You added the plant and Driftwood with the little bit of bacteria on and then added water with chlorine killing the bacteria. Also the filter will 110% suck up the baby shrimp so try adding a pre filter sponge or put something over the filter intake to prevent the baby shrimp getting sucked in, also take the filter cartridge out and add some sponge or bio media to have more surface area for beneficial bacteria, as you gonna have a big bio load and those cartridges are just so the suppliers make money. Great video!!! And I am just explaining this to help out not to attack you and be a hater😉 can't wait for your next video!!!
Kallim Mace TOO LATE NOW! But I’m sure when we see it again in two weeks he will have redone it probably & replaced all of the first lot of dead shrimp.😆
True this guy doesn't know how to keep srimp at all he was a week or two from that tank being srimp safe I bet he lost 80 to 90 % of them before that day was over
@@Matty.Disson that is just silly. He literally said he was thinking about it in the video and I'm sure thousands, if not millions, of people have no clue about putting sponges over filter intakes.
Unlike cherry, ghost shrimp don't produce shrimplets but larvae. The larvae require brackish water to grow out into an adult before being able to live in freshwater. Please like so that Nick could see.
You're thinking about brine shrimp, ghost shrimp and cherry shrimp are pretty much the same, and ghost shrimp don't produce larvae, the produce eggs that contain shrimplets.
Would be so cool if you made this a heavily planted tank, with grass and large plants at the back, maybe some stone hardscape and spider wood for them then to climb on. Cool video
Sponge filter & more plants/cover needed. They should breed readily though.....unless you didn’t use cycled/established media in that new filter you bought. Not much “good bacteria” on a piece of store bought driftwood & a new plant
Hi Nick, I am going to agree with some of the other posters that you may be better off getting a sponge filter for the shirmp tank. Shrimp are grazers and enjoy picking over algae and something called biofilm which grows on decaying plant matter and the surface of sponge filters. See if the pet store has almond leaves and put a couple in the tank and you will see the shrimp love to feed on them. You are also going to need more plants, two of the best for shrimp are Java moss and Guppy Grass, as they provide a lot of hiding places and feeding surfaces for baby shrimp. There are a ton of channels on shrimp care and I am sure you can find them yourself. Good Luck!
Yes, but they have an EXTREMELY small bioload. I cycled my tank with shrimp and snails; the snails are still here, and the shrimp are entering their third generation (●'◡'●)
@@MattKeepsFish I hope so because wouldn't he have killed any bacteria off the driftwood by either leaving it out in the air too long or by pouring tap water before dechlorinating it?
@@ryanbennett2650 idk man, but some things just... work. I kinda did the same thing on my channel a while back and I’m leaning into 3rd generation ghost shrimp after starting with just 5 individuals
Water does carry bacteria. What a dumb ass. If that's the case, then, why don't people have access to clean drinking water. Its, because it's full of bacteria.
TWDSUPERFAN2010 1986 I think he meant beneficial bacteria, which drinking water doesn’t because of chlorine/chloramine. That’s why we add dechlorinator. That’s how it works in developed nations, in third world countries they don’t have that luxury that’s why there is bacteria in the water
When they say “live wood” they are saying it’s cycled media. You can have an aquarium set up same day and have it stocked if you’re using “live” already cycled media. Doesn’t mean the wood is actually alive.
People like this piss me off. He obviously doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing or at least to the extent that he should. I guess his loss though. He’s wasting a tremendous amount of money by buying everything how/ where he did as well as the fact that he will probably have little to no success with any eggs actually producing with the filter he got. Ghost shrimp are also very sensitive to their environment so by him not cycling the tank, that’s going to put a ton of stress on them and the pregnant ones probably won’t do too great.
You can put some salt and they will be fine. It good to add some salt to fresh water tanks especially if they are sickly. Salt helps fish heal. In your case the shrimp eggs and babies need it. For the fry you need liquid food made for shrimp fry and the salt of course.. hope this helps
Some of those looked like whisker shrimp. If they are whisker shrimp, they are omnivores and opportunistic predators. They will eat first shrimp, neocaridina shrimp (the colorful ones you were talking about), as well as living fish. A lot of hobbyist and breeders talk about drip acclimating shrimp because it how sensitive they are to water changes. They say sudden changes can lead to early molting and death.
Im curious to know how much die off you had. You are supposed to drip acclimate shrimp to prevent death. These shrimp are very sensitive to change in water quality. Is there a tank update video?
Sadly, I didn't drip acclimate them when I first started. i didn't know it was required until I searched up "Why are my shrimp dying" and it said something about drip acclimating. Now thankfully, I only had 3 shrimp and yeah. So yeah, I put 3 in there, keep in mind I didn't drip acc them, I had 3... then sadly one passed. But other than that one, the other 2 were doing just perfect! they were molting etc. Now I've done a lot of research and I'm now starting a shrimp breeding tank.
Jessica Day you cannot honestly think he did any research before doing this? No one will even be able to fully open the shed door again,stupid thing number one.😆😆😆
I like how he talked about the good bacteria on the plants and proceeded to dump chlorinated water on top of them .... water first then chem after ten minutes then plants
I wish more people realized he doesn’t know shit about what he’s taking about. Like people in the comments are saying ok I won’t cycle my tank and thanks for the advice I’m going to do this. Makes me wanna scream. 🤦🏼♀️
You said you had all these fancy fish and you don't even cycle? Also ghost shrimp need brackish water to breed. And you should know better than to set up the tank and stock it on the same day.
I've been a shrimp keeper for half a year and belong to a lot of neocaridina groups on Facebook. I can tell you that you rushed into buying shrimp and didn't do much research. The tank needs to be prepped for several months before you even put the shrimp in or else you will find that a lot of them will start to die off fast, you should of listened to your instinct about the sponge filter because those babies will not be strong enough to fight the current and will get sucked up the filter, and I will suggest to never ever put "ghost" shrimp with neocaridina or cardinia. Most pet stores call them that but in fact are whisker shrimp and they will kill everything.. Please don't misinform followers who look up to your videos and think everything you say is right. They might just be shrimps but u also have to test the pH, temp, ammonia, nitrate, and tds, gh, & kh.. Not hard you just have to research a lot
Ghost shrimp you would need a pond to raise the tiny baby shrimp, it you want to raise shrimp you ought to get cherry shrimo, the babies can be raised in an aquarium
Those will be dead before the morning,he didn’t even put any media in just water & de chlorinator liquid....20 mins later...shrimp.....lol He would have been better off letting that set up for at least 2 weeks but no...just throw them in Nick. Just buy more,we won’t know anyways...oh...you also have the tank right next to the door and the house fuses....honestly...can you even....oh...forget it.😂😂😂😂😂😂
What media is he missing? Some msnbc or maybe a little cnn? What house fuses? What do you think is going to happen with a freshwater aquarium next to a weather resistant breaker panel? The same panels are used outside where it rains on them.
I think he did use water conditioner except he said he added 10ml for 10gal which is wrong. Eitherway hes not oxygenating the water so yeah they'll last a few days.
If you're looking to breed them you need to get a sponge filter for the filter intake with a small enough poor size fits a baby shrimp don't get pulled in. The way it is now the adult shrimp may not be affected but if all your babies get sucked up the tanks not going to be able to fulfill its purpose
THE SECOND YOU ADDED STORE BAGGED WATER TO YOUR NEW AQUARIUM THAT YOU FAILED TO ESTABLISH MADE ME CRINGE, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING. ESTABLISH THE TANK FIRST, LET BACTERIA WITH WITH YOUR SAND FOR A DAY, THEN TAKE THEM OUT WITH A NET, YOU JUST PUT ICH ALL IN YOUR TANK I BET. bravo
@@ert-wert Don't matter what it is, added store water is just asking for ich and diseases, thats the stupidest thing I have ever see. Thats something a 10 year old would do.
