Excellent video. The importance of a proper cycle is so relevant but most of us are way too inpatient. Get the cycle completed guys. This video is proof of why selecting a reliable soil and a proper cycle is worth the wait. Thank you Shrimp Mania for another amazing video

@ShrimpMania Год назад

Well said GBee shrimp. Thank you for your love and support my friend!

@casper18795 Год назад

You shouldnt set up a fish tank while you are an inpatient. Hopsital Staff would be impatient with the extra hassle.

@berketaskran8329 7 месяцев назад

I know but couldnt he just put some water from the other tanks or some dirt so that beneficial bacteria easily start to produce. If you want start from scratch go on but its not efficient to wait for 3 months for the cycle.

@gbeeshrimp 7 месяцев назад

@berketaskran8329 water won't contain any beneficial bacteria, soil, or other surfaces will, but then you also risk other potential pathogens from the other tank. A clean start is sometimes more beneficial, simply because you start with a blank canvas.

@jeffreygroen9191 Год назад

As a experienced shrimp breeder i can honnestly say thet breed themselfs. I had falen behind maintaining my planted shrimp tank for like a year. When i finally got to the task at hand the tank could not be opened because the plants grew arround the lighting. The shrimp were doing great though, the population was about 500 and many pregnant and baby shrimp were just chilling eating only algae and rotting plants.

@fatterperdurabo42069 Год назад

The proper setup at the start is critical, maintenance can go very lax if other conditions are good lol

@derpyturtle927 Год назад

I love how they are so comfortable you can just drop them in the new aquarium and they will immediately start eating. Very beautiful shrimp and setup to show them off. I wish I had something like this it's wonderful 👍

@aromero5000 Год назад

Excellent video. I returned to ornamental fish after 20 years. How things got better. I live in Brazil and my aquarium gets sunlight for part of the day, so I always have algae. I tried several deep clean fish until I met the neocaridina shrimp. I was beaten too much with the correct mineralization, and now I even donate the excess of animals. A hug to everyone.👍👍👍

7:52 your flame moss is so happy, i didnt even know what it was! to make the point to my wife i was getting all hyper saying " you see that?! " pointing at the screen, then running the tank and pointing at a scraggly green thing and saying, " thats it!! " i told her it proves i dont have the right thing going on, but with an ro buddie and this great community i am on my was and am in good hands

@ShrimpMania Год назад

Moss will grow nicely if you use good aqua soil rich in minerals. The soil will slowly release some minerals and fertilizers into the water making the moss grow nice and without bad algae. So, if you want your plants to grow healthy and green invest in good aqua soil. You might try fertilizers but it's easy to screw it up and end up with a tank full of algae instead.

@ShrimpMania Год назад

Glad you liked it. Master soil works good so far. I like the plant growth, better than ada at the early stage maybe because ada leach a lot of anmonia/minerals in the beginning and algae likes it. Good luck with your new tank!

@droiid123 Год назад

Hi there, thx for video. I love when you show more akvariums with another setup (soil). I have one solution for you algea and high level of amonia. You are using only slow growing plants. When you wish to have amonium level down faster, use faster growing plants (Limnophila sessiliflora is a ideal for example). You can just remove them later, but for start they are very helpfull. Only slow growing are not ideal for starting, becouse they dont take so many amonium from watter like faster growing. Maybe this could help you start faster. Thanks for video again and i wish good health for you and your fishs and shrimps . P.S.: my chrimps love floating plants (they help with amonium level too), maybe you should add some. But its only on your opinion.

@RWAquariumPages Год назад

such a great video by the master mosquito breeder! jk, i was wondering how those red worms got introduced into a new aquarium. great video on setup and the importance of a proper cycle. Glad to see 4 berried golden galaxy shrimp, can't wait to see that tank full of babies. I was re-watching one of your videos testing easter shrimp soil, too bad it didn't work out. I'll be using ada in my new tanks. with that said, i placed 2 tanks into an area, 1 empty one filled and one more on the side empty. My wife just said i can have another shrimp rack, so it'll be 4x4x3 tanks 3 rows. I met a tw breeder locally that uses the thin soil technique. I'm going to give that nico, soil in a bag a try combined with a thin layer, just for fun. Can't wait to the next updates!

@ShrimpMania Год назад

Hey Ray, glad you liked the video. The worms hatched from mosquitoes eggs they got into the room when i open the windows. I’m looking forward to see your new rack hope you post video about that and when you setup your tanks with new method. I always wanted to try soil in the sock method as well. Hope it will work for you

@emberframe6994 Год назад

they are mosquito larvae

@goodcopbadcop9872 Год назад

Those three dots on the end of the coconut are soft. An ice pick or 10p nail can be poked in easily. Makes for cleaner water. Currently just finished the cycle in a 5 gallon on my desk. Fishless cycle with household ammonia. Never got anything green to grow, just brown diatoms (I assume). Fluval shrimp soil. Heading to the LFS for some greenery. Too bad all they have are neocaradina.

I put salts directly into the tank they dissolve in the water very fast because of the water flow. It probably takes an hour or so

@fiercetatsu6782 Месяц назад

Those bloodworms that were breeding would’ve been amazing to have happen in a tank that had fish

@funkyimran1 7 месяцев назад

There is nothing as such as a breeding tank when it comes to shrimps. what you need is mainly 5/6 pairs, good water quality, big sponge filter, drift wood and some or lots of "floating" plants (easy maintenance & shrimps do like it). Have bred "God knows how many". My shrimps have bred in same breed tank, also in a community tank with angels, guppies, betta, tetras, corydoras and such. They will breed if the quality, PH and temperature of the water remains stable through time and should have hiding places where other fishes or homo sapiens wouldn't be bothering. You might not be able to breed shrimp in a small cubicle or a bare bottom tank. Shrimps do "rarely" at times kill and eat other shrimps.

I loved watching this video, its the first video of yours that I'm watching and its making me want to buy caridina shrimp too. I would like to ask you: keeping red and blue together? wont it dilute the colours like in neo caridina? I will need more research, but I am so tempted. my only problem is that all the fish I'm keeping have proven to love to snack on neo caridina as well, Platies, ember tetras, endler guppies... so as well as research I will need to find space without fish lol

Nice system, but cant you speed up the cycle by adding sponge filters from a older tank or are you afraid of contamination? Or inter shrimp breeding?

yes you can but the reason why it takes so long is because I used ada Amazonia gold soil and it leaching ammonia for 6-7 weeks. If I using soil without ammonia it takes only 4 weeks to cycle the tank

You had cycled tanks prior to setting up your new tanks, why didnt you jump start your cycle with cycled media from the old tanks? Would have saved 10 weeks. Or did you want to use the ammonia to grow bio film and algea? Thats the only reason to wait that i could think of, either way nice shrimps
