[@abdool1972]

Those shrimp who survived against those sneaky fish are the toughest friggin' shrimp. I hope they settle their new lands and build a new shrimp empire.

[@mrsbodeutsch]

You are truly an inspiration to me both personally (for what an awsome person you are!), and as a new-ish hobbyist. Thanks over and over!

[@shesellsfish]

I always look forward to the end of tub season to see how the shrimp did. They have some amazing colors as always. 👍💓👍

[@RachelOLeary]

I was very pleased except for those damn fish!

[@Slayyyter_bitxh]

@@RachelOLeary hey do you sell the shrimps? I'm looking for some shrimp that won't bust my bank account

[@tom7484]

Your smile at the start warmed my heart, love hearing you speak about what you do. Theres nothing better than listening to someone talk about somthing with passion so inspirational.

[@thomashynes4042]

If I could only be so lucky to end up with some mystery fish LOL

[@knyghtryder3599]

We had mystery fry this season. They pooped up in an all plant tub. They hitched a ride as eggs on a plant from a nearby tub so mystery solved!!!

[@steveng93]

These harvest videos are some of my favorite

[@lilianubia3648]

I always enjoy watching the surprises you find in the tubs! thank you for sharing the experience :)

[@tristambre632]

I've mixed blue and red neocardinia shrimps in a tank couple months ago and I noticed today that some of their offsprings are turning very dark, almost black! It's an interresting resultat that I was not expecting ^^

[@aseriouslollygagger5734]

Shrimp are such interesting creatures. I would love to get some, but I'm not yet confident that I can give them everything they need. I'm still learning and these videos really help. Right now I only have one planted tank that's well established. My goal is to get all three aquariums planted and balanced before trying something new. Seeing your beautiful shrimp really inspired me to get restarted on my failed 20 gallon long. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@wes8899]

maybe a good idea would be to have a 5 gallon bucket filled with water and toss all the plants into them and maybe any lingering shrimp would come off and you could easily get them out of the bucket when you then move the plants to trash or wherever.

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

I can't wait for you to start sending orders!

[@faceymagee1283]

I love your vids and watch them all. Hugs Rachel

[@evamaxwell9749]

Great video as usual! Sorry to see summer tubbin coming to an end. Stay safe and 'keep swimming".;)

[@sage6336]

the boys are looking great

[@mystique_tinajones4423]

amazing how u can see the eggs in the Riley shrimp :)

[@gibbyrockerhunter]

With as awesome as your fish room is, this green house would be my favorite hang out/maintenance place to be. Those rili and cherrys look beautiful! I’m stoked to see what else comes out. As always thanks for your updates. You look happy with your shrimps.

[@RachelOLeary]

I was stoked!

[@michaelkamin1356]

Your content always inspires me. I had a massive yield on daisys rice fish this year and hope to do shrimp outside next year. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@RachelOLeary]

Congrats and great job!

[@jarred4734]

My boyfriend lives in Dillsburg PA, and we often drive through York whenever I visit, after i found out you live in York i was MESMERIZED! Small world!! And dont worry, I wont be a creep and come visit you LMAO!!! Love you lots Rachel, I am so glad to see that you are doing better

[@RachelOLeary]

Thanks! Once the world is more stable, I welcome visitors :)

[@jarred4734]

Rachel O'Leary UGH to see the greenhouse and fish room in person..., WOW!! A dream come true🥺💖

[@aquariumtreasures1054]

Big job getting ready for winter, but it's fun to see them in the fish room. Love watching them.🦐🐟🌿👍😄

[@ChrisHartland]

IT'S MY FAVOURITE VIDEO OF THE YEAAAARRRRRRRR

[@nortondade7813]

Watching this video made me want to do something similar, I live in the UK and it’s cold here so I’m doing what I can and using heated storage tubs. I put in 8 reds and 14 yellows into their own tubs.... I’m hoping they get breeding soon. It’s my winter project

[@justbaquatics2512]

It's magic out there lol

[@twunderaquatics1770]

The cherry shrimp are beautiful! I hate the fish got the blue ones. As always I loved your video. 👍

[@stephsexoticpets]

I love your tubs! Really do wish you the best. 💕💕Love yourself bc you have so many amazing qualities.

[@mattgribble9832]

Love seeing this yearly, to die for honestly

[@waterlover]

looking forward for the next video

[@mattburch9873]

The summer tub conversion process looks crazy. Like what would I even do with all the plants that grow out on my deck!? I don’t even know! 🤣

[@RachelOLeary]

the struggle is real!

[@joelh6514]

You can compost the water hyacinth, it is only invasive in places that don’t freeze during the winter.

[@RachelOLeary]

I did for some, but there is so much

[@vornik24]

Just like me when I am looking for my tiny little baby betta

[@melissab5612]

Wow! The shrimp are stunning ....their colors are so vibrant! ♥️😊

[@marcuswhitmore6622]

Rachel is it just me or does the summer tubbing seem to have just flown by this year ... only seems like a few weeks ago that you set everything up.

[@RachelOLeary]

tell me about it!

[@bettadoesstuff4601]

I love shrimp.

[@szymekfish9727]

Beautiful vegetation and many species 👌

[@Evil_Genius_888]

Damn! Now I want more cherry shrimp. lol 😂

[@jimbodapimp4457]

I love you and ALL your videos! This shrimp collection is INTENSE! Thank you for all that you do. I'll be watching!

[@sleepydesu1474]

Yellow shrimp are my favorite 😩 But I'll be super stoked when we start breeding fuchsia and neon green shrimp!

[@RachelOLeary]

I moved greens out but havent harvested yet

[@mariamhernandez3377]

Hey Rachel 😀 hope all is well !!! Good to see you missed you.... KEEP plugging away my friend ❤️!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF SHRIMP 🍤 colors are phenomenal great work as per usual!!!!!

[@ofthebeanvariety]

I'm excited for the rice fish. Hopefully they will be more popular in the years to come. It's interesting how each year picks a favorite shrimp color. Give me a millimeter and I will personify anything. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@blockednostril9739]

Did my first summer tub this summer in the UK. Just tested with some of my culls in a 30 litre planter and oh my god did they adapt! I had hot days hot nights cold snaps then back to hot and they didn’t care! Put 6 shrimp outside in April and pulled out about 50 by September! Definitely going to try a bigger project next summer and I have you to thank for giving it a go!

[@RachelOLeary]

Awesome!

[@KingsAquariumsAndAntWorld]

Awesome video Rachel

[@julianaquascaped]

Great yield!

[@joshhibbs_nola]

Great video Rachel! I love to watch shrimp. They are like tiny cows of the aquarium world. 👍🏼🦐

[@kelleyforeman]

I love seeing the result of the tubs! Such a fun surprise! Thanks, Rachel!

[@stargirl12387]

These videos are my favorite videos you do! Thank you for always sharing.

[@kendrarineer2645]

Oh my the shrimp are awesome! The video is awesome! When I have time I always try to power watch your videos. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@VinnysAquatics]

Excellent video 👍👍👍👍

[@johnlarsen8308]

Great to see you and your tubs looked highly successful this year

[@2fast61]

Thank you for another great update! Hang in there . And may God bless you

[@gothboy174]

my favorite time of year!! what an awesome yield this year. I'm receiving some cherries for my new shrimp tank tomorrow, can't wait to learn the ropes

[@Qyngali]

Nice yield! I was thinking though to make it easier to catch them, maybe put a sponge on a hose and drain some of the water?

[@sharronmiller451]

Beautiful shrimp!!

[@davidpalmer7719]

Your still awesome to all of us , thanks for sharing this. Can’t wait to see more of your journey.

[@RachelOLeary]

More to come!

Thanks Robert!

Love you, Rachel!

[@darrylmoore5847]

That was awesome.

[@lil-mumma-adventures]

Love your videos! 👍💕

[@gtd360]

I thought they were Blacknose dace, but then I was like I don't think they can walk from a stream into a greenhouse.

[@knyghtryder3599]

wow that is an unusual fish shout out , my favorite fish is chrosomos cumberlandensis , black side dace

[@gtd360]

@@knyghtryder3599 Well I know she's in Pennsylvania and I surveyed a lot of streams in PA. There are a ton of Blacknose dace in a PA, even if you can't find anything else in a stream there's usually Blacknose dace or Sculpins.

[@knyghtryder3599]

Bender Fender Nice to know! I have an interest in natives, but not much luck breeding yet still trying though!

[@RachelOLeary]

The plants I used were from the south

so fun

[@justanghozzst8218]

That fish from the blue shrimp tub had a great summer 😂

[@RachelOLeary]

and a really, really round belly!

[@dilophoraptordouble]

Do you by chance have a video or any good sources to start a greenhouse like this? It's so cool and I'd love to get a decent start in studying it for early next year for spring

[@vampgaia]

Your cherry shrimp look amazing! My tubs didn't do as well this year. I didn't put as much time into them as I did last year. 2020 has really f**ked up my mojo! I do have lots of tad poles though. Take care. Love to you and your girls.

[@colorguppies]

Always amazing fish and shrimp! You also look amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@RachelOLeary]

Thanks so much

[@Zaku186]

Wow i didnt know fish would eat that many. i keep cherries with german blue rams and i see a few babies here and there and i planned for it to be that way but i though small fush would only eat a few of the really really little babies and only sometimes. i guess ill have to start a cherry only tank.

[@knyghtryder3599]

I think it works if you plan to have enough rock piles and hiding spots for the baby shrimp. I think the problem here is that the fish were a surprise and got into a tub that was planned all shrimp. prolly not enough hiding spots etc.

[@michellesnow1416]

I love watching your videos. It makes me want to try this.

[@RachelOLeary]

You should!

[@SongwriterTaco]

Water hyacinth is not invasive in zones 7 and lower, and can be safely composted because they cannot survive winter

[@chevyfish4028]

Were the killifish left over from last year or maybe hatched out in the tub? Could also have been fish eggs on the plants. Always intriguing what can be found in a tub. Your shrimp are beautiful...especially the racer striped yellows. Thank you for sharing. I do think you put out some Daisy's but not 100% sure.

[@afterburnerboyz]

On a more serious note, I emptied my 100 gallon tub on Sunday and found out why a had no fry this year. Dragonfly nymphs, 5 large ones living in the bottom of the tub. How do you deal with these?

[@RachelOLeary]

you can use a chitin inhibitor, but that will also wipe out the live food supply. I find that doing sweeps with a net once a week is effective as the dragonfly larvae often cling to the sides of the bins.

[@cattfishing]

Oh my goodness! This happened to me but with my tadpoles. I had no idea till it was too late and what's crazy is I watched so many dragonflies with great happiness as they tackled down the nasty horse flies, and the wasps that were killing my bees. I knew their larvae grew up in water. But I didn't have a outdoor pond, my neighbors did. So I always thought they came from there. My indoor pond with inside my greenhouse and I never once seen a dragon in there. Strange. And sad. Lost all my future baby toads that I was going to release back into the wild (in my garden with their parents.lol)

[@TheFlutterrbye]

I love watching your videos, I learn so much. I really want to buy some cherry and blue shrimp if they can be kept together. I did look at your sale page, but it hasn't been updated in awhile. 😊🦋🌹🦋😊

[@RachelOLeary]

I will update it soon

[@nizzie0267]

Great editing choice I’ve notice in both this and your outdoor tub cleaning video; showing the beginning processes of cleaning, then jumping to the end result. Although it’s a small editing decision on your end, it’s effective and keeps viewers engaged by not spending too long on a single tub. I’m a newer viewer so maybe this is a common editing style of yours, but never the less I appreciate those edits. Thanks for sharing your hobby and continuing to make content!

[@RachelOLeary]

I appreciate the feedback! I try and keep stuff concise so its not BORING for me or you guys

[@sylviabegg7153]

❤❤❤

[@laurenhanna3233]

oh good point you made at the end. leeches. How do you get rid of leeches? I just had some pop up in a tank and I ended up taking it apart but I'm afraid they're in my other tanks

[@elizabethduffield2624]

Loved watching this, I love shrimp and your videos. Can I ask (sorry new to the channel) if it yields more shrimp by putting them outside in the greenhouse? Thanks !

[@RachelOLeary]

It does, with virtually no work

[@arcstark3]

Love all your vids to do with the tubs and big garden. Those shrimp colours look amazing! How do you think the leeches got in there?

[@RachelOLeary]

no clue- they just seem to appear, like daphnia, mosquito larvae, etc

[@afterburnerboyz]

I had leaches all over my sponge filters this year

[@arcstark3]

Nature is crazy how things just turn up in places. Just googled and they lay eggs so maybe they come in through the water? Maybe if you use well water? I don’t know I live in the UK, we don’t get well water... Just the stuff pumped full of chemicals 😐

[@RachelOLeary]

More likely is from the plants

[@mk_cichlids]

I'm starting to think that maybe the blues just dont have the survival rate of normal cherries. No matter how healthy my blue dream tank is, there always seems to be a decent amount of them, but there just never seems to be a real population boom. Congrats on the reds and yellows, they look awesome!

[@RachelOLeary]

They were my biggest yield last year. The fish totally did them in. I am not pleased

[@TigerStrike8000]

Do i need to say I love your channel? I think not. You’re the best.

[@RachelOLeary]

Thanks!

[@ivanfrances8913]

Gamba-tte! Hehe

[@karenlester2185]

Probably a stupid question, but how do the leaches get in the tubs?

[@justinsanders8430]

Mostly likely they were attached to aquatic plants as eggs or when they were very small.

[@edstaart8548]

Use a shrimp trap , cost nothing and makes the job easier, like a fish trap : a plastic bottle cut in half and put together in reverse,some attractive food inside and put this in your tub a few days before you do the rest.

[@spyrit35]

I really enjoyed this video Rachel... well done... but I’m curious... what do you feed them? Do they survive on decaying plant matter alone?

[@RachelOLeary]

I don't, they eat the algae and scum from the tubs

[@fischliebe2170]

💕🍀💕🍀💕🍀

[@simpleclips7341]

I love you vids 🔥🔥

[@aurora_dawn123]

Dang, I really need to get some cherry shrimp, I wish they weren't so pricy in my area.

[@danleehill]

keep your chin up kiddo, We need you too

[@T_Rou_Fish_Videos]

This is my 1st year with my pond. I'm in south jersey so i have similar temperatures. Planning on bring my 150 rubbermaid in the garage over winter (50ish degrees) Will shimp survive over the winter at that temp?

Love plants in my tank of red tiger endlers

[@marilynl.855]

👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤️🐠🐠

[@livingportside]

What species of killifish do you reckon randomly showed up in your tub. haha that's so wild it has happened to you 2 years in a row.

[@RachelOLeary]

They are Lucania

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

I am looking for koleah loach. Sorry for the spelling, I sneezed so hard my soft palette is swelling. (Google is not helping right now.) I live in massachusetts. I don't see any here, please help

[@Baffi_]

Yikes, are those blue fin killis? Those yellows are🔥 tho.

[@RachelOLeary]

They are

[@Baffi_]

Do they at least have nice blue colour from eating so many blue shrimp?

[@knyghtryder3599]

Is tha night time temps 30 degrees F???

[@semih3043]

Setting a trap with food inside could help you.

[@sharronmiller451]

I sure wish you were shipping. I lost my hillstream loaches I got from you due to Hurricane Laura. Are you still breeding them? 😊😊😊

[@merrydavis3227]

I lost mine also due to having house (inside) painted. I had .covered fish tank, but next morning catastrophic loss, all cherry red shrimp, hillstream loach, gobies, (it's a nano community tank). Makes me sooo sad. Luckily in the bedroom tank not affected, so zebra danios & male betta ok. Depressing - I had originally had several suppliers of very high quality cherry shrimp, think the nicest were from Sharon Emory. Had for several 3-4 years and probably had easily over 1k. Still doing 20% water changes every 4 5 days. Back to checking ph, and all values every 3-4 days😢😭

[@ohrats731]

Merry Davis omg that’s crazy! My heart breaks for you 😢 You don’t think it was the paint fumes, do you? I’ve heard of parrots dying from fumes but never thought it might effect fish. I hope things get better for you and your hobby soon!!!

[@tarsman013]

Who makes those tubs? I am looking for good, strong, waterproof tubs, having issues finding some that are sub $100

[@RachelOLeary]

They are made by laguna, which is under the fluval/hagen parent company

[@ohrats731]

I was looking into cement mixing tubs but everywhere I went they were “in stock” but the employees couldn’t find them anywhere! I’m sure it’s some shipping/receiving/stocking system error but I’d like to imagine someone making a shrimp shed managed to walk out of Lowe’s and Home Depot with a dozen large tubs and no one batted an eye lol 🤷‍♀️

[@ohrats731]

I’m sure you’ve been asked this a thousand times but what are the shrimp in? Cement mixing tubs?

[@ohrats731]

Never mind I found the answer! Laguna, huh.... I’ll have to see if I can’t find them!

[@ohrats731]

AHHHHH I got an add for Tetra on this video!!! They said to change 30% of your water.... every 30 days ☠️
