Just found one of these cleaning my pool out.

Wooooowwwww

Can you elaborate on the topsoil and compost aspect somewhat more? I'm worried about a ammonia spike and I never seen compost being used in any other aquarium setup besides branchiopods

How to isolate eggs from detritus, how to remove moina eggs and where do you get your eggs from

Feed them to my fish

That is a tadpole shrimp

Do u sell clam shrimp in your page?

Interesting song choice.

The song taste is a weird flex but ok.

great footage as always :-)

I'll definitely be buying a kit from your shop sometime here sooner or later^^ could you also do a video on how to care for redtail fairy shrimp?

Pls let us know what the prof tells you 🫶🏼

I just got mine to a good size. They also zoom around the waters edge like that. I could watch them all day.

Look like guppies

that is one large boi

I may have discovered a new species of Clamshrimp in Tennessee. I emailed the TWRA and they said it could be a new species or even a new genus!

Could you put the supplies you use on the description? (This video is really helpful, but I don't know what specific supplies to buy, I'm planning on some of these guys soon, but I don't want them to die if I buy the wrong substrate)

you should set up a live stream :)

i could watch these for hours

awesome video, i love these little guys <3

David: "Perfectly safe, I assure you."

Average American school lunch :

Horseshoecrab

Wow

Looks like something out of an Alien Movie. 👽

You should sell the rarer fairy shrimp eggs for us enthusiasts. I can't find anything online but the common ones.

Make a pet crab

These things are so strange. I used to catch them were I’m from

I love how they bop around

Song Choice. 😂😂😂

I know hes cute but its creepy

Lol

Beautiful

Wtf

WOAH COOL !!

and where is it located? exactly

i need some of these species cysts. <3

Are individual eggs visible to the naked eye? I keep wandering if theres a way to isolate individual eggs after they've been laid?

I've observed similar behaviors in my B. Thailandensis where the females would constantly evade the male's advances haha.

Any recommendations about where I can find eggs to purchase to grow for cold water fish food? Seems like warm water brachiopods dominate on ebay.

👍👍

I read the tittle as "long failed tadpole shrimp" at first 😁 Few rather insignificant scientific points: 0:30 The third eye is out of focus on this picture. What people usually imagine as the third eye is actually dorsal organ. The third, naupliar eye is much smaller and is located in-between the anterior edge of the compound eyes. 2:07 Most populations that are commercially available at least, are either hermaphroditic or parthenogenetic females. Which means they have the same appearance, but there's selfing happening in some populations. Parthenogenesis seems to be more common in the maleless populations of T. cancriformis, while some other species have functional testical tissue inside them. There's good summary of this, with multiple sources listed in the introduction section of paper "Self-Fertilization and the Role of Males in Populations of Tadpole Shrimp (Branchiopoda: Notostraca: Triops), Horn & Cowley 2016". Maleless populations seem to be more common further north or higher elevation you go, and the common hypothesis for this is that it was caused by the ice age or ice ages. Once a single egg from either parthenogenetic or hermaphroditic individual manages to travel into an newly appeared habitat left by receding ice sheet, the new population would then have much higher propagule pressure compared to those that need both males and females. Terms related to this topic, in case anyone reading my comment gets more interested in this: monoecious/diecious, androdiecious, gonochoric/hermaphroditic, parthenogenetic, self-fertilization, automictic, apomictic,

I love how they just bop around in the tanks lol.

nice

Beautiful! What are they called?

The lack of easily accessible information on fairy shrimp in general is a real bummer, I struggle a lot finding things too. Your channel and website and what you're doing is especially great because of that! ❤

Awesome Video. Nice background music. Nice video footage. No obnoxious channel promotions. Just sharing great information.

Yea.

First pin me 📍📌📍📌📌📌
