Life On A Stick (seed shrimp vs. daphnia) 

As an ameature biologist and as a human, thank you for this informative video. it increased my IQ.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Fascinating, educational and expertly filmed and narrated! Believe me, if I had the means to donate, this would be one of the few channels I'd be more than willing to support financially! In the meantime, I'll have to be content with being poor financially but growing increasingly rich intellectually thanks, in part, to your marvelous content. Thank you!

Extremely well put together videos. Quality, education, narration, it's all there.

Excellent video quality

Happy New Year!

Another amazing video, thank you! I can’t believe how adorable seed shrimp are. Daphnia are fun to keep and observe. I have a variety of gammarus/copepods that are so interesting to watch, always busy. Have to keep a magnifying glass handy to better enjoy their antics. Added a microscope to my wishlist because I’ve definitely got creatures to small to make out with the magnifying glass.

One for the algo. Love your work. Always happy to see you post.

First from mizoram

I love watching your videos. They are not only entertaining but also informative.

Love your videos Dave!! 👍

Beautiful video! Yep life finally found a way in my jar and I have a very happy colony of seed shrimp. Wish I could figure out how to have daphnia thrive. Heading into winter in Virginia and my seed shrimp have been reproducing consistently enough for a few months now to pull regularly to add to various nano tanks around house. After many unsuccessful attempts, my current mix seems to be working: aquarium water and rain water in pasta sized jar with a few small rocks, a bit of java moss, a small bit of stick, sitting on windowsill with a lot of sun making green water. Seed shrimp heaven I guess. Just split the colony into 2 jars so I have a backup. Question - if you have any houseplant cuttings rooted in water, have you found copepods in that water? I have been seeing what I think are cyclops but not the ones I am familiar with (these have an almost straight taper and seem longer) and they are sparse but in almost every houseplant cutting jar (I have lots) and I assume they are there from being fertilized sometimes with diluted tank water. I have never seen one with an egg sac and cannot get a clear view of antennae with my feeble magnifier.

Thank you for making me a more knowledgeable human. I love learning when it feels like I am just having fun! Your voice is amazeballs too, so that helps!! 😳😁

Great video. Like a documentary😂 Personally i would Like more care videos for fish/shrimp. Just curios, what fish do you have AT The moment?

I love these close ups. I am enjoying my planted tank with a certain Amphipoda species; I will have to observe it through a magnifying glass to confirm it and to enjoy it even more!

Wow, your footage is amazing. I love it

This is Amazing! INSTANT SUBSCRIBE🌻 keep it up!

i love these guys! thank you for the video!

Awesome

Oh thank goodness. Had a tough day. I need some The Dave therapy!

Great video, I learned a lot!

i've had my tank for almost five months now and had only ever seen copepods and rhabdocoela. i saw something in there that i'd never seen before; seed shrimp!!! that's so cool!!!

Bravo 👏👏 great videos once again. These little beasts are incredible 😮I wish I had some! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us .😊

Thank you for sharing!

This is an awesome video. I'm working on a facts video about shrimp and animals commonly called shrimp. Would it be possible to use or license a couple of your clips? That would be so helpful.

Amazing little creatures

Sandager's wrasse, blue moki, New Zealand black angelfish, New Zealand demoiselle, clown toado

Very encouraging 😊, life will always find a way.

Fantastic info and video. Thanks so much. 👍❤😊

backkk finaly Love this

I had overpopulated seed shrimps in my shrimp tank and shrim fry seems to dissappear. Does sed shrimp attack fry?

The prawn is planting seed shrimp. Get it?

Amazing!♥️

So cool

Maybe only one question i have after such full information. What do you think what is more useful for newborns daphnia or brine shrimp ? What do you prefer ? Thank you for answer

What equipment did you use to film it? The resolution is so good!

Amazing video, thank you 👏👍

Love your video

What is your favorite pinniped/seal?

Life will allways find a way. Isn't it amazing ???

Leaves, sticks , each is little world for many species for living and competition for dominance. Parthenogenesis is quite common in nature. Masters of immaculate conception are whipping (crying) geckos. Little tiny lizards, somebody brings home nice lady gecko and after not so long time discovers entire colony 🦎🦎🦎 in terrarium. Dave, do you consider make video about Paramecium caudatum?

Where do they come from? I'd love to keep a culture of them, but even in tanks that have been running for years, I've never seen one. Do you need to obtain one to begin with?

Life will always find a way, wow, i remember some Jurassic movie. Is there any possibilities that kind of seed shrimp disturbing or give some benefits to caridina colony in aquarium?

can seed shrimp and daphnia can live together?

What do you call an invertebrate does sports? An athapod. Get it?

Have you ever seen a redfin shiner before?

do fish eat seed shrimp

Incredible video!

What type of camera do you use?

can seed shrimp kill daphnia ?

Best place/way to collect seed shrimp ?

I have leaved the comment 🤓

Have you heard of an Asian redtail catfish? It looks nothing like its South American counterpart.

🤔

#oligochaeta

What!?!???? I thought my daphnia magna had parasites... No!... The water conditions must have become unfavorable, and the females were making those egg cases... -because a week or so later, the culture crashed, and almost all of them died. Beginner mistake! Thx for the video lesson! ⚡🎈⭐😁

Epam

What do you call an invertebrate that learns martial arts? A karatapod. Get it?
