I had bought a group of cherry shrimp at a local auction. Put them in a tank with wild type guppies and let the water go green. When I cleaned the tank the last few days I ended up with low grade cherries and a lot of solid dark red/brown and not much of anything between those colors. Apparently the dark red/browns are called chocolate . Waiting a few days to see if they lighten up in color now they aren't in green water.

I totally agree if they don't know the market. I was mostly referring to making a barter / trade or package deal with other hobbyists when i said that, i suppose. I guess Ive always given a 3 price structure based on grade A, B and culls ... usually selling mostly 60% B's and maybe 30% A's With 10% wanting culls for kids or nature scapes.

Hello, I need some advice please. I have been keeping red cherries in a 38 gallon for about two years And they bred like crazy and I never sold any. Had thousands of them and recently been selling a lot. How should I make sure I don’t oversell so the colony keeps breeding? When I feed they come out and cover almost all the bottom of a 38 gallon. Probably about 300-500 would be my guess Am I safe to keep selling 20-30 at a time a every week or so?
@Fishtory
@Fishtory 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I would say, always keep 75 to 100 adults... and sell the juvenile/ almost grown ones... (inevitably you'll miss some and they'll become adults too) then you also cut down on competition between siblings... 2month old vs 4 month old shrimp will fight over food a lot. You've undoubtedly seen them 'steal' food and swim off with it lol. But with that size colony...as long as you have quite a few plants or stone pile hiding spots, you'll Likely never run out, at the 20 to 40 a month count... if you can, sell em to consumers and not stores ..you make so much more and it sort of self-limits how much you depleat the colony. Best of luck!

Right now I think the price of earth tone mixes/ wild type, whatever are still so much that the bio availability still wouldn't be cost effective, but it would also be a handy tool for selective breeding if you didn't have the extra tank space or readily available market.

@Fishtory
@Fishtory 4 жыл бұрын
No... or rather, not for more than a few hours likely. Usually neocaridina shrimp and caridina shrimp have a male insert a little donut shaped sperm pack at the exit of the female's ovaduct lines... so thats the "🔑key " that will unlock her saddle...so then she releases her saddled eggs and each one has to rub on the donut of sperm, thus before exiting her ovaduct tubes she will have already made sure they're fertilized...usually if an egg js misshapen or damaged, she'll just lay it on the ground or eat it for the vitamins and calcium.

Susswasseetang aka round pelia ...its amazing and can be made dense with co2 and trimming or nice and loose just floating freely. Perfect for fry and shrimp and I have a great video on The History of Susswasseetang (also spelled Sußwassertang )

if a male shrimp doesn't impregnate a female, will she still drop her eggs from her saddle?
@Fishtory
@Fishtory Жыл бұрын
She may, but theyll drop completely to the ground as she moves them. But more often, she will re-absorb the nutrients for the next time

@@Fishtory thank you for responding! I'm preparing to start breeding and hopefully selling shrimp and snails. Spoken with a few local fish stores near me and they expressed interest in buying shrimp from breeders with the same water parameters as them & their customers (no brainer). Super excited to get more into it. Have to get more tanks and have them cycled and seasoned for them first. Hate the waiting 😅 thanks again for the reply and thank you for this video. It was very helpful

No problem. And good luck to you too! I do also do skype/zoom/phone consulting about aquariums/aquarium business and aquatic plants + marketing, logo work and branding (I've combined all my jobs into one consulting specialty haha). Id you have a question or two ill always try my best to answer them. But if you want to chat in depth just let me know and we can set something up. There's a lot of ways to save money with shrimp (like filtration or heaters + much more) , and other things that you should actually spend decent money on (substrates and additives to water if anything other than neocaridina or malawa shrimp). Also, id just warn you, that you probably won't be able to beat asian sources for neo shrimp (if your lfs can find them currently, that is!). Selling to individuals is where it is at, for sure. And bundling things like catapa leaves and bacter ae bought in bulk and portioned out as samples etc. I have a shrimp playlist with more info and hope you may find some more of what you're looking for, while you scour youtube. Take care and thanks for dropping a line

Yes planaria. From over feeding. I just cut back feeding and they go away... or I get some scarlet badis to breed in there and move the shrimp babies out
