  • With 24 x 125 gallon aquariums, 35 x 100 gallon ponds and over 200 aquariums, Flip Aquatics is the largest online retailer of freshwater shrimp in the United States. Since 2014, we have worked hard to not only raise the standard in our hobby but set the standard. In today's video, I wanted to kick of 2020 with a video showing the state of Flip Aquatics today. We go over our new building, every fish room we have and even touch on the 480 gallon aquarium. What is your favorite part? Let me know in the comments down below.

    Dude bro. Do you have any idea how much you have inspired me? I know time flies by but your energy has truly opened up my eyes to what's possible, in what feels such a short amount of time.
    PS: I have been in the hobby for over 15 years. Started with 2 Oscars in a 55 but didn't have it long. Got a fluval edge for free 6 or 7 years ago with just 1 cherry shrimp I pulled all the soil out rinsed it and the thing still managed to survive.
    Appreciate you and what you're bringing to the US.
    True Inspiration!

      @kasperaquatics Pƙed 4 lety

    Hello, mate. In your earliest videos you prefer a filter pool sand for the substrate. Now, as I can see - you are using another type of substrate - bigger fraction. What is this substrate? Is there any reason to change a substrate? And if so - what it is? You still using a HMF, I may bet this is the perfect biological filtration.

    @The_Sear Pƙed 4 lety

    If you had a water tank/reservoir big enough for all your tanks, you can condition tap water with prime SAFE, wait for 3 days or until all the bubbles evaporated. This is been extra careful with completely neutralizing chlorine for water changes, top offs, and setting up new tanks. To me Losing one shrimp is already losing too many shrimp, unless they're old.
    This is has helped me not lose any shrimp and they grow big much faster.
    Hopefully this will help you not lose any more shrimp if you want to be extra careful with tap water.

    I have few questions, I hope I get a reply from you, I am Debjeet from "Royal Aquascaping" I have a small CZcams Channel also đŸ€­.
    Questions:-
    1. What type of soil you are using, what is the thickness of soil and what type of filter is that?
    2. What you feed them ?
    3. How often you change the water ?
    4. What is the reason of black background?
    Thank you for uploading this video.

    • @fishy_vinny
      @fishy_vinny Pƙed 3 lety

      So I know I'm not them but I know the answers:
      1: They use Brightwell Rio Escuro-F and have about 1/2--1" of soil. The filter is called a matten filter, it is better in most cases than a sponge filter because it has 4 times the amount of surface area of a sponge filter.
      2: They feed a variety of foods to the shrimp like: Shrimp King 5 in 1, Bacter AE, Mineral Junkie, Shrimpfit, Shrimp Dinner, Shrimp Baby, several shrimp lolly flavors etc.
      3: Do a 10% water change every 3-4 weeks if the tank is shrimp only.
      4: The black background makes the colors of the shrimp and even fish pop and makes plants look better.

    Heya Rob!!
    Listen, I want to add a wavemaker to my 10 gallon planted shrimp tank (don't laugh) however, I can't seem to find any videos on the best kind for such a small tank, or a shrimp tank in general. I've got smile.amazon up in another tab looking through them but the designs are REALLY spooking me simply for the fact that they all look like shrimplet meat grinders. No bueno. I need more circulation in the tank but am coming up empty on wavemaker/powerheads that would be appropriate not only for my size but for shrimp specifically. I only keep invertebrates but all the videos I'm finding are geared towards fishkeepers. Any suggestions from yourself OR the comment section? Thanks y'all!
