS before putting into the tank should be about 130, but after putting in the tank, due to the soil, the TDS will be higher. How much does it have to be? Mine is about 250. Is it normal or do I have to lower it down?
Hey, I have a quick question to ask. I only have the Salty Shrimp+, is that okay to use for CRS?
Crs can take the higher tds but it's really better if you use the other
I don’t think you green screened the intro today on this upload! LOOKS AMAZING! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
lol you are correct! Thanks!
when keeping 10 or less shrimp i prefer to keep them in a 2.5 or 3gallon..
in tanks i use Fluval i find it hard to maintain good PH levels. id never use it for caridinia but would use it for Neos.. i get ph around 7.0 but sometimes i find very bio active tanks at 8.5 with fluval
Amazonia v2 can easily achieve 6.0 PH.. most my tanks i use that are about 5.6
Are there crystal red shrimp that are Neo Caradina? Have you ever tried using Asian plumb leaves or Magnolia leaves? Easy and cheap to get here in TX. Thanks
No crystal are caridina shrimp. No I'm always afraid to use anything that grows locally be a use they spray for mesquitos so much
@@JadrenAquatics true. They spray here as well. Maybe I'll dry some out and then soak in a bucket with water changes.
Bright well works well for me
Hi! I'm on the 2nd week of cycling my tank for crystal reds, but my PH won't go higher than 5.4. How do I raise this OR should I even bother raising it?
Did you start with RO water and use Remineralizers?
Jadren Aquatics yes I remineralized with shrimp king GH+
@@andrewle7840 If you get the TDS to what it is supposed to when mixing I would never check PH, I never have in any of my shrimp tanks
Awesome video, but you didn’t mention the best cocktail sauce for these shrimp. On a serious note, you are a brave man to jump straight into Cardina rather than the much easier Neo’s
I've had Neos for about 2 years almost every color. Thanks!
I didn’t know! I got the idea that you were new in shrimp. I should have guessed...you’re not new at any part of this hobby!!
What temp do you run your caridina tanks at? I want to do one but am afraid it may be too hot in my fish room
72-78 most the time
@@JadrenAquatics thanks, you always reply and it’s much appreciated!
Very informative and helpful. Thank u
Very informative Crystal Shrimp set up walk through. Is this tank for the wife??
What dose it mean by fully cycled sponge filter?
is rainwater TDS 3 ok as RO?
I can't see why not
Sweet!
what GH and KH does the 130 TDS correspond to?
Best guide I've seen and I just watched like 8
Awesome Video!! Thanks
hey I bought seiryu stone and im setting up my caradina tank. RCS. im using ada Amazonia as my substrate, I plan to put some wood as well.
will the stone leach to much KH and fluctuate the ph to much ? or is this stone rather inert? I do see some white lines running through it which are calcium? should I just scrap the stone all together and scape with just wood?
Try to use dragon stone.. the stone will not effect anything in it shrimp tank
I just learned about the dosing of minerals, that was s great tip a TDS of 130. Thanks!
Your very welcome
A seasoned tank with biofilm is always better than a jump started cycled tank. I would not recommend adding shrimp to a new tank without biofilms grown in.
I've done it many times with great success bacter AE creates that biofilm almost immediately thanks
Love the ball cap
Hey, great video. By the way, what the best temp for these creature?
anything from 68-78 degrees F, but they're typically happiest at 72 degrees :)
ty jadren
My crystal red shrimp tank is in 110 liters with platinum soil (Ro water + GH minerals) TDS 140 :))) living and breeding like crazy, btw i have made my shrimp room tour :D i have just 8 aquariums at the moment :)))
Very cool gotta check it out thanks!
I don't use any stone in a crystal tank because it raises the PH.
Do you think ohko would?
