[@ncc3709]

Randomly watched this and was like in awe. Learnt alot, didnt know there're so many types of shrimps. This is really cool.

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

[@RWAquariumPages]

Honestly, this is one amazing video, ill never get a chance to visit sg in my life but living through your awesome video footage and interviews is great. These are very hugh quality shrimp, in canada we are many years behind in high end shrinp. Great work and cant wait till yoyr next videos

[@ShrimpMania]

Thank you Ray, glad you liked it! Yes, Kelvin's shrimp are on another level, very professional breeder!

[@RWAquariumPages]

@@ShrimpMania amazing, I follow him on ig. Thx for the great shrimp mania content!!

[@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.

[@GlassBoxDiaries]

Excellent video mate, definatley making me want to try a Caridina tank next year!

[@Rich77UK]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@Kaandingenc]

I'm waiting for this video for a long time. Thanks for content like this. I have a happy day when ShrimpMania drops a new video.

[@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

[@cruise.risingsoul]

Cool video! Been starting something up myself

[@tonycarver9570]

[@notamoose231]

@@ShrimpMania Check this out, since I watched this video, I found a supplier and ordered that TM-1 nutrient solution, because I was curious to see if it worked, and I have some crystal reds that I feel should be breeding but aren't. It came in the mail yesterday and I dosed it, and tonight there is a berried female, where there were none. Never would have bought it had Mr. Wong not said it worked, and I'm thinking that it does, or else that's one heck of a coincidence.

[@ShrimpMania]

@@notamoose231 yes I also tried and I think it helps

[@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.. 😂😔

[@AVENTUS7777]

I love the stardust shrimp bro

[@Aestheticgirllover01]

Holy crap! Didn’t know that there were sooo many different varieties and grades in them. A good know video…, I used to wonder why my fish 🐟 die fast in my tank

[@riceball3105]

So do you like eat it? Or keep it as a pet?

[@erikmeraz5539]

Need this answer what’s the difference between these and the store bought ones

[@alexmartin1006]

They've gotta be pets....no way I'm paying hundreds of dollars for 3 prawns 😅😂

[@cooliipie]

.....

[@iphone_4s681]

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!

[@snjvrd]

He's a master breeder and a master baiter.......

[@vivek-1318]

Awesome

[@thetruthserum2816]

I am curious about his bacterial powder, lubao feeder bags, recipe and process.... Seems like the food he uses works great and doesn't foul the water. @12:40 Anyone have tips on the food?

[@CurtReinert]

I'm excited and my wallet is crying.

[@ace-pe2jw]

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

[@Nigelaquaticsfish]

Just remember shrimp are amazing

[@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 😬😄

[@its_elser]

amazing. so what soil is best to get now for Caridina? thx

[@ShrimpMania]

Not many choices now. Ada if you still can find it

[@its_elser]

@@ShrimpMania sadly i cant find it here in Australia. Is there anything else as i was hoping to get into the Caridina shrimp hobby. Thx

[@ShrimpMania]

@@its_elser Yes if you are in the US you can use Brightwell soil. I heard it can lower pgh to 5.5. I'd love to try it but it's not available here

[@ShrimpMania]

@@its_elser oh my bad, you said Australia sorry, don't know much about your country

[@woltergrant]

@@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?

[@Abudiruki]

[@bigbotno1]

As light is important for a green wall, please ask breeders what's important. Lumen vs liters, color (Kelvin), amount of PAR, hours of lighting. Thnx. 🙂

[@Matraka2000]

Are they pets or can be eaten? Do they taste better. How long do they live as pets?

[@emmaribena5529]

Why do people keep shrimp? and why are they so expensive? genuinely interested. I keep fish, and have recently adopted a shrimp tank from someone....I just can't understand why people keep them! thanks xx

[@peoplesarena039]

[@FusionSempai]

Those are some expensive shrips! I googled that they live for about 1-2 years... So I guess the most bang for your buck is to have them to breed and sell?

[@ShrimpMania]

They can make 20 babies a month in best case scenario. So yeah the plan is to breed and sell

[@FusionSempai]

@@ShrimpMania just stumbled on this hobby ha. Curious.. the female shrimp’s lifespan would shorten each birth? Which also means they don’t usually live as long as expected?

[@alltimebest6108]

Who will buy it by the way? Even money is there I won't Btw love the video❤

Okay wait so tds 100-120and a gh of 4?? For all of the tanks? I am so lost when it comes to these 😅 I’ve got my tds to about 160 and maybe a gh of 6? Looking to start with crystal red shrimp but still waiting on my walls to get a bit greener.
