When I made this shallow tank for breeding my blue cherry shrimp, I couldn't even imagine that in just 4 months it would turn out to be a thriving ecosystem full of little creatures.
Bacterial powder Dead Shrimp Powder (DSP) I'm using to grow green walls in my tanks:

Thank you Ray, We are both addicted to large numbers of shrimp. What can be better to feed thousands of shrimp? I saw you also often use lava rocks in your setup. I think it's great media for neos and Sulawesi shrimp

Thank you my friend! Lava rock is a great media for neos, lots of surface area, it also looks cool if you place a few rocks in the tank with some plants on them.

@Blaise-sw5py 25 дней назад

@JustAnotherShrimpGuy 25 дней назад

I am amazed how you got such nice green walls from DSP. I use DSP too and never get that much green! Any recommendations? Should I just keep adding more DSP until it turns green?

@ShrimpMania 25 дней назад

Actually there are a few reasons why green walls might not grow. 1 Freshwater limpets. If you have them in your tank they will scrape it off before it even starts to grow. More food for them more limpets will breed and you will feed them with DPS and not your algae/shrimp. 2 - Fast-growing plants like stem plants or any other rooted plants will outcompete algae and you won't have green walls. That's why I'm only using mosses and buce plants. 3 Floating plants they are blocking the light and suck all the nutrients. It is also better to set the tank with DPS from the beginning in already established tanks it might not work for some reason.

@LSFANDO 26 дней назад

Amazing! where do you think the micro-flora come from? substrate or bacteria powder? I really want them (copepods, seedshrimps, worms, etc)

@ShrimpMania 26 дней назад

I've got this question quite a lot. They can come in as hitchhikers with the plants, substrate, rocks or even on the bodies of fish, shrimp or snails. Copepods particularly come into my tanks with Dead Shrimp Powder I'm using. They always appear in the tanks after a week or two in my new setups

Beautiful Shrimp and tank. I have two bare bottom tanks and im afraid to syphon the water like you do because i might loose many babies.

@ShrimpMania 25 дней назад

I always siphon a few babies when I clean it. It's easy to find them in the bucket and move them back to the tank after the water change but it's better to use the white bucket

How long does the lava rock work as a filtration media before needing to cycle in a new UGF? What do you do with the old lava rock; can it be cleaned somehow and reused for another tank setup? Love your content! Keep it coming. 👏

@ShrimpMania 19 дней назад

You don't need to change lava rocks ever man. Lava rock can be used indefinitely. Don't mistake it for active soil that depletes after a year or so. Lava rock is inert media nothing happens with it over time.

@madhawapiumika4037 6 часов назад

Sooo damn NICE. I am in love with the shrimp keeping. I need to start so badly but the water here is BLEH.. it's too hard I guess. But I am testing with several couples in a tank. being very observant. The biggest question is. do they breed less if the tank is filled with plants?

@ShrimpMania 5 часов назад

Quite an opposite they thrive in the planted tanks (without co2)

I got them from eBay. It's ok to ship shrimp. I do it all the time.

@so_so_reef 25 дней назад

For caridina shrimp what temperature range do you recommend? I set my tank to 23 and it's gotten up to about 26 with the warm weather. I know too warm is an issue but are a few days at higher temps an issue?

@ShrimpMania 25 дней назад

Well last summer I lost a lot of shrimp in the heat wave. Caridina will start to die in temp above 25-26. After that I invested in aircon to keep my temp below 24. At least buy a fan, switch off the light, internal and external filters or any water pumps in the tank will heating the water by 1-3 degrees that's why air driven filters like sponge or ugf are recommended to reduce the temperature of the water

I have so many seed shrimp in my red cherry shrimp tank, and they have taken over the substrate. I was thinking I should create another tank to put my shrimp in, to get rid of the seed shrimp, and having a bare bottom instead of substrate. Now looking at your tank with so many seed shrimp, I am wondering if I should bother changing it, maybe I should just accept the seed shrimp? I get concerned that the seed shrimp will out compete my baby shrimp for food, so I am probably over feeding to compensate. What is your advice?

@ShrimpMania 25 дней назад

Seed shrimp are ok if not too many. It looks like I have a lot of them in the video because they are all in one corner. If you overfeed they will multiply even more - more food more seed shrimp. In bare bottom you can siphon them if you want to.

Hi, any suggestions for a neo Caridina planted tank with a substrate that does not lower ph? I want to try a new aquascape and I usually keep caridina but I struggle with the sensitive crystal shrimp in co2, rocks leeching hardness, lots of fertilizers etc. I’m thinking that neos are the solution since I’ve found them to be so hardy. But I’d like to at least have the ph good for them

@ShrimpMania 6 дней назад

Higher ph soils from my experience - fluval stratum, GlasGarten Environment, SL aqua. But you shouldn't worry too much about ph berceuse your water will be with kh of 3-5 for neos. So it will buffer your ph to above 7 no matter what soil you using.

Hi , One of my red shrimp is carrying eggs . Last night she was okay , cleaning her eggs and eating well . But today when it's feeding time , I saw her eggs disappeared . Like , she was never been pregnant . There are no eggs , gone gone . I search nook and cranny hoping maybe the eggs were hatched and I can't see baby shrimp but I see nothing . The shrimps i have is in the same tank with cardinals and pea puffers . What do you think happen ?

@steamy1233 5 дней назад

Mostly the eggs hatched. You cant spot shrimps when they just hatched. They tend to hide in the substrates.
