Thank you!!
Dude be honest, why are your skin looking that good
RIGHT? Drop ya skin care routine sir.
I was thinking the same thing. lol
Great video Rob, it answered questions I had about substrate use. 👏🤙
You read my mind, I was curious about this, Thanks for the info 👍
Love that platy and sword plant tank. Thank you for all this great information.
Great vid man! You’ve come a long way!
The brightwell is fantastic love it!
This is probably one of the most over look aspects of the hobby!! When it comes to Caridina, substrate truly is the bones of your setup! Don’t skimp out on it. Plus one for Brightwell. Like in the video I am also using the Rio Escuro F and having great success. Well worth the money!! I’m only using 1/4-1/2 inch covered on the bottom of 40g and 20g tanks. Very little detritus build up and tanks are thriving.
Brightwell can sponsor me any day 😁
A 480 gallon tank all for blue bolts... wow
Skin, eyes... def a fan!
Thank for sharing nice to meet you as well
Great info! Glad to hear there are many options to go with. God Bless
thats great bro
Thanks
That substrate is named after Rio Escuro in Brazil. Escuro in Portuguese means dark. And of course cafe means brown. I don’t speak Portuguese but it’s similar to Spanish. Anyhow, I appreciate how informative your videos are. I like going back to your older video and then coming back to your newer videos just to see the difference in your delivery. Great job!
Good Movie❗️
I moved out the community fish into the 20L PLANTED TANK. And building a 10 g shrimp tank. Thank you Flip Aquatics
other then pool or spa stores, Best place that I have found it is Ace hardware at certain locations. $14. I love the stuff!
Fluval Stratum cheap?!?! Where?? It costs me 50$ for an 8 pound bag.
8 pound bag on amazon right now for 24. Thinking about using some on my new build. Don;t need neutral PH and don't want to use fertilizer root tabs and daily dose.
@@THELASTISDP 8.8KG the 8lb is and has been $50!
@@ttb2166 Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum is 25.99 on amazon for 8.8 LB bag. What are you looking at? What country are you in?
What are your opinions for soil planted tanks for each type of shrimp?
why is ur skin literally perfect
My shrimp tank is organic potting soil under an inch of construction sand.
Heavily planted, tap water brought up to 200ppm TDS with shrimp salt.
Amanos and Orange Pumpkin Neocaridina
All my shrimp are healthy, happy and came from Flip. LOL
“A lot goes a long way” hmmm?
@GlockWiseSB wait is he for real?
@GlockWiseSB no, i was asking if he is actually kamp kenans twin, for real..
Was wondering is Ultum nature control soil any good using it in my 2 gallon planted nano tank & beautiful shrimps..
What is it about the Brightwell substrate that makes it superior to Fluval stratum?
Question I’m starting a beginner shrimp tank with Ghost shrimp as my starter buying about 15 in a 20 gallon. My question is can I house them with any specific fish that won’t harm them?
Where do you get the sponge ? I live in Quebec it will help if i could find it in canada....thank!!!
I have to say that we used pool filter sand with simple easy plants... wisteria, a few smaller swords and a couple unknowns, minimal ferts... when I remembered and medium lighting and had amazing roots and growth! Also now using black diamond blasting sand and our plants are beautiful....
Does it need to be the medium or does fine work well in planted as well?
Eco complete original is black. I am planning on getting blue shrimp and wondering whether black or red is best. I am planning on getting red, blue, black, white, and yellow neocaridina what do you think I should use then?
hmm question i have a 4ft blue dream shrimp tank and kinda new to shrimp, i have about 10kg of mopani wood in there for a amazon look would that hurt them?
Which light are you using?
Great info!!!.....was wondering for neos, if u use the eco complete can u cap it with pool filter sand or sandblasting sand??
Erwin winkler I wouldn’t the eco complete is so large, a lot of times your sand will just fall down through it
Spencer Wheeler ok great thx.....I’ll just stick with the sand then.
What kind of moss are those please?
So it is okay to use fluval stratum for Neocaridena? I want a planted aquarium for shrimp but i can’t decide between fluval stratum or sand. I want it to look cash money
Is it bad to use the Fluval for neos? I'm upgrading my red cherries to a bigger tank and was going to mix the Fluval with the Black Flourite
I used flu all stratum for my ghost and cherry shrimp tanks. They were unhappy with it, the parameters were probably messed up. Now I have a cherry shrimp army of 50+ with AQUEON plant substrate and they are neos
Is a shrimp substrate absolutely necessary for housing shrimp?
the offsync is so weird. but good video, appreciate it
Would CaribSea planted eco complete be ok for cherry shrimp?

Hey dude what make up do you use ?
Great video! I’ve got an empty 20g I’ve been thinking of setting up as a shrimp tank. I have really hard water, though, so a few questions; How long does the PH effect last? Do you have to eventually replace it? If the tank is planted that could be a real hassle. How do you keep PH down once the effect is gone?
Did you ever find an answer to this?
For neocaridina, which like higher PH, you mentioned that they like higher ph, however, if you have a lower ph tap water what should you use? You suggested inert substrates for neocaridina but I thought that they like higher PH...
Yes you do want to use an inert substrate because and active substrate will lower your PH. If your PH is already low and you want to raise it there’s a few things you can do. Certain types of rocks will raise the PH like crushed coral, seashells and also limestone. RO water changes PH as well.
Hey ewrey one I have a sand ho is buying to mycicljds and is called fore ciclidsand and it are doing water harder of kh called here in sweden and wonder if that can give problem with shrimps like anemones and red cherry shrimp if you know what imean
How about sand?
Does dark substrate affect shrimp coloration physically? Ie not just perception
👊
It's making the water black and cloudy, I don't know if it be safe for my fishs
The 480 gallon shrimp-only tank is, perhaps, my favorite aquarium.
After watching this video again, i realize, what he, Rob did, his skin, eyes, still look a person who have more sleep, but look good and very healty, maybe he doesn't care shrimp color only, but his skin too 😅
Drop the skin routine
Great video! The fish in the tank with the Amazon swords are they sword fish?...lol And are you planning on selling them on the website? They're beautiful.
A Wilson platys
Flip Aquatics PLEASE ANSWER!
Driving me Nuts! Are you related to Matt Best or MxBest from Black rifle coffee? Anyone else see it ha ha!
First in.
so kh isnt bad for the shrimp, its bad for the soil that you need for the shrimp?
Rob help! I have snails I can’t get rid of in my shrimp tanks. What is my best way to catch them? Help!!
Get a loach they eat all of that
@@elocsnest will loaches eat the shrimp as well?
What kind of snails curious why your worried
Jadren Aquatics the typical curly que ones. I want them gone and they don’t slow down at all. I got a bunch out this weekend.
Good sht
How about crushed coral sprinkled not a full layer
It could definitely work. You would just need to monitor the hardness of the tank and dial it in with water changes
@@LupDiesel thanks you 🐠
Just a suggestion the camera movement at the beginning made me super dizzy...
Damn, i want a soil for my neocaridina though so i can into aquascaping.
There are a few inert varients that would work. I think one is samuri soil or something like that. I've used Fluval Stratum before for neos too although it's not ideal
@@LupDiesel Thanks, i'll look into it for my smaller tank. did end up going for Dennerle NutriBasis 6in1 for my large tank, says that it's supposed to be safe for shrimp but doesn't really list the contents. Not sure if i want to put shrimps in it but i'll wait a few weeks and do some tests first.
very little factual information, do they leach ammonia? for how long?, how long do they last active?... pity
Your skin is perfect... 👁👄👁
It's not because we are sponsored by them but are sponsored by them.... ok.... right
