Awesome 👌

It's amazing to see others taking their own journey like you! Knowledge gained through experience is truly invaluable.

600 to 800 ml of soil

👍the link wouldn't work for you because they are local.

Merci

Next one I tested it be ok 👍 thanks for the kind words.

i just downloaded Audacity, tested and simple. but thanks yes, i'll look around for alternative if this one fail. there be a few that is still quite low but not as low but the new ones i'm making will have significant difference, i realize that. When you view it on the phone does it have the same problem?

@@ShrimpSanctuaryyes it’s still a bit low from phone and Air Pods

Awesome.

Where to find that document about LIGHT-Pigementation ?

@ We don't own the rights to the paper, but the long and short is too bright a light for prolong period can cause BB to lose their color vs in Darker environment.

@@ShrimpSanctuary I have Red Neo's for 10y. i can say to You privately, how I'm testing - are color deep enough ;) All depends on light ;)

do you have in SG some shrimp clubs, or something like aquarium clubs? Shold be some organisation, witch oganizing contests.

@@monjak2444 yes I have downloaded a new software and tested it. There be still some videos that are already done will have this issue but newer ones will be ok. Frankly I didn't know those youtubers don't do water change until I release the video. But I guess if there is nothing to hide then why ban others. Yes I'm sure there are plenty of good people.

And why would you think all no water change advocates are misleading? The loudest mouths are often the most misleading. So yes, I do get where you are coming from. But to classify all people with no waterchanges as people who lack transparency is ridiculous, it just shows both sides have adamant mindsets with no possibility of change. I run no water change tanks, I advocate for them too, and I also have nothing to profit from doing this. I don't sell anything, I'm not an influencer and yet I stand by it. But it's also important to understand the limitations of such methods. If you are breeding sensitive very high grade shrimp or looking to be competition ready, yes, do all the water changes you want. In fact, I think water changes is rather beneficial. But if set up correctly, they become negligible and only need to be done far less often. I run my tanks with a crap load of plants and use riparium concepts by having house plants in my tank as well, my parameters are always in control. I think people trying to make it like a fight is only going to divide hobbyists further, just understand and know that on both camps, there are always extremists and misguided information.

@@calvite100 Regardless of the methods used, whether it's with or without water changes, silencing one perspective is indefensible. I also firmly believe it only serves to widen the divide. Embracing diverse viewpoints is healthy and invaluable, but censoring one side equates to collusion aimed at asserting superiority over the other. We welcome open discussions and varying opinions, yet many before us have been silenced-not just on the topic of water changes, but on broader issues. It’s crucial to give voice to those fallen hobbyists, to acknowledge the silence left in their absence, and to reflect on what is lost when perspectives are dismissed. Their experiences hold lessons, their viewpoints hold value, and their struggles remind us that progress comes not from agreement, but from understanding.

@@ShrimpSanctuary I absolutely agree, it's important to always keep learning and improving in this hobby, it's actually why I love it so much too, I'm always trying to improve my tank and the lives that live within it

@@calvite100 sorry let me refrase that its not all people who dont do waterchange infact i have nothing against your method of breeding shrimp its that little handful including one of the influencers there is trying hard to push it on people an other guys on social media there kinda mock people who do waterchange ,an if you say something you get banned personally i dont care if i get banned from those people but newer people to the hobby can get the wrong impression an just leave the hobby with a bad experience an that s not fair i think.

Somebody has to stand up to these things even if isn't popular choice. ❤

We can unite to grow stronger.

Can't go wrong with that.

❤❤

I feel you! It's about building a strong community together.

I appreciate the heads up and will look into it!

by the way, it was just your last 3 videos, the sound seems to be lower and lower since the "your shrimp deserve better:..." video

Working on it!

It seems phone works better the audio and on my laptop the sound is soft. I will look at downloading a new software for the voice recording.

nice! keep up the good work! shrimpy salutes from Portugal! ;)

No fear

Appreciate it !

beli dari mana bang 4 hari baru sampai tu?

@faeizimohd941 penang to kota kinabalu 😂☺️

615 is moss 620 is Madagascar lace plant.

Slowly but surely.

i have use some over 1 year, some are still new, but it also depend on the soil we use and how acidic it is. i find that at pH 6, nothing happens at all. But with much lower pH it may. But that is beside the point Our long term goal is to manufacture the plastic ones at a much durable rate. Also with the current one which is inexpensive, even if we have to change one every year, i think it is worth it. Reason is if we are able to save per tank 2 to 3 hours of reset time, we would have save easily over 200-300 hours, which is 12.5 days of our life per year for 100 tanks. we value time more, hence we thought of this however, this isn't the final outcome/product we are satisfied with, but we needed to test for all the tanks to ensure we walk the talk. So far i think this method has more advantage then disadvantage. It is great that people are picking this method up. Like i have mentioned, we don't sell the basket at all, we are sharing the concept that we are currently testing for some time and then refine it over time.

Awesome to hear you're getting so much success with your tanks!

Find us on our website. Shrimpsanctuary.com we ship globally

Yes they are !

only seller with Black Rose OEs that i can find in the US that ships for me would be 400$ (without shipping) for a breed set of two high quality males and females. Heart Broken.

Danke Schon

Yes of cos

Madshrimp has yellow eye yellow back thou but kinda expensive

@@ShrimpSanctuary Are you selling OE Neos?

pleasure

Someone from France has it but if not For baby dust, i think either from Germany or Italy is ok

Your argument boils down to "water changes make me feel good", with a bit of artistic and poetic spice thrown in. That's not science, and you shouldn't label it as such.

Yup works well for Neocaridina and heavily planted, if the shrimps are part of the entire ecosystem without the need to do selective breeding, and a controlled feeding routine will probably work. on a side note based on our experience most test kits (liquid) loses it's accuracy over 2-3 months once open, and it's a pain to keep buying them but what we realize that because it misfires so much (API/Sera/Columbo/etc) and the test results fluctuate so much between a 3 month 6 month 9 month 12 month test kit.

@ShrimpSanctuary 👍

👍👍

In the beginning, we too hesitated when it came to water changes. Every time we performed one, some shrimp would die. This led us to avoid water changes altogether, and the deaths stopped. However, as the years went by and we managed hundreds of tanks, we realized the truth: it wasn’t the water changes causing the shrimp to die, but rather the shrimp themselves-those that were already weak or predisposed to issues like failed molts. Nature thrives on change; it brings both life and death. If we allow fear to hold us back, we risk missing the opportunity to break through to the next level. This applies not just to water changes but also to pH concerns. We’ve visited over ten global breeders, collectively managing thousands of tanks and hundreds of thousands of shrimp. Many of their reverse osmosis systems operate with a pH as low as 5.0, with their tanks maintaining a pH around 5.3. Does it matter? Again, it’s not about the specific metrics but what they represent: an optimized environment for healthier, thriving shrimp. To draw a parallel, think of exercise: it’s not an instant solution, but with consistent effort over years, it significantly improves health. That said, many people live without exercising and seem fine-but do they truly experience the vitality and benefits that come from regular exercise over time? Likely not. This concept applies directly to water changes. The goal isn’t simply to increase the number of shrimp but to foster a healthier environment that yields observable benefits over time. This consistent effort is what enabled us to achieve the prestigious *Best in Show 2024*. Water changes are not just routine maintenance-they’re an investment in the long-term health and vitality of your shrimp.

So would you say that the weak shrimp would have lived had there been no water change?

I agree with original comment changing water “changes” the water.

@@meegssan5716 Nature’s relentless hand ensures that everything succumbs to its will. Through the years, one truth remains: nature always prevails. In the end, all living things perish-be it you, me, or anything that breathes. The sooner you accept that natural selection occurs as inevitably as rain-washing away the old in a torrent, leaving fish and shrimp lifeless in its wake-the better you’ll understand this is simply the way of nature.

@@ShrimpSanctuary I agree and I was totally against not changing water. However, I simply cannot argue with the results. I check my water parameters weekly all of my shrimp are thriving. The results speaks from themselves. I never had this kind of breeding when I did water changes. It's night and day.

We experience it too and we find that if a tank is cycled long till maturity before putting the shrimps in, and if the shrimps are from your own other tank, wc will work better vs not. If the tank were not fully mature and the shrimps imported, chances are stability is key and holding off wc for a period of time till the tank and shrimp eases in before wc happens will help. So it isn't about wc or no wc, it's about at which point are we at and the standards we hold to ourselves on things like tank maturity, and such. And that is one advantage of having more tanks to be able to see and experience quicker.

Thanks for the kind words

@@saler1423 shrimps thank you 😆😆♥️

@@garthantash 100% agree with ur method. Same works for me after so much experimenting so why change it? Best of luck to you bro

Yup that works 20% every 2-3 weeks.

👍👍

I used to think that they don't contribute to a lot of bioload but I stand corrected. Also we use active soil which keep breaking down constantly into waste. When all of these come together Nitrate keeps going up.

@@glpshrimp6301 how's your tanks going ?

@ shut them all down I lost interest in them to be honest.

@@glpshrimp6301 thanks for still watching.

@ I’m still interested in it all and will no doubt set a tank up again soon

I agree with you about this matter, they're sensitive animals, so shrimps competition is complicated

@@calvite100 👍👍

I used quite a lot of Bacter AE in the past till we stop using them, they are actually probiotics and can be use for cleaning the guts, but anything that goes into the tank and not utilized turns into ammonia and then converting to nitrate. That nutrient imbalance will cause green wall. High PO4 and Nitrate.

Thanks for the information. I have green walls but they just appeared from using ada amazonia v1. I have bacter ae but I am unsure to use in my tanks. Do you recommend to use bacter ae?

@@grantmurphy7893 I think in small doses it is fine, but i don't see any correlation with using it long term and better health so as long as the feed you are feeding contains probiotics.
