My Shrimp Reproduced for 4 Years, This Happened

[@SerpaDesign]

I’m so excited for the shrimp and fish to be in this aquarium finally! I had to stop editing the video several times to just go and watch them swim around. I can’t wait to see how this aquarium continues to develop. Also, how many shrimp did you think were in the old setup? Let me know, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

[@IgorEngelen1974]

Transferred 6 shrimp to my new nanotank some weeks ago. Can confirm using a net isn't the best option 🙂. First tank was heavily planted, the new one has mainly mossball structures, thin branches and a few other small plants. It's super fascinating to see the shrimp actually swimming around.

[@rustyhookfishing]

There probably were 147 shrimp if you count the ones you already put in the tank

[@beverlyjensen443]

You are so much FUN

[@beverlyjensen443]

You are so much FUN❗️

[@wispyspirits2158]

I guessed around 70 !

[@SyphriX]

I recently moved my shrimp tank across the country. One thing I found out: there are always like 10x more shrimp than what are visible at any time. I found an entire breeding colony inside my canister filter despite having sponges on the intake and outflow pipes.

[@ChengJiou]

So real😂

[@Will_Grow_Plants]

... What? lol That is crazy.

[@lolcatz88]

😮 I’ll have to check my canister filter!

[@tilmanr.3299]

Yep, now i have to check my canister too :D

[@jonhosie2636]

I started with 30 red cherry shrimp 4 years ago I have 2 tanks full and currently supply a local aquarium sold close to 1000 in 2 years

[@77chard]

When you dumped the shrimp into the new tank and the music started it was like a sigh of relax and calm. Why I watch this channel, thank you.

[@tarzan-t]

I was actually in shock waiting for the fishes to gobble them all up

[@TheKomentor]

I'm not watching this video until the title gives a hint as to what happened. I am tired of these click bait titles.

[@K9V1]

@@TheKomentor Then don't, lol. I hate clickbait as much as the next guy, but most people don't like spoilers either.

[@automatedrussianbot]

there are tons of videos of people decorating aquariums, but most never follow up on what happens after the initial setup, so i really enjoyed this.

[@kimshields3789]

Same I agre

[@AquaticTips]

yes same

[@IzzySarru]

Imagine you're just chilling and one day your home starts to be destroyed and people start disappearing. Then you find yourself just sitting in a black void with all your friends/family, then you get dumped onto a new planet.

[@gatonegro187]

That sounds a lot like the song Tool - Rosetta Stoned

[@mobilisCruise]

Don't threaten me with a good time 😆 It would be great to get off this planet and away from everyone but my friends and family -- permanent camping trip!

These shrimp have a better love life than me

Probably every wild animal has.

[@mjw1404mw]

Everyone has a better lovelife than me...

[@GershonVS]

Lol

[@jic1]

You should see Sea Monkeys. Those things mate constantly. Sometimes, even threesomes.

[@goontheracoon]

you just gotta broaden your dating pool like these shrimps did, you got a single cousin or aunt perhaps?

[@Broodsnijplank]

Love it! I did the same with my aquarium a year back and found out that my 15 blue dream cardina shrimp had multiplied into 216!

[@wispyspirits2158]

New Serpadesign videos are my favorite part about Saturdays! It’s so cool to see how this setup has evolved and what this new version looks like 💚

[@SyphriX]

Another trick that works well for catching lots of shrimp is a plastic soda bottle with the top cut off, flipped upside down, and inserted back into the bottom part of the bottle. Once they're inside, they have a very difficult time navigating back out.

[@sandyloyst1811]

Tanner, I'm glad you seasoned it. It's so beautiful and striking. Your creativity is such magic. Hit that thumbs up people!

[@BabyCalypso]

what does seasoning mean? casual viewer here

[@cc-nb5fb]

​@@BabyCalypso it refers to letting the set up mature and establish (plants to grow, bacteria colonies to build up, parameters to stabalise etc)

[@BabyCalypso]

thank you! @@cc-nb5fb

[@corq]

I also laugh out loud when I see my snails "surfing". Your tankscapes are gorgeous, both old and new!

[@American-Jello]

I have a 5 gallon tank exclusively with Blue Dream shrimps that have been reproducing for about 4 years. I started with 6, and now my estimation is somewhere around 50, but there are always tiny babies I cannot see to count. I've considered moving them to a larger home, but they seem quite content, and I don't want to ruin a good thing, so there they remain. Every so often, I prune their plants, clean the glass and maintain their filters, but other than that, they are very low maintenance. I love watching them; they are such lovely, graceful little guys.

[@404-usernotfound6]

I love your upgrade videos and seeing the old animals get amazing new homes, it really gives an idea of how far things have come

[@monicamikkelsen6546]

Yes. I second that

[@BobyChanMan]

lol that internal shot from the fish POV of your face peering in was great. It always shocks me how amazing these tanks look after just a few months.

[@barrkorrd27]

Beautiful, I'm glad to know all the shrimp got moved over! They're so cute. I love this tank.

[@carolebraswell982]

This tank is just beautiful! I have never seen so many shrimp in one tank! Wildly inspiring!!

[@stampinturtles]

It’s amazing how close your guess was! The new tank is beautiful. If I only had one tank to look at I’d pick that. The shrimp are really pretty. ❤❤❤ thank you for sharing this journey with us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻God bless you and your family.

[@maggiea5141]

[@andresgil1449]

I came for the shrimp I stayed for the sweet narration. Two thumbs up!

[@Nefylym]

I know nothing of aquariums, but watching how much care and thought you put into it really impressed me. So much responsibility being a caretaker for an entire ecosystem. I tip my hat to you sir!

[@cr0n557]

for a year 143 is a few numbers, but what i like most is your new set up keep inspiring us more i wish you more success

[@jacobatkinson6584]

I would live to see your take on aquapontics. Combining fish and gardening seems so interesting.

[@yossarian00]

It is, but in my experience, a lot of the people I've seen doing it (especially online) have very little scientific knowledge in both botany and fish husbandry.

[@DavidFerguson68]

These videos are perfectly timed for Australian Saturday night chill out

[@karenlee3198]

I second that!

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

Watching you is an absolute joy. Your love, knowledge, and dedication to this field is beyond belief. Thank you Tanner please keep it up

[@rustyhookfishing]

There probably were 147 shrimp if you count the ones you already put in the tank

[@wastedwinter]

I never comment because I’m usually (am right now) watching on my TV but I’ve probably watched for the last 10 years and It’s been amazing to watch your channel grow - but one of the reasons I love watching is that everything is real… and real takes time and hard work, it can be boring and definitely not always *aesthetic* Basically I’m thinking about that tiny tank I packed away during a move…. I’ve never had shrimp… 🤔

[@roarthescream]

LOL floating snail made me crack

[@thejerseyherper5320]

That's so many shrimp!!!! I can't believe you started with only 6 and now you have 143!!! Can't wait to see the increase in the next 4 years!!!

[@kinorinadiy]

My 6 turned into 2🥲

[@CamsAquatics]

Aquariums always look so much better once the fish and shrimp are added. Love the design.

[@vennin7781]

I've been around for many years watching your videos and its crazy how much you've improved in tank design over the last 3 years. Thank you for all the amazing content!

[@TehMafiaTV]

3:10 had me laughing more than you'd think

[@amyellison1800]

It’s grown in so nicely! I rescaped my 70 gallon about six months ago and also did a crypt forest. Dang…..it is flourishing! Crypt forests are my new fav.

[@fanienright2809]

'Tank' you for taking us along Serpa journey 😊. It is so gratifying for me as a follower..

[@clintsheppard9699]

Very cool update! Love the new aquarium. Thanks for posting this and sharing your thoughts. And for the shrimp count!!!

[@rafferon3439]

The idea that our bodies remember events in our past and respond to them as they approach again has always been fascinating to me. It was cool to hear that you made this tank exactly four years from that first one.

[@willclark491]

Another outstanding result Tanner! What a lovely 'scape!

[@trentmurphey7370]

I've been watching your videos for years now. My youngest and I have made so many little environments throughout them that we give a jar away every winter to family. Thanks, man, for growing and sharing your adventure.

[@Sirgruntz]

The fact that you got within 4 on your guess shows that you are, truly, the guru

[@miniscenesgb]

Stunning setup and wow what vivid colour shrimp. Superb

[@iregretcommenting]

I love the current era of serpa design and I'm excited for the new era!

[@injesusname3732]

You should chain all the tanks together, allowing fish to swim from 1 to the next

[@jonsey3645]

I'm so glad that you are succeeding with the full-time KZbin job. You deserve it! Thanks for a relaxing place to get away from this troubled world.

[@Ishan.patel.]

I used to not like watching serpa design but now i catch myself binging his channel and re watching all his vids! (love you tanner)

[@shsd7579]

those danios look so cool never seen them before

[@sjk714gamerz]

can you suggest me channel with ecosystem with ants also in it other than antscanada channel

[@whitneymosley3421]

What a milestone! So neat 😊 Looking forward to many more years!

[@Sandux930]

7:35 That's not just a lucky guess. that's the difference between a simple hobby and a genuine passion. Only an attentive pet owner could have such a close guess

[@willierants5880]

I find shrimp just so fascinating to watch. They are always up to something.

[@DM_Curtis]

This is so cool. I admire the patience of anyone who can so carefully curate these habitats.

[@WarrenPostma]

Shrimpies is what I miss from doing aquariums.

[@unsocialbutterfly5760]

Shrimp tanks are very entertaining, more than my regular fish tanks anyway. I love watching them, they are always so busy and there is always something going on to watch, I can sit there for hours.

One of my friends used your video as an example of a Pittsburgh accent, and i can't stop thinking about it.

[@RumbleFish69]

Seriously, dude, take your excitement down a notch! It's like, I can't focus on your shrimp with all of this excitement screaming through my speakers!

[@janinebean4276]

Wow this build is GORGEOUS! Look at all the contrast 😍

Cheers from France ❤❤❤ I love your videos. Wishing you the best.

[@kezia8027]

So crazy, I think that tank was the first video of yours I watched! I've got to admit it has been wonderful seeing the channel grow and for your continued quality and care. I have loved every single video you've put out - thanks for all your hard work over the years!

[@lorchid23]

Tanner, you really & truly are *superb* at what you do! Your work never fails to blow me away 💯

[@TravelosophyTV]

Its crazy how much shrimp you find when you dismantel the tanks. I put a group of 10 in a tank, two years later i had 160 some

[@e.walker]

Great to see all the inhabitants moved over and enjoying their new space.

[@thrivefnl]

I love the care you took in doing this. And also enjoyed how you explained everything

[@PowerRainbow]

i'm not a fish tank guy but i found this video pretty chill to watch. Also my granddad has one with couple fishes and snails and he always taking care of them.

[@enthusiast1]

I don't have an aquarium, this video was in my feed, but gotta say, very impressive that you made your own aquarium from glass shelves, and your attention to detail, especially the highly respectful attitude for the life within your custody is all impressive, refreshing. The world needs more attitude like yours, keep it up! 💯👍

[@philcarlino6942]

So cool, thank you for the meticulous counting! That original tank was the design that finally got me to subscribe to your channel (I'm afraid of snakes, nothing personal). I'm a happy subscriber now and not as afraid of snakes lol. Can't wait to see how this one develops over the long term. Peace and blessings, Tanner.

[@coryharry7300]

Timely video for me. I have a ton of shrimps I need to remove from a tank and wasn't sure how to do it. Now I know!

[@aquaterrascaping2345]

When u posted that vdo 4years ago i started i following u

[@StopWhining491]

I'm so enviable of people who have the time and patience to care well for aquariums and their beautiful inhabitants. Guess I'll just have to keep watching channels like this one. Thanks.

[@NancyLebovitz]

After your clickbait title, I was afraid something had happened to your shrimp, so this was a relief. In general, it's a pleasure to hear you being meticulous and thoughtful, and it was fun to find out about the hidden plants.

[@KasumiRose77]

I watch to learn new things and maintain what I've learned from years ago. Someday I'm gonna set up a few awesome tanks and palidariums, one massive one is planted and i can't wait to start. But all in time.

Thanks for the awesome surprise today! 🎉

I really like this sort of look back / update content. I’d love to see more of it.

[@362581143265211]

I love shrimp so much. I have a shrimp only tank in my office and i could watch them all day. I loved watching this. What a gorgeous set up

[@AuSZhao]

This video inspired me to start taking care of my shrimp tank again. It is so much fun to watch the shrimp eat!

[@willieverusethis]

The little green rasboras and the danios are two of my favorite fish (after diamond tetras). The tank you set up for them is gorgeous.

[@nimarus3118]

I have Cherry Shrimp in a simple 10 gallon with java moss and a sponge filter. I have a light that turns on for the java moss and the shrimp love to hide in it. They eat so much green algae off the glass and off the Java moss that I rarely ever have to give them any food. Over the past 5 years, I've cleaned the sponge filter twice and still have the original bottle of food granules I got with my original 10 shrimp. I've never bothered to count them, but it's easily well over 100. Aside from needing to prune back the java moss, this setup has been one of the easiest aquariums I've ever managed. I could probably leave my house for a month or two and they would be just fine (so long as the moss and algae have light).

[@hobievi502]

That aquascape inspired me so much. Thanks for high quaity videos that are hard to find on youtube nowqdays

[@johnnydubbsaquascaping]

So good, love the fish and the shrimp. Nice refresh as well.

[@rickyt3961]

Thank you!🫵🏽

[@WaitWhat99]

Long time follower. Love your work 👍 Gotta admit I much prefer this kind of format video, instead of new talking behind the desk. This way feels a lot more organic and less forced. Was great to watch 👍

[@Inverts4Introverts]

As much as i absolutely love the build videos, this was a great addition. Just seeing the updates for the lil fellas you have and seeing them get an upgrade. Love it.

[@RiverRatRory]

Great video! I've recently done exactly the same move from an overgrown planted tank with so many critters I had no idea where to start. Interesting to see that you uncovered the way to transfer over just like I did. Nice!

[@kenyonho4760]

I just want to write here that your videos are amazing and inspired me to do a lot with my tanks. So far I have a 60L tuxedo guppy tank which is spawning like crazy, and a 15L with 12 neocaridina which is also starting to berry...I used your tips to add more scape and plants and it helped a lot.

Your crystal tank inspired me to start to thinking more creatively about fishtanks. I have this cool idea about combining a the iconic fishtank volcano with a sand waterfall to make like a lava flow. But I also have like no money cause I’m in college but I’ll through it out here just cause. I’ll build it eventually but it’s not like you can copyright a fish tank piece 😅

[@juliemcgugan1244]

I bred Halocaridina rubra for three years, going from 8 shrimp to 1,500. When I moved country, I sold them for S$5 each (paid 3) because they had become uncommon by that point and everybody was looking for them again. Made more than 7 grand, just from having a little tank in the corner of my room, with little input (they ate mostly algae, I did not light, heat or change water in that time. Just a toothpick amount of spirulina powder and some top-up water occasionally. )
