I think you pay mostly for learning. If you have the knowledge you can get most for free. You need a container. Second hand or through an aquarium society, you can get it almost for free. Light is essential, and sunlight should be avoided for several reasons. But there are many possible solutions depending on how you live. Plants and fish/animals is up to interest. 100 years from now standard was to just collect outdoors but you need a lot of knowhow. I live in Sweden and the aquatic fauna and flora here hibernate more or less during winter which might cause problems. Much easier is tropical or even better subtropical animals so you can skip the heater. I would say lowest possible is about 10-50 Euro/USD for animals and that is all. There is no upper limit. On the other hand. Learning from trial and error, will teach you how an ecosystem works. If all urban people gets that knowledge, there will still be hope for the earth to survive...

From VietNam: it about 70£ for same setup included fish and shrimp

India- you will get the same setup anywhere in the range of INR 7000 to INR 9000 ( approximately 84 dollars to 110 dollars). This is the max out range.

It was a nice sharing my friend, best regards ❤️👌👍

It was a nice sharing, my friend, with respect and love.

Good morning. ☀️ I have a question. What are the best nano fish to keep with Neocaridina reds?

I subscribed and I look forward to seeing more of your content. I like to feed my red cherries freeze dried daphnia, they absolutely love them.

BTW, neocaridina shrimp DO NOT EAT HAIR ALGAE

What’s this AI voice

Carbon footprint 😂

Yes, I like this video. Thank you for posting.

Ludwigia repens works everywhere for me, it's very tough. no co2, low light, low temperatures in winter. But the more it gets, especially light, the faster it grows and gets better colors

thank you very much for the voice over <3

Red ludwigia, red crypt, and red Lilly are the only 3 I have had survive and thrive without c02 or chemicals just aquatic soils with a good light

Thanks for sharing.. new sub

Some recommendations:- worked for me in my dirted tank with sand cap no CO2 setup. 1) ludwigia repens 2) alternanthera reinekii 3) rotala wallichi 4) red root floater 5) rotala rotundafolia 6) red tiger lotus(put this in pot or it's root system will strangle other plant's roots) Tip:-(Try to keep the nitrates within 5 ppm and yes, light intensity matters but red lighting is the thing that matters. Red plants need red lighting so they can reflect it back. High intensity RGBW lighting is the way to go.

My favorite lower tech red plant is red tiger lotus, the only thing i use is leaf zone fertilizer/co2 wise to supplement more iron to make them extra red. It would be interesting to see how they turn out without it

Ive had one Alternanthera plant survive in my natural aquarium. Its kept right under a bright LED floodlight so perhaps thats why its the only one out of the 10 Althera plants Ive bought. its got a huge root system now so I dont see it going anywhere either.

I have done the same and my red plants are doing good especially ludwigia sp mini red. In my experience this was the only plant which remained red and thrived though the red colour was less vibrant if we compare it with CO2. The second was ludwigia repens, which is not a red plant but only has a hue of red in the back of its leaf. The only difference is your way to fight algae, I generally use some liquid carbon to fight algae and do frequent water changes but I don't reduce intensity or photoperiod of the light

Hello from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I am a subscriber to yours! Absolutely the massive reduction in photo period and intensity caused the red plants to suffer. Next time, same plants but keep the lights strong as possible and fight algae in other ways.

It was a nice sharing, my friend. Best regards.

❤❤

Bravo !

It was a nice sharing, my friend. Regards.

6:55 Detritus worms, I think.

Please voice your videos, I don’t like to be reading while I eat 😅

Are you able to reproduce the danios without taking the little ones out?

Ever figure out what those little tubes are around the trumpet snail? (I'm guessing its poop :)

Good

Stinging nettle is also a hit with my shrimp.

Yes.

Did you have a lot of experience in keeping fish, ect, before this channel?

It was a nice share my friend.

I definitely enjoy all your videos and I think your tank is beautiful. I myself have 2 father fish tank a 55gallon and a 10 gallon betta and white cloud minnow tank. They are both doing good.

I want to try this, but want to start small...I have a 7g bookshelf tank , would that size be okay ?

I think if you trim a plant, you will encourage it to grow more because the production of phytohormones like auxines and gibberellins will increase. And it will make it consume more nutrients.

Just curious what the new info is?

Walstad forever!

I think I only have females…shrimp can have two mums right?

Great video! I'm a fan of this simple explain. A question: i handle this method by caridina shrimp for a year. But they dont breed, some times i have a vew or baby shrimp. They live in a small tank on osmose with minerals and a lot of moss.

Do you not use an air pump ? Im also starting a walstad rank but with red soil and compost mix cuz in my region aquasoil or even organic soil is costly and im broke lol :( planning on vallosneria , cobomba , crypts and ludwigia. 20 G tank

Will Ghost shrimp eat Medaka eggs or fry?

Thats what i did too, no water change, just putting food in every 4 days. Shrimp is breeding non stop.

Can u keep ghost shrimp with the cherry shrimp??

Great video and very informative thankyou!

8 minutes for 2 simple statements. They quit doing maintenance to the tank and started feeding shrimp food twice a week. There. I saved you 8 minutes.

How do you manage the bio film when there’s no movement of water in the tank?

I'm not sure why the fish wouldn't eat up your baby shrimp. I've always caught fish with shrimp! My shrimp tank is dedicated to shrimp and all the little pond things that get added when I top iit off. I have a small sponge filter in the tank that i change out every 6 months, or not since the shrimp love to be on it and eat whatever is there!? So maybe the fish are feasting on the babies? I have boatloads of babies in there! And cool variations since they are mixed! Blues, goldens, greens, red on tail and fin clear in the middle and now brendle colored, like dogs!

Shrimp, just add water!!! 💦
