What is the Best Temperature for Breeding Shrimp 

Check out our snails, alder cones, and driftwood that are all seen in this video on our website. flipaquatics.com/

I only noticed the shrimp when it moved. I thought we were watching pebbles and snails lmao

I keep my painted fires at 69-70F and I just got my two first berried females! Mine are always active and love to eat and graze.

Thanks for the summary, Rob. I'm looking forward to my order and many years of interest. I've decided to go with a quality inline heater for a 10g show tank since my house stays below 60 F in winter. Your advice is, as always, priceless! Blessings.

I keep mine at 77 just because I have other fish with them, when they were by themselves they were usually 73-75, and they were thriving.

I live in hawaii and have a 10 gallon tank that fluctuates anywhere from 79 to 82F ish. Will I still be able to keep and breed blue velvets or blue dream shrimp?

hi, been watching your videos for a bit. just set up a small tank for shrimp, and stocked it with 4 velvet blue shrimp. they died within a week. i have kept lots of fish, but these are the first shrimp. i am picking up a tds meter, but my ph was about 7.2, kh about 60 and gh about 80. i have fluval substrate and sand with about an eigth cup of coral. i have moss and buce on some wood in there. not sure what happened tho. it may have been a temp issue. i had cold black worms in the bag on the way home, amd it may have dropped the temp. i drip acclimated them, but they were very inactive right off the bat and didnt seem to eat. one thing, it had a hard time getting them out of the bag, they are really small. how do you get them out, do you net them or just pour them out? love the chanel and your dedication to the hobby and the chanel! thanks!

i keep my cherry shrimp in 73f

Who keeps their house in the 60s?

Live in the south (Memphis area) and inside house temp gets in the 80’s for days! I know temp on shrimp tank will get really warm! Guess as the temp gets close to 80, we should shut the door from the kitchen to the screened porch which is exactly where the tank is (kitchen).

so I keep my neocaridina shrimps in 23-24C, caridina bee in 21-23, taiwan in 22, tiger 20-24

what small snails are those?

My shrimp All died overnight. Why?

Trying to buy Crystal shrimps lmk what I have to do

cool so no heater in a 10 gallon and i wonder what plants like the cold water?

Hello good evening, what type shrimp you recommend for hard watter, I have 75 gal with rainbows and platyes, im from Boston MA

My question is is there a temperature range that will determine the sex of the fry? I have been running a 25C tank and all i keep getting are males. I only got 4 females now and I'm like dude need some women in this frat tank!

Listened for 5 whole minutes to hear you say you don’t use a heater/regulator lol

I cant breed my ghost shrimp can u help me figure out why?

Mine have been at 81-82 all week took the heater outshould be fine my house sits at 70-72

Hey man are you talking Celsius or Fahrenheit

great info thanks :) subscribed!

I was keeping a small tank with shrimp and apple snails at about 78F and feeding pretty heavily for the snails. All my poor cherry shrimp started dying one at a time and I saw what looked like molting issues (cracked shell and sudden appearance of a light "racing stripe" on many shrimp) I am reasonably sure that those conditions had the shrimp growing faster than they could molt, I was wondering if you've ever seen anything like that? Oh, and: Ammonia: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 10ppm pH: 6.6 Hardness: kit from amazon is in the mail :( but our water is softish and I had been feeding a lot of mineral heavy food for the snails

Glad I saw this video last year my shrimp tank has been at 80 they don't die knock on wood but they do grow fast

Keep mine always at 72, they love it and lots of action!

I have 10 crystal red shrimp from you I put them in 78 and they have grown crazy should I drop it down cause this is my first shrimp tank or just leave it

Plz talk about which season does most of breeding happen plz if there is anything like that ! !! plz ?

Being an aquarium guy since the 90's I was getting excited to try shrimp for the first time until I heard they like temps in the low 70's and I decided to abort my mission because the tank I wanted to put them in is 78 degrees with Neon Tetra's and a few small Platy's and decorated with woods and live plants. From everything I have read my tank isn't perfect as a Shrimp only tank but still possible if the temperature will be ok? I don't want a Shrimp only tank, I think it would bore me.

Well it's good to know that shrimp do well in low 70's. I was planning to keep my fish room (when built) around 74F but to suit the shrimp I may drop it a couple of degrees. It'll save a bit on energy and I prefer lower temps as it's just overall safer IMO.

Great info. Love finding these older videos. Thank you for sharing! - Little Bobby

so , do you have shrimp. i see you have ram horn snails

does this go for blue dream/ blue velvet neocaridina shrimp

Thanks man just educating myself before I start

All my tanks are 28 degrees celsius (no heater) everyday.

I bought ghost shrimp about 3 weeks ago and in with my tropical fish they went,yep nitrous. At .49 it seems like a good trial and error shrimp to start out on. Why are ghost shrimp so hard to breed yet the cheapest to buy? I don't believe they are hard to breed. Yesterday while checking on the tank the shrimp are in I saw one full of eggs, today 1 more full of eggs out of 5 females (8 males).

cool that's some good information.. I would like to buy some cherry shrimp like a dozen could u tell me how to go about this thanks bruh the sponge filters are excellent thanks again

I keep mine at 70 degrees Fahrenheit

But if you run the tank at lower temperatures, the fish in your tank are more susceptible to disease.

at singapore we have to buy chiller which is very expensive

I know this is an old video but just to give everybody some updated info: The magic number for me is 23°C, that's 73.5°F, for my Cherry Red shrimp. I started with a group of 15 from the fish store, in the end of August... Counted up to 70 a few weeks ago when I fed them in one spot, so that's three months. Giving the fact that those starting 15 disappeared into the tank, I might as well have a hundred if we count for the hidden shrimp as well since I have a lot of hiding space. There you have it! :)

great video as allways

is temperature 23-25 good?
