New Paludarium Fish & Blue Dream Shrimp

- It's finally time! Let's get those LRB Blue Dream Shrimp into their new home! I've been letting this tank cycle and I had to move it to a new location, so I took my time with all of this. That's one of the things I always advocate too, take your time! There's no rush for any of this and generally things will turn out better if you take your time. Anyways after about three months I'm so glad to finally have these shrimp in their new home.
As for the White Cloud Mountain Minnows in the Fire-Bellied Toad paludarium, they are doing quite well. Like I said in the video, this practice should be done at your own discretion, so I can't advocate it per say. However, under the right conditions it can work and I know a lot of others have had success with this as well. Just don't say I didn't tell you so if you try it and things don't work out for you. Regardless I'm glad that I gave it a try and really hope it works out long-term. They add a whole new dynamic to the setup that is really enjoyable.
Stay tuned for updates on both of these and some upcoming project that I mentioned in the video!
I know a lot of you are going to want to see what light I was talking about in the video. This is just a cheap LED shop light. If you're on a tight budget or just want something inexpensive, this appears to be a descent solution. They've been working pretty well for me, especially considering the price.

Also Lucas Bretz filmed few videos while he stopped by the animal room. I'll leave a link to his channel an those videos below. I'd recommend checking out those videos if you want to see some fish nerds talking tank!

What do you think about the blue dream aquarium? Also what type of fish would you house with these shrimp long-term? I want to let the colony grow out for a few months, but I will add fish down the road. Let me know! 👇
I wouldn't add any fish. Just let that shrimp colony grow.
Maybe some honey gouramis? Like blue and yellow contrasting with zebra stones.
I love your tanks so much thanks for your videos :)
Is your black water tank getting more tanin later? I saw roibos tea is very cool to get tanin and it’s good for the fishes too.
I think those rocks work well with the shrimp. Maybe MosqiIto Rasbora as tank mates.
I could watch your videos all day. So beautiful, natural and relaxing
I have 3 amanos and I keep 2 otos with them.
You were right about the zebra stone - the shrimp really do contrast beautifully against them. It’s a gorgeous tank.
Thank you very much! I'm glad that you like the choice that I went with. I knew it would be a good choice. 😉
Madi w Right?! It really does make them pop.
Madi w yes it is.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this already so I apologise if I'm repeating.
Frogs and toads don't produce their own poison, they get it from the insects that they eat. Therefore, unless they are recently wild caught, they are not poisonous. They might eat the fish but any other "mixed results" (I assume that means fish deaths) are down to health/water quality/feeding issues.
Excellent set up and video it's the 1st time I've been to your channel but I'm definitely going to be back!
I can't lie, I'm as impressed by the furniture you built as I am the setups. Really inspiring to see someone build that in their garage. Good stuff.
Right? Prolly quarries his own aggregate. lol
Tanner, Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge and talent! You inspired me to start my build in a 54 gallon Corner tank. I have been told over and over not to do a water feature, but your Fire belly Toad Paludarium is exactly what has me still going that direction, and the fact that it is currently working with the Minnows in the tank gives me hope for what I am trying to do. Your videos have inspired me to chase this dream I have had since I was a little kid, and I truly cannot thank you enough for that!
That's awesome Mike! I hope you have the best of luck with your build!
looking great man. Keep up the great work!
Wow
🤩
The shrimp tank is looking amazing, they really pop against the zebra stone. Some fancy guppies could both contrast and co-ordinate with the shrimp, maybe with blue and red tails. I love the addition of the white fish into the toad’s tank, they really add movement and interest.casper is looking really happy in his new set-up, and it has a dramatic look from the wood arcs. You definitely have the right touch for making these show their denizens at their best. Very informative as well regarding the adjustment of water for the shrimps. You have the perfect meditation area right there, and your shelving ties it all together perfectly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips with us.🖤🇨🇦
For Fire Bellies try duckweed. If you look at the markings on the back ( especially around the head and neck) of the toads you will probably notice little bright green flecks. I believe that fire bellies evolved this pattern to mimic duckweed. Duckweed is indigenous to all of China.
Cheers,
Chris
I was thinking a combination of that and frogbit. I think both will elevate the aesthetic. 👀
A few months ago I also set up a nano tank for some blue shrimp, but I just wasn't able to find them in my area for a reasonable price. Then I saw some rasbora masculata in the fish store and bought them instead of shrimp. I'm now totally in love with those little fish!
I think the toads only "lose" the toxin in their skin when threatened so i don't think that will be a problem in the water. Love the enclosure of the toads! It looks like a mini wonderland!
I really enjoy your editing. Your videos are very relaxing and visually stimulating. Thanks for the time and content.
Thank you I appreciate your comment!
Awesome video. I am very happy that you rescued some White Cloud Minnows. They are one of my favorite fish, and while I know feeder fish are a necessary thing I am always happy to see them get a chance at a good life.
I love the shrimp tank, the "island" in the middle with plants growing on and around it is a good original way to arrange it, and it looks fantastic.
I really love the zebra stone in the blue dream shrimp aquarium! It really adds an awesome pattern and color to the tank. Awesome job!
Isn't it great?! I knew it would be a good choice for this one.
Two Fish I used to keep that I never see anyone use are ghost catfish and marble hatchets. Both are fun to keep and would look great.
Loved this immensely, thanks very much for sharing all your skills!😊
You truly have a gift my friend. The environments you create are stunning. As always thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the mini updates in the videos. I like the format
Your videos are amazing. Your step by step instruction is so clear and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing. Wally
I love how you built your focal point at the center with the zebra rocks and the plants around them, beautiful.
Gorgeous, everything. Your aquariums and terrariums 😍
Another great video! It’s clear how much time and effort you put into this, pretty phenomenal. Looking forward to watching all three of these set ups during the months ahead.
Great add for pallidarium. Thinking your extensive plant collection is helping mitigate any poison leaching from frogs. Either way, cool to see it being done!
Great video. Enjoyed both setups. Looking forward to the next aquarium build.
My wife and I love your channel. You’re doing awesome!
i hear crickets in your voice over recording. true passion here, love the gram, love the channel.
Love the toads. I have three myself. Its always good to see more of them.
I never comment on videos but just wanted to say I love what you are doing. I really look forward to your videos to start my Saturday in the right mood. Educational and informative - it really shows the regular hobbyist that amazing tanks are achievable. Keep it up, and keep being you :)
A lil tip my great grandma showed me. Poke holes in a bottle and you can do the same the water will not move the gravel or sand as much if at all.
Great video 👍 the shrimp are beautiful and their environment suits them perfectly. Can’t wait to see what you do with the aquarium beside it
The white clouds look gorgeous against that background!!
Very nice! Those toads are cool! The shrimp are pretty nice too :P Thanks for the shout out!
Any time man! Thanks for the shrimp as well. I'm going to have to get some others from you eventually. 😉
Happy New Years 🎆 loved the video. Congratulations on it all. Can’t wait to see this all unfold 👍🏼
New subscriber over here, could you do more budget videos? I saw one where you had a budget of $75.
I feel like it would be great if you did more of those :)
Have you seen his native plant video? They're from a few months/years ago, I'd recommend watching those. It's "how to make a terrarium" series... I really like #3
That was a one off thing he was doing. The only other budget terrerium of his that comes to mind off the top of my head is the native terrarium, simply because it is made of things he picked in his local area. Not that he always spends a ton of money on every set up or anything, it just isn't the focus of the videos. He does keep his own populations of moss, insects, and substrate on standby which likely cuts his costs a lot, plus he buys some things in bulk, but that is not ideal for someone that just wants to build a couple things and then stop. The channel mainly focuses on trying new things in the hobby and encouraging people to get creative with the resources they have.
Well said!
Not sure if you saw this one, but you can do this build for free. czcams.com/video/KR2Lo0rOF7g/video.html I will be doing more budget builds in the future though, so stay tuned!
@@PredictableEnigma ohh, I understand. I've recently become really interested in this stuff and since I'm new to this and the fact that I'm a student, I don't have a lot of extra money, hence the budget video was helpful. :)
Alright now it's the ultimate fire belly toad paludarium for sure.
Excellent job on the video. The tanks all look amazing, and I'm really excited to see what you have in store for the other 10 gallon tank.
Everything looks great, vibrant and lively. I'm sure that the FBT are enriched by the presence of the minnows. I hope they will all thrive in that environment. Love the name Casper for the Betta and those shrimp in his tank are very fun to watch. Love the blue shrimp too, such a cool color. Can't wait to see who else you add to that tank!
Thank you! I'm optimistic about it all, but time will tell. 😁
Genuinely love watching your content. Have been watching your videos for a long time, and love your newest stuff! Please keep it up from an original fan!!!
Love seeing little shrimps :)
Please do a videos just about them :)
Your work is amazing.... so gorgeous.
i love love love the fish in the paludarium
Your house is the paradise in which I have always dreamed of living! Amazing video!!
You channel is very relaxing. It always helps me after work.
Very cool. Really enjoy your creative homes for your creatures Great and small. ✌
I’m looking forward to your videos every week, keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Oh yeah! Best way to ease into the weekend right here. Can’t wait to see the outdoor pond come spring time. I appreciate everything you do Tanner, happy new year brotha man!
Happy new year to you too! I am also very excited about the pond. Big plans for it!
SerpaDesign sweet! Do you think you will get more goldfish, and grow them out prior? I’m really interested, as I plan to do the same. Anyway thanks for your reply.
I'm going to buy ones that are already of decent size. I'm not trying to take up any more real estate indoors with them.
Love the tetras and the shrimp! Looks so pretty
Very beautiful those thee tanks! Love the shrimps. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
You are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for your videos.
What a gorgeous tank! Low key making me want to restart a shrimp tank again
Awesome, as always! You inspired me to start building my own closed terrariums and even a Paludarium,so thank you for the inspiration and keep it up!
Glad I could steer you in the right direction.
Dang , those some nice shrimps ! looks nice!
That tank looks great
These tanks are inspiring! I'd love to try a blackwater tank in the future. For the shrimp tank, maybe red arc pencilfish? Theyre striking and fun to watch.
Might be a good option for sure! I'll keep it in mind once I go down that route.
You make it look so easy!! You are very talented my friend! Keep up all the great work and be careful if you ever move a tank again with substrate and rocks...that's not recommended and is very risky but with caution really not a big deal , turned out great tho I love the stand!!
Not my first rodeo moving a tank full of stuff. Been doing it for as long as I've been keeping animals. 😉
I know this is 2 years old but in Canada at our local pet stores, I bought some white clouds and they were almost $3 each to hear you got them for 20 cents is nuts !
Betta’s favorite food is shrimp... I feed it to mine and he is crazy in it....
Gorgeous Tanner!
I just found this channel and have watched so many videos even though I really should be asleep! Now I'm totally wanting a collab between you and Mikey Bustos. Between your aquariums and his ant habitats it's like getting to see a bit of spring during the winter and picks up my spirits!
This is what I watch I'm the middle of the night
Nice looking tank
I love your aquarium videos!!
oh god, I love the paludarium... it's a beauty
You did get fish for the FBT! Nice!
Also, ember tetras would work out nice
I have NOOOOO idea where my notification for this one went! Regardless, loooved this vid I actually thought it was easily one of your best so far. The updates were fantastic and I love the Fire Bellied Toad tank. I hope the Minnows are happy in it. As for the Dream Shrimp, well they have a Dream home!!
I found your channel recently! Amazing content, -new fan!
Great tank. 😄👍
Subscribed. Your videos are pretty informative and very well edited. You deserve more subs
You’re such a perfectionist. I love it.
A good curse to have mist of the time. 😶
Great video, as always. IMHO slow drip is the absolute key to shrimp keeping. I even do slow drip on my infrequent water changes. For new shrimp I use a 24 hour drip! Sounds crazy, I know, but it works for me.
Cheers,
Chris
Never hurts to be too cautious, so I get it for sure!
gorgeous work as always! the white clouds in the toad tank were a lovely idea imo. most poisonous animals lose their toxicity in captivity as with poison darts. this may not be the case for toads but i think the fish will be alright, especially since you have observed the snails doing fine and breeding.
It's so pretty!
Shrimp are really exciting. I love how they seem content to be busy as heck. Do they sleep? Casper looks really happy, and those minnows bring that paludarium to a whole new level of magical. Have to say it's fun as someone who works at the orange depot to "spot the product", seeing it used by a skilled DIYer is the icing on the cake for me.
I go to the depot at least once a week, that's my place! As for the shrimp I'm sure they do sleep, but I haven't observed it before.
Always look forward to your videos. All the tanks look great .I have had guppies in my fire bellies paludarium for years snails and green neos also no ill effects. I just got some blue neos from Lrb in today, B team also no A left lol. Thanks for the great videos.
Good to hear that you've had success with it! It seems like the few minority have had bad results. Also glad that you got some of those shrimp!
looks great T!!
Looks good and diverse
Man i don't like fish tanks but you made me love them!!!!
Love all of you Tanks! Amazing!
Thank you so much! 🙇♂️
The toad tank has to be your coolest one
It looks so good
Some mini puffers would be wonderful for that fire belly road tank!!!
Your content is really cool, keep it up!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Make an aquarium with floating looking islands like the ones in the avatar movie. Use deferent live plants to decorate it. Use one or 2 of the smaller Islands to act as supports. (Doesn't actually have to float).😀
Great vids as always!
Your beta swims a lot!! Mine (he's healthy don't worry) floats about alot, even in a 5 gal
Nice update, as far as keeping fish with shrimp, the only fish that don't predate mine are chilli rasboras, there tiny and the red would work well with the blue of the shrimp
That's exactly what I was thinking tbh. Extra small and as you suggest, a complementary color scheme.
@@SerpaDesign I find that even endler live bearers even predate on shrimp given the opportunity. Narrow can be cruel at times...
Just discovered your channel. Grade A production quality and love the detail. Would hate to see your electric bill but can’t put a price on passion
That betta tank you made has me wanting a betta and I don’t even keep fish. Maybe it’s time to get into the hobby
I've had good luck breeding white clouds and found their generally easy with spawning mops or plenty of moss as their egg scatters
in my opinion, it is a good thing to give your toads something to hunt. its int heir instincts and prevents them from becoming bored/ lethargic.
I'm with you. I always stock with crickets and other critters as well. Since the tank is so planted it takes them awhile to eat everything about thus can satiate their hunting instinct. 😉
Wow really nice
You have a lot of nature in your house. Your aquariums and terrariums look very nice though.
I love your videos 😯
God your channel has aged like fine wine
Great video! Keep it up
Whoop whoop 200k you hace hit man
Awesome sauce!
That cheap lamp is working good because Lumes are nice and high most plants beginner can get use 10-20 LM and Med are 20-40. Advance Plants are 40+ 3500 LM is pretty awesome ^^ Just to note Fluval 2.0 is only at 2.350 LM so nice find Serpa :)
I was stoked when I read up on the specs and couldn't believe it was so cheap.
@@SerpaDesign I know! let's hope they don't catch on
Exactly, that's the main downside with these cheaper lights. Not sure I've noticed growth much better with a full spectrum tbh though. I'm sure it does, but to what extent?
Unsure what benefit full does i just buy cheap timer i don't need blue tooth
Looks gorgeous 🌱❤️
