    Did you know, I recently wrote the most comprehensive book ever written about keeping, feeding and breeding Cherry Shrimp. Check it out here fishkeepinganswers.com/neocaridina_shrimp_handbook/

      Are there printed, hard copies of your book? I do not read e-books.

      Unfortunately not. But I am working on an audio version of that helps?

      Sorry, but no. I love reading traditional books, preferably hardback. We have about 5,000 books here at home. Let us know if a print one becomes available. @@FishKeepingAnswers

      Will do. I also love a good book, but due to the nature of my audience being spread across the world, a physical book is not financially viable at the moment 😢

    Not too appealed on the next tip count down timer and noise but great to see a refreshed video. Been growing my bloody mary colony for several months and doing great. Thinking of either getting some cardinal tetras or chili rasboras to occupy the empty space

    Can I ask the community a question? I recently bought moss for my shrimp aquarium off of Amazon and the moss came with tiny very tiny black mites anyone know what they are? How to get ride of them

    • @FishKeepingAnswers

      Hi. I would suggest taking some photos and posting them on forum.aquariumcoop.com
      There is a good chance someone on there will be able to identify them 👍🏻

    Hey Richard, can you make a video on how to sanitize and quarantine new plants (especially floating plants)? I added floating plants from Etsy directly, and they may have introduced tiny white leeches(not planaria) that killed off all my shrimp and shrimp babies.

    One of the hardest thing for me with a shrimp tank, is leaving it alone. I have a habit of changing things in my tanks often. So i have a community tank that i change things with. Not alot, but a bit. But i have to tie my hands whwn it comes to my shrimp tank and just let it be. So far they are surviving. But its only been 2 weeks for me. Thanks for all your videos. It made me have the confidence to buy and try to raise a colony of cherry shrimp.

      @chngdbygrace 6 месяцев назад +1

      Be careful when buying glass/ghost shrimp. Sometimes whisker shrimp are sold as ghost shrimp, they are difficult to tell apart, but whiskers can grow up to 3 inches and have longer arms like prawns... Whiskers can be predatorial...

    I'm going to an aquarium fair tomorrow and hope to find some red cherry shrimp for my Dennerle scaper 35 liter. I've made a sort of a landscape with rocks, wood and many plants I hope they're going to love.
    The red cherries in my other tank I got from my lfs still haven't bred. Over time I added more, but some disappear and I'm left with just females apparently.
    My blue dreams are doing amazing! And they got company from four baby bandit corys which my adult bandits left in there once they finished their quarantine period.
