Breeding SHRIMP! How Many in 100 Days? 

What happened to your experiment with breading different coloured shrimp, did you do an update on that?

THE four essentials to breed Shrimp: 1) Provide enough hiding spots for new born Shrimp (A big clump of moss or other dense plants) 2) Provide enough surface area (f.e. porous stones, wood, dense plants) 3) Feed them REALLY HEAVY 4) Regular culling of colorless and unhealthy shrimp to keep the strain in good quality Shrimp eat biofilm. You have to find out how to boost the growth of biofilm. Thats the key! P.S. Many micro organisms are phototrope ;)

i just wanna say, i found your channel about 3 years ago. I even ended up writing an english essay in 11th grade about guppies because of you haha. I've started breeding guppies and recently got a betta! just wanted to thank you and i'm glad my fish hobby journey was inspired by such a passionate person :)

I know you know what you're doing, but I'd highly highly recommend putting the duckweed with tank water and not just dry on its own in a bucket, and plan on returning it to the tank. Because shrimplets love hiding in duckweed. I transplanted duckweed from my cherry shrimp tank into my discus tank 3 months ago, and ended up with cherry shrimp living in the discus tank after it. You just never know. edit: Okay I got further into the video and I just wanted to say, shrimp molting has nothing to do with water changes. If anything, too many and too big of water changes can cause osmotic shock and kill off your colony. The only thing that affects their growth is food, you need to be feeding way more. High protein and tons of calcium rich foods. You also should add tall driftwood, to give the shrimp more space, and throw in some longer rooted floating plants, they love that. I've had my red cherry shrimp colony for just 4 months now, I started with 22. I've done a total of 2 water changes with them. They are in a 29 gallon and I now have well over 80 shrimp hanging out. If you raise them right they are just absolutely prolific breeders. My amanos with them also stay berried and molt monthly, while of course I can't raise the larva right now, they are still doing amazingly. My bamboo shrimp with them also molts every 1-2 months. I've had him and the amanos for longer to be absolutely fair. The tank has been established for well over 8 months.

Amazing video! From 8k to 170k, I’ve watched your content and it has improved a ton and it’s very informative! Great job kfs! 🙃

You need to have a source of calcium in the tank for molting. My tank of blue dream shrimp stopped breading after a while when I had pebble substrate. After adding crushed coral they started molting and breeding again.

Well there probably was bunch of babies in the duck weed. In neo shrimp tanks I normally have a peice of base rock or crushed coral or oyster shells in the tank. More calcium for them and increases the pH.

Love the videos bro! Keep it up, i started keeping fishes and learning to breed because of you.

I love your set up and watching you get a new fish room has got me so interested in doing my own but I’m kinda more into it for the money:(

As always great content keep up the great job your doing, I found using a comb was the best way to romove duckweed and put in water as baby shrimp love it and hide well in it.

Happy to see a video today!

Thanks for the info buddy...trying to build my own red cherry shrimp army

Great Video mate!

You know before I never fancied this type of shrimp but then I seen a few berried ones on line and I cant get my hands on them anywhere. , nice video mate keep up the good work.

would love to see another update about the betta breeding project you started recently!!

Ayy congrats on 170K just 30K more fish lovers ans you are gonna get 200K!

Thanks for the update, we are waiting for the betta fry update!!!!!!

New sub here, i just want to leave an ideia of something that i would like : How to grow plants , Top 10 essential plants to have , Java moss : utilities , how to order fish/plants ( how to choose , quality , diseases that they can have etc... )

Thanks for an update. I normally change 10% of water weekly that works great for me. Also regular water top off is quite important from my experience so the water parameters stay the same and I would recommend to do it on the daily basis. The moss wouldn't grow very well without aqua soil in the tank or dosing ferts from my experience and often will overgrow with algae like in your case

My yellow neocaridina shrimp I started with 10 and now it’s 3 months later and now I went through and collected them from all of my tanks (slowly divided them between different betta and community tank) and I have over 200 now. Selling the majority to someone on the weekend but yeah. Same period of time, started with half the amount, and finished with over 200

Hey KFS could you make a crystal red shrimp video and also how frequent are the water changes

Keep us updated!!

Nice video buddy

If you haven’t already can you try and breed Guppies they’re one of my fave fish

Nice nice but can you give us an update about the betta fry

I just got mine they look so cute ☺️

hey need a little bit of advice I have 4 apistogramma cacatuoides in my 20 gallon tank with a pair of bristlenose , the bristlenose just spawned and was wondering if the apistogramma will eat the fry?

I love shrimp mine breed like crazy!!

Hey mate, what's the "shrimp sticks" brand that you're using please? I'm using frozen BBS & blood worm, with occasional Hikari... but your sticks brought them all out of hiding really fast. Can you share the name of it please?

what temperature did you have them at? the lower the temperature the lower their metabolism is

Shrimp stop breeding in winter mostly. Unless you can stop any temp swings but they even stop by feeling barometric changes in colder months

Have you tried giving some of your duckweed to the goldfish? I'm sure they would love it!

In my personal experience, with almost no water changes(less than once a month) the main difference between slow growing and fast growing colonies is more food, particularly with protein as it helps females regenerate eggs faster. Hope this helps!

Hi I saw your video about you getting ripoff by someone I feel so sorry for you but I am very happy to see you did not let you stop living your dream good on you I love whaching your video I hope your shop go's very well all the best in the future terry

Would snowball shrimp survive at 14c tank during winter? I found an article saying its the lower end of tolerable temp whereas others say 21C. What do u think?

Where are the shrimp sticks from?

How do you breed shrimp? I have Amano's in my community tank which have lived years but never bred (I guess the fry would be eaten by the other fish) and a nano tank with cherry shrimp but again I can't seem to breed them.

what kind of water do you have in youre tank? i always thougt you need saltwater for developing shrimp babys

Any update on betta juveniles!

Everybody is calling them flaps since then 🦐 😁

do you where can buy marine shrimps for raising ? thanks

Pretty cool

Hey guys . How do you get rid of planaria

If I mix shrimp with different colour Does the colour reduce....

What brand of the shrimp food you use?

Bro can you do a totourial vid on breeding swordtail plz

I have two pair yellow shrimp....will they breed? it's 10 gallon tank

the closed caption said spongebob when you said sponge filter :D

Shrimp flaps kills me every time 💀

This might be a stupid question but is the water sea waster or fresh water?

So beautiful And amazing😍👍👍

Best way to get rid of white planaria? are they dangerous to my cherries?

Do use to clean the poop waste out of the bottom to prevent shrimp from getting sucked out

Glad to be early

Do you ever sell your duckweed?

first comment thrid like keep it up you give me more and more knowledge everyday

When's the next breeding update

Hey...i need some help I'm keeping a 20 gallon aquarium and have all coloration of shrimps in it that are doing absolutely brilliant job..Can i keep a beta in same tank?is it okay to keep beta male in a shrimp breeding tank??Kindly answer mee

170k subs .. close to 200k .. hmm - your work is paying off one day at a time 🙂

Awesome

How often do you do water changes when you’re trying to have the population really booming ?

“Thats like shrimp crack” should be on a tshirt

Are snow ball shrimp the same as ghost shrimp?

I was feeding my shrimp baby brine shrimp for a couple of days and two of my females had eggs shortly after. Might just be a coincidence but idk...

So adorable!! And the shrimp are cute too😄

Do you have a PO Box we can send stuff to you at? Idk how it works in Australia. Here in the states a PO Box is a mailbox at the Post Office that you can get so people can send you things without having your house address. Anyways, how can I send you a gift?? Haha

The shrimp were on a side quest

I just got red cherry shrimp about 2 months ago, and i have had 3 die off, one by one. Every few weeks one will die. I dont know whats wrong :( Im pretty sure they are having a bad molt. I dont understand why its only 1 shrimp at a time though.

I know nothing about shrimp - so maybe a silly question, but I thought shrimp eat algae. Why so much algae?

I started with 20 Cherries, now I have thousands.

Try increasing your hardness my water natural pings out at 250 and my shrimp shed almost once a week and grow quickly most people belive the there parameters are the big determination point but I strongly belive its hardness

KFS: Says “shrimp sticks” Kanye West: ***has joined the conversation***

got myself 1 male and 3 females. After 3 months I have more than 50 shrimplets

Can betta fish be cross breed?

Shrimp crack!!🤣🤣🤣lmfao

I always hear shrimp breeding, is it salt or fresh water shrimp we are all talking here?

Scuds have infiltrated and taken over my shrimp breeding tank. What can I do to eradicate them?

Just a thought they have a specific type of shrimp that they put inside the sealed glass globes and the shrimp know when to breed and when to stop breeding due to environmental changes over population they stop breeding, underpopulation they breed again

Duckweed... use salvinia or water lettuce... I hate duckweed... Except outside... it looks like a completely different plant in the sun in my patio pond... that's how it tricked its way inside... the tub was my first floating plant project, it's all gone from inside now, but I was not impressed by it

Lime thai chilis cilantro fish sauce jumping shrimp

Do you still sell fish, you never seem to have any available

I found out, shrimp are sensitive to water quality.. They die very easy in dirty water I would reccomend at least a medium size aquarium, to be able to control water quality.

Bro my cherry shrimp are triple the pop and i got only 5 four month ago

Cam you make money selling ghost shrimp

Can you eat these?

More food needed. The shrimplets will be in the duckweed... oops

Have you ever thought about using a bell syphon to do automatic water changes? You could use a drip line to keep adding new water and then the bell syphon would do a partial water change when the water level rose? There is a video on RU-vid which, at 2mins in, explains an automatic bell syphon: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_vV_z_0lFQ8.html
