NEW SHRIMP & NEW TANK SETUP for Beginners

[@ameliej6690]

when i first got into fish keeping I wasn’t that interested in shrimp, but here I am preparing to set up a shrimp tank lol

[@deannabondhus9214]

I was never interested in fish keeping until I started watching aquascape tutorials 😂 Here I am as well getting ready to set up a shrimp tank.

It takes less room than fish.

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Definitely....just keep your room clean.

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "home shrimp farm" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Eenva Harrowing Eradicator - (do a search on google ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to start a shrimp farming business minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got cool results with it.

Just wonderful, been searching for "can you grow shrimp?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Eenva Harrowing Eradicator - (do a google search ) ? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to start a shrimp farming business minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.

[@patpatterson6073]

Looks like you got it figured out to me! I wish I could have dip acclimated mine at that rate. My drip rate was way to fast even with a knot tied in my line. Luckily it worked out and all but one survived. I’m still in the learning phase so we will see how it goes. Thanks for sharing

[@danfigac8918]

Wow, the last couple minutes of just the shrimp was sooo good lol mesmerizing

[@Busterpeek21]

Well done. I would recommend using your free hand to cover the net when migrating them over to the tank. They get jumpy and well, you know the rest.😊

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Good point! I do it for fish, but didnt think to do it for the shrimp

I've seen you so much in so many Pinterest comments and now here, I feel like I know you 😂

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

You guys did great!!, the only thing I would change is the cycle time more is way better for shrimp, I cycle my tanks for two months

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Next time I'll take my time, rushing is never good in the aquarium hobby and I feel like set things up too fast.

[@favorieten4]

With cycle time you mean letting the plants and water create an eco system before you put animals in?

[@MA-zg2pz]

Captain BodyPillow Cycling refers to establishing bacterial colonies that regulate your nitrogen cycle, the conversion of ammonia to nitrite to nitrate. There is no way to instantly establish the necessary stable nitrogen cycle in a new aquarium.

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting blue shrimp and after this (and a lot of other informational videos) I’m sold. Wish me luck!

[@growinginportland]

Too funny, The pet store I go too, had an extra shrimp tank in the back from a dealer. They gave it to me to setup so it wouldn't go waste. I set it up last night. Same steps you did. I'm cycling the tank now. You might want to put a lid on that tank, as shrimp are notorious for getting out of tanks. Have fun.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Ive been thinking about trying to make a nice lid

[@brettkreider18]

Just thought I’d let you know my shrimp LOVE blood worms 🐛 they hurry up and grab them before the bettas do it’s so funny cuz they swim up grab and swim away quickly with their worms lol.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Ive tried giving them a few...they really do love them

[@brettkreider18]

Yayyy !!!

[@BonesDelicious06]

You have shrimps with Bettas? They don’t eat them?

[@bigsam8597]

@@BonesDelicious06 It depends on if the individual betta is tolerant of tank mates or not. I had a shrimp in my bettas tank to do a bit of cleaning, about two weeks later I found the shrimps dismembered body on the floor of the tank in the front. But other bettas can tolerate tank mates, it all depends on the individual.

[@pamelak819]

Great video of the shrimp at the end. Amazing how much detail you were able to capture!

Started my first ever filter less shrimp tub using the walstad method. Only soil and live plants and a heater

[@amiescribes595]

How is that going so far? I want to start one using the Walstad Method. Any tips from your experience?

[@tonyshaw7420]

Subbed! I'll try to find/use the products you mentioned :) I just got some Crystal Red Shrimp 6 of them. (brave for a beginner, I know) I fully tested the water they came in and tested their water many times while acclimating them for about 2 hours. I floated their bag in my tank and added very little water from my tank into theirs. When their bag very closely matched my aquarium water parameters, I poured them into a fish net and transfered into my tank. They were very tiny and very alive and hungry. So far so good. I basically fully test my water every day.

[@lovemylifeflorida2641]

You amaze me how you are putting water in and not even a towel put down in front. I always get water somewhere outside my tank.😎

Beautiful tank scape and shrimp. The sped up part of your video made me laugh out loud. 👍💕👍

Really beautiful tank. Love the tank will definitely consider that size for future projects.

[@seaturtledog]

Very nice video. I have noticed that when receiving supplies or fish the videos rarely discuss pricing. It would be helpful to have a bit of information on the costs. From my experience I think that I would like to order the item shown and discover that we are in the over $200. price range.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

If you have some shrimpy tips, let me know down below! As beginner shrimp keepers, me and Daniel love to read your advice! 👍💙 Have you seen the video about my very first pumpkin orange shrimp?

[@aquaaurora2747]

My main advise is keep water changes small and slow refill. Most shrimp owners do 10% or LESS for a water change. I've also learned to add new water slowly-I do this by putting the refill bucket on a bin that is taller than the tank and use a simple airline tube to feed water back in (treat water before starting to add back in). You have to keep an eye on it, or make sure you don't over fill the refill bucket and cause a mess. Doing smaller water chagnes and adding new water in slower is suppose to prevent the shrimp from getting too dramatic a water parameters change which can cause a molt. Molting too soon after a previous molt can kill them. Be sure to do update videos on these shrimp! I want to get a hold of blue dream/velvet neos, but am iffy buying from sellers that import (last attempt went poorly).

[@benblassingourami984]

One of my favorite things to feed my shrimp is blanched, organic kale or spinach! The entire colony will graze on a leaf for days until it’s completely eaten-they waste nothing!

[@xisotopex]

after acclimation, the shrimp go into a breeder basket in the aquarium with plenty of moss to hide in and graze on, for about 24 hours. any shrimp that dont make it are easily removed before they can foul the water.

[@stina9659]

This is so cute 💙 good job

[@diat1725]

You doing it well ,Now you need to study about shrimps life because there are many kinds of them with many different lifestyle,most of them aggressive and always hidden from the enemies.

[@Ishiisan]

Great looking shrimp! I have never done drip thing. I usually throw in something for them to grab onto while acclimating to reduce stress.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I should have maybe given them a little piece of driftwood or something

[@HappyMomma412]

I like the black spot in the middle of your dog’s head.

[@kryptonitekittee7665]

Your drip method looks great! Thanks for the idea.

[@yazminamacias4000]

You have beautiful shrimp. Thank you for the video!

[@bakotako]

I think your drip rate is very good. A couple things, I am not sure if that substrate is inert or active as an active substrate will remove kH and lower the pH; this is ideal for caridinia shrimp but not ideal for neocaridina. Shrimp are very sensitive to water parameters; the tank is setup nice but ideally to be serious about shrimp most do RODI or buy water and then reminerialize the water. The neos will do good in your tap but for ideal breeding action and health RODI/distilled water and remineralize.

[@toulee3551]

This stuff buffs to about 6 with ro. Bad for neos

[@vampgaia]

Nice shrimp. I have a lot of Rob's amanos. I've also got some of LRB's culls and his Blue B line. Most of my shrimp are mixed, except LRB's blue ones. Those are in a separate tank. Enjoy your new shrimp!

[@nicstevens9737]

So never had a shrimp before and I got a ghost shrimp and two maile guppies. Do I need to feed the shrimp more than just the fish food or would that be adding too much into the tank?

[@nicstevens9737]

Also I have a few hiding places for the shrimp but how many do they really need?

[@naegwut]

Excellent footage

[@AndyGranny]

How did you use the vacuum to put the water in the tank?

[@rp101aquatics6]

Its a python it connects to your sink so if you close the python thingy and turn the sink on the water will go up the pipe.

[@dondutch4107]

RO water then adding minerals (salts) for neocardina will give better results.. its a must for any of the caridina shrimp (with caridina salts).. neo salt has GH and KH while caridina salts might only have GH. PH should be maintained with active soil, like she has. using biofilm jump starter bacteria is a good idea and will become a must once your colony grows more then 50 or so in a tank that size... feeding that many shrimp in that size tank is almost pointless, maybe once a week.. however once numbers rise it could need daily feeding, gotta feel it out.. my experience with Neos is they are very hearty and can survive in conditions they are not accustom to, maybe just not thrive..

I have an important tips, especially for beginners, do not forget to wash your hands before touch your shrimp tank water, especially after you take a bath, it can be very dangerous to that shrimps

[@MA-zg2pz]

Well trace amounts of hand soap from washing your hands before will also introduce things to the shrimp water. Better to wear gloves.

[@Cleeon]

[@meatclownww6361]

would a 1.5 gallon tank be okay for three ghost shrimps?

[@annacrunkleton4711]

Yes.. 3 would be fine for your tank. General rule is for every one gallon you can have 2-5 shrimp. So you could prob fit up to 6-7 in the tank since it’s 1.5 gallon.
