This is by far the most comprehensive video on cherry shrimp care. This video is great for beginners since it addresses everything: water, tank, filter, substrate, decor, plants etc. It is also very well structured and straight to the point.
Didn’t even know a green screen till the package 🤯
Lol
thanks im a beginer and was looking for a straight foward video like this your awesome and tons of help 😎👍
Oh how I wish Flip Aquatics and Aquarium Co-op shipped to Canada.
If you're in Toronto, we got Shrimp Fever dot com and they ship out. Not a huge selection but still good.
Why? They dont ship live creatures within the states either
Thanks for all the info! Love to see another shrimp keeper sharing the knowledge!
One of the best and most comprehensive videos on the topic. TY!
I love how you put I got to have these shrimp lol
Lol

Very much new to the hobby, thank you for the info!
Thank you so much.. very refreshing and informative video.. really appreciated.. I've been doing my homework regards setting up a shrimp aqua scape. I've become a bit hooked on the industrial nature of shrimps.. I'm pretty much new to all this. thanks again for your tips and advice... kind regards Dave 👍😊
Great video! Cant wait to get my shrimp!
Thanks again another great video
Nicely explained. Thanks

I feel like I just read a 200 pages book amazing video
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Very good information thank you. The only thing you did forget to mention was make sure your tank is by a chair because you will send a long time watching their coming and going and milling around the tank!!
Good shared
Clear as mud :)
Lol
Right turn Clyde 🍂
Nice 👍
Thank you. Just cycled a 5 gal Fluval and added 2 little plants then saw cherry shrimp and couldnt resist! They are beautiful. I never see them much in Texas!🤠🦐🦐🦐🦐 I am hoping I have enough biofilm for them to snack on. I dont even have fish yet. I'm trying to find some type of food to feed also. They seem to hide under leaves st this point.
You can always through in a small green bean for them to snack on
Thanks for a great video!
I do about 35% once a month. 15g with wild type shrimp. Started with 20, had hundreds within two months. Maybe 4 or 5 hundred in there now. Java moss, subwassertang and Java Fern windelov growing all over the wood in the tank. Have a small Eheim ecco with a big prefilter sponge as my filter. Use a Fennix stingray as my light. Going to give them another 15g very soon. I might add them to my 60g Wild Swordtail tank when the plants grow in more. Who knows, I might even try one of the colored varieties.
Yea I had to get every color it's the collecting obsession lol
This guy couldn't have been more right never get plays sand!! Nightmare of the day for me fellas
Lol yep
Are you green screening? Great video, thanks heaps.
i was wondering the same thing lol. at least have just 1 real fish tank in the back
@@kishb4609 yep
Funny there’s no label on that mineral jar. 🤣
what's a green screen
Hi I have never had shrimp before and found this video one of the best I have a tank ready was going to put gravel into it and use tap Water and add seachem prime would I be able to take the sponge out of my tropical fish tank and use in my new setup for cherry shrimp how long do u think it would take to cycle and what sort of tests would you recommend sorry for all the questions I liked the way you explained everything thanks again
Another great video just got my first dozen cherry shrimp.In a ten gallon with gold white clouds ,neon tetras and a koi betta letting them clean what gets on bottom and oak leaf for food.
Congrats welcome to the addiction lol
I think of was Flip that said a water change would help the breeding process because it would cause then shrimp to moult.
Something else he said was that calcium (within the TDS) is very important to help with moulting too.
Yes I think that's what I remember too. Thanks!
Great video Jason. By the way, your catfish are doing fine.
Thanks for letting me know I've been worried about them
@@JadrenAquatics they love 100% soft algae pellets, go figure
They also devour French style green beans
Nice blue/green screen effect...
Thanks
Your wife is going to slowly take over the fishroom with shrimp!
As long as she's happy and we are doing it together she can have all she wants well... Maybe not all
My well water is at 550ppm after softening and they seem to like it just fine. And the snails are loving the calcium, no idea what the ph is and I run the tank at whatever the room temp is. And I feed them spinach, nettles, zucchini, bananas
Most cherry will do well in a large span of parameters they are very hardy
👌👌👌
Can I take everything from my established tank and put it all in a new bigger tank and transfer the shrimp up that new tank?
🦐👍
Nice video, good information and easy to relate to. I did set up a 10 gal dirted tank for cherry shrimp but end up with lots of snails when I bought plants for it. I treated the plants with PP and bleach, still got pond snails. I now have 3 mollies and 2 zebra loach in there to eliminate snails before adding cherry shrimp. It's an uphill battle going on for 6 months now. I am at a point that I want to dump cupramine in the tank. Having said that, my zebra loaches are doing triple overtime for me so I'm giving them a chance. Any suggestion of fish species to keep with cherry shrimp or keep it shrimp only? Thanks.
Some snails are great with shrimp but overpopulation will out compete for food. Some people say having fish really helps because the shrimp eat the poop. Anything with a really small mouth like galaxy rasboras
Assasin snails to the rescue!
God Bless :)
I have a planted tank that has been without fish for about 2 months, since my betta passed away, I do partial water changes every week to avoid algae and insects, it also has a filter, I'm thinking about changing the substrate because the one that's in it is crystal like, and I want something darker, but do I need to cycle it before adding shrimp?
If you have shrimp in a tank that is still cycling, can you use fritz complete or a similar product daily to keep them safe?
👍👍👍
love your vids and thnx for sharing your knowledge. i'm a beginner and trying to keep and breed cherries in a 3 gallon low-tech nano tank (marineland contour 3), with lots of plants and some drift wood and mineral rocks. it's taken me 2.5 months of learning, trial and error, and sadly killing a bunch of shrimps in the process. i finally have the water parameters within range, with ph @ 7.1, kh @ 4, and gh @ 7. however, the tds likes to stay around 250. i tried water changes and lowered it to 200; it eventually slowly creeps back up to 250. i don't know if tds will continue to rise; i guess time will tell. so my question is how accurately should i monitor the water parameters, esp. tds? i keep hearing to do less and keep it stable. at which point do i need to lower tds? and besides water changes, what else can i do to lower tds? 2nd question is my water temp fluctuates from 72 to 75 everyday, depending on day/night natural room temp. is that ok? last question, how many shrimp in a 3 gallon tank is too many for them to breed? many thnx. your fan, david
don't worry, I have only bought 5 so far and I believe only 1 survived :(
Shrimp substrate 😜
By the way great videos I learned so much. Here in California I'm seeing a lack of feeder fish. I want to go into breeding Rosy Red Minnows, any advice? Tank setup up, leave them in or take them out? Thank you.
Some time of large tub would be needed to produce large amounts
@@JadrenAquatics can you please make a quick 5min vid. I know your busy and its asking much. But maybe that quick 5 min vid before bed. Call it" this video is for Rickys minnow farm. 😄 thank you. You rock man.
love how he says cardinia lol
👍
I have wondered for 5 years how to pronounce cholla. I was unknowingly pronouncing it right all along. Kinda proud of myself.
What brand or model of sponge filter would you recommend for a 10 gallon planted tank?
I’m using the HOB that came with my tank with a sponge filter over the intake.
Can I use 2.5mm size sand? Or crushed black lava rock pieces as a substrate?
I have a 55 Gal that I want to raise cherry shrimp in. It's planted and I had it up and running for about 3 weeks with a sponge filter out of my 75 limia tank. I also have 8 mystery snail in it. What advice could you give about tankmates
Any fish guppy or large will pick off the babies until there is just more babies than they can eat
15 to 20 percent water changes….well shoot.
I was hoping to add some to my pseudomugil tank,which gets a 50 percent change weekly.😢
I have 5 10 gallon tanks in my bedroom with neocaridina. I just purchased them 2 weeks ago from Lucas Bretz but they are still hiding quite a bit. I notice that they hide even more when I disturb them. When I do a little bit of a water change and add new water they seem to spook and hide even more. Why and how can I add water and not disturb them? You said they like water changes but I notice they hide when I add water.
I would not do many water changes they really don't need especially if they are still stressed. Maybe do some once they settle in
can you use mopani wood ?
I got some questionable shrimp from Flips. Most of them are either old af, or cull level variety from any home breeder. Nice video though. I have all of these suggestions in my tank. Lol
Is there a specific shrimp mineral you are using?
Are all leaves safe for shrimp? Could I just use leaves from outside, or are specific types the best?
No there are some that are bad. You might search online someone has a list
Hi i have some questions...
A) Is there any wood that wont give colour to water?
B) is dragon stone is safe? Because currently im following this topic of some dragon stones being safe for shrimps and some not being safe...
Sir Fa the only wood that will not change water would have to be glazed with something to not break down. As for dragonstone I can’t find any straight answer so I have just stayed away from it
Molded Manzanita branches sold on Etsy.
@@kelseyyshort7759 you tried it?
if i had sand to my 20 g tank do i need to remove all my shrimp or can i just just add it in carefully.it is pool sand.
You can just add it when the shrimp are still in
@@JadrenAquatics ty
Does it have to be sand?
Do you drip acclimate the shrimp? You are so far the only one that found does simple set up for cherry shrimp. The others was too much too many step
You use a green screen, parts became transparent...
But anyway, I am pretty new to shrimp, about a month or two. I have been getting a few at a time, and I got some essentially colorless ones that are in there just because they were very cheap but I wouldn't want them to breed,and a few ghost shrimp which are about the same. Yesterday I looked in there and a female (painted?) red shrimp (I don't know) was laying on her side with two smaller transparent shrimp apparently eating her thru the belly! 😲 My eyes just about popped out of my head! 😢 I didn't think Cherry Shrimp could attack anything, and thought maybe ghost shrimp were attacking! But two were shaking her pretty violently! I moved pretty suddenly, maybe I tapped the glass, I'm not sure.
But then I realized I was actually seeing two (ugly) male Cherry Shrimp mating with the female! My first time seeing it. 🙈 Oh my virgin eyes! 😉
I know I have both sexes now, even though these males weren't ones I would have preferred. 💩
Lol that's too funny! Yes sometimes I use a green screen but that background is my fishroom. Thanks!
i am setting up a 6 gallon for shrimp the ones i am getting are sunburst but only want them for pets not bothered about breeding them will 6 gallons be enough and how many would you reccomend in this size tank
You could safely keep 30 to 40 in that tank. Thanks
thats great thank you for the reply
My tap water is 220 tds is it safe? Its not well/earth water it is supplied from local pumping station
Yea it safe I would still use prime or safe on it just in case it's treated
@@JadrenAquatics i use stress heal solution in case it has chlorine, i also do water aging 24hrs, i do use microlife s2
I have a sponge filter from another tank but the fishes from that tank have died due to ammonia can i use the sponge filter for my new shrimp tank ?
If they died from ammonia then the sponge is not cycled so that sponge needs to fully cycle before using it
@@JadrenAquatics thankss , is it okay to use colourful pebbles as a substrate for the shrimps ?
@@misfits3746they don't care at all so it's fine
Can I keep cherry shrimp in a ten gallon tank with sunburst wag platies?
Platies will pick off any small shrimp
@@JadrenAquatics thank you! I noticed all the shrimp were hiding. I took out the platies, and set them up in a new tank. Literally, within MINUTES, the shrimp started to come out of hiding!
So is the Fluval Strattum not good for Neo's?
Thats the biggest question on every single video. First ,they tout inert substrate, then say use aqua soils but it buffers the ph. Can't get a clear answer. Would love to see a video of a tank using tap water, with the oh out of the tap, and then the ph in the buffering substrate
I have a 10 gallon tank with 50+ blue velvet neocaridina shrimp.
How many did you start out with
5 about 4 months ago
Hey I need help I’m new to the cherry shrimp can you give me some tips I’m planning on keeping them into a 125 gallon tank so pls reply how many shrimp should I start with inside a 125gallon tank and also the 125 gallon tank is lonely so there is nothing in it and I also have a lot of hiding spots and sand on the bottom so yeah help me out
You can add about as many as you want in a tank that size. Could easily house 2000
@@JadrenAquatics great so what type of tank mates is there for cherry shrimp like snails or other shrimps?
You said a dark substrate really makes the colors pop but you never told us what the dark substrate is that you use. I prefer not to use sand because I want to add plants and I heard sand isn’t the jest for plants
I was hoping they would stop breeding considering I have 30 in a 6.6 long tank but I saw that I now have 5 shrimp with eggs and I also have a 2.5 gallon with 40 baby shrimp that I was supposed to put with them since I didn’t think they’d breed anymore so now I have to get a bigger tank 😭
I'd buy some off of you!! I'd pay for shipping of course they're nearly impossible to find where I live :( I'm in Canada
I noticed you had the galaxy tetras do they eat the babies cause I’ve been wanting to put them in my tank
They might pick off a few
Great video
What sponge filter is that?
Hydor V
Hydro V@@JadrenAquatics
can river shrimp breed in aquarium???
That I'm not sure about
Can i combine the shrimps with a betta fish?
SEVER_REVES they usualy eat the shrimp but you can combine a betta with amano shrimp
Use tap water
What kinda snail would you recommend?
Malaysian trumpet for sure
@@JadrenAquatics I was looking into them, I’m just curious to know if they reproduce a lot and if so, how to keep them from reproducing a lot
Caridina or Cardinia?
can cherry shrimp be used for sushi
Yes but you would starve lol
ever use bacter AE
Yep I use it all the time
Why does he have a massive filter in a small tank
I have well water, no chlorine or chloramines.
Fish and shrimp will love your water!
@@JadrenAquatics straight from the tap my gh is 200 ppm, kh is 240 ppm and ph is 7.6. If I filter it, I get about gh is 80 ppm, kh is 140 ppm and ph is 7.2.
just realized that thats not his background
why you have a green screen
Stopped using it a year ago
Car i din a...…...not, car i di nia
its not cardinia, its caridina.
Set up is two words.
Poor English title, poor grammar. Geez!
I'm from Texas what do you expect lol
@@JadrenAquatics
Sorry about that, Jadren. But I thought Texans are very intelligent. Am I wrong?
@@mickcarson8504 Yes, you are wrong. Texans are doing just fine, thank you.
