EVERYTHING I Know About Red Cherry Shrimp in 90 minutes!

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Did you know, I recently wrote the most comprehensive book ever written about keeping, feeding and breeding Cherry Shrimp. Check it out here neocaridina-shrimp-handbook.com

We need more long vids, unironically.

[@HypnoNett]

90 mins!! Awesome!!!!

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Yeah, it was a marathon! Not one I’ll be repeating 😂

[@WhiteCloudAffinity]

Personally the easiest plants are: java moss, frogbit, java fern, anubias, pearlweed, rotala and crypts(crypts & swords if you have a deep substrate system)

90 minutes that's longer than some movies. I'll come back with Popcorn later to watch it all in one hit.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

wow this is a very long video... I love it!!

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Thank you. It was a marathon 😫

[@dereksmith8962]

Hi, I’m really interested in starting shrimp breeding, you make it look really doable. Where is the near place buy shrimp?

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

It really is doable my friend. I don’t know where in the world you are based, so it is difficult to suggest somewhere to buy shrimp 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Guy1nthecorner613]

As a college student that just got into the hobby, long videos like this are great to listen to while I’m studying. Hope you make more long videos🙏

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Thank you so much for the feedback. This was a mission to make, but I am pleased people are finding it helpful 👍🏻

[@linzynason7000]

Thank you so much for your videos on cherry shrimp. It has helped me so much in setting up my first shrimp tank. I have 4 berries females and a bunch of baby shrimp in only two months! I had a couple shrimp deaths in the beginning but I figured out what I was going wrong.

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Glad you got it sorted and your colony is doing well. 👍🏻

[@mattiabressan3581]

thanks for alla the info provided, you are very clear also for a foreign speaker!

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

You are very welcome 🫶🏻

[@NosyfusBazenski]

I just ordered your book! I'm so excited to read it!

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy reading it 🫶🏻

Richard, I wanted to ask about proper сulling. At what age is it better to do it, can a young female gain good coloration with age, or is it already clear in adolescence?

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Hi. Personally I cull at around the 2 to 3 month mark. At that point you can tell the really good colour shrimp from the average ones. With that said, cull for me means moving to a dedicated cull tank rather than kill, so I can always reintroduce a shrimp that suddenly colours up.

[@Chelokoshka_]

@@FishKeepingAnswers I apologize, I asked the question without watching the video to the end, there is already an answer to my question at the end of the Shrimp Life cycle section)

[@ShrimpinShane]

Let's go Richard!

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

[@jonnny3564]

Great video 👌

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@josiahbrannon]

Great video

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kurtthomson4799]

Excelent video Richard all great info for the new shrimp keeper. Also I would like to share my Baby shrimp powder recipie ( If that is Ok ) that has delivered great results for me. Tetra Tropical flakes or Fluval Bug bites Colour Enhancing flakes ( If you want to get spendy) Dried Black bloodworms, Bee pollen ( From a wholefoods store is fine) and Dried/ Dehydrated Cale ( From fresh) this blend has got my baby's and Female's going way better than before using it. Plus a shout out to @MarksShrimpTanks as well as yourself for the powdered flake tip.

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Hi, thanks for sharing.
