Rachel O'leary I can tell it's a new camera looks good! Thanks for another video!!

[@rickardrocks2160]

I have planaria in one of my shrimp only tanks, the last few days ive been hosing them out when i feed and there getting hard to see now. I know its not the best way but its pretty fun anyway and it works :)

[@sarahlizette6124]

I don't even have fish but I love these videos jaja! 😂 now I can't go to Wal-Mart without looking at the fish there with all this new knowledge talking to them like a crazy fish lady 🤣🤣

[@gretchadkins]

Camera looks great Rachel!

[@deflatedrubberduck]

Thanks for the info either today, I've bought you a coffee.

[@ILIKEUALOT]

Thank you for the info on these cute shrimp.

[@LifebyBrianAquatics]

Living in China it's often hard to ID aquatic animals I find in the shops here. I've had these shrimp in a couple of my tanks for ages without knowing the species, now I finally do. Thanks!

[@catfishcave379]

Always nice to see another freshwater shrimp. And congratulations on 65k subscribers... that didn't take long...

[@RachelOLeary]

i didn't even know i hit it! I got my eye on the prize of 100k, LOL- awhile to get yet though!

[@StalkerNaturaliste]

They can also (surprisingly) live outside even in the winter with frozen surface.

[@clementpigot6561]

Hey Rachel! Thank you for using Celsius ! !☺

[@rp101aquatics6]

Im in the USA but still I think the metric system is what we should us

[@GirlTalksFish]

Thanks for introducing a new species to me! Looking forward to the planaria video too.

[@sock2828]

I've got my Malawa shrimp in a heavily planted tank with a lot of driftwood and they turn an almost slightly iridescent reddish brown color. I think it's really subtly pretty, especially on the stripped ones.

[@RachelOLeary]

they have a certain pizzazz I couldn't capture on camera for sure

[@giveberg14]

Hi Rachel, I like your shrimps I have neocaridina shrimps and I really love them. I am looking forward to your video about planaria, and how to deal with these pests in a shrimp aquarium.

[@katieabraham8180]

Hi Rachel, I want to write to tell you how fantastic your species spotlights are in helping me pick species for my very first tank. It’s still got a while to cycle but every day I find myself scrolling through the playlist (microdevario kubotai is my number one pick ) and they’re so useful, informative and accessible for a first time aquarist. Thanks from England!

[@RachelOLeary]

+Katie Abraham I am so glad to hear that!

[@MakeilasAqua]

The new camera is great! These shrimp look like they'd compliment a simple scape really well since they're not too flashy to be distracting :D

[@ISayonaraI]

You should try Caridina Longidigita. It's a tiny filter shrimp from sulawesi, that can breed in freshwater and is not too hard to maintain in terms of water parameters. I think they would make a nice species spotlight, as they are really not well known.

[@Richard-zm6pt]

Thank you so much, Rachel, for spotlighting these shrimp, which I want to keep.

[@PotooBurd]

Acclimating mine and rewatching this video

[@Mattdadof4]

New camera looks good! Cool little shrimp, my liquid rock tap water wouldn't really allow me to keep them but really neat to see a different type of shrimp.

[@haydarnoel8467]

MPR Shrimps liquid rock haha i here ya water in Texas is stupidly hard

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

The new camera was definitely a good investment, the colours are so much richer. 😊

[@mrods66]

Hi Rachel, the camera and the shrimp look great. :-) Keep up the fantastic work

[@dentednj]

I think I would put these dark shrimp on a light substrate if that is possible. I also saw a wild porous rock that is very light colored and interesting. You would really be able to watch their actions when they don't blend into the substrate and hardscape.

[@Nenezilla]

Love shrimp!!! I miss having them.

[@ScienceGalAquatics]

Trying Shrimp for the first time, ghost and Amano. Now I might need to try these soon. Another great video, thanks

[@Bluebutterflystarot]

I love the shrimp. I have a whole bunch of them

[@goosetoe5923]

Great camera, it really picks up awesome details on the shrimp!

[@LylasBulldogZoo]

really loving the quality of the new camera

[@NicoSlayerr]

I love shrimp and species spotlights! Love the video, and I think they're pretty cool as well.

[@karolbrooklyn]

quality of the video is amazing! 100% improvement

[@emilandersson5806]

Great video as always! Greetings from Sweden.

[@treybeasley9514]

Seems like a really cool shrimp! Do you plan on selling them when the weather warms up?

[@pinknectar]

soo cool!! do they do well w nano fish? do u think u can talk about/get in some gold/brass tetras in a future tuesday spot light? thank u!

[@Ballacha]

hey Rachel can you do a video on Paratya Australiensis (ghost shrimp/glass shimp)? i found a lot of misinformation about them online as they are actually best kept in cold water tanks rather than tropical. a lot of people have issues keeping them as a result. i'd love to see you do a video to inform other hobbyists of this.

[@PincheMigs]

Cute little buggers!

[@SuburbanFarmer96]

I don't what camera you used for this but I'd stick with it if I were you because the quality is gorgeous

[@SuburbanFarmer96]

I don't know*

[@tsarminyabright984]

I'm rather paranoid about all the bad things that can happen to my fish and their tanks. I look forward to learning more from you 😊

[@BlaiseMibeck]

Great video! What color substrates would you recommend for them ? The one shown is pretty dark.

[@RachelOLeary]

In general, I prefer darker/natural substrates

[@shesellsfish]

Awesome. I am thinking of a species only tank for a wild shrimp project. These would be perfect. Going to set up a 10 g this evening and let it start cycling and maturing. I might try some heterandria formosa gold form with them.

[@angeliqueglass9594]

Thanks for another GREAT video!

[@barbatanas7679]

Nice camera! Really brings out the colors. Did you have to do any color correction?

[@RachelOLeary]

+Barbatanas I don't even know HOW to color correct hahahaah

[@barbatanas7679]

Rachel O'leary you fine anyways xD

[@merlynbeaumont]

Hi Rachel, thanks for the video. Funny you mentioned the planaria. I noticed the unfocused spot in the background and wanted to ask if it was indeed planaria. I have them to right now in my community tank. Can't wait for your tips on how to deal with them.

[@Axelorox]

Do these work well in breeding tanks for egg scattering fish, keeping the eggs clean, like Neocaridina do? Or would they eat fish eggs like Amano shrimp?

[@RachelOLeary]

shrimp in general will eat fish eggs

[@reynolds326ify]

Thank you Rachel for all of the amazing videos! I’ve never had shrimp for pets before and this video definitely made me curious about them! I have a guppy, planted, 20 gal tank that has been established for years, would they do ok with guppies? Thanks again ❤️

[@robanc4]

Looking good 📷!! Awesome spotlight, can't believe I've never heard of these guys. More inverts if possible 👍

[@sarahlizette6124]

Rachel!!!! My favorite fish lady jaja! 😁 heeey girl!!!

[@davidtungdim1329]

Hi i have a question can you put wod from the outdoors like logs braches in you tank??

[@carlapappalardo1901]

That can be questionable unless you know which species are safe and are sure that there have been no pesticides used in the vicinity. this has info on different woods that are ok (scroll towards the end for yard wood) injaf.org/articles-guides/general-guides/guide-to-aquarium-wood/

[@Haimishify]

What were the shrimp feeding on?

[@gabrielsonoda8553]

Was that a worm passing by the cam? What was that? Where did it come from?

[@LstWndBrkr]

Would be awesome to see you do a video on cardinals too!

[@livevil9531]

Hello Rachel?😊 thankyou for the imformation

[@rohitmeshram5249]

hi rach, i be adding RCS to my 10G tank. how many should i add? and how many or what plants will be good for them. also i wanna add a betta here too. (betta eats shrimp 😋) also suggest one more group of nano fish that is okay with betta and shrimp. i have a air powerd filter. (no water pump) thanks.

[@aleko11]

species spotlight- my fave

[@--Paws--]

I just got these, they eat things fast but I still limit how many times I do feed them, for safety. They are very small and move around like a lot.

[@jackc1320]

What are the worms that appear at about 2.07 in the video?

[@iian_]

planeria

[@IncogPollywog]

Have you ever kept Caridina dennerli before?

[@RachelOLeary]

+IncogPollywog yes

[@IncogPollywog]

I've been thinking of setting up a Sulawesi "biotope" tank with Marosatherina ladigesi, Oryzias woworae, Nomorhamphus liemi, some species of rabbit snail, and either one of two shrimp species (Caridina cf. spongicola or Caridina dennerli). However looking into shrimp I'm worried they or at least their young would be too heavily preyed upon by the fish even with a lot of rock work and plants for them to hide in. Might just end up looking into some Parathelphusa pantherina.

[@bubbletea_kitty]

Hi Rachel, would you mind making a video on Ph and hardness?

[@RachelOLeary]

+Montserrath Mendoza I have one on hardness and tds- it's an oldie!

[@bubbletea_kitty]

Thank you~

[@martinwelters370]

Nice info as always. I have some wild shrimp myself, they come from a stream here in the south of China (near Hong Kong), also not bright colored but very interesting.

[@FishForThought]

They look real interesting. C'mon local LFS, get on this level!

[@SkiesTurnedGrey]

-Rachel, what are the worm things in the tank!? They're creeping me out!! You can see one on top of the food pellet at --0:58--, and again in the background just to the left of the food pellet at --1:58--. Bleh!- Edit: Nevermind. I see your comment about Planaria. I'm assuming that's what the worms are. I look forward to the video on these little buggers!

[@boscoitalics]

i love shrimp. i have a 10 gallon, would that be enough space??

[@evanscott7652]

boscoitalics for shrimp, definitely. Shrimp are one of the only aquarium critters that can live in and breed in 1 gallon tanks. (Unless it is a very large species like African filter shrimp)

[@princeray141]

Hey Rachel which species of shrimp will be best to start with

[@upyermaw2732]

Prince ray neo cardina red cherry shrimp easy to keep bread :)

[@kavvyshka]

what do they eat

[@ffdreams]

Do you still plan on doing a betta sorority?

[@RachelOLeary]

+photaiplz not sure

[@teddybonkers3580]

You remind me of the singer P!nk

[@upyermaw2732]

Hey have you tried salawasy shrimp can't spell that or remember the full name off the top of my head if you have what did you think of them?

[@GregorMima]

Is this part of the Babaulti family? Just wondering .... Cheers.

[@paanfarkhan4677]

new camera looks good

[@johnbearsfishroom8444]

Those are cool!

[@muwuny]

Easier to breed than RCS?

[@RachelOLeary]

+Bomber Harris yep

[@24DPSing]

Is the Malawa shrimp algae eaters?

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

I would love to get some. I only breed shrimp so I have to get some

[@alejandromarquez9299]

Nice

[@puffnutvahren9150]

Hey Rachel. Another great vid! Have you had a chance to check out 'THE DAVE' on you tube? His camera work is stunning, really does the critters justice. Not a huge catalog but what is there is quality. Kribensis , snails, Kuhlis and more, recommend you take a look on one of those snowy days. Take care, and thanks :)

[@JohanFroloff81]

Great video. but please normalize the audio.
