This is my 2nd attempt having cherry shrimp in a tank (the 1st ones a failure because i dont have enough knowledge) and so far they have no issues molting plus watching half of em carrying eggs everywhere makes me SO SO happy!
Oh score! Sounds like a win! Congrats
I have one with eggs, my first time with a tank, and its filterless. I just change the water every few days, and seems to be doing well. I started with some small aquatic plants, a lot of bio active substrate, rocks from a local stream (scrubbed thoroughly), some drift wood from the store, and added botanicals later on. Its over a month old now, and i noticed the eggs a couple weeks ago, so i think its going well.
What was mistake in first attepmpt?
@@FishtoryHey 👋.can guppy's eat shrimp baby ??I have shrimp and guppy in the same tank so 🙂
@khanmukta8428 yes guppies will eat some baby shrimp, probably not all of them if you have lots of plants and decor though
I'm new to having an aquarium and to keeping shrimps specifically. But I must be doing something right. Because I have no lack of shedding or pregnant shrimp. It's such a joy to just observe the goings on in my tank for hours on end.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to educate newbies like myself. Your channel has proven to be an invaluable source of information. I finally found a satisfying answer, as to why some of my usually peacefully grazing adult shrimp, turned in to speeding maniacs, racing all through the tank. 😄
SO glad to hear you recommend leaving the exoskeletons in the tank post-molting! It’s something I have always thought to be a bit of a “no-brainer”: shrimp expend a lot of energy and need specific nutrients to molt and regrow their exoskeletons, and they will readily gobble them up after they shed them off! Makes sense since the molts would contain many of the nutrients they need to continue that process, so eating the molts allows the shrimp an opportunity to regain at least a portion of what was lost. It’s crazy to me how many resources say to remove them…
(My snails also will readily consume any shrimp molts they find-I imagine they are also consuming some of those precious minerals/nutrients)
Agreed haha
Very informative. Just started keeping neo's so found this very interesting and most certainly helpful 😊👍
Thank you alex for waking me up at 6 am to learn about shrimp! Love my little shrimpy! I have found 4 from the 20 gallon i got given to me! If the krobia dont get them, ill move them to the 10 and see if they can spawn!
Haha no problem. Thanks for tuning in
i am a dad and having these babies just takes me back to when i was waiting for my own to be born, its so exciting!!
Haha I totally understand that
What shrim eat n how to feed
Great video! Very informative, you had great luck with so many different things going on at once , you captured examples of everything.
Haha thanks! I was waiting to re do the video of the same topic from 5 years ago and last night every type of life stage and clarity of shrimp neo and caridina were hanging out- so I took the opportunity. .
I have a long list of similar stuff I'm always waiting to see for filming
God I'm glad my ovaries aren't in my head. I need that space for my brain.
Great video, Great to see explained changes with the shrimps. Nice and interesting to watch.
Fabulous video, so informative! Thanks so much.
You are very welcome! :)
Thanks you for your great videos. I am completely new to everything aquarium related but having shrimps have been a dream of mine for over 20 years. So having your videos as a reference now that i finally have taken the plunge and dared to get my first aquarium.
Right on! I've got some old videos I wanted to re-do...just for the sake of filming and quality sound
Thanks for the detailed explanation and freely imparted knowledge. Every question I needed answering. Much appreciated.
You are welcome!
This was super informative and helpful! You sure know your shrimp. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Of course! Glad it was of use

This is such a good video. 💚🦐
Thanks
thanks for the info...trying to build my colony
Happily! Good luck
Thank you, that was very insightful, I have to berried shrimps and one that has a saddle, I can now recognise it.
Right on! I think it'll he even more fun and interesting for you now, too!
Recentl started keeping Neos. Your video has been invaluable, many thanks. Every word was informative to me. In many videos I have watched the narrator speaks for so long and imparts nothing of use but still manages to speak 🤬
This is the Best video I have watched on the lifecycle, breeding & general information, thankyou so much. I will be watching it again. Subscribed & looking forward to watching your other videos 👍
Thank you so kindly! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Have a great week!
Just found your channel just amazing I just started my first shrimp tank just over 20 days ago and just found my first berried female soo happy thanks for all the knowledge you share
Welcome aboard! And welcome shrimp parent
Higher Order sounds pretty masonic 😂
Very informative. I always wondered what they were doing when bending their bodies almost circular. I had always thought that they were trying to clean their tails or something. Didn't occur to me that they were actually stretching their ecto skeleton to re-emerge a new . Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it and watched with your observations in mind hehe. Cheers!
This helps soo much I just got some shrimp
Glad to hear it!
Hi Alex, I Love watching your video’s on shrimp. I’ve been keeping Cherry and Rili shrimp since 2015. Probably close or over four years ago I saw your beautiful Blue Dreams and you made me want to have some of my own. I believe I had asked you some questions about them too and you’ve always been very helpful. I’ve had my own now for over three years that I’ve purchased at my lfs that caters to really nice planted scapes too that I got interested in also. I had decided to break down a tank last year and combine all my neocaridina’s into one aquarium with my cpd’s and chili rasbora’s so I have a variety of colored shrimp to red, different shades of blues, green, yellow, stripped shrimp, and to what’s probably considered the “wild” brown shrimp. No more rili though which I thought was interesting. They all bred out! I’m okay with all of that for it was a conscious choice I made because of health issues I had so I did what was best for myself and my animals. Anyway, I rarely comment here but after watching this video today reminded me of how much you got me interested in shrimp and I had learned a lot from you of how to care for them and my adorable little micro fish. Thank you Alex. My aquarium is going strong 7 years later. I use to keep goldfish prior to what I keep now. I was happy to hear that you decided to keep your future video’s shorter. Gives me more time to watch your video’s 😀
Whoa! Well thank you so much ma'am! Reading all this means a whole lot to me. Enjoying the hobby with healthy critters... that's what it's all about! Best of luck to you and your tanks. Stop by and drop a line anytime!
@@Fishtory Thank you Alex. I appreciate it and you. And, you can call me, Cheryl😃
I just got into cherry shrimp I have 8 thank you for info I’ll be rewatching time to time to see what is happening with them 🦐💚🐌
Very cool alex. My blue shrimp has a lot of eggs that are pulsing and so i moved her.
She'll be giving birth soon!
Thank you SO much for making this. I just got into keeping shrimp, did a 20% water change because I had to clean some food up from the bottom that was kinda ick, and not long after I found my first exo! I was worried I'd stressed them out too much or something despite being very very careful about acclimation and not messing with the tank too much while they're adjusting.. even though I have this fantastic hidey I want to put in for them XD But yeah, I was getting a little paranoid, but this helped ease my fears, and now I understand that saddle thing.. a couple of mine have that, ones is HUGE, so she's probably the one that split, not entirely sure. I was told to keep lights dim or off for the first few days by several people, so.. Just trying to make sure my shrimp feel comfortable.
Yeah theyll be fine 🙂 they evolved 600 million years to get this far haha
@@Fishtory That's a fair point, rofl. XD I need toi look at it a bit more like that, I think, because they really do seem to be doing fine, and they LOVE the moss ball (Next week I spend my whole check on plants,lol)
Tank you so much for this info I’m just starting my first fancy shrimp only tank. My choice is the Orange Sakura shrimp. I’d 3 shrimp in a planted 2.5 gallon but I’ve only one left. It’s got a floating and sunken betta log various pieces of marimo moss balls, pieces of Christmas and Java moss. I’ve floating Anubis Nana petite as well. It’s got 2 inches of sand and smooth river stones and sponge filter all from established tanks that ran from one to over 2 years. I’m cycling the aquarium with three juvenile zebra danios so small they’re the size of my thumb nail. One has the long fin genes. 🤗🇨🇦
You can't have a fancy shrimp tank with only three or one shrimp
Subscribed! This is some of the best info I’ve seen about this. I have never had problems keeping Amanos, but my Bloody Mary colony was never very successful. Was down to my last 3 males, so I gave up on BMs and got a couple dozen regular RCS about 3 wks ago. My beautiful boys are happy again, and there are 2 berried females. Several of the RCS are super fiery red! My only regret is I set this tank up 2 yrs ago with Fluval Stratum instead of an inert substrate. 🤦♀️ Maybe why I could never dial my water in just right. So now I use Wonder Shells and a bit of crushed coral and the params are better. The Mystery Snails get Snello with extra calcium, and the shrimpies love that, too. Fingers crossed for some babies soon!
Keep up the effort and you'll get it soon! Thanks for writing in
Also, welcome!
Wow, this is just great. I also made something like this back in my previous vlog but its about leopard gecko instead . love your content, by the way .
Thank you kindly, mate. I'll have to check out your channel! Thanks
Great video as usual, I was wondering at what stage they are actually fertile, I wasn’t sure if it was the saddle or the berried stage 👌🏾👌🏾
It took me asking about 4 professors to find that info haha. You are not alone. Cheers
I have orange cherry shrimp coming in from LiveFins, so I'm taking notes!
Let me know how their shipping price and quality of shrimp is, please!
cool!
Smart little girl shrimps 🍤
Indeeeed!
Jose be Mr. Shrimps
The rilis and raccoon tigers have similar water parameters? They look lovely! I’m too scared to keep neos and cardinas together
Thank you Alex! I seem to have trouble with shrimp so any info I can get I will take. caridina gracilirostris seem to do well for me but I've killed so many neos 😔 thanks for the plethora of information brother hope you're doing well 🤙
I've never kept those ones actually. I'll have to get some if I can find them. And also...no problemo my friend!
@@Fishtory yeah they're pretty rad. If aquatic arts doesn't have them, I found mine on Joe's aqua. They're a couple bucks a shrimp but they sent me a bunch of extras. They seem to be good swimmers lol being very precise in their movements and I think they like to hang out near each other as they move in a group slowly from one side of the tank to the other. Hope you get some soon bro I'd love to see you do a video on them! ✌️
It's always good for me to brush up on things. And anything shrimp related is my cup of tea.
I sure do like those stardust. I do wish Grant or you knew more about them.
I have a question about Malawa shrimp...where on God's good green acres can I find some to buy?
Aquatic Arts has the short nosed algae eaters, but they are not the same. I've been googling around and asking people where can I find these for sale. Nobody seems to know.
Got any ideas? I so wished I lived closer to you.
👍❤👍
So many people want them lately, that I'm gonna be selling about 100 to folks...you'll definitely get priority for sure. I wanted to wait for the Temps to be over 50 and under 90 ideally

Amen. Thank you
Dude seriously?
I had about five or six little blue shrimp that I got from a breeder. I went to a pet store and saw that they had a multicolored shrimp tank. They are a bit more expensive at the pet store so when I saw pregnant females I naturally thought that would be an easy way to get more shrimp. I did not think about the stress on a pregnant mother Changing tanks which I probably should have won't do that again. It has been about a week and a half since I bought the two. one yellow and one red. The red one is very large and looked very pale when I bought it. I actually saw it shed the other night which made me very excited Not only because my tank is apparently okay but also because I figured it Would look brand new. But it still has some paleness like a white overcoat. And i'm starting to wonder if they actually are pregnant, or if that is just how they look. Wish I could post a pic but I don't see an option for that. It looks very much like the large dark red one in your video though. Will a large, very dark red shrimp look pregnant all the time?And also do older shrimp get a more faded. Look even after shedding?
Facebook group for fishtory... we can help you there asap :)
First thing i thought when my female shrimp had a saddle was like: my shrimp has a tumor?? I was so scared. this video helped me. Now i know she's ready😅
Congratulations on the grandkids lol
Awesome video ❤ how long is the female good for breeding?
How can you make new colors of neocaridina shrimp like purple or pink lol
So they spawn from 6 months old to 3 years old as a general rule of thumb.... 3/4ths of their life span, approximately.
Also i have lots of videos on how each color shrimp was made. Neocaridina genetics or color lines @fishtory in the search box should bring up the videos for yuh :)
School is in session❤
Do you know who has Malawa shrimp for sale? I can’t find any😩 they’ll be my first Caradina, hoping to bring back some TTs or CRs from Aquashella Dallas in August
Aquatic arts sometimes ... but I'll be selling some in about 3 or 4 weeks when if warms up at night a bit more
Nothing about if they lay eggs...how long till they hatch .?
Hoping my cherries breed , cant wait for babies
Always exciting times :)
Hi, I saw you had cherrys and Rili's together, can they breed together and not produce browns? I have been keeping them in separate tanks. Any advice would be ace. :)
Yeah they can be together it's just a recessive clear chitin phenotype/gene that causes rilis..so you can keep them with base colors that are the same. The only problem, is it reduces the number of rilis over time...so if you don't mind ending up with all red shrimp one day...it's okay
What a great video! I’ve got a bit of a problem in one of my shrimp
Bowls that I’m hoping you can help with- i have blue velvets and red cherries in two separate bowls (no filter no co2) both bowls had berried shrimps that gave birth at the same times - and in my red bowl they’re doing great, two batches of babies in the last couple of weeks and they’re growing well. But in the blue bowl, I’ve not seen Any of the babies at all in days! Two batches of babies and I can’t see any. I’ve just had a third shrimp give birth jn the blue bowl a couple of days ago, and I can still see a few babies swimming around (less than the last couple of days though) but I have no idea what is wrong. Any suggestions what i should look out for that could cause a problem?
Maybe buy some "bacter AE" (Through Aquatic Arts if you want 15% off... SECRET15 Code) but Amazon or wherever has it too... add a pinch of that and it'll encourage more biofilm/protein and vitamins for the baby shrimp. It could be that...also blue shrimp tend to have less babies for some odd reason too. (Inbreeding perhaps)... just give them time also, many times some lines grow slower and they'll randomly appear after a month or 2 of seeing very few . Best of luck to you!
@@Fishtory just ordered some online, thank you for the suggestion! Hopefully this will help the next batch of babies that are due soon.
My local Hackettstown pet supply store and is going to retire soon I'm so sad because after 30 years of business I don't know why he's going to shut his local shop down I love his fish I've been going there for years for myself my parents friends family helping them with their fish tanks and he just recently started carrying cherry shrimp and now I'm a first-time dad of like 30 cherry shrimp babies

Probably just topping Off honestly. That's a decent amount from the get go. Maybe feed shrimp specifically tailored fish food. With calcium, only if you notice any failed molts in the first 6 months
@@Fishtory alright bet bro thanks, I have kept ghost shrimp alive in my tank so hopefully it’s all good, got one berried female and so hyped
How do you supply the Kh and Gh?
Crushed coral
already knew a lot of this info (not a bad thing) but i did not hear about the different markings symbolizing that they’re older!! i’ve been keeping a mixed tank of Neos for like three months and the last two months they’ve been doing AMAZING. had two give birth in the last three weeks and another that’s pregnant right now. anyway, a few of mine have those “pale” or more “washed out” colors on their backs and i always wondered if they were OKAY or if there was something bad but i had no idea how to even go about finding out haha. VERY good to know!! thank you for the refresher on some info an sharing your knowledge with us!
i do have one question that i’ve been wondering as well. if a female that is saddled doesn’t get fertilized/pregnant, does it negatively affect them at all? or do they just shed again and then try to get pregnant all over? i haven’t noticed that it was bad so far, but i have mostly females atm and i just want to make sure all my girls get to be mamas and that it wont harm or hold them back in anyway.
also what are the parameters of this tank you’re showing? it’s really cool that you’ve managed to keep Neos and Caridinas in the same tank! i know it’s possible but usually one does better than the other. just curious cus they all seem to be very happy!!!🥰
So this tank is about 100 tds with brightwell soil and about a quarter cub of crushed coral/shells scattered in the substrate for a slight buffer. Then a few leafs are added a year and lots of floating plants that get tossed as they grow every week or two (safety against nitrates).
Great question about the saddled females too! So they will simply discard the eggs If they are very mature females, by laying them and often eating them again...or in younger shrimp they'll absorb the nutrients before the saddle has visible little spheres of eggs. It doesn't seem to harm them, from my experience.
@@Fishtory Hi, I have a female shrimp that is making her appearances again and coming up to the front of the tank to say hi to me. She was very pregnant/berried and holding her babies the last time I saw her. I could see their little eyes. Now that I see her coming out in the open part of the tank I see that she is no longer pregnant. But, I don't see any newborn shrimp babies hanging out in the tank. I only have shrimp in the tank, and one tiny newborn (about two weeks old) molly fry. The tank is well established with biofilm. Maybe she had a late term miscarriage? Maybe the babies are hiding in the back of the tank behind the plants where she stayed at while pregnant and I just can't see them yet? She seems like she is doing ok, but I don't know if I can say the same for her babies. The other shrimp all seem happy and healthy and active. Should I do a thorough search in the tank for them? Are the babies dead?
Wow, do you keep all the same type/colors of shrimp in the same tank?
Im two blocks away from the Beach
Is there anything good that I can get from the sargassum to fed my🐠
Kelp!
Wow! How are you able to keep caridina and neocaridina in the same tank?
Magic! No, it's just setting the tank to the caridina needs and with a good diet the neos will adjust fine
@@Fishtory Thanks Alex. I keep getting smarter and smarter watching your videos! 🤓 seriously though, thank you for all your hard work.
You have multiple kinds of shrimp in the tank, the yellow, cherry, etc, do they cross breed? And do their offspring like anything special? I was thinking of multiple colors but to beware of crossbreeding
Hey Alex, I was wondering if I should wait on water changes when my shrimp are berried. I have only 4 cherries in a 1 gallon no filter vase and I have my first berried shrimp. I don’t want to make her change her exoskeleton and lose her eggs. Thank you!
Yeah I would in a small container like that. Then she can also eat some of her exo. If she's low on any minerals...if she doesn't eat it at all, then you'll know your water has all the nutrients she could need. Best of luck my friend!
How can you do a water change in a 1 gallon tank? I'm imagining the miniscule amount of what are you would have to take out literally like a cup LOL
Speaking of female care, do you have any advice on how to safely move shrimp without stressing them much? I'm thinking I might lower the water level down to very low and not take them out and move the tank carefully to the back seat of the car. It'd take a lot of effort to catch all my shrimp since there's so many of them and I'm also moving cities.
Yes that's how I would do it...remove any stuff that will shift or could smush them, then just move it with 10% or 20% of the water if it's a 20g or less
@@Fishtory so glad to read this im about to move my five gallon with a berried shrimp thanks so much for this info
Neat! Aren’t you concerned that they will interbreed, leaving you with brown wild-type shrimp?
So only the red ones are neocaridina. The others are all seperate caridina species :)
@@Fishtorythey can still interbreed and leave you with brown shrimp
You sound exactly like Corey Feldman 😉
Haha I'll take it!
How long do they stayed berried? I have 3 females that have been berried for at least 2 weeks & ive been wondering when the fry will hatch.
& do the fry hatch on her & then she puts them in a safe place or does she drop off the fertilizer eggs in the safe place & then they hatch? TIA!
Yeah, no worries! So they usually hold the eggs / "berries" for 3.5 to 5 weeks depending on water temp (warmer waters speeds this up, and cool water along with poor nutrition can reduce the speed). Then they literally hatch the eggs right from their belly. The babies consume their shell and "yolk sac", then they unfold and fling off like Miniature versions of mom, already nearly fully formed, but tiny. Then mom usually hides for around a week...she will shed again and have a soft exoskeleton for 3 to 5 days and so she will lay low to avoid becoming some predator's meal.
The babies also will hide for 2 to 4 weeks...then out of nowhere they'll start appearing on the glass and hardscape to graze for algae more publicly.
I hope this helps! Have lots of fun, take some upclose photos and enjoy your shrimp! -best wishes, Alex
Thank you so much for the info Alex!! That’s super helpful! Appreciate all your knowledge!
Where did you meet in the middle to have those Tangerines living with your Neo's? I'm talking parameters.
I breed Neo's and Bee shrimp, Tigers. PH , GH, KH much different. My Caridinas can't have any carbonates at all. PH needs to be highly acidic compared to Neo's. GH is the only thing I can see would be the closest.
I might get away with my Neo's living with 6 gh same as Caridinas. However,I keep them at 4. TDS highly different. 100ppm difference.
Obviously you've figured it out. I genuinely would like to know how you did it?
So I keep everything in there around 100 tds (top offs with RO water) using brightwell soil and about 3 tablespoons of crushed coral for ph buffering.
It works out to gh of 5 or 6 and a kh of 4 usually temp of 74.f.
These were bred by grant Eder of Garden of Eder Shrimp, in Florida municipal water and he bred all his lines from scratch/base stock of each line and its taken 8 years to make most lines even with like 700+ gallons of little tanks all over.
Long story short, he's bred some extremely sturdy shrimp that can tolerate neutral waters
If you wanna buy anything from tgoeshrimps.com you can also get 10% off with Secret10 discount code
I keep and breed neocaridinia in 0KH, 2gH. They do great. You need to feed them minerals if the gH is low. Neo can happily live in ANY pH… 5.5 to 8.5 no problem as long as they are acclimated properly.
sup man hope all is good. red eyed and chipper here. what conditions r perfect for these to thrive? would love to set up a 10 gallon to mess with!
depends on the type (Neo/Caridina) and where you get them from. in this video he has a mixed tank but generally Neocaridina and Caridina should be kept in different conditions. i suggest looking into different sources, whether it be just a normal pet store, online, whatever. ASK THEM what they keep their shrimp at. i know common pet stores only use R.O water and do NOT mineralize it. i myself also get some from a “mom and pop” store and they also do this so i have a feeling most stores don’t remineralize the water. ask them and if they don’t remineralize, i still suggest that you still get a product called “Salty Shrimp KH & GH+” also get a TDS meter, and a GH/KH test kit. you’ll want to make sure your tank has a bio filter so if you don’t want to wait to get it going (like me) i also would recommend getting something like “Fritz Turbostart700” because a little goes a long way and that is the best live bacteria. i’m not sure if you’re well educated on the nitrogen cycle, i would assume so but if you are not then DEFINITELY look into that because that’s more than i can explain here. but once your tank is cycled you will want to add the Salty Shrimp powder in your tank with RO water to a TDS of 200-300. i personally keep mine around 200-250 but they can usually be kept between 200-400. IF the source you plan on getting them from keeps them at a different TDS then obviously make yours the same as theirs but also keep in mind the tank(s) they have them in. TDS is ALL of the dissolved solids, so that could even be food remnants or things of that nature so just keep that in mind! you’ll want to check your GH and KH and for Neocaridina shrimp make sure those levels are between Gh: 7-15 and for Kh: 2-8. a higher KH will help keep the PH stable as well so as long as it’s in that range it’s good, but the higher side of the range is ideal. once the tank is cycled, you’ve checked those parameters, and they’re in the good range you are ready to buy them and acclimate them! you’ll want some airline tubing, an air flow control valve, a clip for the tubing, and something to put the shrimp in while you acclimated them. i use a one gallon washed out ice cream container and it usually isn’t too big. you can also buy a kit already made from Flip Aquatics, they actually have all of the stuff that i bought so they’re a good online source. Flip Aquatics also has some good videos on acclimating and any other shrimp necessities. but make sure when you acclimate you do it SLOW! about one drop per second and do it until they have at least double the water. water changes might be needed more often in the beginning but make sure you do SMALL water changes (bout 10% or so,) and when you’re adding new water also do it SLOW, i usually do about a half a gallon at a time (i have a 20g High) unless the TDS isn’t changing too much. shrimp can go into TDS shock which is why it’s extremely important to acclimate slowly and to mineralize and also add new water slowly and you’ll want to keep checking the TDS as you do those. i’m still pretty new to the hobby but now that my tank has been going for a few months i’ve picked up on some things and feel like i understand them pretty well. i hope any of this info has helped you!!
Yeah this is a little tank 5 gallons and they're in 100 tds 4kh and 5 or 6gh ph of 6.8 and temp of 74f
@@tiny_m0wu hmmm ok...... you do a bunch of things WAAAAAY extra
@@justinclement5417 yeah that’s why literal professionals give this information lmao. you clearly abuse your animals if you don’t follow even close to those guidelines. good luck with your brain rot. i’m sure it’ll keep you alive very long .. lmfaooo not.
Great info!!! But eye colour isn't random... just like all traits, they are based on dominant and recessive genes.... ♡
Yes, true..
I just meant that its hard to know...its probably dominant and codominant genes maybe 2 or 3 involved and not just one set of genotypes in neos...however in caridina it is
What kind of shrimp was the clear one with spots?
That is a stardust ...they are not sure of which wild shrimp they are though.
@@Fishtorywho is they?
We’ve had success growing our colony and even had over 70 in our tank. We started loosing several at a time suddenly so checked the water parameters and found high nitrates. So we started doing daily water changes and even tho the parameters were good, we have continued loosing them. We are now down to 4, one of which is pregnant. I’m so concerned the babies won’t survive. Can you help me figure out what is going on and what we can do to stop these deaths? We are desperate and so sad we’ve lost almost all our colony. Thank you for your videos!
So glad to hear it! Great work and good luck!
@@Fishtory no… it’s not a success story! Read my post plz. what I explained was that we suddenly started losing shrimp after a healthy colony had been established. I am now down to one pregnant shrimp so hoping she will have a baby soon and they will survive. I just need to get some help to find out why we lost them all but one so far!
@@gigismith5675dude you can't do daily water changes. That's crazy talk
@@justinclement5417 "DUDE" I had read where you should do that if the nitrates had spiked which it did. Saying it's "Just crazy talk" is not helpful. It's better to make suggestions that are helpful - not rude. My mother always said if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all... maybe consider that. Have a nice day!
4:27 "if it folds much more than what you're seeking"... then what? Lol
Lol
I have a berried shrimp that seem to be struggling. She isn't very active, and she is even laying on her back at times. Is it possible she's going to molt?
Probably not . Usually they only molt after having their babies... unless you see a clear line around her shoulder area where her shell is split... it doesnt sound very good. Have you zoomed in with a camera phone and checked if she has little white hairs or crystal looking stuff on her? The only thing i can think of is the parasite Skutalaris ( Skootilarus?) japonica ...which is irritating and theyll twist and turn to scrape them off...usually starting on their nose and rostrum
@@Fishtory I haven't seen any little white hairs on her. Her exoskeleton colour looks patchy. There's a colourless band where her abdomen meets her cephalothorax on the underside.
You have some of the best video topics ones no one else is covering at all. But the rambling video format makes it almost impossible to get the information im looking for from the video. If you structured and scripted your narration your channel would probably be the best one CZcams
The deep dives are scripted, but half are the rambly type....and all my old videos
