These are beautiful. Another awesome species spotlight 👍 I hope to find some Malaya shrimp one day. Or some Aegla would be cool if I had some money to dump. Found some in Canada, but they are $300 each which is way over my fish budget lol

[@boges11]

I had to laugh at your intro. Because you are right at the bottom of the shot, you look like an excited little kid. It is awesome, and as always, your excitement is infectious. Now I want some.

[@AncientWorldEnthusiast]

Awesome looking shrimp.

[@reecewarden669]

I can't get enough of these guys. I can't wait to see the colony expand and thrive

[@augustvukosovich4683]

Those are amazing! I've never seen those! My favorite weren't my favorite until last night. I have painted fire cherry red shrimp from Lrbretz. I had them in a tiny 5 gallon guppy fry tank that wasn't planted. They hid all the time and I never saw them. Last night I transferred them to a heavily planted tank and wow, their behavior changed over night. They are all over the plants not hiding and grazing and swimming around. I can't believe it. It just shows you that you need to create a suitable environment for your aquatic friends for them to be happy.

[@augustvukosovich4683]

Oh and it's a 20 gallon! Much better for them I think.

[@RachelOLeary]

He has a group of 20 or so available. Jorge is his name and he is in the comments section

[@augustvukosovich4683]

@@RachelOLeary thanks!

[@IncogPollywog]

I love the wild shrimp but it's so hard to find any. I would love to see you work with some of the Sulewsi species like Caridina woltereckae or C. dennerli.

[@trevorflink2235]

I love dennerli I dream of some day doing a biotope with them.

[@twunderaquatics1770]

I actually got some at flip Aquatics. They came in with the fancy tiger culls. I liked them better than the fancy tigers.

[@graphite2786]

Absolutely agree! Some of the Sulawesi inverts, shrimp and snails, look like they came straight off a coral reef! I'd also like to see some opea ula shrimp as they seem very unique.

[@Ballacha]

These are the coolest caridina I’ve ever seen! I wonder how they would fare under typical tropical planted tank temperature (24-26C)? I really want them in my tank!

[@MumenRider78]

Did you purchase the tiger shrimp?

[@loolieloft14]

Your tanks are beautifully clean and healthy. You definitely love your aquatic creatures 💜

[@twunderaquatics1770]

Was waiting on this. And was not disappointed. Great spotlight!😄😄😄😄

[@Goldswan1]

I can see why you are excited to have these. Gorgeous. I am just getting into keeping shrimp.

[@Luhpi]

I've been looking for these for sooooo long. Its been YEARS since I last saw them! Also, since You asked, I'd LOVE for You to get into Sulawesi shrimp as well. They're Gorgeous! Keep up the Great work, and God Bless You Always!

[@yanjijay6752]

Wow they look super cool nice .

[@sarahville1927]

OMG Rachel! These shrimp are so cool! I have not yet tried my hand at keeping shrimp of any kind. Partly because they are so sensitive, and partly because I'm an accidental snail rancher! I have totally gotten hooked on the mystery snails. I'm pretty sure it will be the same with the shrimp because they are pretty darn entertaining as well! Thanks for the video!

[@ShrimpLife]

These are some beauties! How exciting, Breeding them will be fun :D

[@fkisteppedonlegos1364]

Cant wait to get mine! Keep up the great content!

Beautiful shrimp! Is it okay if we use a short clip of this video in our upcoming video? Thanks!

[@RachelOLeary]

Sure, as long as you credit me/my channel

[@lalaf9985]

Such pretty shrimp!!!

[@RuachEden]

Hi Rachel. Thanks for all your videos; they've really helped me a lot! I have found akadama to be a really good substrate for keeping water parameters stable. It's cheaper than most purpose made aquarium substrates too.

[@robertforrest7956]

Of all the shrimp I've seen, these by far are my favorites!!

[@kzookid2051]

Definitely one of the best-looking shrimp.

[@Jarom.M]

As I said in your other video, I'd love to get some of these from you once your population is really going. These are the wild type that I want to get my hands on.

[@Littlewings1211]

They’re beautiful Rachel and it’s easy to see how much you adore them from the way your face lights up when you talk about them, especially after your run of bad luck recently it’s nice to see you smiling again. Do all shrimp prefer those lower temperatures? How do people put them with betta splendens when bettas like the temperature around 80°ish?

[@RachelOLeary]

Neos dont mind it warm and are more versatile

[@Littlewings1211]

Rachel O'Leary thanks! I keep considering getting some to go with my Betta Splenden but I don’t really have the money to just buy my fish a very expensive snack if you catch my drift lol! 😂 The aquarium decorations I am making for the betta tank are “unfortunately” a bit too big so I might have to invest in a bigger tank for Franklin (my betta) and then get some shrimp for his old tank 😂😂 Those tigers sure are beautiful though 🥰

I am eating up all this information. So helpful!

[@creepygallery3303]

They are cool looking, and I love seeing the footage of the bog they come from. I've just started keeping a native Australian Fan Shrimp (Australatya striolata).

[@sarthakpatange2630]

Hi. Can you make a video on how to breed these shrimps. Please I want to have a look.

[@shesellsfish]

I really like the wild varieties that have never been crossed. They are so beautiful just the way they are. I think it's important that at least a few breeders keep and breed these wild species. I feel the same way about Class N Endlers.

[@Fabled407]

Until yesterday my lfs was a terrible place to go if you were looking for aquatic invertebrates. They set up a specific are for them and brought in several species of crayfish as well as amano shrimp, cherry shrimp, blue velvet shrimp and even a few brackish and freshwater crabs. I bought anything I could properly care for and picked up a new substrate that the had right next to the shrimp called Samurai Soil by CaribSea. Do you or anyone else have any experience with it? I can't find much info about it online and bought it on impulse. Love those Tiger shrimp btw they are just gorgeous!

[@karolbrooklyn]

if tigers prefer ph 7, and You use buffering substrate which lower PH, so i was wondering if it is not better to use innert substrate and keep neutral PH , 7-7.2 like for neocaridina

[@RachelOLeary]

I use soil that makes things less hard, not more (I do use buffering substrate in my African tanks)

[@sunnycal2293]

They are gorgeous. Love them. I'm a big fan of any kind of tiger shrimp. Oebt have been my favorite but now.........idk, I love these🥰

[@shubunkin.goldfishtank]

They are pretty shrimp!

[@pasan.m.jayarathna4962]

Hi.Need your help. Can I keep tiger shrimps and cherry shrimps together?Will they interbreed?

[@emmanuelramoncerrer6390]

Definitely get the ninja shrimp (Caridina serratirostris). Would also like to see some content on snails as well.

[@maxl5112]

I love the wild type shrimp as well!

I dont know how, but She looks friendly

These are to die for, I also like zebra babaulti and albino zebras$$$ but the tiger pattern is 🔥

[@igris6128]

It would be extremely awesome if you could get some caridina dennerli

[@ant0328]

What is your experience with this shrimp in terms of hardiness? Are they real sensitive like CRS or are they tougher like neos?

[@MsLinanator]

They are Really pretty!

[@kevinrieder8321]

Rachel, where would you recommend buying them from?

[@Shaden0040]

What about working with ghost shrimp? I know they can get stripes and bands and spots on them when in a brackish tank.

[@aperson336]

Does all of this apply to Amazon tiger shrimp

[@GrowingInterest]

All the time I see shrimp I want to get some again :D

[@1royalpalm]

SOOO CUTE

[@MrMovieman174]

What characteristics of fish should I look for when considering breeding outside. I live in Long Island NY

[@ElfyBean]

I'd love to see you breed some bamboo shrimp; i think the majority (if not all of them) in the pet trade are wild caught, currently

[@Crystalspets]

Those are some cool shrimp rachel 💜💜💜💜💜

[@wiccasdream]

I've always been a bigger fan of the tigers than the Crystal's. When I had shrimp 8 yrs ago there were tigers and super tigers. Do you know if there is a difference between the 2 or if it is more of a breeding/location collection thing?

[@RachelOLeary]

Yea it's mainly where they are collected and slight variation in pattern/markings

[@wiccasdream]

@@RachelOLeary awesome thanks for the info. I really miss all my fish and shrimp. Use to have about 18 types of shrimp and several strains of guppies I have created just not able to keep up on maintenance now due to body and room

Rachel, como siempre , criaturas hermosas. Gracias. No tengo por miedo a que se me mueran.

Those have lovely patterns...I watch your channel for the nano fish and knowledge; to me the shrimp are water bugs. I don't like bugs... LOL So no recommendations on what other sorts of bugs to cultivate :P (others will have ideas though!)
