This channel is so underrated... keep up the good work.

[@freemansaquatics5326]

Agreed just keep on Nathan...you will be a big channel in the end it just takes time these days

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Hey man kind words. It's just patience is all. If this hobby teaches us anything its that lol

[@sergiomontano1685]

agree

[@Between_the_numbers]

i had a 5 gal tank with about 50 Blue dreams and i would go months without changing the water and the shrimp loved it.

[@AirQuotes848]

That is a beautiful set up

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Thank you

Hi, Nathan are you ok? Still waiting your lates video...

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I'm ok thanks for asking.

[@kayhalliday2676]

Lovely shrimp room. Wish mine was more filming friendly as well

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Took a lot of work to get it even this far and it still feels very far away from what I want in the end

[@Jay-xv1jd]

Hello, great set up! Quick question how long is your photo period 🤔 ? Thanks!

[@theworshipbunker]

What kind of light do you have on your 75 gallon and what does your lighting schedule look like??? How many hours of light do you run on the 75??? It looks great!!! The Java Fern and Rotalla are amazing!!! Goals man. Thanks for sharing.

[@twunderaquatics1770]

I love, love, love your shrimp room. I agree with another comment. Your channel is so underrated. Greetings from Virginia. Liked. And watched again.

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Thanks!

[@peaveystaxx3108]

Why remove the snails and floating plants?

[@willstruck2975]

I’m setting up two new shrimp tanks and one will have Robi Chan green jade shrimp

[@randybartlett5820]

I like your room. Very cool. Do you fertilize your plants? I set up a 40 gallon breeder at my office following your methods. Cherry shrimp orange colony. Doing well. Thanks.

[@MiraiNoha]

Hi thanks for the video, Now i got Planaria in my shrimp tank, any Natural way to solve the problem ? Thanks..Greeting from Malaysia..

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Not sure of a natural way besides fish eating them.

[@MiraiNoha]

Soo Shrimp Breeders thanks man...and yes i really like your CLEAR voice and Straight to point in all of your video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@artquatics3865]

What kinds of plants do you use in your tanks ? And what kind of substrate do you use?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I have a few videos on my plants. Substrate is ada amazonia and just inert gravel for neocaridina

[@abhaygadpalliwar5440]

Nice tanks.. which fertilizers do you use for your plants, dose liquid fertilizer dosing have any effect on shrimp babies?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I dont use any ferts

[@dondrewnyc]

Nathan, what feet’s do you use, if any? Seachem Excel ever dosed?

[@blackfeather4924]

Hey when are you going to make the gravel vac video? I asked a while ago and I know I'm not the only one who want to know. Please help me I'm not sure how I'd clean it!

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Can throw it in the next video

[@blackfeather4924]

@@SooShrimpBreeders Thank you so much!

[@Lucas_Kl04]

Which Lamps are over the aquariums they Look good

[@daiyondayon6056]

when do you typically start culling the next generation of shrimp?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

When I see ugly ones

[@daiyondayon6056]

Soo Shrimp Breeders i meant like is it accurate enough to cull when they’re 2 weeks old or do i have to wait longer to see of they get more color before culling

[@ImbecileDk250]

Hello Soo i have had a few berried Caridina's wich have vanished and i suppose died while berried, the other shrimps seem fine, and i cant measure anything abnormal in my water conditions. Got any ideas?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Honesty could be a variety of things. Would need to know more

[@tadbarker7082]

Subbed ! Great channel. 👍 Question: Does Purigen and/or Activated Carbon strip the BioFilm from the tank ? I know shrimp really need a well established tank full of BioFilm to munch on. I'm trying to set up a small home-show-tank with cherry shrimp. Not breeding. Would also like clear water... 90 litre tank (24"x16"x16"). Planted & Scaped. Nano Co2 dripper & lights 8 hours. Oase Biomass Thermo 250T & Matrix. Mini Lily & skimmer. 2 x mini air-stones. 25% WC very week. Happy to let it settle in for a few months before adding the shrimp. Don't want to strip all the good stuff away for the little guys... Any advice ?

[@Patrickrgm]

Are scuds a problem for cherry shrimps? I got some in my tank that I pipe out regularly.

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

From what I read they are just an eye sore and can compete with food.

[@LuizNunes74]

Do you sell your shrimp? Have you thought of having a tank with small crayfish? The knowledge would be appreciated.

[@kresnareihan7275]

Hi Nathan, i was just wondering. How do you deal with mosquito larvaes?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I have never had them so I honestly can't give very good advice on that

[@AdamKlopotowski]

Got a 10 gallon cycling so I can add shrimp. Any tips?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Watch all my videos!😂

[@laurenhanna3233]

I'm going to start breeding CBS and Tangerine Tigers to eventually get some galaxies-- any tips?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Cross the female offspring with Taiwan bee males

[@medusianAllure]

I'd like to see what the different stages of life look like and be able to identify what they look like. I'd also like to know what they may look like before and after molting. I currently am raising my first 10 shrimp babies so aaaah! Anxiety!

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Omg congrats!

[@cody0125]

I’ve noticed what appears to be seed shrimp. Do I need to worry about them in my tank?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I think they compete for food and are an eye sore..not sure how to deal them them

[@tylergotit926]

What camera do you use?great zoom

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I use a note 9. Also have a dlsr for macro but I never use it

[@r1dg3xrac3r]

Are plants necessary for shrimp ?

[@chrisscoggins8998]

What's the tall grass plant in that tank with the reds?

[@FredHOleniuk]

Sorry my question is not about offspring. I have read and heard on you tube that pine cones and other cones of conifers are not safe in shrimp tanks. I was interested in using these types of cones as botanicals. I have not found any information as to why these cones are not safe. Do you know of any information regarding the use of these types of cones as botanicals. Thanks Fred O

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Pine cones are a no...I remember somebody telling me they are toxic. I just stick with alder cones and indian almond leaves

[@mauricioramozjr8478]

Hi. I’ve been having troubles with my neos. Had them for around 5 months or so in a 20 gallon long with guppy grass and dwarf Sagittaria which provides a lot of cover along with a piece of drift wood. They aren’t breeding and I began with 20. Couple weeks ago, I started to lose them one by one each day. I lost about three and then I did a water change. The losses kept going. I lost around 6 or 7. Since then, I got some Bacteria AE and it seems to subside. Additionally, i put two very young guppies inside with hopes that they can help provide more of a food source. The tank is ran on a large sponge filter and has a very thin layer of eco-complete gravel. My water comes out of the tap at high ph and hardness. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and am a college student. I’d love to get an Ro unit and the shrimp additive salts but i cannot at the moment; the shrimp alone were a big investment that i had to wait for. But until then, I’ve been using my tap and dechlorinator from a local fish store. Ive recently switched to prime but have not used that yet. I, in the beginning, tried to feed around every other day as suggested by the seller. I fed sinking pellets from hikari, got some snowflake pellets, bee pollen, and some other various types of fish pellets... an unrelated topic is i have guppies that fail to breed in a separate tank and I’ve had those for about 9 months. ALSO, Is there anyway I can contact you via an email for help? I appreciate any help you van offer!

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

They sell ro water at grocery stores. I would suggest if you have only a few tanks to buy that. Like 3 bucks for 5 gallons or less

[@mauricioramozjr8478]

Soo Shrimp Breeders How would I transition to the salts. I was thinking that since 20 gallons is from my tap and I changed to RO, wouldn’t the amounts of salt differ?

[@yvan9234]

If my test shows me that there is no nitrate in the water (even without any water change) Do I still need to change my water sometimes? Or I can let the plants doing the job? In a nutshell, if the nitrates are always near « 0 » could I never change my water?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Fresh water is always good but not as often with lots of plants

[@victoriabelanger7010]

Are you located in Sault Ste Marie Ontario ?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Yup

[@albarmustofa5094]

how to kill planaria worms with medication, but is it safe for baby shrimp?

[@plantednanolife7051]

Funny enough ive had fry in my 6 gal that has gone over two months without a water change mind you it's a jungle tank

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Yeah plants are amazing for being lazy like me

[@Its_Joni]

Sometimes my shrimp drop there eggs is that normal?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

It can be if they are getting picked on or the water parameters changed and it molted too early.

[@Its_Joni]
