Breeding Colorful Shrimp in Bins! NO Filter, NO Water Change! 

This guy made a whole ass video of mixing shrimp colors and breeding them. Halfway through “yeah let me know if this works I’m actually color blind” I love this channel

It's really cool seeing those almost emerald green shrimp. You never normally get crazy colours like that in the hobby. But shrimp just know how to make it work 🤣

So unfortunately shrimp genetics arnt as easy as putting a blue and a red together to get a purple. So Neocaridina shrimp can be broken into 4ish families. The snowballs are a family. The yellows, oranges and greens are a family. The reds, blue jelly’s and the blacks are a family. Then the last are Bloody Marys, blue dreams, blue velvet, chocolates and black roses. Now yellows can make green babies but blue dreams can’t. So those greens your seeing are from 2 yellows and not a yellow and a blue. When you cross shrimp that arnt in the same family you get clear wild type babies. But if you breed a Bloody Mary and a blue dream you will get blue and red babies but never both in one shrimp. Purple is the rarest color for freshwater shrimp. They pop up at random from blue velvet breeding groups. Hope this helps! :)

Those results are so cool!! In the yellow/blue group, there were almost every variation in between - emerald, aquamarine, neon green, etc. How neat! Thank you for sharing with us ❤️

The emerald greens look amazing! Loving this series as I am doing something similar currently

“Bare with me I’m colour blind” “here we have a brown shrimp” but it’s green. Haha love it, good work man 👌

The irony of him being color blind while conducting this experiment🤣

At the end of the video, 4:50, there is a baby that looks more like a neon greenish or even maybe an "aqua" blue/green, to me. It's not green but definitely a different shade of green than the others. Again at 5:01 there is a good comparison to a larger yellow/green shrimp front left of tank

I also breed shrimps in plastic bins. Just add some lava rocks and driftwood with moss attaches. They will breed like crazyyy 😂

I love the mixes! Thanks for the update! So awesome!

LOVE this series! I’m so excited to see what happens next!

4:00 We got you those are most definitely green, a nice bright green at that keep up the amazing work. 👌🏾 Can't wait until you produce those purple shrimp next

I love this!!! Our local fish stores have red ones sometimes but typically just the clear ghost shrimps. I want blue and green ones!

i love when you point to a super colorful one and call it brown its cute lol

Marble Queen pothos is a slightly slower grower than other pothos bcoz it's not producing as much green leaf to photosynthesise with. Also once it's root system establishes it'll start to push out leaves consistently. Love the bin idea as well mate, it came in handy when my son brought goldfish home and they needed a temporary pond

That's really cool, I didn't think they'd turn such a pretty color and have some cool colors! Hopefully the red and blue get going soon!

I'm also colorblind and I have an awful time even being able to see shrimp in my tanks against the substrate and the green plants. I finally found some rad orange shrimp and they're so much fun!

My favorites are still the blue. Love blue. The color you were asking was green and some had gold/green.

Greeeeeeen

The green is soooo green!! Greetings from California 😁

Amazing results for the yellow and blue tank. :) Love the bright color green

LOOKING GOOD :) LOVING THE GREEN AND THE YELLOW-GREEN :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

So cool! I’ve never seen colored shrimp like this before. They remind me of pretty patties 😄✨

The biggest bomb dropped with all these different color shrimps and the attempt to cross breed is the fact that this dude is color blind 😂

Ain't he just the cutest!😜😍

Awesome project, can't wait to see what other colors pop up

Was really hoping for more updates on this experiment

Very cool, love the blue yellow mixing of these shrimp.

You might want to consider getting a pair of EnChroma glasses so you can enjoy the colors you are breeding.

Saw your video in the morning. Back again . Great work!!

3:58 funniest part of the video

4:10 holy heck, I wasn't expecting you to drop Naz¡ terminology in this video lmao

Great to see the progress

I like these simple experimental videos too that you drop back to every few weeks 👌

Would love to see an in-depth tutorial on successfully breeding single color shrimp in tubs. I did see that another RU-vidr did a similar experiment (what do you get when you mix colors) and he found that after a few generations, they reverted to "clear" looking blah shrimp. I mean, I wouldn't mind having shrimp that blend in like they did, but breed easier than Amanos. Maybe fish wouldn't spot them and prey on them as easily? Idk Not an experiment I'd want to lose money on 😅

watching this i want to cry, knowing what is involved with getting colours to their high quality and personally knowing that from cull tanks when they are mixed they tend to throw more wild colour (brownish/clear)

Normally it doesn't work like that when you mix different colors of neos you going to get a brown wild type of shrimp. That green shrimps looks big and very mature there is no way they grow so big in 3 month. The shrimp only caring eggs for 30 days. Some blue shrimps has green tint in them and I think because they've been in the dark for so long they become pale and started to look more green

They looked very cool, well done.

Super cool! I saw a video of someone that had done something similar outside and the shrimps did amazing. Since then wanted to always give it a shot one day! Got some shrimp on my channel, they're super interesting to watch.

Thanks for the update

the bins are great. i would go with white or grey to see them tho.

the green shrimp looks like they are yelllow in the inside but has a blue shell. this gives them an overall green color. its really cool!

Very interesting results!!!!

Awesome update. Love the greenish golden shrimps. I'm going to start experimenting with blue and reds too and hope to see some funky results.

I’ve been waiting for thissss 🤩

Nice! Here is the video I've been waiting on.

How cute! You got green shrimp!

Great stuff like always!

Yes they are green with some yellow patches. Kinda jade colour

Hi. thaNK you for sharing. I had no idea Pothos were good in an aquatic setup

Love the result from the blue and yellow tub!

I have red and blue shrimps in my tank and they had blue, red, clear and mainly brown with some a golden brownish colour. Very cool.

That's so cool a shrimp with green an yellow head.. Instantly name "Ozzy spirt"..

The green shrimp look amazing!

Very cool stuff, I have been buying skittles mixes and throwing them into my blue dream cull tank to see what comes out. Its exciting stuff you get all kinds of wild variations.

Great video.interesting results 👏 👍

Wow, lime green & lemon lime shrimp. Very cool!

This video made my morning with out even knowing the outcome. I will watch it in a few moments Thank you for following up 😂❤️👍

ooooo, I need to get some yellows, I have really dark blues. Thanks for the research and the video. Be well

I don't have any fishes or shrimp...but i just love your videos man❤️...keep up the work❤️✨

so cool, didn't think you'd get green shrimp---wow

Love those green shrimp 🦐

I’m in love with the emerald shrimp!

Give your Cherry and Blue Dreams more time! I have some very nice mixes going on I've been breeding out. Looks like Spiderman :)

Ad marimo moss in the bucket! Need few light, are perfect for the shrimps and clean well the water!

perfect timing, i just finished your first video on this

That's pretty cool the yellow and blue breeded and made green ones that's the colour when you mix blue and yellow together

Yeah those green shrimp look awesome 👌

Every now and then RU-vid recommends me some golden videos and this is one don’t know why I’m so interested but I am

Darn! I was looking forward to purple 💜 🦐

this was awesome! it would also def be cool if we got a betta update, it has been two months

You should invest in color blind glasses so you can see the true beauty of your shrimps

That's crazy 😍 definitely lime green shrimp

Yes, you definitely have some bright green shrimp and some with both yellow and green.

That was pretty cool man. Good shit

Good one man 👍👍... Quite a cool experiment.... Good share 👍

Pretty cool! Also need that baby bettas update. How are those going? The colours must have come through more.

The results are pretty cool can't wait to see the cherrys and blue dreams to mix to see if it's worth getting myself some blues for my colony

You should get a pair of glasses that let you see colors

Have to point this out to you you said that brown mixed one it wasn’t brown it was a really nice colour the top was a green and almost camo pattern down to a yellow colour I’ve never seen that mutation in neo shrimp before nice

That yellow greenish small one...people say breeding colors together always ends up brown. Think it's finally time to stock the 6.5

Love your green ones

bright neon green shrimp id love some

Yep You got the green shrimp

Those green shrimp look so cool

Hahaha sorry we all yelled about the bin project on your last update. Tytyty for the upload

Your pothos need to be further down in the water. There's like 6 inches of the root system exposed to the air above the water line. They will grow much healthier if you fully submerge the roots.

Thanks!

Wow i will try that too yellow and blue

Look like the green and blue were breeding as well and got turquoise baby👍👍

those green shrimp look really cool

Bro I'm from india I like your videos

The green ones look great

It would be good to update the survival rate of shrimps that you put in. Was wondering versus the "offsprings". Seems that the salvaged shrimps were much lesser compared to the initial batch

Im already trying this. I hope mine come out like yours. The only difference in mine is I'm using Neon Yellow Golden Backs and I mixed them with VERY dark Blue Dreams. Wish me luck🤞💙💛💚

The yellow green mix is pretty cool 🤙

Can l just say l have amazing hair

omg the shrimp are actually green nice i gotta try that one day!

theyre almost like a neon green type of colour, thats heaps cool dude

That was sick!
