This guy made a whole ass video of mixing shrimp colors and breeding them. Halfway through “yeah let me know if this works I’m actually color blind” I love this channel

[@gayefanner731]

Priceless! 👌

[@_GTX___]

So unfortunately shrimp genetics arnt as easy as putting a blue and a red together to get a purple. So Neocaridina shrimp can be broken into 4ish families. The snowballs are a family. The yellows, oranges and greens are a family. The reds, blue jelly’s and the blacks are a family. Then the last are Bloody Marys, blue dreams, blue velvet, chocolates and black roses. Now yellows can make green babies but blue dreams can’t. So those greens your seeing are from 2 yellows and not a yellow and a blue. When you cross shrimp that arnt in the same family you get clear wild type babies. But if you breed a Bloody Mary and a blue dream you will get blue and red babies but never both in one shrimp. Purple is the rarest color for freshwater shrimp. They pop up at random from blue velvet breeding groups. Hope this helps! :)

[@_GTX___]

Also to anyone who is thinking I’m cappin when you looked at the green ones. Did you see any blue and green ones? Nope there is just yellow and green ones.

[@nickvisser479]

That intresting so if I put blues with my reds would they mix or would they just have blue dreams and cherry?

[@_GTX___]

@@nickvisser479 well that depends. There are 2 or 3 different lines of “reds” if you have Bloody Mary reds then you should get red and blue shrimp. If you have like fire reds then you will probably just get clear shrimp if the blue and reds breed together.

[@jueadeo8843]

I believe he got the yellow shrimp from his yellow cherry colony and there's not a single green shrimp there. So surely, the blue would've had some factor to create the green/yellow shrimp outcome.

[@_GTX___]

@@jueadeo8843 well then why isn’t there any blue shrimp with green patches? Why is it only yellow shrimp with green patches? Yellows and greens come from the same family. Greens are created from yellows without blue shrimp being involved what so ever. A quick google search will tell you that crossing colors will pretty much lead to wild type colored shrimp. Aka clear.

[@kazdaspaz6544]

It's really cool seeing those almost emerald green shrimp. You never normally get crazy colours like that in the hobby. But shrimp just know how to make it work 🤣

[@PsychCow]

There is a flow chart you can look up on how to get which colors. Almost all of them are from "stuff like this" XD

[@kazdaspaz6544]

@@PsychCow I figured that would be the case hahaha 🤣

[@77nv]

It's as shrimple as that

[@tarundasniper]

How do i get green shrimp? Is there any way?

[@VirginiaBronson]

Those results are so cool!! In the yellow/blue group, there were almost every variation in between - emerald, aquamarine, neon green, etc. How neat! Thank you for sharing with us ❤️

[@frankzajac3158]

At the end of the video, 4:50, there is a baby that looks more like a neon greenish or even maybe an "aqua" blue/green, to me. It's not green but definitely a different shade of green than the others. Again at 5:01 there is a good comparison to a larger yellow/green shrimp front left of tank

[@MorphedWombat]

Omg that baby looks sick at 4:50

[@MorphedWombat]

I want to try this in a low maintenance tub doesn’t have to be lots of money which I like just throw in some Java moss and boom

[@Eli-akad]

The irony of him being color blind while conducting this experiment🤣

[@gayefanner731]

Priceless! 👌

[@AnubisFenrir]

4:00 We got you those are most definitely green, a nice bright green at that keep up the amazing work. 👌🏾 Can't wait until you produce those purple shrimp next

[@BillyRowe4]

The emerald greens look amazing! Loving this series as I am doing something similar currently

[@Dropshot.TV.]

Any luck ?

[@dimitrijekrstic7567]

​@@Dropshot.TV.this isn't about luck. Just look up the charts showing which colors can give which colors. Emerald greens don't come from blues in any way. In this video they came from the yellow ones. Once you get enough of them, you can separate them and breed only them, which in time will give you mostly green babies. For instance breeders of yellows (and other examples) know that they have to cull about 10-20% of shrimp anyways, cause they will be green. Same goes for other colors. It's called "breeding true" (or not, in which case they would give a high percentage of culls

[@Dropshot.TV.]

@@dimitrijekrstic7567 thank u for a better understanding of this 🤟🏻

[@emmasoanes7272]

watching this i want to cry, knowing what is involved with getting colours to their high quality and personally knowing that from cull tanks when they are mixed they tend to throw more wild colour (brownish/clear)

[@Wolfyfur2]

“Bare with me I’m colour blind” “here we have a brown shrimp” but it’s green. Haha love it, good work man 👌

[@gayefanner731]

Legend ! 😎

[@ESF19791111]

LOOKING GOOD :) LOVING THE GREEN AND THE YELLOW-GREEN :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

[@Jefada]

My favorites are still the blue. Love blue. The color you were asking was green and some had gold/green.

[@caliboy705]

The green is soooo green!! Greetings from California 😁

[@sreeraja1735]

I also breed shrimps in plastic bins. Just add some lava rocks and driftwood with moss attaches. They will breed like crazyyy 😂

[@sarahwoodring5587]

I'm also colorblind and I have an awful time even being able to see shrimp in my tanks against the substrate and the green plants. I finally found some rad orange shrimp and they're so much fun!

[@carlosb1874]

You should invest in color blind glasses so you can see the true beauty of your shrimps

[@MrAngel2U]

Hi. thaNK you for sharing. I had no idea Pothos were good in an aquatic setup

[@jameshunt4097]

Marble Queen pothos is a slightly slower grower than other pothos bcoz it's not producing as much green leaf to photosynthesise with. Also once it's root system establishes it'll start to push out leaves consistently. Love the bin idea as well mate, it came in handy when my son brought goldfish home and they needed a temporary pond

[@ericamontoya7168]

That's really cool, I didn't think they'd turn such a pretty color and have some cool colors! Hopefully the red and blue get going soon!

[@marly689]

Putting blue and yellow together should not have created green shrimp because genetics don't work like that. So I'm completely blown away by the fact that that's exactly what happened.

[@olabenne5519]

Saw your video in the morning. Back again . Great work!!

[@UpTopYuki]

whole video is about mixing colorful shrimp, bombshell at 4:20 I FORGOT TO TELL YOU I'M COLOUR BLIND. lol

[@IanArizpeArroyo]

3:58 funniest part of the video

[@gayefanner731]

Legendary 👌

[@Alexis-hb4fk]

I love this!!! Our local fish stores have red ones sometimes but typically just the clear ghost shrimps. I want blue and green ones!

[@derekgh3fan]

i love when you point to a super colorful one and call it brown its cute lol

[@gayefanner731]

Bless! ✌️

[@rexwater1]

Ain't he just the cutest!😜😍

[@alexnavarro7078]

You should get a pair of glasses that let you see colors

[@grundy1019]

I have red and blue shrimps in my tank and they had blue, red, clear and mainly brown with some a golden brownish colour. Very cool.

[@JJ_0134]

So cool! I’ve never seen colored shrimp like this before. They remind me of pretty patties 😄✨

[@caitlintom6360]

I’ve been waiting for thissss 🤩

[@paulstingray]

Greeeeeeen

[@dinimit4]

Sneaky ;)

[@paulstingray]

@@dinimit4 I breed a lot of shrimp 😂😂 But with filters and do water changes 🐄🐄

[@sblijheid]

How cute! You got green shrimp!

[@EKr33ger]

Was really hoping for more updates on this experiment

[@NinjaSushi2]

Nice! Here is the video I've been waiting on.

[@ShrimpMania]

Normally it doesn't work like that when you mix different colors of neos you going to get a brown wild type of shrimp. That green shrimps looks big and very mature there is no way they grow so big in 3 month. The shrimp only caring eggs for 30 days. Some blue shrimps has green tint in them and I think because they've been in the dark for so long they become pale and started to look more green

[@gigi3242]

ooooo, I need to get some yellows, I have really dark blues. Thanks for the research and the video. Be well

[@simoneboxler1065]

Ad marimo moss in the bucket! Need few light, are perfect for the shrimps and clean well the water!

[@yifanyin9845]

Yes they are green with some yellow patches. Kinda jade colour

[@kwokchor]

the green shrimp looks like they are yelllow in the inside but has a blue shell. this gives them an overall green color. its really cool!

[@Sue.5776]

Very cool, love the blue yellow mixing of these shrimp.

[@Gldfish-cp9yb]

Every now and then KZbin recommends me some golden videos and this is one don’t know why I’m so interested but I am

[@pullbackbaby]

This video made my morning with out even knowing the outcome. I will watch it in a few moments Thank you for following up 😂❤️👍

[@tricklingblue977]

Pretty cool! Also need that baby bettas update. How are those going? The colours must have come through more.

[@jueadeo8843]

I'm also waiting the betta update. Behind him you can see the crowntail bettas with the lavender colour but it looks like there's not as many of them left.

[@jamiebeam9919]

Have to point this out to you you said that brown mixed one it wasn’t brown it was a really nice colour the top was a green and almost camo pattern down to a yellow colour I’ve never seen that mutation in neo shrimp before nice

[@jaywrittenour5770]

You might want to consider getting a pair of EnChroma glasses so you can enjoy the colors you are breeding.

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

Wow, lime green & lemon lime shrimp. Very cool!

[@turi-ffic]

the bins are great. i would go with white or grey to see them tho.

[@annhorn1190]

Can you give more information on using the tubs. What do you feed them or are they eating the moss. Do you clean their poops from the bottom of the tub so no ammonia. Please share you wisdom

[@OnyxMafea]

Super cool! I saw a video of someone that had done something similar outside and the shrimps did amazing. Since then wanted to always give it a shot one day! Got some shrimp on my channel, they're super interesting to watch.

[@brendanashby6624]

That's pretty cool the yellow and blue breeded and made green ones that's the colour when you mix blue and yellow together

[@juancastaner2576]

Do you feed them while they're in the tubs? I am looking to do this in my summer tubs. Thanks

[@cheryldahl9192]

I have a yellow shrimp who is berried. I have other colors too, so it will be interesting to see what color her babies are.

[@adamjones826]

That's crazy 😍 definitely lime green shrimp

[@ryanbarton6739]

Look like the green and blue were breeding as well and got turquoise baby👍👍

[@cortlynnelliott1797]

You've created a whole new species 😂❤🎉

[@LatelierDeMandy]

I would like to know what's the ideal temprature for the shrimp. In the room I would like them it vary (winter/summer) 15° to 35°C

[@Kira-kg4kl]

Yeah those green shrimp look awesome 👌

[@wallyandjilly375]

I’m in love with the emerald shrimp!

[@WoodlandsWorld]

interested to see how this is going after a year

[@Homophobic_]

I don't have any fishes or shrimp...but i just love your videos man❤️...keep up the work❤️✨

[@gigglesjenni]

Love those green shrimp 🦐

[@jakolantern6790]

Great to see the progress

Yes, you definitely have some bright green shrimp and some with both yellow and green.

[@blackmoonmermaid4786]

bright neon green shrimp id love some

The green shrimp look amazing!

[@samuelcontreras9248]

Great stuff like always!

[@wingingitadventures]

I'm guessing you live somewhere warm. I may try this because I think I'm doing way too much. Not sure this will work with North Eastern weather but I'm enjoying your videos

[@Boogs_Aquatics]

Now I want to get some yelliws to mix with some of my blues. Local fish stores by me would buy all my lemon limes😂

[@calebwatson3023]

Very interesting results!!!!

[@gwenwilliams5940]

Just wondering if you still have these bins and how successful breeding has been. Lots of babies?

[@alohatime2171]

Do you dechlorinate your water or filter it before using on the shrimps or fish?

[@NetherViking]

Amazing results for the yellow and blue tank. :) Love the bright color green

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

They looked very cool, well done.

perfect timing, i just finished your first video on this

omg the shrimp are actually green nice i gotta try that one day!

Those green shrimp look so cool

[@tomaswall6935]

I like these simple experimental videos too that you drop back to every few weeks 👌

[@marneuscalgar001]

Very cool stuff, I have been buying skittles mixes and throwing them into my blue dream cull tank to see what comes out. Its exciting stuff you get all kinds of wild variations.

[@PsychCow]

I can't help but wonder what you are gonna do to cull the ones that aren't the right color of green if you're colorblind lol

[@Marjuuu]

If you took out the greenish ones and bred them separately would they stay green?

[@AngryKittens]

If you keep culling the ones which aren't, eventually the color will mostly stick (there will always be throwbacks, that's just genetics). But it will still revert if they mix with other strains.

[@narutohuntmendemon6354]

4:05 green, light green

[@winkythehomewrecker8387]

bought 3 "amano shrimp" (i knew they were too young to be true, but cheap atm) and got a blue jelly, orange and a schoko, now i've get an orange rili shrimp breeding project going on, and i didnt even look to breed to begin with.

[@tomsawyer9746]

Hi do you have any mosquitoes larvae in the tub?

[@joaooliveira6135]

How is this project going? I'm curious

[@hmoobdude391]

The biggest bomb dropped with all these different color shrimps and the attempt to cross breed is the fact that this dude is color blind 😂

so cool, didn't think you'd get green shrimp---wow

[@drecelle28]

hi, can i use coco fiber in breeding shrimps? instead of java moss? Thank you

Hahaha sorry we all yelled about the bin project on your last update. Tytyty for the upload

[@markcummings3146]

I asked on earlier video but how best to breed shrimp?

[@tengkimrothmanlim4418]

It would be good to update the survival rate of shrimps that you put in. Was wondering versus the "offsprings". Seems that the salvaged shrimps were much lesser compared to the initial batch
