blue dream are the pale blue ones
@@merlost1624 remineralize of course! I don't think anything can survive in 0 TDS
@@imifumei Well basically my tap water has quite a high GH
@@merlost1624 It is impossible to keep near zero TDS in a planted tank because such tank needs fertilizers, which will increase TDS/EC. What you can have is a planted tank with zero KH and very low GH. But the GH cannot be zero because calcium and magnesium are essential micro-nutrients for the plants. So, you can skip the carbonates, but you cannot skip a small amount of calcium and magnesium. Most plants will actually thrive in low GH and KH environments. Only hard water plants would struggle, but those are a minority in the hobby. If the tank will have livestock then this a different discussion because GH is essential for many species (such as shrimp). There were other very interesting experiments in MJ's list... but this is not one of them ;-)
@@MJAquascaping The TDS is always > 0 because of the fertilisers. Keeping the KH/Alkalinity (carbonates) at zero is not a problem for most plants and livestock. But you will always need to add calcium and magnesium (GH) since these are essential micro-nutrients for the plants and most livestock also needs GH > 0. But for the plants you have in your tanks and the neocaridina, you can keep the KH at near 0 and a GH of ~5. If you do not plan to add any livestock, you could keep the GH around 1... it would work for most plants.
There are four distinct phases of pregnancy in Neocaridina shrimp. the first being that a female shrimp has eggs in her ovaries, also known as a "saddle". The second stage being the movement of the eggs from her ovaries and out of her body. Only to be carefully held onto by her rear legs, and allowed to hang below her belly, also known as "berried" (referred to as they resemble small berries. Here Cherry Shrimp are ready to have a male fertilize their brood.
Third, she is fertilized and the eggs are a bright yellow or green color and she constantly moves them around to keep oxygen and nutrients supplied to the Unborn shrimp, as well as cleaning off bacteria and fungi. Lastly she will hatch her shrimp-lets and release them onto their own Into the Wild as miniature versions of herself.
You're tanks are amazing!!!!! Absolutely love them!!! Super excited about the new twin scape project too......!
Thanks so much!
Great video. Love your tanks! Great video on culling shrimp
I love watching your videos! I’m planning on starting my own tank at my university next year, and your videos are already so helpful. Very glad to see that the shrimp are continuing their generations and doing well. Happy aquascaping🤍
Awesome! Thank you!
Iloveyou megan
Nice tank collection update 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing
You have such great contents, keep it up!💪
Thank you 🙌
Great video mate, culling is important with neos to keep them good.
Thanks Mark!
your aquascaping is so beautiful in all your tanks. I am shocked you don't have more subscribers
Shrimp look great. Really looking forward to the twin scape experiment.
Coming soon!
Beautiful 🤩. Do you use RO water in this tank? Did you did a tds test?
Thank you 🙏!
Love your work and your aquariums
Gorgeous scapes and useful vids, keep it up. I have heard that CO2 tanks have unstable pH and that it affects breeding. Do u have a lot of random deaths in the red shrimp tank or has it been pretty smooth?
I use a 1/2" (13mm) siphon hose to cull my shrimp when I do a water change. I just use my finger over the lower end to stop the flow while I move the hose into place, then I uncover it to sick them up. It's much easier than a net. You have to sneak up behind the bigger ones so they can't escape the flow, but you get the hang of it very quickly.
Hi, nice video. I am confused about DIY CO2, doesn’t it cause problems over night?
I really like your black and brown shelving! Where can I find it?
hi! can i check what is your climate like? i have been trying to grow marsilea minuta either drystart or immersed but they always seemed to die off eventually. am using tropica aqua soil too.
I had a little video idea if you could do your DIY CO2 system vs professional CO2 system
If you don’t mind me asking, what are the lighting parameters you have your Chihiros light set to?
i love the shrimp tank´s , now i try caridina black bees for the first time in my 60p without fish as a breeding tank, hope it will works .
Awesome! Good luck!
The yellow shrimp look amazing. I wonder how they would look in the all-red Valentine's Day tank you did.
That would be cool!
Beautiful lad 👌🏼 going to have 100s running round that tank soon 🙌🏼 them blues seem to go like rabbits 😅
Pensaba que dirías una comida espectacular para realzar colores! Jajaja y es solo selección.... Esta bien! Un saludo!
shrimp are fascinating little creatures. i bought 25 regular cherry shrimp and last week i realized that one of em molt to a yellow. really intrigue to see what collor comes up next.
If you have red cherry or sakura neocaridina then you might offspring that are orange, but it is not possible to have yellow. The yellow neocaridina variety is not derived from the red line or sakura line - this is why yellow and red varieties should not crossbreed. Even if you had a bloody mary (which is also red although it not a red variety shrimp but part of the shoko shrimp line), you could not have any yellow shrimp coming out of this line. Most likely, it is just temporary pigmentation and the colour will return to a reddish tone later.
Nice!
How many oto’s are there in this tank? How many liter is this
Great vid. Do you think the marsilea crenata could work in a low tech set up or would you choose hirsuta ? I like the look a bit better with crenata but I want to chose the one that will do best
Both of them should do okay in low tech, just requires a bit more patience to have a full carpet😊
Great work? May I ask why don’t you have mosquito larva in no filter tank?
Mosquito's are not allowed in my home 😅
The stripe down the back isnt a saddle btw...
How its possible there is no algae in tanks? I have horn snails and i think tiger snail, and everything is covered in algae at some point and black beard as well. Advices? With so have such nice and clean aquarium (amount of plants i got is quite similar to those on video)
Keep up the good work 💪, mark i have a question what do i do if i have blue green algae above my aquasoil?
See if you can siphon it out manually, if not try spot treating with hydrogen peroxide, and as a last resort you can do a 3-4 day blackout.
I personally really like blue green slime remover. Idk what country you’re in but we can buy it easily in the US and it doesn’t damage anything else besides cyanobacteria. Plants, invertebrates, fish, and beneficial bacteria are all fine.
for the shrimplets you could add Bacter AE, improves biofilm growth for them, also shrimp like stable water so either do little water changes or even just 25% once a month, i had most success with that.
Good one! I might still have some Bacter AE somewhere!
In the blue dream tank, is it okay to not having any small pump to push the co2 bubble around? Is the hob filter is enough to push the co2 bubble??
Yeah the flow from the hob filter is good enough!
Hi Mj, why my Monte carpet is melting from the base .its about 6 month old and 2.5 cm in height (dosing- APT COMPLETE AND CO2)
Maybe there is not enough light coming through? 2.5cm is quite thick
What do you do w not so coloured up shrimps or pure coloured ones?
I usually give them away to friends :)
@@MJAquascaping ahh yes great idea
Have you used the chihiros wrgb slim 2? I'm thinking to get one for my 60p tank. Looking for some feedback
Yep I have two of them! Good lights 👍
@@MJAquascaping are they on your small tanks?
@@MJAquascaping I so they look like the chihiros a seriesv2
By the way is it ok if I use Christmas moss and java moss for the dry start method to get moss to cover a rock?
Yes, absolutely
Thanks so much your work inspires me a lot!
do a no Co2 and no filter tank. chop chop
Mj whats your percentage on the chihiros A2
On these small tanks I usually start with 50% and go to max 75%
Where did you get the Shrimp King free samples from? Asking for a friend :P
I have a very useful friend (who might also be working at Dennerle) 😅
@@MJAquascaping That’s super handy!
I finally worked out why my hair grass carpet was doing so horribly, the angle fish where eating it
Really? wow! Yeah angle fish are beautiful, but they can be pigs as well
My Mystery snails uprooted all my dwarf hair grass. Talk about pigs 🐷
When being ugly pays off because your shrimp keeper moves you to a larger house to prevent you from breeding with the good-looking ones.
😅
Your shrimp, its Yellow Golden back Shrimps.. a bit harder to breed.. i dunno why, they might require certain water parameters
Oh thanks for pointing that out! Did not know that.
The yellow golden back line and other "high grade" varieties are the result of an extreme selection process. They are quite far from the wild type neocaridina. This means they are not as genetically diverse as the other lines that are genetically closer to the wild types (such as the sakura, shoko, white, ...) As a result, these high-grade lines are often more sensitive and therefore harder to breed.
Are you applying fertilizer to the shrimp tank?
Yep! Masterline fertilizers
I heard over time the next generations Red cherry shrimp begin to fade and to avoid this you need to bring in new shrimp. And the blue shrimp, on the contrary, darken.
Yeah probably good idea to bring in some ''fresh blood'' once in a while 😊
do what? its only about a plant a filter cleaning and how your thanks look like
least colorful cherry shrimps are male shrimps if i'm not wrong
careful with your co2 it can kill your shrimps
how sht, thought i was watching MD and u scared me by having hair on the head! xD
😅
