Red Cherry Shrimp Breeding - Thousands of Babies

[@aljanecko]

No substrate or plants, you seem to be proving a lot of people wrong, absolutely awesome.

[@marcochavanne]

Wish I came to yall first when I was getting into shrimp keeping. All my questions would have been answered, I would have saved money, and wouldnt have lost some of my first batch of RCS

[@HomeAquatics]

This is what we like to see, babies everywhere!!!

[@daviddong7595]

should i keep the light on all the time or is it better if i turn the lights of at night? aquarium thanks you

[@McMerwe]

I am just amazed. No other words! Ill get where you are one day!

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Wow, they look great!!!

[@charlotterose5396]

We have a small tank, all of a sudden I see babies. I have Red, Blues & Yellow. Will they breed with each other? Im not even sure who was pregnant!

[@nmaquatics924]

Another amazing update....I can't wait to place my shrimp order with you...

[@ysman3]

Those high grade blue bolts are beautiful!

[@cjoyk8435]

Just curious, but if you were to put the blue and the red ones together, would you end up with a purple color or a mix of the two? Or would all of the babies just stay a solid copy of mom or dad?

[@norwegian_noisemaker6737]

They will interbreed, and after a few generations the babies will be wild coloured like brown, transparent not nice colours.

[@joeburrus4934]

New to shrimp maybe 8 months with cherry shrimp I leave them in a 10 gallon planted light alone don't mess with them and never really see them breed have males and females how can I help them get going

[@Joel_G_NZ]

Man I wish I could have shrimp. Their little legs blazing away makes me laugh every time !

[@josemontalvo4532]

Interesting shrimp breeding. I subscribed and put notifications on. Thank you for sharing!

[@masonsmith4456]

How long does it take for the eggs to appear after mating

[@mahijesril3130]

Dude are u seperated the babies from the colony ❤

[@arunhvk]

It looks like shrimp heaven.

[@RiverCottageDesigns]

Love the new room! The shrimp really look amazing.

[@matthewyeet22]

How important are lids with shrimp tanks?

[@6___________99_____________64]

How often are water changes required in those tanks ?

[@charenethornton6430]

Love your shrimp. Amazing.!

[@LupDiesel]

Thank you so much Charene :)

[@carlosprol1040]

What are you using for the tank covers?

[@adatewithnature8333]

can we get a link to the racks u use?

[@damjancvetkovski8108]

How are you doing it without soil, plants, rocks and other stuff?

[@neonbloxian4752]

Do you keep plants in your breeding tanks or just no?

[@lucasgrundl2972]

really looking forward to getting my order of crs after quarantine. great to see your hard work paying off

[@jghost117]

what kind of cube tanks were behind rob in the intro?

[@TheFishNerd]

All those babies!!!

[@Fishguys]

I want to start breeding shrimp? Any recommendation on minimum tank size? Will a 3.5-5.0 gallon work?

[@cdc6245]

Check out marks shrimp tanks he has a ton of info on setting up new tanks

[@jasonblair1114]

Sorry for the question, but in some shrimp tanks why do you have multiple tupperware containers filled with soil stacked up on top of each other?

[@dvgvarma6124]

May be to maintain the pH levels

[@mattcali8725]

Hey Rob, can you show us how you clean your tanks? Do you remove food, waste everyday or is that not necessary?

[@ollietaylor1991]

If you don't mind how they look - snails are a great option for this cleaning activity

[@user-tb4sl4ex2q]

Do you ship to CA? I am going going to set up a 20 gal shrimp breeding tank!

[@saifulamir10]

Nice bro 😁 👍

[@pinkpoodle3484]

How do you get these guys not to interbreed and end up with black shrimp?

[@nirolord3180]

Rebecca Lopez dont mix em up. Cull any wrong or bad colourations to decrease recessive/weak or unwanted gene pool polluitiom

[@MrRawr2013]

what temperature do these neocaridina shrimp thrive at? Do I need a heater?

[@cornertankcorner]

What did you make the lids out of?

[@zm4824]

How do you clean out their poo?

[@AdamTillontheWeb]

Any tips from anyone on shrimp outdoors? I would presume there'd be some risk of predatory insects in particular. Great video by the way!

[@bencoad8492]

just put those lids he has on them then np heh its what i do

[@larsk3254]

What kind of current should there be in the tank?

[@mybeesshrimp1687]

Hi Robert, won't you get problems with too less oxygen in the tanks when they are completely covered? Had a few dead ones caused to this issue.

[@nirolord3180]

MyBees Shrimp his tanks are probably aerated with some otherway

[@simonpovey6958]

Are Midge Fly larvae harmful to shrimp ?

[@johnb58]

I have a 29 gal cherry shrimp only tank. Why am I seeing orange/yellowish shrimp. I have not done anything in the tank but feeding and water changes in the past year.

[@nirolord3180]

john b the yellow and orange breed occasionally come from cherry shrimp lines/genetics that arent strong or arent strengthened over time and is normal unless you just bough them. How long have you kept em?

[@johnb58]

My shrimp tank has been going for three years. The yellow one I kinda figured it was genetic thanks for replying.

[@mufalmewww]

Dope vid.. your turning me on to shrimp

[@mackenzieferguson4599]

Hey Rob! Glad to see the shrimp are doing well in the new shrimp room! Not sure if you got my email, but a separate question: I know you said that protein helps female shrimp with producing good clutches/babies. I have Shrimp King Complete, would you suggest I get Shrimp King Protein or Bacter AE as a second food? Many thanks!

[@LupDiesel]

Hey Mackenzie!! Thank you for the comment. I would probably go with protein if you don't already have babies. If you have babies now, I'd go with bacter ae because it will help keep all those babies alive :) Thanks for the question, it was a great one!

[@mackenzieferguson4599]

I've got a couple of babies, but they are probably double the size of the ones in your video. Unfortunately, the female with the bad eggs never dropped them. She tried to molt with the eggs still attached and didn't make it. One of the other females got berried, but died a couple of days later. Not sure what it was from, her eggs looked normal. Any thoughts?

[@TLCNICE]

I will need help. I love shrimp yellow and white, orange and white, ghost. Just wondering do you use a heater n your tanks

[@heatheredwards2982]

Tracey Connelly I keep all my tanks on heaters. The shrimp just explode in their breeding.

[@joejefferies11]

can blue jellies turn into red cherry shrimp BC I keep finding g them in my outdoor blue jellies tank.

[@kpsaquahouse8380]

I bet those outdoor Blue Jellies really pop with color!

[@joejefferies11]

yeah all I keep finding are reds and occasional blues.

[@AdamTillontheWeb]

Is is just shrimp in the tank outdoors?

[@joejefferies11]

Adam Till from Arctic Lights Aquatics there are guppies in the tank also.

[@AdamTillontheWeb]

Joseph Jefferies Makes sense. For predator control, or to breed those too?

[@mtth9328]

This was your new room 2 years ago. This escalated quickly XD

[@versacegang42]

I was thinking of getting some but I don't think I could handle the population explosion and having to sell them. I think I'll just get tetras.

[@josegarza55]

Im trying to breed shrimp in my tank and i just started with ghost shrimp because they are not that expensive could you give me some advice ive seen their little babies but then they just disappear what am i doing wrong

[@heatheredwards2982]

Jose Garza ghost shrimp are super hard sometimes. Do you have a heater, plants, and good filtration? I've had much better luck with cherry shrimp. They breed like crazy. I started with 20 maybe now I have hundreds.

[@josegarza55]

Thank u and i did actually breed them i have a new batch of maybe 70 new ghost shrimp

[@chandanmn1246]

Can't we interbreed cherry and bluevelvet together??

[@misspoppinsss5282]

Yes

[@beverlyflude9175]

Hi wonder if you can advise me, I cant find any information, I am in uk, I bought my granddaughter cherry shrimp, we have 2 red cherry shrimps left started with 5 but loads of none colour shrimps, I first noticed the babies in April its now July none of them are colouring up and even more are being born. is it bad stock or something else, thank you

[@ollietaylor1991]

Hi Beverly, Im a uk shrimp keeper too! The ones which lack colour are usually the males - for some evolutionary reason it's the females which have the best colour! The shrimp also colour up more and more as time goes by. Keep your patience and then hopefully you'll see more colour and breeding. If you can set up a cull tank to take out the shrimp with worse colour then that will help you pure breed a solid colour line :)

[@beverlyflude9175]

Ollie Taylor no I haven't got a cull tank how do you do that?

[@ollietaylor1991]

Hi Beverly, I must highlight that you don't NEED a cull tank, it's just to get the colour of your main tank really high quality. A cull tank is a side tank of a similar size to your main tank with the same water. You then move all the lower quality shrimp to that one to live out their lives. If they breed and any of their babies are higher quality you can move those back to the main tank and so on and so forth.

[@beverlyflude9175]

Ollie Taylor good I'm not into killing 😃

[@ollietaylor1991]

Goodluck. Rob live streams every wednesday - 7:30pm our time usually - so you can ask him questions live there!

[@gamethyst4648]

I bought an adult shrimp about a month ago. It disappeared and I thought one of my fish are him. -__- Just last night, I was cleaning out my fish tank. I found 2 baby shrimp! I think I dumped some out ): without knowing the shrimp had left babies behind

[@misspoppinsss5282]

Poor babies :(

[@asongoyim4230]

I hate to be critical because I can only imagine the cost of running this small business, but the ad monetization... holy cannoli!

my best friend is KZbin red, no ads at all! It's seriously a life saver lol or there are ad blockers too

[@asongoyim4230]

Flip Aquatics - LupDiesel all good 👍 hope to infect Washington with your shrimp soon. Goodspeed shrimp vets.

[@LupDiesel]

Woohoo :) The sooner we get them breeding in the USA, the better the hobby will do. You have my full support. Let me know when you're ready!

Where do you guys get your shrimp?

[@nathanielspeller4589]

How much do you sell the blue ones for?

[@FattyChanGaming]

get a submersible camera for them deep tubs :P would be pretty cool

[@angelmc747]

got motion sickness?

[@kalebosborn1991]

hey flip i am getting a community tank going now and was wanting to get some shrimp. i notice on your website the max temp on the cherry shrimp is 74. is this for ideal breeding or just what they can stand? i know its not far off but was hoping to run my tank between 76 and 78 due to that being a fair crossover point for most of my fish. any thoughts on that?

[@heatheredwards2982]

My shrimp run great at that temp.

[@johnnysfishtanks8529]

What kind of aquariums was that behind you in the intro they look really cool

[@teckleongwong3912]

no need space for baby to hide from predator?

[@VyvienneEaux]

Idea: you could look at the cherry shrimp against a deep red background and select only the ones that don't stand out for breeding.

[@LupDiesel]

I love it! Also, I got your email and so sorry for not responding yet. I've been slammed!!! I can't wait to get that picture. You did AMAZING!!!!!

[@VyvienneEaux]

@@LupDiesel :O I'm amazed you remembered me amidst thousands of viewers! I understand completely; if you just email me your address I'll mail it. Actually, I figured I had committed a faux pas by mentioning the drawing's potential value, and I apologize for that. I want you to have it! I guess I wanted to make sure you knew to handle it carefully. :)

[@SalohSB]

Hi , my cleaner shrimp egg just hatch what do i feed them ?

[@LupDiesel]

+SalohSB we use shrimp king baby and bacter ae :)

[@SalohSB]

Flip Aquatics - LupDiesel thank you very much

[@catfishcave379]

Do you think you'll ever branch out into crabs? (Pom-pom, Thai micro, Panther etc)

[@TheFish711]

Why are the shrimp so expensive. I understand that you say you always sell only healthy shrimp yet I just can't understand why they get upwards of five dollars a shrimp.

[@TheFish711]

I could never imagine paying hundred of dollars on a single shrimp but to each their own. Hopefully as shrimp catch on more people breed them driving prices down due to competition. I personally love shrimp and want to get into them and if I do make the plunge I'll definitely be breeding to maximize the purchase.

[@nirolord3180]

Nerd Herd Productions 5 bucks aimt expensive for some hobbyists tho. Theres shrimps with gradings based on shell quality colour and print quality on the shell costing upwards of 30 bucks a shrimp.

[@TheFish711]

niro lord You see that's the problem for me, a shrimp can only get so colorful that eventually it comes down to if your willing to spend so much money for rather small creatures that will in a short while be worth far less. To me shrimp are like guppies, they're small, colorful, and breed readily, except guppies are far easier to breed and can be bred for far more interesting colors and patterns and are much more active. I'm not hating on anyone that enjoys shrimp keeping, I'm just saying that until prices drop to something more reasonable or until the shrimp are available in more interesting color patterns, I probably won't be dipping my toes any further than ghost or Amano shrimp.

[@TheTravelingSnowman]

So NO substrate, NO moss/plants, NO nothing?!?!?!

[@danii5110]

i have many of that i have 50 they lay many eggs i tried to name them all but i cant hehe

Yeah same here!?

[@ryanvess6162]

@@PenskyMaterial it helps to hide them from predation, in a dedicated shrimp tank anything you can put in that helps is a benefit but not neccessary

[@KZ.Ellis1]

Why do you put substrate in the bins? I like the idea - I'm just learning. Thank you for all you do! MORE AMANDA!

[@ThingsByRoma]

K Z Ellis he does that so it is much easier to change the substrate easily when it loses buffering capacity. I do the same but in tall thin containers and place them behind my matter filter.

[@xriscarter4728]

Because it is hard to train people to grade shrimp your mixing grades of red shrimp... That just makes it harder for your customers to know what they are really getting from you and making it harder for customers to really learn the difference in the grades. Not to mention that mixing types of red shrimp is going to change the DNA. 80%*of fatal falls happen under a fall of three feet... Please use a foot stool not a bucket! I am turning off my aquarium that is cycling and will wait a few months hoping that this issue will be corrected I want to get what I order from a store...even if I get a few shrimp that or of a higher grade they still are not what I wanted...but maybe it is just me being odd.

Apologies, this is why you don't let your drunk boyfriend borrow your youtube red :(

[@TheFishNerd]

Danielle Kat totally different types of videos, totally different styles, totally different content. Different strokes for different folks. Comparing Rob's videos to Joey's is comparing apples to oranges. Also, not everyone has the budget for top videography equipment and editing software or the time to make the most polished videos in KZbin. Joey makes videos for a living and thus has time to edit his videos with all the jump cuts and b-roll footage, etc. Rob does a great job, provides great content full of great information and is authentic, resulting in high relational value. As for confidence in buying from Rob, if you can't be confident in buying from Rob, you can't be confident in buying from anyone. Lastly, if sales and marketing is your profession, you'll know that typing in all caps and using excessive exclamation points while criticizing someone else's work is not an effective way to influence others.
