The Shrimp Mountain: NEW Shrimp Setup for Neocaridina Aquascape Tutorial 

👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇: THICC CORY: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com/listing/md-thicc-cory FULL SHOP: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com This is a true Iwagumi aquascape for my blue dream and blue jelly shrimp. I've not done many of these kind of style of aquascapes but I'm very pleased with the end result as I managed to pull off the mountain scale with the aquarium. It's going to look more impressive in a month or so when the plants have filled in a bit more as well.

Every time I feel tired of this hobby or it starts feeling like too much work, your videos give me that inspiration and drive to keep going. So many (too many) content creators make it so complicated. You just break it down to the simplest amount of effort with the kind of results that most of us would be proud of. It's also obvious you care for the animals in the tank as much if not more than the plants, which is very much appreciated as well. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with all of us!

I really like that you've added that last few minutes of just the tanks and their inhabitants going about their business. It gives us a chance to watch what's going on and truly appreciate the beauty of the tanks. We get to see them like you do, not just in the making. Thanks!

I seldom comment on RU-vid videos. This is hands down my favorite build I’ve seen you do. Absolutely love the simplicity of it. Keep up the good work

You could have used one of the used sponges from the same filter, from the other shrimp tank. So each had a well used sponge and a used sponge each. Beneficial bacteria for new tank straight away - and won’t crash other tank

hi i just want to say that you inspired me to get into the fish tank hobby and i love your videos i am always excited to watch your videos

I love all of your shrimp builds, and the Iwagumi style is my absolute favorite. I wish I had the money and space to do just 1/10 of what you do! Love it!

Can you do a video on shrimp parameters? Like what you do to prep the tank what minerals you use. I really enjoy your aqua scape videos, but I would love to see your care on the shrimps.

Incredible tankscape, I could watch the shrimp in the grass all day. So peaceful. Thank you forsharing with us.

This is my favorite shrimp tank so far. I would like to see a step by step caridina set up from scratch. Thanks a lot for sharing your work!

Very impactful Iwagumi scape. I agree this one is your best rock-only scape you've done yet. The colors on those shrimp are wow. Thanks for the great job as always, MD. Take care.

Gorgeous scape.

What a great looking tank! I love the contrast between the dark substrate and the vibrant green plantlets. Also the rocks are just superb with all that detail. And the shrimp are just lovely when they go around doing their thing, to say nothing of the ramshorns who also contrast very well. I could look at this for hours!

Nicely done MD!

Those filters are amazing for shrimp

Hi MD, i am living in Asia. I really love your videos, I just have a few comments about the shrimp tanks since Srhimps are quite a big thing here in Asia. 1. Many of your shrimps are going towards wild colorations as you can see some of your shrimps in this video lost their colors. I.e. Blue Fantasy (Blue Dream) is supposed to come with full solid blue body, either translucent blue or solid sapphire blue. 2. Blue shrimps are generally recommended to use light color substrate such as sand or white/light yellow gravels as they will bring up the best of the blue shrimps. 3. you can start culling some of your shrimps when you have a big colony going. cull only those who's coloration are losing so you can keep breeding those with beautiful colors.

I am endlessly entertained by the doings and industriousness of shrimp.

You're my motivation when I get lazy then remember how beautiful tanks can be!

Finally! a new MD Video! Great tank. As always.

It looks amazing MD!

So beautiful iguagumi

Living for these shrimp builds! Just did a 2.5gal, doing a 4gal cube soon, love the shrimpies!

Amazing work!!

the shrimp will like the filters too!!!

so cool seeing people being so passionate about their hobbies/interests. great video

Thanks for doing this

Another gorgeous tank! And the blue shrimp are my favorite shrimp!

love your work

Fishtastic as always

Great composition. 👍 Definitely your best example so far, of this style... 👌

I also agree about what u said about the filters being shown, it kind of gives off a industrial vibe if you want to call it that, just seeing something mechanical in a enviorment like this just feels and looks nice

Cool mountain

Beautiful!

I can't explain how much I love shrimp

I love this look! I’ve loved all the builds, lol. But this one is a fun shrimp mountain.

Gorgeous

Starting this week my fist aquarium with shrimp! I do as much i can to research all the details and who knows,maybe i don't fail! The video you put here as so much of inspiration for me ! Thanks 🙏

Love the shrimp videos

I love your shrimp tanks! Keep em coming!

loving that grass with the monte carlo. It gives the scape a larger look..... i feel a trip to the aquatic shop coming on😃

This channel inspired me to start my first planted aquarium 🥳

love watching you and serpadesign’s videos for inspiration, i have a few tanks that need re-scaped and i can’t wait until i can afford the materials. one of them was actually perfect but it got black beard algae, which is the bane of my existence. no matter what the water parameters or light intensity/ schedule i can never make it go away. i literally took a plant out, poured hydrogen peroxide over it, put it in a bowl with a lid with absolutely no light for a week, and the black beard algae survived to overtake the entire tank when i put the plant in a new scape

awesome video md

I work at a LFS and one of the customers was wearing the MD Discus Hoodie today!!

Creative 💯

I sure do love shrimps.

I love your videos! They are such an inspiration. 👍👍

I LOVE THE SHRIMP TANKS

Looks fantastic! 👍❤👍

the shrimp tanks are my favorite videos

I have zero connection to fish keeping, but you are just so relaxing to watch ❤❤

MD PLEASE MORE SHRIMP BUILDS!

Find myself waiting for your videos😆 have an awesome week! Hope to share some pics of my tanks soon!

i love you so much. you are so inspiring and your tanks are ALWAYS so gorgeous! truly stunning. my mom watches your videos with me and she’s amazed by your aquascapes (as am i, but she’s not really into fish/shrimp like i am) anyway, NEVER STOP PLEASE!!!!! i love your videos SO much. i’m going to buy your Shrimp Really? merch within the next week😸 been watching your videos for a little over a month now and i get SO excited every time you post a new one. i think it’s safe to say you’re in my top five favorite channels. you are wonderful.

So nice

shrimp Tanks for the WIN!

each shrimp tank i love more than the last!

I use the same filters, they are awesome. I put 2 5w versions with the heater horizontal under them in 2 different 29 gal tanks. They work awesome and I just squeeze out the sponges every 2 weeks with my water changes

What a beautiful tank... the plants, the lighting and the fish. I haven't kept fish for 30 years but this makes me want to go out and buy a tank!

I like MD Shrimp Tanks 🥺. More please!

It’s awesome 🤩

MD single handedly inspired me to get not only fish tanks but to make them both fully planted. The tanks are so healthy they consistently have perfect test results and my two separate betta fish are so happy in their scaped jungles. I also totally rock the betta merch. Maybe do a design in colour for a betta? That would be epic!

Great video as always 💯

Such a beautiful tank I’ve only recently discovered your RU-vid Chanel but I can’t stop watching the videos 😂 love them!

Hi from Brazil !you are great !

Like always another good video MD. Learning lots and got me right into this hobby. I got my 1st tank other week and got a really nice blue white and red betta fish and blue shrimp as well as some pepper corys 🐠

Never stop 🛑 making videos ♏️❤️

Bro- your editing has gone to a whole new level. It’s noticeable, good on ya!

I love your videos.

Having the filter on show in a shrimp tank has a very big benefit you can see your shrimp babies on it

Hey man the calm tunes are absolutely awesome. Please keep them coming - whatever music you used for this video was perfect. :D

This is lovely MD. The rocks look ancient. New sub and fan from 🇨🇦

watching from Philippines, love your vids ❤️

Nice, another video

My fav youtuber

Nice setup MD. I like your thumb 16 shrimps but only 8 in the video. Cool trick will defiantly use it!

Amazing MD keep up the good work bud,you've got to be the best scaper in the UK lol,during covid you keeped me busy as,a got so into the nano cubes,ps never copied your rack lol,thanks alot from us your one of the reasons we've got into the ecommerce business now, cheers from scotland 👍

nice!!

Those filters are great for shrimp tanks cause they like to eat stuff/microorganisms from it

Loving the music on this one, was on Shazam the whole time getting names 😂

I really love your setups and I always watch your videos. Hope you can send one of your masterpiece here in the Philippines! Keep it up! :)

the amount of content is surprising me 😂

Beautiful as always. Thankyou. You did forget a spot for your round glass feeder thingy. X

almost looks volcanic, love it... I have an empty new all ponds 90 ltr here, i keep skimming your vids for ideas.. decisions decisions!

Hi MD. great video and project as usual. Gotta say I, and a few others I’ve spoken to, had issues with that pump n filter. Seems like the sponge is way too dense and gets clogged really easy. V diff to clean out and ends up getting sucked in and collapses. It may be fine in a shrimp tank with smaller particles etc than a fish tank. Mine is now in a box! Somewhere

The rock at the front looks like one of those carved Aztec rock faces.

Hey md it would be really cool to see another black water scape with chili rasboras or something

I love the scape, however that style is not necessarily all that great for shrimp. They need wood or leaves to munch on to really thrive. You can clearly see this in your other tanks as most of the catapa leaves I saw were just ‘leaf skeletons’ which is a sure fire way to tell immediately that you have a wonderfully healthy colony. You could easily hide your botanicals behind the large stones so you still get the clean mountain effect, but would highly recommend adding just a few pieces of bark at the very least.

Would you do a livestream with a chat function? It would be really cool for fans to talk to each other while watching one of your amazing tanks :)

Need more ewagumi style aquarium setup

I think you are obsessed with shrimp lol, keep up the good work and lovely videos man!

Its look amazing. Please guide us on the lights of all the tanks. Thanks

I like the Eriocaulon cinereum, seems to be similar to the rare Vietnam Version. Mine are getting flowers right now

Hi MD!!

I would love if you did another shrimp tank with a mountain sometime but have moss growing on it.

Nice 👍🏽👍🏽

All can i say for this feb and march is shrimp for days!!

Hello MD fish tanks, can you do a video on your most expensive fish/shrimp tank...

I would love to see u aquascape the bio orb I think it would be a cool challenge.

I realy like your videos and you inspired me so i got my first aquarium but it is kinda big (240l) and yes i got it in kit but i have allready planted the tank and now i am going to buy the fishes and i am soo exited about how it is going to turn out
