[@shrimshrimma1243]

Finally! KW shrimps. My respect and thanks.

[@ShrimpMania]

You are welcome!👍

[@Aquariumike]

These shrimps are next level, in Europe Kevin works with Yukishrimp, they got all his assortiment and can provide them for a fair price. Owner of yukishrimp has been trained and working with Kevin for years, he is a true master breeder. I am expecting them in a few weeks, cant wait! Also Yuki has the perfect food and is always willing to advise on setup.

[@awdwadawda352]

Actually ordering some Neo's from Yuki today. Cannot find food on his site tho.

[@ThomasMarineLife95]

Well done on your setup. Amazing breeding and nice clean, healthy shrimp! Amazing😍😍

[@shishir1395]

Awesome shrimps these made me to go and buy some shrimps for myself today😍😍 Thanks for the video

Even the low graded are amazing! hopefully one day I can get so much variety!

Glad you enjoyed Mario! Next? Hmm..will probably do some boring stuff in the shrimp room

[@refakmakeen5248]

Great content as usual shrimp mania ❤. Amazing shrimp store ❤❤❤

[@ShrimpMania]

Glad you enjoyed it, buddy!

[@kc579-w2u]

What I found most interesting is when Kevin talked about the giant tank at the last part of the video. Firstly, he is testing Jun Master soil with some success. It's decently cheap in Singapore, I might use it for my future tank. Secondly, he's using UGF connected to a canister filter, that's a novel idea! Gonna need to head down to his store one day and talk to him about this setup.

[@ShrimpMania]

I was amazed at how experienced is Kelvin with the shrimp. You should definitely visit his shop one day its awesome experience

[@oilucky1]

Thank you KZbin for randomly recommending me this video such beautiful shrimp wish these were available in the US

[@romansera]

First time learning about this...totally interested in starting a small tank. Thanks for the info.

[@ShrimpMania]

This is an Awesome hobby! I'm sure you will enjoy it!

[@nchn8198]

Great video! What I like most is your Sony GM16-35 lense. so clear so superb!

[@ShrimpMania]

Thanks, it's awesome lens indeed after I upgraded to GM II it became even better!

[@nchn8198]

@@ShrimpMania would you be able to share your sony camera settings? I am learning to take videos with my A7C. Do you use SLOG?

[@ShrimpMania]

@@nchn8198 Hey, I don't use Slog it's too much hassle to colour grade, you can if you know how to do it. I simply use a standard profile. When you film shrimp try to use a lot of light, adding some extra light is always good! F stops as high as possible 7-9 is ok to have more focus area. ISO is as low as possible below 2000. Sutter speed should be double your frame rate 50 for 25 fps, 60 for 30 and so on

[@awdwadawda352]

Kelvin: "You should see my home". Everyone: "Yes, please".

Would like to see a video and seed shrimp Ostracods. If they are good or bad to have an a tank.

[@jumpingkettle]

3:05 when the babies grow up, you don't want the ugly ones to remain in the breeding tank. LOL i felt that.. 😂😔

[@iphone_4s]

breeding ratio? uhh 5 males, 50 females. those 5 male shrimp the luckiest mf's

[@brucehsueh1278]

Not really. A female shrimp, at her prime breeding age, molts about once a month. Right after molting, at her most vulnerable condition, it's the only time a male has a chance of mating her. With 50:5 ratio, a male mates every three days in average. Do you know how long the act actually lasts? - about two second!

[@cipriancoada1284]

​@@brucehsueh1278 so 20 seconds short from us. I see..

[@gabrieldelgado7604]

What parameters, substrate and mineral is good for boas?

[@SimplyAquaticCT]

Also my friend, please tell me what lens you are using on the handheld camera? It's so good at getting shrimp and vlog? Surely not a 24-70?

[@SimplyAquaticCT]

Ah it looks like 16-35, I need to try this more because I also have one..

[@ShrimpMania]

@@SimplyAquaticCT It is 16-35, if you buy it make sure you get Mark II, it has a closer focus distance that works way better to film the shrimp. I just upgraded from Mark 1 and it's a huge difference for me

[@SimplyAquaticCT]

​@@ShrimpMania Ah okay that's the secret, I still have the MK1 and it just doesn't deliver the same results. I'm also considering the 90mm Macro however for the close ups 😬

[@ShrimpMania]

@@SimplyAquaticCT Mark I still work ok, I did a Shrimps Affair video with it and it was ok for vloging and filming shrimp at the same time. But that 5cm shorter distance on Mark II gives you a better result. Yes, I used 90mm for macro. In this video Kelvin also filmed his shrimp with his Canon 100mm macro lens, I think it does a better job than sony 90mm, the orange boas macros made on the canon and they look very sharp and it can get a bit closer

[@SimplyAquaticCT]

@@ShrimpMania amazing, thanks for sharing the info! I have also used the canon 100mm a few years ago and it's a fantastic lens, but like you I'm a sony guy 😬😄

[@leeboy8689]

[@EliteCongo]

I wonder if he got the chance to ask him about the nitrate levels with the Lubao bags and what he thought, he seems to love them but also comes with side effects 😮

[@ShrimpMania]

Yep. This is one of the reasons actually to adding Lubao to get some extra nutrients for the plants and green walls. They both feeding on nitrates

@@ShrimpManiayes this is an interesting subject. Wondering if you discussed this with Kelvin further. He must be “nervous” (for lack of a better word) that his ADA supply is running out. He even mentions mixing new with old to try to extend that. He mentioned one other soil, but did he discuss with you his thoughts on this and testing other soils or what he thinks he will do?
