Breeding Shrimp for Profit: My Experience So Far

In this video, I discuss how I set up an aquarium to breed shrimp for profit.

Yeah man. Definitely agree slightly larger tanks are optimal, long and low ideally like a 20 gallong long. Only thing I'd add if that's okay is established tanks are way better than new set ups.

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

I totally agree. Letting the tank mature before adding shrimp is definitely the way to go.

Baby shrimp need an abundance of biofilm, larger tanks provide that, in smaller tanks, feeding a baby food or powdered flake gives them something to feed on if the biofilm is not there, but uneaten powdered food creates biofilm

[@aquaticfanaticsuk]

That's interesting to know. Biofilm is what produces nutrients for plants

Great video mate, I've just started with shrimp, but I've got them in a small grow out tank small plecos, ive no babies yet but I've got a few berried shrimp, like yourself I'm feeding the plecos not the shrimp.

I've had loads more success since doing it this way. What colour shrimp have you got?
