Cherry Shrimp - How To Breed, What To Feed, And Everything You Need. 

Do shrimps need air pump? Will water plants suffice to produce enough oxygen?

They do better with a bit of water circulation, but they can live without it. I would worry more more about water quality, filtration, frequent small water changes, etc. . . Some people keep one or two in a tiny bowl on their desk at work.

superbe riprese! nice.

There may be a toxin in the water. It might be copper. It's best to use water that has been treated to remove toxins. If the bowl was uncovered something could have got in the water. Always cover the container. Shrimp are very sensitive to ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. An aged -seasoned tank with filtration is the best way to raise them. Sorry for your loss.

I just scrolled down to ask you about the camera model 😀

Awesome, thank you for the positive feedback. Be sure to have a look at some of my other work.

Ty for doing this video, I can better sex my shrimp now.

You are welcome. . . Don't forget to subscribe !

Mrs. Wiggles : I know exactly what you meant . . . yes , I absolutely agree that many other videos have very LOUD crazy mindless "music" in the background that drives me mad !

Thanks and welcome to my channel. I do things a bit differently. :-D

Thank you Trevor ! You do not come across as an "old fuddy-duddy", just a discerning viewer ! I appreciate the kind words and your subscription. Sincerely, The Dave

Well said, could not agree more! There are many youtubers just collecting Patreon subscriptions for providing very basic information at best, and inaccurate rubbish at worst. Excellent to find a factual well put together video with no personal opinions passed off as facts.

You're very welcome, and thank you for the kind words. . . 🙂

You're very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I put a lot of time and effort into every video, so it's nice to know that my labors are appreciated.

Thank you very much, I am pleased that you enjoyed it ! And thank you for sharing !

The Dave will cherry shrimp eat guppy babies?

No, I don't believe that they would, but I guess anything is possible. However, they will definitely eat dead guppy babies.

Thank you very much . . . I am very proud of this one ! It took forever to make !

Thank you . . . comments like yours make all of the effort that goes into creating something like this well worth it.. Thanks for watching !

I agree 100%, the one thing you could do to make the video even better, is if you read the script out loud. The fotage and the detale is fantastic, and the info is realy great. But i (perhaps because i'm not the best reader) have a hard time keeping focus on a video with so much reading. The optimal for one like me, is if you keep the video as it is, but you just read the text :) Great job

Thank you, I appreciate your input. Please watch my video about the Strange and Beautiful Mystery Snail. That one uses a voice to read the script. Please let me know what you think of my voice. Some people find it to be creepy ! Thank you for your comments.

I will love to see it, and i wil coment on it as well :)

I have seen it, and i have send you a little letter :)

Thank you so much! It was a fun project to put together.

Excellent! Lucky you, so many people have trouble, and it's always nice to see the little shrimp moving around.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Hope you are well in South Africa. . .

You're very welcome, and thanks for watching my videos.

Thank you! :-)

Thank you Dave!I learned so many things from you🖤

That makes me happy. :-)

Can I get your insta ID?

I am not on instagram. . .

You're very welcome! Thank you for leaving such a wonderful comment.

Hi and thanks for checking out the video. The channel is growing steadily thanks to viewers like yourself, but quality content like this takes a lot of time to create. As a result, I don't put out a new video every week. No worries though, my approach is more like a freight train than a race car. I start out slowly, and it takes while to build up speed, but when I do . . . :-)

Thank you for the kind words. . . That shrimp molt took forever to capture on film!!! Totally worth it though ! :-)

Wow, thank you! I appreciate the love. 😀

Thank you. :-)

You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You are welcome, and thank you for watching it.

You are welcome, and thank you for the wonderful comments. Get these shrimp they are wonderful and pretty easy to keep.

Thank you !

You are very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to watch one of my videos.

I agree, the video is incredibly detailed visually making it wonderful all on it's own. Music is a highly personal preference, so it was a very uniquely wise and refreshing choice to stick solely to the topic everyone who clicked enjoys. Those tiny mystery bugs infesting the empty shell are driving me nuts though, what the heck are they!?

Thank you!

All hail our benevolent shrimp overlords . . . :-)

I lobe this comment!

Thanks for checking out the video. Updates are in the works. :-)

That's an interesting approach to feeding the shrimp !!! :-)

@@TheDave333 They seem to love it. I swapped out filters and all 9 of the shrimps were on it in less than 5 minutes.

Nice! They do a similar thing with newly introduced driftwood. It's neat to watch.

Thanks :-D

You are very welcome. I love your comment . . . Some people prefer audio, reading text is too much work I guess :) However, I'm with you, I think that the lack of sound focuses your attention on the cinematography. Thank you for your time. . . .

Thanks so much 😊

You are welcome!

Thank you for the wonderful comments. They are very much appreciated.

You're very welcome. It was a fun video to make. 📽

You're very welcome, and thank you for the kind words. Have a fantastic day!

Thank you for the kind words. It's such an amazing hobby, and I'm happy to contribute. . .

You are very welcome, and thank you very much for checking out my video(s), and leaving such an awesome comment.

You are welcome, they are great shrimp, enjoy them.

Thank you very much. . . I love science and the ocean as well. I grew up snorkeling and scuba diving in the Caribbean. I miss it very much !

I was informed that they are a type of Apostomate cilliate. They feed on the exuvial fluids produced by the shrimp's exoskeleton. They're commonly seen in saltwater crustaceans, but may be unusual in freshwater. . .

You are very welcome, and thank you very much ! I hope that the video gives people a better understanding of these wonderful animals.

Thank you very much. . . I am working on new ones everyday, but they take a great deal of time. :)

Thank you, I am glad that my video was helpful.

Thank you for watching the video and leaving a thoughtful comment . . . I am constantly amazed at what I see / discover with each new video. Natures always has it's little surprises. . . Have a beautiful day :-D

The Dave You're welcome! It was kind of you to reply, although I didn't really say much. I appreciate your work; I'm learning new things and that's something I thoroughly enjoy. I, for many years as a child and even into my mid-teens, wanted to be a Marine Biologist but my Mom became very ill, my Dad passed away and it was up to me to care for my small family; don't feel bad, I'm blessed to still have my Mom & a brother who loves me :). In the 10th grade I had the most amazing teacher who made learning fun, she was very much into full on interaction w/ hands on and visual learning. My fascination w/ the field started w/ the tanks my Mom filled at home. We had a shark at one point that grew to be 3ft in length and resembled a miniature Great White. Despite the plethora of aquatic life I loved one particular bugger - a sucker or cleaning fish that grew to astronomical sizes. Every day, throughout the day, it would come to the surface to see me. I'd stick my fingers in and pet it for as long as it wanted - which sometimes was 5 mins but usually more than 30 mins. The story doesn't end well and it's something that still to this day breaks my heart but the beauty of it, was the fish who loved me. Sorry far more of a response than expected! :)

The long response is perfectly fine! Don't be sorry. After all, this is "social media" . . . The sucker fish sounds like a plecostomus ( a.ka. pleco) . And they do get enormous!

The Dave I never knew if it was a he or she but I refereed to it as he. When we got him he was roughly an inch in a half like the others but something happened to him, he grew to an unbelievable size - especially compared to his brothers & sisters. At the time of his passing he was almost 6.5"! His siblings were roughly 2.5" - 3". Social Media, RU-vid is about the only form I'm interactive with. Everything else bores me. Occasionally I hit up Reddit but that's a rare occasion.

He may have been a dominant male that released chemicals into the water that stunted the growth of the other fish, esp. the other males. In fact, quite often with fish, gender is not determined at birth, but by their environment.

Thank you. Wait until you see the footage of the German Blue Rams! 📽

You are very welcome. Good luck with your new shrimp tank. :)

I am glad that you enjoyed the video, and congratulations on your new shrimp family.

Thank you !

You're very welcome. It's an amazing sight to see. 🤩

Wow, thanks! No argument here. :-D

@@TheDave333 I just got my first 7 in the mail, I've been lapping up the info:p Using yours I was finally able positively sex all I could find. All females -_- But 3.89ea for PFRs

Thank you. It does take a bit of patience, and a very understanding wife.🙂

Thank you for watching my video. Stay tuned for more !

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.

Thank you, it took forever to make ! I learned a lot too just observing them !

Thank you. . . A nature guide on the Baltic sea coast ! I'm jealous. I love nature and the sea !

A symbiotic relationship is definitely a possibility. They only appear shortly after the molt. They feed on the exuvial fluids / shell fluids. I've since learned that they're a type of Apostomate ciliate . Thanks for watching.

Awesome. . . It is my opinion that audio detracts from the visual beauty of what I am trying to create in my videos. I am pleased that you like my work. Thank you.

Glad you liked it

Greetings my Indian friend. You are most welcome, and I am happy that my videos have inspired you. Have a beautiful day.
