Just gotta say I’m kinda new to the channel but it’s really appreciated that for an ENTIRE rescape & “culling” video you kept the time down to ~10minutes with concise / easily digestible information. I hate sitting through a 30 minute video when they feel more fluffed up than my college application essay lol
Did you inject co2 to your tank, that moss so thriving. How is your opinion about how often water change required for neocaridina shrimp? Great channel man, i hope this channel will grow more
Yep, all goes into my moss pond, moss pond is where I harvest moss orders. No shrimp in there so I blast it with h2o2, not crazy, but double what I would put in a shrimp tank to keep it extra fresh and clean every water change.
Great and entertaining video. Enjoy every second of it. How's the cull rate on your green jades. I had some about 6 years ago and the cull rate was terrible. I'm sure it's a lot better now
Well in this tank was left to its own devices since fall and there really weren't that many. Greens are still really hard, but I would put the consistency of my line against any green line out there.
Plan to sale shrimp out of all of them eventually. All jades sold for the last 3 years have come.from my 75g, which is the tank I've had going for 5 years.
I didnt count. That tank previously was not a start and reset tank. It was my backup green jade line because for a while my 75g green jade tank was my only green jades. It was a typical tank that I cull the bad ones out to maintain. The ones I reset every 6 months to a year are my special project tank. This tank just turned into a special prokect tank. Which is essentially how I make most my skittles shrimp and my best of the best to make new future colonies.
@@MarkShellyAquatics OK that gives me a pretty good idea. I just bought 410 gallon tanks and I’m going to start breeding them myself. I sure am learning a lot from you. I appreciate what you do.
Sorry for the ignorance but why are the green jades that look black under most lighting considered higher grade than the ones that you can always tell are green? A couple months ago, I was hoping to get something closer to the thumbnail but the ones I bought (that were sold as high grade) all look black unless under the right lighting. Kind of disappointed but I have a couple F1 offspring with deep / solid turquoise coloration I'm hoping to isolate. Probably going to put the jades in my cull tank if the turquoise pop off, but ultimately I think I'm going to do that anyways and get bloody mary's or orange sunkists if I can't get the turquoise started. Still very new to shrimp keeping but I have five tanks to work with and I'm hoping to line breed 4 different colors in 4 separate tanks with the 5th being a cull tank. Also, I successfully added galaxy red pintos to one of my tanks so I was thinking of getting some boa offspring to work on in two of the tanks if I can get the neos to start thriving in lower tds. (sorry for the tangent)
The thing you run into when making the greens darker and darker is this. They are so opaque that you cannot even see if females are berried because 0 light gets through. All colors are the same if you go dark enough, its just that greens end up looking like that. Super dark blues do the same where they look almost black. High grade greens aint for everybody.
I need to do this with my orange and keep putting it off, gonna be hard pick best and A LOT of work. Also fyi my green I got from you finally had babies :) Doing well.
Orange are already a pretty tough line, mine wants to go either red or greenish wilds. And of course every grade or orange lol. Got an orange tank thats next on my list to do.
They dont come out of a cull tank, I never sale culls. I sale outbof tank to tank, right now my 75g and 40g tanks have lots of green jades, so while I have lots of stock I figured I would try and make this line even better.
No worries man, I barely been on here to check comments. Been dealing with tech issues on website all week. Most of yesterday, all of today, and some Monday and Tuesday. After all of that they said he cant fix it. While I can still get orders no problem, the automated mail system is broke and they cant fix it. A few people get emais but most do not. So I gotta personally send every order an email by hand.
@@MarkShellyAquatics dang! I been having some technical difficulties too… trying to get a live going next week. I know it’s not your thing, but in the coming weeks ,it would be great to have you on for Q and A about neocaradinas. And it would probly help me get off toa good start. No pressure, think on it a while. Thanks again for another also those green jades ooooweee! They are nice!
I wish someone in Singapore would sell me big bunch of mosses. they always sell such small tiny pieces....so stingy lol won't even quote me for a moss wall either

Problem is youtube rewards longer watch times, why so many videos on youtube are stretched out, youtube wants you to watcb as many ads as possible.
Your channel is the perfect example for someone to see how much a line improves as long as you keep working with it 👍👍
Thanks bud, shrimping aint hard, its super easy, its more about time, consistency, and just sticking with it for a long period of time.
Did you inject co2 to your tank, that moss so thriving. How is your opinion about how often water change required for neocaridina shrimp? Great channel man, i hope this channel will grow more
No CO2 and no fertilizer. Just food and I do about 30% weekly water changes.
This video is the first time I'm seeing your face and I gotta say you look exactly how I imagined 😊 thanks for all the amazing videos
Lol, thanks for watching 👍
Hope youre selling that moss?

I got a handful from him and now have 2 tanks packed full of it. It's growing better even that my java moss.

Which tank are the ones you offer on your website housed in?
Plan to sale shrimp out of all of them eventually. All jades sold for the last 3 years have come.from my 75g, which is the tank I've had going for 5 years.
About how many was in the colony you put back in? How long had they been in there?

Yeah some of my blues almost look black also
Great video,you should try creating green rili shrimp!
Maybe, i get them pop up here and there sometimes, but rare
@@MarkShellyAquatics you will definitely be one of the first American sellers if you did and first American line!

When you sell your green jade, do they come out of the culled or the best of tank?
They dont come out of a cull tank, I never sale culls. I sale outbof tank to tank, right now my 75g and 40g tanks have lots of green jades, so while I have lots of stock I figured I would try and make this line even better.
those guppies are going to love all the baby shrimp :(
Shrimp will be fine with all that jungle val. Few qill vet picked off, but they'll be alright.
I’m late as hell!! 😮 I do have an excuse, my phone wasn’t on me, I forgot it, but I’m here now! I’ll comment at the end!😂

I wish someone in Singapore would sell me big bunch of mosses. they always sell such small tiny pieces....so stingy lol won't even quote me for a moss wall either
Lol yeah, most places are selling moss in little 1x1 mesh squares with nothing more than a little pinch of moss for 10 bucks.
Dang, thats a lot of moss🙂
Yeah, some.of the best moss Ive seen growing was in that tank, it was perfect with 0 alage.
