Awesome vid, glad ur having success mark. Powder food method is for neos right, but what can be done for caridinia to have similar success in terms of feeding. Can we follow ur powder method but perhaps much less in the amount being added each time? Also is string algae bad or harmful for baby shrimp and adult shrimp, or u remove it for the health of the plants?

@et00170 2 года назад

Is the powdered feeding just the same as using something like bacterAE?

@ankit1433 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing, Mark ! I understand that you don't do weekly water change when you see a berried shrimp. Just for further clarity, you don't do any water change for even a month as it might sometime take around a month for eggs to hatch ?

@MarksShrimpTanks 2 года назад

No I do but I tell most people not too, I make my water in a very specific way to match tanks and I also drip the water back in a lot of new people dont do this so its always best to tell them not to do a water change when they see a berried girl, especially someone thats using tap water. If your competent at making water and do drip it in you can do water changes when you like.

@reusablestinger3164 2 года назад

questions since u are clearly experienced and internet is kinda confusing me what ph should we have to breed cherry shrimp? can we use sea shells to increase ph and calcium? is it normal to see male shrimp swimming fast around but never see a berried female? i have only 6 females so its easy to see if theres any fanning

@MarksShrimpTanks 2 года назад

oh I am no expert my friend I just learn as I go along through trial and error, for ph you want between 7 and an 8. for calcium its best they get it from the food so if you can do the powder fish flake thing I show in my other videos also if you are not seeing berried girls the powdered fish flake thing we just talked about will help you out a ton.

@42todo86 2 года назад

Is there any reason to do water changes at all if my nitrates stay low (5-10 ppm) due to plants?

@MarksShrimpTanks 2 года назад

yes there will be stuff in the water that keeps shrimp small, you get the same issues with fish.

@sophistiq8ted 2 года назад

I just did a 25% water change, switched to RO water and using salty shrimp mineral with aged water and prime. My neos are finally more active and all eating and swimming. All parts finally coming together, definitely not as easy as fish! Can I ask. What does aging the RO water do?? it seems to really have helped my tank just leaving it for 24 hours. I already started aging the water for next week for top ups/ water changes, I've noticed a HUGE difference in my neos.

@Captons.Skrimps 2 года назад

For me, I noticed a small creep of tds after changes if I mixed and added immediately. Aging I’m assuming give the crystals time to dissolve completely. Like sugar, sometimes it doesn’t all dissolve at once. Age it, make sure it’s fully dissolved, and check and should be perfect. That’s my experience however

@MarksShrimpTanks 2 года назад

water straight from the mains be it from the tap or RO source is a different ph because it has gases in it that need to be aired out, you also normally have a temperature difference. I do know people that dont age water and they also breed millions of shrimp but then they might just have the perfect water. aging takes away the variations you get to a large extent.

Love your videos Mark! A quick question, I have a 20long aquarium for my red cherry shrimp. They have plenty of moss, wood and plants in the tank. The tank is fully matured but for some reason they are not thriving, surviving yes but no luck with a big population. My city tap water comes out at 135 to 140 tds. Do you think that maybe just using an rodi water and adding GH would be better? Thats one thing Ive never tried. My current tds is around 210. Thanks for your response.

@MarksShrimpTanks 2 года назад

yes you probably will do better with RO but you will need a gh/kh buffer too, I use salty mineral gh kh buffer, before you do that though I would get some test strips and test your water and see what it says, also make sure you are using a dechlorinator like prime/safe because I know of a lot of great neo breeders that breed more shrimp than I do on tap water.

Hey Mark, I got an question in waterchanges. Let me explain me situation frist. I got six tanks, which I currently do a 10% water change 2 by 2 once a week. (So frist week top 2, second week middle 2 and third week bottom 2). All got double Spongefilters so i do clean 1 sponge of the tank on the water change. Now I’m unsure if that is sufficient or should i change it to 10% on all tanks once a week. Cause that Will take me a lot more work and water (but it is doable ). Thanks in advance

@MarksShrimpTanks Год назад

from what I see Mark Neos love water changes the more the better if you do it right, I am doing 30% a week, this allows you to feed the tanks much more.

@oretho6406 2 года назад

I still wonder why I haven't had any algae issues... I've only been at it for 5 months now, keep my lights on for 12 hours, but only get some dust-algae on the glass, all my tanks are heavily planted though, with water lettuce and salvinia minima as floaters. I keep wondering if I'm doing something wrong, and have some nutriënt deficiency, because I got some plants from friends that were full of it, and my shrimp (and ramshorns and endlers) loved those and cleaned them up rather quickly, so I actually want to grow algae... :S (they were the short green hairy type of algae btw, no idea what they're called)

@MarksShrimpTanks 2 года назад
