Neos love algae,i put plants and rocks that are covered in algae and they pick them clean with in 24hrs. So I've found the more the better

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

The aged oak leaves I have are absolutely covered in algae. The shrimp have cleared it all off. The problem I'm worried about is I ended up with a hair algae outbreak in my tanks last time, and I'm trying to avoid it. I'm trying to figure out a way to grow hair algae so that I can feed the tank.

Great video mate

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

Cheers, mate, I've already started work on other shrimp related content.

[@williammitchell2846]

Have you checked out Mark's shrip tank's on KZbin?

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

Yes, I love Mark's shrimp tanks. I've used a few of his ideas in my videos. I posted a comment on his video the other day, and his reply was that I needed to start making more shrimp content. Other good channels I've been watching are Mark Shelley, Garden of Eder, and GBee Shrimp.

Nice one Keith always nice having a project going on

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

Cheers, Paul. I've never really had one like this before. I'm dying to know how far I can take it. I've been scratching my head since moving into this house on what I can do, and this seems to tick all the boxes for me.

Nice to have goals. You are doing it right One step at a time and learning before jumping in with high end Although I only have one aquarium with shrimp ..I do like them. I am trying to do the same with my shubunkin goldfish

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

I've had shrimp for a few years but kept them the way I keep snails. They were just there in the background. Now, I want to focus on keeping them with their needs as a priority and learning every step of the way. I want to get as much dialled in as possible before moving up a level. During my time with Goldfish, I found that I was very regimented. I knew a lot I didn't have other fish. I had a quarantine method with meds, I knew their diet well. I did very large regular water changes. I just knew them better than I do other fish. It's this level of knowledge and practice I hope to gain with shrimp. Like selecting show quality compared to pet shop grade like I could do with my ranchu and oranda. I really like your goldfish content and I look forward to seeing more of what you get up to.

Shrimping is the way forward. Baby food once a week when you see babies, I put cuttlefish bone into neos as a calcium source. You can add a pinch of bacterial powder as well, to add to the biofilm growth which also aids in baby survival

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

Glen, I am a sponge for information at the moment. I want to learn everything I can from Neos and then take it up a level.

[@tanksandfish]

yes i found with small tanks they can change faster so there not always best

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

I'm just using what I have for now, as soon as I can, I want to upgrade to a rack of 50 litres

[@TarasTankFriends]

I love shrimp. With my water, I could never keep crystals or Taiwan bees without buying ro water or an Ro system. Your shrimp look great, so do your plants 🙂👍

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

Cheers Tara! I've been told that I can keep tigers in my water as long as I use a soil tk buffer the ph down. So I'm thinking of having a go at those before I try bee shrimp, which will need RO water remineralised.

[@aquariumdelirium]

I have Keith and I’m posting your gold ones tomorrow

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

Awesome mate, I've just received the last of the stuff to ship yours!
