Mauritius - New Shrimp species and exclusive under water footage. Vol. 1

[@laattardo]

These shrimp are beautiful. What a wonderful ecosystem. How blessed you are to be able to explore this area. Thank you for sharing. Thank your friends who are on the front lines of conservation for that area.

[@AQUAPROS]

Thats it, moving to Mauritius.... I was 50/50 but then you found the akadama everywhere in that field... Cheers Chis, GREAT video!

[@chrislukhaup]

yes, i tought the same..all Akadama..mindblowing ;-) you should join me and Cory next time...told you !

[@rogeliomorales4872]

It is a paradise

[@ChadGardenSinLA]

lol - only an aquarist would understand that statement. I choose to move to Los Angeles & buy my home here b/c it’s warm enough that poinsettias can grow outdoors all year long.

[@DavidPrice-qu2yc]

Some of that creek footage you would not think the camera was under water it’s so clear. Amazing beauty in that part of the world

[@IMaqua]

It is so nice to see the natural habitat of some of our aquarium organism. Cheers Chris and greetings from Croatia.

[@brantonlightcap]

Looks like an amazing trip. That shrimp with all the gold dots was stunning.

[@Mauritius_Exotic_Fish]

Hello everyone 😶‍🌫️ Mauritius has some exceptional ecosystem that are untouched that i want to preserve & protect for the years and generations to come 💚🌿🐠🦐✨️🇲🇺 Enjoy the video 📹

[@chrislukhaup]

that is true ❤

[@B.Harper7]

@Mauritius_Exotic_Fish this looks incredible, do you offer working tours to come identify and search for flora and fauna with you?

[@chrishowell4775]

Thanks for sharing.I feel so blessed to have people like your self, to take the time and document these beautiful areas, and do such a good job explaining all of the wildlife and your experiences.

[@chrislukhaup]

thanx Chris ;-)

[@stefan00123]

Hi Chris, Thank you for bringing us along your trip! What a great footages! Hope you are Recovered from your trip! Have a wonderful evening, with love from the Netherlands Stefan

[@chrislukhaup]

Hey Stefan,i nearly recovered...just some things that i still can not forget ..esp. about the kids in MAda..poverty is brutal there.

[@chriscarey8169]

Thank you Raj! Awesome video!! Really enjoyed it! Chris Lukaup offered some advice when I first started Sulawesi shrimp nearly 15 years ago that really helped me out. I love watching his videos and now yours too! Great stuff!

[@floorfliegen5624]

The moss in question is some selaginella-species. Usually terrestrial, sometimes referred to as "moss-fern" (but it is it's own thing, from a botanical perspective). Lots of terrestrial or epiphytic/litophytic species, like Selaginella uncinata, are used and widely available in the terrarium-trade.

[@chrislukhaup]

thanx for letting me know ;-) i am curious if you recognize the stuff from Madagascar also..i have showed it to several people and nobody knew..incuding Dennerle, Tropica and Christel Kasselmann...

[@hatl29]

@@chrislukhaup Hey Chris, tolles Video. Ich bin mir da auch sehr sicher dass es sich um eine Selaginella Art handelt. Ist in der Terratistik sehr verbreitet. Dass niemad von Dennerle, Tropica und auch nicht Chrstel Kasselmann die erkannt hat finde ich seltsam.

Thats amazing 🎉 the shrimp are so fancy and the water quality so pure for all aquatic animals 😮😮❤❤ thank for great experience!

[@MandyJane123700]

What a wonderful beautiful place!

[@poolaynitimkumar3466]

Well done Raja and team. Amazing work never thought we have these beautiful nature in mauritius 🇲🇺

[@VdeMaz]

Great video! I am revising the taxonomy of Caridina from the Western Indian Ocean Islands and it is amazing to see them in live coloration for the first time! Those land-locked ones are probably C. richtersi and I agree with you that they must be as variable in coloration as in their rostrum morphology.

[@chrislukhaup]

we will do genetics on them with Werner Klotz and Kristina von Rintelen...;-)

[@timeepicvideos]

amazing footage. I will visit his shop when I go to Mauritius again. A tip we use for mosquitos I don't know if you have Vick Vapo rub where you are from but rubbing that on your exposed parts like neck arms legs etc a mozzie cant stand the smell or taste of your skin and you will perfectly fine. We use that when we go fish at night. Amazing shrimp finds

[@chrislukhaup]

i will try that the next time ;-)

[@adieaf61]

This is an amazing film. Thank you.

[@ChucksFeeesh]

Chris, you have quickly become my favorite channel.

[@RocsAquatics]

The video footage was quite inspiring! Great job!

[@Manuel_Pa]

The "moss" is most likely a Selaginella species, so not a moss but a Lycophyte at about 2:55 Does this grow fully submersed all year round? Or does this part of the creek fall dry some time during the seasons?

[@chrislukhaup]

its hav ing water all the time

[@Manuel_Pa]

@@chrislukhaup nice, that is highly interesting. Never heard of a fully aquatic species. Very interested in trying to grow these now

[@OliverKnott_aquascaper]

Thanks for the great video from your amazing trip ❤

[@chrislukhaup]

you are welcome my friend ;-)

[@norbertthoens3561]

Tolle Bilder aus dem paradiesischem Mauritius! 👍👍

[@TheFishingNomad]

Excellent video. I don't really care for shrimp or aquascaping, but I love traveling the world and catching as many different fish species as I can. Mauritius has been on my list of places to visit for a few years now. Would love to fish those creeks and catch that sleeper and eel. It's too bad about all those guppys and swordtails. It's a shame so many places around the world have so many non-native species around.

[@JIGGYWONKA]

Great video Chris!

[@chrislukhaup]

Thanx..working in Part II at the moment

Cant wait for the second part. Like others had mention, the plant is selaginella. I found them where I live as well (south east asia), but it is not near water source.

[@chrislukhaup]

this Sunday...already working on it.

[@sacks7448]

Man, these shrimp are beautiful.

[@bekhasilzhan1989]

Прекрасное и информативное видое! По больше бы таких видео, было очень интересно 👍 привет из Кыргызстана 🙌

[@spencer5082]

Love your content always. Just my opinion here. I struggle understanding some of the accents. When the background music is almost as loud as the person speaking especially. Many times I had to rewind and listen to multiple times to understand.

[@chrislukhaup]

sorry to hear that...i will put the music more down next time. Where are you from ?

[@Fishtory]

I hate elodia/ anachris. The hydrocotyle tripartita is one of my favorite plants. Lovely purple gagatas, strange to see them in flow and up on the weedy grasses. Very cool how remote of places the hobby has spread! Thanks Chris, I hope you don't mind, but I shared this video with my social media too, so hopefully some new faces may turn up :)

[@chrislukhaup]

I was on holiday in the fabulous Mauritius last year. I thought exactly the same about the rock. But for marine aquariums as well as fresh water.

[@nicholaskemp2246]

I'm hopefully going back again this year. This time, I'm looking closer at the streams and ponds. Just to look, not take ! Well, apart from taking photos of course!

The blue and yellow shrimp is incredible! It looks so perfectly camouflaged, especially in the first photo. Always a bit sad to see so many invasive species. It's like we've scattered McDonalds french fries all over the world.

Gorgeous!

[@danielthompson3205]

2:11 bird does look like one of our Ozzie 'budgies'. Clearly some took budgie smugglers to a new LV (Jk, guys our parakeets are now all over the world)

[@TedH71]

The plants you saw on the side of the creek are called elephant ear plants. The roots are edible. Just pull out the plant and then smash up the roots and they make the food called taro from it. Not a strong flavored food though.

[@chrislukhaup]

thaxn for the info ;-)

freely? This bird dont belong there. Its from Australia. Simple question..what will it eat in Mauritius?

​@@chrislukhaup so will you bring it to australia? no you put it in a cage whatever it ate everyday before you turned up an captured it

[@chrislukhaup]

@@iWaZziT dont be naiv. It would not have survived the week..this place is in a town ( Cupib) with lots of cats around and no food. So you want that it starves to death ? Not my fault that people put birds in cages. I dont.

[@iWaZziT]

@@chrislukhaup you think there is no food? what do other birds eat? well yeah then we should probably capture all wild animals and put them in zoos so they dont get hunted by predators!

[@chrislukhaup]

@@iWaZziT look..there is bids but look at the beak of the bird...it is not a woodpecker..and sugar cane is not one of his favorites...also not insects. Do you think that every bid can survive everywhere as long as there is a tree that they can sit on? How old are you ? 7 ?
