*What kind of shrimp do you want to breed?* Comment below to share, and check out this awesome footage of a baby shrimp hatching from an egg: czcams.com/video/pW8OrYZSMjw/video.html
I have orange rilis. One mother came in pregnant. The babies seem to have grown to be red males and solid orange females.
And they're finally breeding! 2 recent molts. Crazy guys today, now I know why.
Please tell me what is that plant called 1:03
Yellow cherry shrimp
I was lucky I got a pregnant one.
Like my sister She bought a male and female and the next day it had babies not they are healthy and grown well three females two males
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 Seconds That's pretty good for a lot of blokes!
😂
yes i do envy them...
I can do 11
Booo little red shrimp booo
Had to watch a refresher since I have babies! I bought a pregnant tangerine cherry at Petco on a whim and took great care to minimize stress (brought my own solid plactic transport container, gently scooped her in so she never left the water, and drip acclimated her and a 2nd large female stowaway who was a freebie). Normally I'm not a fan of big box pet stores, but the coloration and grade of these were just spectacular. Even the red cherries were impressive with a handful of true fire red grade specimens. Everything was great the first few days, but then the berried female became lethargic and died a few hours later. I caught it within an hour of her dying and wondered if the eggs could be saved. I saw plans for an "egg bubbler" that's cheap and easy to make but lacked the supplies on hand to craft it in time. I carefully extracted the eggs from the female on a paper plate using 2 toothpicks with a puddle of tank water to keep her and the eggs constantly wet. I sucked them up in a pipette and shot them into my shrimp dip net that was a super fine mesh and wedged it up under the HOB filters exit flow so they would have continuous water flow. It's my bettas old tank so the outlet flow is diffused with a medium pore filter media sponge. Every day I'd suck the eggs up and redeposit them to try and keep them from clumping or getting build up on them. After roughly 14 days I noticed some had turned white and appeared partially "cracked" open so I sucked them up and released them into the tank and resigned myself to a high likelihood of failure and figured whatever happens happens. I have a very mature moderately planted 5gal with a nerite, ivory mystery snail, and now solo female tangerine cherry so predators weren't an issue and food should be plentiful, but I didn't have much faith. That was roughly a week ago. This morning I woke up and noticed something on the glass, I thought it was a worm or even plant debris stuck to the glass until I saw another identical critter shoot past and I knew that profile instantly! It was a baby shrimp! lol I have counted 2 so far, but with the dense cover provided by so many plants I feel very confident there are more in hiding. I couldn't believe my gambit worked. I think I'll prepare an egg bubbler now in preparation of this happening again just to minimize any future loses.
Oo thats a lot 😅
Wow, that’s fantastic. You saved the female in a way, keeping her genetic line continued. Keep it up.
Great job on acclimating and then saving the eggs! How rewarding!
As a new keeper of cherry reds this video was super informative! Thanks for putting this together. I had a tough time finding this info in the internet.
I know, right? I only found a couple of sources, so glad I can spread the information wealth around. :)
@@GirlTalksFish4 years later and there’s still not much info! Thanks for the video!
Just had a bunch of molly fry then I look over to my other tank and see the cherry shrimp is expecting. This video was super helpful.
Good to hear someone get all their information together “before” they hit record. Well organized, plenty of information and your vocal pattern makes paying attention easy. Excellent graphics, sound effects and editing. Well done. You are definitely a pro at this. Thank you. Now time to SUBSCRIBE!
This is one of the best videos on youtube as far as learning about shrimp! Thank you for great content!
My pleasure!
I was looking for this information everywhere! Thank you for putting this together! It has given me what I was looking for in what originally took me 4 or 5 hours of looking around, if not more.
Great vid! I was looking for this info everywhere.
I love all your videos... Always so well done. Clear sound clear image. Accurate information. You're awesome.
Good advises with great insights with proper details.. Loved it. Thanks a lot, I will keep the note of what you mentioned in the video.!
Great video! Very informative. All the info I needed 🙂
Never expected to hear “a 10 second or less quickie” on a girl talks fish video 💀 but I’m here for it
This is great to know! I just got some shrimp this past weekend and a female I picked up was already egg bearing. I was looking at sources EVERYWHERE to see how prepared I needed to be for baby shrimp (i have a smaller sized shrimp tank right now) and this was very helpful!
There is a ton of excellent information in this video! More than I ever knew about shrimp.
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it! I've always wanted to make a mini-nature documentary. ;)
All clear, you’re the best! Thank u
The most informative vid

You are the best, thank you so much
Very good video, nice job.
I only had 5 cherry shrimp, then all of a sudden loads appeared lol.
Leanne how they doing now ?
Leanne i just bought 5 oh no
@@wack4585 i got about 4 lmao
@@heatblast3771 did you get any more?
@@LILROGAMER i ended up getting new ones and buying 20 now i got like 100's
Great info and very well presented
Thank you so much! They're such fun little creatures. :)
Can’t wait to stock my 4.5 gallon with these Cherries. Hoping to breed them too! Problem is my LFS (local fish store) only has “mixed shrimp” but that does include a lot of red cherries so I feel bad for whoever has to fish out 10 red cherries. Great video!
Oh I do love me some shrimp I gotta admit!
I'm gonna try my hand at keeping some in an exclusive "shrimp only" tank.
Great video as always, really do love your stuff 😁👍🐡💙🌟🌈
Yes, do it! They're so prolific and fun to watch. Love my shrimp tank. 😊
Thank you soooo much your helping me sooooo much
Thanks, Irene.
Excellent Video, thanks.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Excellent information, step by step, down to earth, and comprehensive. All of your topics are so well researched with links. Love your channel.
👍💕👍
Your support is so encouraging! Thank you so much for always taking the time to comment on my videos (and many other channels as well)!
Wow! I never thought that I would go through shrimp sexucation class, but thank you nonetheless. lol Good info.
Great video. Even though I knew how they reproduce I loved your very informative presentation. Keep up the good work. Thanks 👍
Awww, thank you so much! Means a lot. :)
GREAT info 👍
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun making this video. :)
I’ve been shrimping it for about 16 months now with one beautiful orange female and I finally picked up a few more, she was holding eggs for only a week and now she’s passed cheers to you Cheeto I’ll try my best to incubate your children
Pretty detailed explanation! Planning a colony myself but with orange pumpkin shrimps. Hopefully they are the same as Red cherries
Thank you🖤
Thank u for this well explained video⚡
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
It was a great help from watching ur video
Thanks for the informations 🤲🏻💐
Eggselent information! I’m not quite ready for a shrimp tank yet, but hopefully before the year is out I will.
Yesss, join the shrimp obsession... 😜
the best channel with this type of content :) regards !
Thank you so much! You are too kind.
I built my aquascape 2 years ago thinking “i’m gonna spend all day watching my fishes”. But now i ended up being a shrimp stalker and have more than 100 of them in my tank lol
Good stuff
my dad just bought five cherry shrimp. about a week after one bore eggs!
thx for the info i know what do do with the eggs now! they mated at night
Hey priyanshu here once again, awesome video . Congrats on 8k
Awww, thank you so much! I hope to dye my hair for the first time to celebrate when I reach 10K. :P
Wow that’s cool , which colour do you wanna dye it ?😇
@@roysshrimptanks1676 It's a surprise... ;)
Thank you so much irene!! Ive been wondering and searching online, trying to find out if my shrimp that has eggs, is going to give birth since they are fertilised, or are they gonna just drop if they arent fertilised, so glad to know that its always a fertilised female that carries them! Bless you
Awesome video and well put together. Your colony looks great. You have a lot of young shrimp😀. Edit:. I follow Jeff on IG and that is by far my favorite video ever. I've seen it several times for it's just amazing. He has gorgeous photo's too.
Oh my goodness, I couldn't believe that footage he took! Someone's got some extra nice camera equipment there. Truly amazing stuff. 😍
@@GirlTalksFish Totally agree😀. I've even referred a few shrimp keepers to see that particular video. It never gets old for me😍
I am a kid and I know how the baby’s come out you got a new sub🎉.
1 of my cherry shrimp molted a day ago but I don’t know if I have any males in the tank. Do they only molt if there is a male?
At first your voice kind of bothered me, but then your video was so good informative and well done that you've grown on me! Great video!
Just started seeing black dots on our eggs! So exciting 😁
Yesss! Go, little shrimplets, go!
@@GirlTalksFish she only has like 1 or 2 eggs left!? Does that mean they've hatch?? (we have a lot of plants and drift wood so it's hard to see if there are any)
@@bettinico Yes, I bet they already hatched! Keep a lookout for them in the next week. 🙌
Thank you Mr.Gamer for saving the shrimp c:
Good memory! Haha, in the end, the leak was so slow that he could afford to wait for me to return from vacation and deal with the tank move. He just created a little wicking system to drain the excess moisture into the sink. Smart man... ;)
Like a 10 second quicky 😂😂💀
😜
This video help me a lot now everything make sense to me. This morning all my male was going unusual crazy and In the middle of the day I found a female carrying eggs and hiding all day. I’m so excited this is going to be my first batch
Congrats! I hope your colony has been doing well. :)
I was watching this to see if you can see the babies straight away. Thank you for letting me know they tend to hide for the first few days. I set the tank up with A LOT of hiding places for babies. One shrimp lost her eggs a couple of days ago and one yesterday. I've seen 4 babies, but both had a lot of eggs. I'm hoping that the 4 I've seen are the most adventurous from the first shrimp and that the rest are hiding and the second shrimp's babies are also hiding. They both hatched their eggs at the back of the tank in a big clump of Java Moss and it's pretty much impossible to see in there. I have 6 adult Blue Velvet shrimp and regularly can't see all of them, so the odds of spotting babies seems low. It's our first lot of baby shrimp, so I've got everything crossed that there are loads in there hiding at the back.
Almond leaf 🍃 was helped for me
hello, just want to say that I loved the video, but I have one question: is this the same for caridina shrimp? My caridinia's have brown eggs and they seem to be a bit smaller, they are crystal red shrimp? Thanks!
I bought some Blue dreams and two of the shrimp had eggs under they're tail/flap
I just added 20 red cherry shrimp to my heavily planted 36 gallon. I’m hoping that they set up a nice colony
Hi, can you teach how to produce different types of colors? Thanks so much
Love ur channel keep it up
Awww, thank you so much!
1:31 thank you, suspected that was Planaria
I love her
I just found your channel love it. I will be starting a 20 gal red cherry shrimp tank with fish. What fish will go well with shrimp? By the way this will be a planted tank.
Great question! Anything peaceful with a small mouth, like corydoras, tetras, and rasboras. They may snack on the babies occasionally, but mine usually leave the adults alone. :)
Thinking of getting shrimp myself, they en-trance me when they graze i like the way they use their little claws it seems so mechanical but yet its biological.
Imagine replying to your own comment from your creator account XD
What do you do with all the extra shrimp? This was a great video and very well explained! Loved your disclaimer for kid viewers at the beginning too. That’s a lot of babies per shrimp. Do you sell them or use them for live food or do enough of the babies not actually make it to adulthood that they keep their population under control?
Haha, yeah I realized my explanations were going to be a little, uh, detailed. As for overpopulation, I actually sell my shrimp! Just put in some food, scoop up a bunch, and sell them to my local fish store or fish club auctions. :)
Hello! Wonderful video. My question is, what are those white micro-organisms floating around in the tank? They're almost too tiny to be baby shrimp. For a better understanding, you can spot one above the hidden (half-hidden in the plant) shrimp in the video at 5:30 . I have a lot of those in my tank and I'm confused if I should change the water because my female recently moulted and I don't want to stress them out.
Hi, Those little floating things could be little paramecium or something. The tank water has all kinds of tiny life in it. More food for shrimp and fish!
Calling it like it is 🎉 😉
Thanks a lot for the information 😀 I bought red some shrimps today and one of them is pregnant 😀😀😀
How many days does it take the eggs to hatch ?
Lol at Shrimp missionary position.
I bought 5 shrimp for my planted nano tank about a month ago and noticed today that 2 of my females are berried! I'm throwing them a baby shower with gifts of cholla wood and java moss haha. I just hope my pygmy corys and ember tetras don't all the shimplets
it's 10 days since i first saw a shrimplet so thats like 12-13 days in and only one of them look like the 10 days one with the redish color. Are they behind from nutrition or is it just at lower temperature? what temp do you keep them at?
I'm new to neocaradina shrimp. Recently I had 1 cherry shrimp die during a moult. The GH is 12 ppm and the KH is 4 ppm. What is the best GH/KH?
I am jealous of shrimp keeper's I have had 3 attempts at shrimp and failed every time I will try again one day 🦐
Awww, good luck! What do you think the problem was?
@@GirlTalksFish the first time they just died off over about 6 months no Idea why with cherry shrimp the 2 time the tank went pop with orange shrimp brand new tank 3 week old third attempt not sure they died off again or my plecos ate them was hoping to get some ponocio shrimp this week but my pc broke 😩
@@mjh00124o Man, that's so frustrating! Sorry to hear about your repeated troubles. Hope you have future success and praying for your PC situation. 🙏
@@GirlTalksFish i only have 9 shrimps in a 30liter tani heavily planted, should i feed then? They Just ignore ALL MT feed.
@Le Baguette they don't need big meals they like to graze they enjoy any and all foods from vegetables, alge wafers, pellets, flake, bloodworm 👍
Neat
5:40-5:44 right earpiece screaming saying
wow at the background
Hi
Im keeping crystal black shrimp s
But my water ph is a little high
So i use an buffer
Which brings the ph down to 6.8to 6.5
Is it ok if i use this to decrease the ph
Will this chemical effect the shrimps i use seachems
Thank you for helping me diagnose a cyanobacterial infection. That was the video prior to this one.
Yay, so glad it worked out for you!
wowwwww 👍
Hi GW! I just got my first cherry shrimp, seven of them, and they are so cool. Reason I got them is because I have lots of algae in my ten gallon and my little clown pleco, Sylvester J pussycat-fish, isn't grazing enough, sufferin' succotash! After a week and a half, I have two molts. Does this mean I should have baby's soon? I haven't seen any randy males darting around yet, but they may have when I was at work. And if I have baby shrimp soon, should I skip vacuuming the substrate for a while? I like to vacuum every other day. I don't want to suck up the baby's. My gravel vac has a screw on end with holes like a shower head and I put polyester floss in it for a filter during vacuuming. This tank wasn't meant to be a breeder tank. Any advice? Thanks!
Ooo, the molting might mean more babies! (Or it could be the males that molted.) I think the polyester floss idea should work just fine for not sucking up babies. I also siphon my dirty water into a white bucket and then just go over the dirty water with a flashlight. Since the babies are about 2 mm long after hatching, they're fairly easy to spot. Then just use a turkey baster to catch them and put them back. 👍
On this video there are some white small dot swimming around are they babies shrimps too ?
I found 4 babies in after one month of keeping 10 shrimp but i did not see any egg even in the ovaries its hard to tell if it came with baby shrimp cuz it appeared after one month?
Just got a blue shrimp and it turns out she’s pregnant. I have no idea what to do or how to care for the babies. She’s currently in a 5 gallon, heavily planted tank with 2 mystery snails and 1 Ameno (whose not the father). Is it okay for her to be with the other Amano? What can I do to make sure she has a successful pregnancy?
I wish my shrimp kept my moss that clean!
Is it fine for guppy fry to live with 2 female and 1 male yellow shrimp
What was that food in the beginning , they seems to like it
Does this life cycle also work for chocolate shrimp?
Yup, this cycle should apply to all color variants of Neocaridina davidi. Chocolate shrimp look so pretty!
@@GirlTalksFish thank you so much
This biology is soooo 2 years ago... 😝
LOL. Thanks for keeping it entertaining
My red cherry shrimp and . Blue jelly. Breed together and had babies
