- In this video we set up 6 275 gallon Ibc totes for out door neocaridina shrimp breeding set ups. We use Samurai Soil as our substrate and Brightwell products to get the cycle started.

Excellent info man. Its hard to find a back yard set up on youtube thats not over seas. I'll be studying your info and getting in touch next spring. I'm interested in a setup only for family food not to sell.
2:21 funny watching tipping of IBC with 1” PVC in way on top…looks like all my job sites!
What an impressive setup.
Brilliant work bro! Much respect from Italy
thank you!
Thanks for the video! I'm curious about adding substrate to a setup like this. I can see where substrate is beneficial because it adds more surface area for beneficial bacteria, improving cycle stability and food availability. BUT it seems like the substrate would also make it harder to catch and see certain shrimp, and it could also trap food and make the tank more difficult to clean. It also adds an additional expense. Are there any pros/cons I'm missing here?
Substrate is 100% needed for the shrimp to color up otherwise they will wash out just like in barebottom tanks
@@thegardenofeder Good point! I was under the impression a lighter background led to condensed pigmentation, but not less. If that were the case, then the pigment should spread out quickly when transfered from white to black but that doesn't seem to be the case. This study supports what you said in suggesting they actually accumulate and store more pigment on darker backgrounds. Interesting to see some sellers like flip aquatics use bare-bottom white tanks if that is the case. Thanks!

Ive been buying shrimp from you for years and i had no clue tou had a channel or a video showing your process. Good job and amazing shrinp
Well I am glad you found our channel , thank you for watching!
Very impressive setup!, What kind of shrimp are you raising? Where do you purchase the fryer?
We breed neocaridina outside. What fryer?
Ironic that the first time I watch this video, yall have another hurricane making landfall. Florida, right 🤷♂️ Hope yall aren't getting it too badly.
Do you always wait until a tank is cycled to add substrate? I assumed you would add it when putting it together to let the biofilm develop on the substrate as well.
Hurricane cleared us thankfully! no we usually add substrate first
What kind of tanks are those? Looking to have a small setup at home for food. Do you have any books or resources you recommend for starting out.
IBC totes and everything is basically self taught or we watch loads of videos to come up with our own solution. However these shrimp are not for food
I guess I've got some catching up to do I don't believe you ever showed us how you built those filters?
I just bought filters rated for 250 gallons they were not diy
Great video. Thanks again .
How do you find buyers for all these shrimp?
We have a online store tgoeshrimp.com that we cant even keep up with the demand. If we had too many even local pet stores are asking for them
@thegardenofeder that's awesome, well done !
Wow love the setup.. stumbled on your video looking for summer tubs ideas. Where can you get these preferably new or food grade and average costs? Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Thanks! We lucked out and found someone local. Try looking on local facebook sale pages or Craigslist.
actually sulfur is not very water soluable, with your air bubbler it will quickly make SO2 and leave through contact with air - it will not hang around too long.
I guess it just washes out really easily then but that's funny the chemist that builds the bombs told me that so I was just going off what he said.
What size AIR BUBBLER ARE You using
1/3 hp blower
How much salinity water for breeding fresh waterprawn
This is 100% fresh water we don't even test the salinity
Fantastic. How many shrimp do you stock per tank?
I don't worry about how many I've started some with 10 and others with 50+ as long as quality is goof the numbers will come and you will have less culls and work
Where did you get this containers ? Whats the name of the containers ?Costs?
They are IBC totes we got them on Facebook market place used for around 50 to $100 each
@thegardenofeder thanks alot for the info and your video you are a kind person.
@user-gr9te5qw5e your welcome thanks for watching
Can you update the exact product you use from brightwell
what is the diametrer and height of this filter? no too small? thanks ;)

how often u have to change the filter
Haven't had to change one yet. We clean them maybe twice a year
Cool 😎😎❤🔥🔥🔥
Thank you
I love this but man I have to ask is it a total prick of a job to cull those tanks?.. I would like to do something like this
I get so many orders going out each week that as I catch the shrimp for them I go thru and Cull anything that doesn't meet my standards. I use big nets and catch as many shrimp as I can with out messing up the plants.
Were can you buy shrimp tubs from
Craigslist or Facebook market place
👌👌
Oh
Cool enough :D
What is a price per tank that you use?
$50-$100 depends on how used and clean they are
Can I order live shrimp from you?
If your in the USA our site is tgoeshrimp.com
