I always harvest grapevine leaves from my garden usually in August and September (not sprayed with pesticides). After boling them for 3 minutes they go to the vacuum sealed bag and in the freezer. Usually 100 -150 leaves will last me for 6 month for 5 of my Neocaridina breeding tansk. Cheers Chris

I notice that my scuds like grape leaves better than oak. I have wild grape vines on my fence line. I've got oak leaves in two of my scuds tanks that have been in there for months, they don't look like they are breaking down much at all. I think I will switch to only grape leaves or catappa. I did put some dried banana leaf in a tank yesterday, I just want to see if they like it.

I had also noticed that the oak leaves weren't breaking down. It was when I stopped paying attention that all of a sudden I would notice the skeleton of the leaves were all that remained. Chris did mention in the video about oak leaves specifically, and that does seem to be what I am experiencing. For my tanks, I think that I will be more patient and have leaves of various amounts of time under water so I don't have to worry about the shrimp running out while waiting for the next leaves to break down enough.

Hi Chris. Fantastic, informative Videos. I have been keeping fish for 55 years and shrimp for 10 years. I have blue jelly and amano shrimp in a tank with borus maculatus and I love them. I use the Indian almond leaves bought from the ornamental shrimp outlets as well as shrimp food. I would love to have more shrimp tanks but I 'm an old woman at 60 years 😊and not getting any younger. I have 2 fantails goldfish in a 125 litre aquarium. Both the shrimp tank and the goldfish tank are heavily planted with real plants. Enough for me to care for with my arthritis. But I soo wish I could have more aquarium with shrimp and fish. I love them! Keep the good work up. 😊

I kept native river shrimps (caridinas) & snails (nerites & bullastras) in my tank and give them native plant leaves & casuarina cones. I air dry the leaves then and soaked both the leaves & cones for couple of days in a container of water. I also have some fast-growing native hygrophila sp. grown submerged in my main tank and it always sheds a couple of leaves in a week, this hygro leaves provide most of my snails and shrimps diet, very self-sustaining (almost) and economical.

Wonderful video Chris. You spoke about leaves in your first livestream and alluded to this video coming out soon. I jumped straight in and collected dried leaves (Platanus occidentalis) from my yard straight away and added them to one tank. They do not have any fungus as of yet but I hope to see shrimps feeding on them soon. An idea for you to consider: You speak to how oak and catappa leaves work for you. I am guessing most of your viewers live in temperate climates. If you know of temperate species or genera that work well with shrimp it would be great to know. Personally I do not want to order leaves from outside my local environment if I can collect my own. I believe that living things benefit from the energies of local food. Plus leaves flying all over the world seems a little off for me, but I understand others might be OK with it for them. I want to focus on the best local options, if that knowledge is available. Just a thought! Thank you so much for your passion Chris. Keep up the great work and be well. Cheers! PS- perhaps I should run an experiment on my own and see which my shrimp prefer- as you did in the video. :)

I hope you read this, I am sure you need to know that evergreen trees waters edge puts more oxygen in the water, the breakdown of leave decomposition takes oxygen out of the water. This affects the oxygenation of all the aquatic life within range of the tree in the riparian zone. Thanks for including so much information, learning never stops.

I have alder cones in my tank, and the driftwood has a lot of biofilm. Should I still add leaves? I have around 12-15 shrimp. Some have recently had babies, but they're too small to see in the tank. One is berried. They never eat the food I add. I think because of the biofilm and algae.

First of all, I just want to say your footage is absolutely gorgeous. You could just put some music on the background and you'd have a wonderful relaxing nature video as is. Second, you asked if there was anything watchers would like to see a video on. I was thinking, relating to the topic of this video, that it would be really nice to have a video dedicated to gathering and using leaves from outdoors in one's tanks. There's a lot of different advice on which plants to use, how to treat the leaves, when to collect them etc. and some of it is conflicting. Because of this, a lot of this stuff is confusing. For example, I see a lot of people say that leaves should be allowed to fall and turn brown before collecting them, but then shops sell dry leaves that are clearly green, like dandelion or raspberry leaves. And some say to freeze the leaves after collecting, while others suggest boiling. Yet some more are very adamant that only leaves from a few plants are suitable for putting into a (shrimp) tank. I've been running a little neocaridina/snail nano for a bit over a half a year now, and am just setting up a 100L one with more of the same. I live in the countryside and have a garden (in which I don't spray), and I would love to know which plants I could collect leaves from to feed my tank critters, and how to treat those leaves, as well as how to store them for winter. Of course if you don't feel this is a suitable topic for a dedicated video, I completely understand. There would be some issues with plant species of course, as a lot of viewers would be from all over the world. In fact, that's partly the issue with some of the advice on collecting leaves for tanks, that the people writing the advice are e.g. from North America, while I'm in continental Europe. Making any sort of a comprehensive list of what's good and what isn't would probably require an entire book, not a KZbin video. I've watched a few of your videos now and your content is excellent, the video quality is great and your pacing/editing is very good. I'm definitely going to browse through your channel for a good while.
