So glad the Planaria was the first thing you talked about. Literally putting you on hold to go look at my tank again. What I came to see if you talked about. I had a planarian trap, went to empty it yesterday and found 20-30 dead tiny baby shrimps in it. 😭

Can turtles eat planaria?

More likely planaria traps kill shrimp, not planaria. They are really slow.

[@chloejackson1628]

Avoiding 'Unstable environment' - I once heard this explained as 'mindful neglect'. When I first got my shrimp tank 3 years ago I was constantly tinkering about with it and my shrimp weren't doing so well. Then I heard this phrase and it really stuck with me, and ever since my shrimp tank has thrived. I had heard about them preferring cooler temps but mine are at 23-24c and it's never seemed to be a problem. They've bred so successfully (from a starting 10 shrimp to over 300) that I would actually quite like them to stop 😆

[@sophiabourgeois6196]

This is so helpful. I'm not proud of my mistake, but I lost my new shrimp because I tried to acclimate them like I did for fish, and just like you said, two out of four of them molted a few days after introduction and died. I would have loved if they told me this at the pet store...

[@marthanewsome6375]

FYI - No planaria is only safe for Rams horn snails. Great to use for hydra and to kill bladder snails. You can use shrimp soil or Amazonia, but use seiryu stone. It will add to the kh and gh you need with Neo's. Use dragon stone or any stone that is inert for caridina. If you suspect copper, get a copper test kit. Copper pipes do not do anything. Trace copper doesn't hurt them, like most ferts have in them. Yes,make sure meds are shrimp safe. Neo's can handle it up to 29 for short periods of time. Shrimp need small water changes if the tank is sparcley planted, but in a highly planted tank, water changes are not always necessary. The main thing I would stress as my number one reason shrimp die is not letting your tank fully cycle and age to grow a good amount of biolfilm for them. I have blue diamonds in a filter less, highly planted 15 liter vase. The substrate takes up 1/3 of the bottom. Layered from course scoria to sand at the top with shrimp sand sandwiched inbetween. It was going for 6 months before I added the shrimp. Like you said stability counts, but the older the setup, filtered or not filtered, the more stable it is.

[@randomraavi]

thats so much information! ive been dying to have shrimp but i know i dont know enough to start. thanks for sharing all that!

[@TheSoupDealer]

So does it kill mystery snails too?

[@mojocat7]

Great video! I'd just like to add that too many snails in the tank can also decrease your shrimp population. They reproduce quickly and compete for food with the shrimp. This happened with my ramshorns and neocaridina.

[@catherinesanchez1185]

This happened with a current small tank ! Rams horn snails started taking over

I have lost a lot of shrimp in a previous tank. They would just completely vanish. I assumed the crawfish was hunting them. Which is possible, but I never witnessed it happen. Maybe it was that conditions were bad, and the bodies were just being rapidly eating by the crawfish and snails. I now significantly upgraded to a larger aquarium with more areas for a shrimp to hide out of reach of the crawfish and the water itself is in much better condition, and so far so good.

[@pprazak]

Been keeping fish for over 30 years and tried shrimp found them to be both the hardest and easiest to do. Till you workout how to keep them they just die, one day you just work it out and then they are easy as. These 10 reasons are from my experience spot on, if fact make them your 10 rules for keeping shrimp and you will be successful without doubt. Really excellent video that’s going to help a lot of people succeed with shrimp.

Great timing! Last week I set up a shrimp only tank to breed yellow cherrys after having lots of success with red cherrys in a community tank. Turns out I misunderstood their temperature requirements and will be fixing the species only tank quick smart, dropping it down a few degrees.

[@rebos6432]

when i got my shrimp i 1 didnt acclimate them, 2 cycled my tank with a lot of fish food with copper, 3 didn’t have my ac on for when it was 85-90 degrees outside. and that’s my experience with shrimp and how i killed all my shrimp.

[@davyrobinson6576]

Just came across this and I'm really thankful for it, we have had 4 Amano shrimp in our community tank for the past 2 months and have recently introduced 5 cherry shrimp! Absolutely love keeping shrimp now and I genuinely feel like they are overlooked in the hobby!

[@nicquintana1092]

How are they doing?

[@krish2542]

Hi great list. One of the reason maybe we just bought shrimps that were raised in outdoor condition and put in an indoor aquarium. In that case, they might not adapt to indoor environment and start to die off, but the babies from those shrimps will adapt to the indoor aquarium as they grow without any problems and won't die so easily.

[@Wormwoodification]

Your plecos are the prettiest plecos I've ever seen. And I've been seeing them a lot as I'm looking at stock options. The white just on the tips of the fins is perfection.

[@dc2280]

I don't have a shrimp or even a tank. I just like your narration & honesty!

[@Shaden0040]

instead of corals you can use poultry grit made of crushed coral and oystershell and limestone, or you can add crushed eggshel which adds trace minerals for shrimp. a few grains of epsom salts also add trave elements, but use them sparingly.

[@marthanewsome6375]

Cuttle bone is also good, but I just use seiryu stone now. Looks good and things like buce, anubias and mosses attach so easily to it with some gel super glue.

I've had a 30 gallon goldfish aquarium for about a month now with two tiny goldfish, and there is plenty of algae and biofilm on the tank walls, plants, and a couple decorations. the water parameters are stable and ideal. I love the clip of the shrimp riding the snail at the end of the video

[@TheOnlyJMJ]

Not sure if you added shrimp yet, but I wouldn’t add cherry shrimp to anything with goldfish. You’re feeding them an expensive snack if they can’t hide.

[@mlucier1138]

Not new to fish keeping and now want to try shrimp after downsizing to a nano tank and can't thank you enough for this comprehensive video. Excited to keep trying if necessary to keep neocardina.

[@jawjagrrl]

Great list! I would add that neocaradinas can handle warmer water, but the tradeoff is a shorter lifespan. The warmer it is, the higher their metabolism is, so they breed faster, eat more, etc. and essentially "wear out" sooner. Mine took off in a very small tank better than my larger ones, but it's very difficult to maintain temp at a lower level because even the lowest wattage heaters still raise it to about 78-80f. No heater, the tank will go from 60-80 depending on time of day and season, so I've opted to keep a steady 78. Mine oldest are about 9 months old and I've lost a couple likely to old age (they live about a year from everything I have read).

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

Well, hey. Thanks for posting! I'm happy I stumbled upon your video. I had 2 colonies of neocaridinas, they were doing so well until about 2 months ago or so. Then they all died off. I think it's because I introduced new shrimp to the tanks. I was trying to introduce genetic variants, but instead I killed them all :(

[@rasapriyanaidoo4893]

Heyy, I'm new to shrimp keeping, but after doing some research, I found that adding a pinch of crushed eggshells help snails and shrimp with growth and molting. And with planaria I don't know how far this is true, but guppies help with getting rid of it. Hope this helps ; )

[@javelinjohnson9669]

Thanks for the informative video. What city do you live in? I am wondering because you sound Australian and I live in Melbourne and the water here is also fairly soft. So I am wondering how appropriate you think Melbourne water is for Crystal Red shrimp? Do you think it needs any treatment besides dechlorinating?

[@WhitePositive]

I set up a tank to go through it's adjustment phase, once matured with adding things like briny shrimp for fish or so, the general tank water has enough conditioning of it's own, such as plants and the coral skeleton... I don't dechlorinate, but I only change about 2lt out of a 30 litre so far... And have not put in shrimp. I go by semi-old fashioned methods instead of trying to keep up with products.

Don’t confuse snail leaches vs planaria. I got them infected plants. I was so pissed. Had to take down my snail tank, and found on a couple in the shrimp. Those one hanging on the bottom stretching look like snail leaches. They don’t have eyes, and are smaller then planaria. They are tear drop shape when stretching out to a long tube, but can curl up to a blob. .

[@DivinityinLove]

I ordered online from a nearby aquatics store, they're 3 hours away so no point trying to buy in person anyway, so other nearby stores sell these shrimp, only a chain store selling Amanos full size. I ordered blue, and cherry. My first time trying to have shrimp, I only have 2 amanos in my tropical tank (nobody told me at the store they like cool water, altho they're doing fine in there) today the 5 blue shrimp arrived, they were very small, I thought they'd be full-sized, blue, beautiful, 5 of them. I acclimated them about over an hour, same way I do with fish. I had a small filter in there, no gaps or large intake, within 30 mins of putting them in, I went to check up on them, two of them were stuck inside the outlet tube... which was clear so I could see.. I was horrified... I released them, and they seemed fine... But I did panic that now they'd be veryyy stressed and likely might die :///, about 30 mins later, I found one dead floating... :( That awful feeling of having live creatures and killing one instantly :( I did do fair research before getting them, I can only imagine that, shipping is not a great idea. When they first were in my tank, they were super active, my girlfriend thought its cause they're happy, but I thought they must be super stressed from delivery, being knocked around.. but were all alive when arrived. The only other thing I can think of, is being stuck in the filter although I don't even know how the heck they got in as there's no inlet open... no holes wide enough, I removed that filter and have a small sponge filter coming tomorrow, but I have not seen any of them since this afternoon, they've either settled under something, or are hiding due to stress or for all I know, are all dead :( But I don't want to disturb the tank incase they're recovering, so I'll have to check. The other thing is I'd not seen anything about light, but after checking today, something online said they do not like bright light.. I was planning to grow moss in there, so I had a bright lamp, I'm now ordering a low light clip on light for nano tank, but Id' love them to have lots of plants to hide in... just feel like such an amateur and that's not the best feeling, starting new, since I'd gotten to a fair level with tropical fish. So much to learn. I'm not sure if this is bad karma or good karma, but I did feed the dead one to my goldfish instead of throwing him in the bin or burying him, not a great feeling for the shrimp, but kinda good karma for my goldfish getting absolutely top nutrition from a fresh shrimp?! Sorry folks. :( seemed a better idea than the bin.

[@rafaquatics8686]

Dont worry I’m sure with enough experience you will get it right. I know that feeling, I recently purchased crystal red shrimp to try to breed them but they died a day after acclimating them, worst feeling ever. But I learned there were some mistakes I made and I am soon going to try again with all the research I’ve done, hope you do too and good luck with your shrimp!

It goes without saying....whenever you do a water change, no matter the species, always take the time to get the EXACT temperature of your tank, and know the parameters of tap water and those of the tank......makes life alot easier and tells you how much of a water change you should actually do.

Question 1. Just had a planeria outbreak. The newest addition was cholla wood however I boiled it for 5 hours and simmered for 18 more. It’s been 2 weeks since the addition and 5 weeks since I bought the red panda shrimp and it was half inch at TOD. Could it be the cholla? ?2 Should I change water while dosing with No Planeria? ?3 how to measure No Planeria for 1gallon tank?

[@marthanewsome6375]

No change the water then do the 3 day treatment as the directions say. Then the day after the 3rd treatment do a 25 to 30 percent water change. Prior to treatment take out any snails you have that are not rams horns. It will kill every other type of snail except ram horns.

[@EllaDoesMakeup]

My cardinals ate my shrimp. it was quite brutal actually. I think you should maybe add that rouge community fish can and will eat live shrimp. I'm now breeding artemia shrimp to feed them live food now as they are looking sad now they are lacking a live food source.

[@BONEKRUSHER408]

So like, the general hardness chart. My water comes out of the tap at around 220 ppm (fairly hard), I think my ro filters "waste water" is somewhere between 300-400 (hard). So could I use the "waste water" for my shrimp since they like hard water?

[@wmarian5027]

From my experience, planaria attack things immediately, in a swarm, when the things die. (e.g. when I accidentally smash a snail, they swarmed in). So when I find something dead, it quickly gets planaria infested (and is disgusting). I never had evidence that planaria attack anything alive. What have others observed?

[@rafaquatics8686]

Sounds like you’re talking about detritus worms, do they come from under the gravel?

[@hopewarrenbarber6759]

Sadly, I had 2 mystery snails in my shrimp tank that were killed by planeria. I think I was over feeding. I’d had the snails since finding them in the clutch and incubating them. They we’re almost a year old. One snail acted sick for several days…and eventually didn’t pass the smell test. When the second snail acted sick I took it out of the tank to examine it. It was barely alive but looked pretty rough. It used to have long tentacles but were short. When I turned it over and water poured from the shell… out came the planeria. 🤯 I had to euthanize my snail😢😢 So glad to learn here that the planeria traps can kill shrimplets. I treated my tank with panacure c after watching another video. Happy to report that my shrimp are alive and I see no evidence of worms at this time. Now I’m hoping my heavily planted tank will be a good home. I worry about the damage done to my substrate from over feeding. I’ve tried suction spot-cleaning with a blaster. I’d like to add a snail back in sometime, but I think that’s part of the reason I fed more. Maybe a bristlenose Pleco would help clean up? I’m ordering a feeding dish. I think I’ll see how that goes first. I can see a Pleco knocking the food out of the dish 🤷🏻‍♀️. Thanks for your video! I enjoy the info.. and the steady pace.

[@wmarian5027]

@@rafaquatics8686 these are fatter grayish pointy headed planaria..hard to confuse with detritus worms. They do come from all directions along surfaces, moving very deliberately towards their target, unless they are pacing around, on the move, looking for carrion. Like turkey vultures of my tank.

One reason why shrimp die was not mentioned. If you do everything right and give your shrimp the best living conditions possible, a few may die of old age. It happens. There isn't much you can do about it. Like frogs, they just croak. It's like humans too. I mean we eventually just wear out and then we're gone.

[@lowzibojine]

Oh, shoot! So I had a couple pass over the weekend both white bands likely to molting problems, so i decided I'd check and appriopriately treat the ph and nitrates and give it a very minor water change, I've since had another 2 pass. So, damn, I've triggered two of these. I over stressed the water and the shrimp! I will definitely try harder to not stress the little ones. I will not just try and fix the water all at once every single time a change occurs and I'll try and take a more monitoring approach to this and like one day maybe adjust the PH then a day or two later the Nitrates and after few more days to a week later do the water change, ect. Just take it more so step by step instead of just seeing the changes and panicing to put them all right, because as i've found out it helped nothing but the water itself and it's really sad but I've lost most of my first colony now... I'm going to definitely keep trying and be more careful and this video has helped my learn from my mistakes and shown me others to look out for.

Seachem Flourish killed all my shrimp but it doesn't say it contains copper on the bottle which was so frustrating. Now I use Easy Green fertilizer from aquarium co-op that is snail/shrimp safe and my plants do way better than they ever did with Flourish.

Fertilizers only should contain trace copper amounts not harmful to shrimp. It's possible something else killed them, because most ferts have trace copper as plants need it. But I have heard a lot of things about Flourish too so idk...
