Shrimp Tank Maintenance (Full Cleaning)

[@Belloftheball]

Update since my other comment! I started using a turkey baster as a gravel vacuum!! It’s great for quick & easy cleaning & when there’s small shrimp in the tank!

[@napaquatics3639]

Yep fluval makes a huge one and for 10 bucks it's much si.pler than losing so much were gravel vaccing

[@alicorydorie5429]

Not sure if you still read the comments on this video but I'm brand new to shrimp and I enjoyed your video and learned alot. Thank you.

[@Belloftheball]

I’m still super scared to do the vacuum while the baby shrimp are in the tank

[@Kaz8692]

like the video, I love it when my shrimps are playing hide and seek, you don't realise how many you have until the tanks full of shrimp swimming about lol. I have red cherry shrimp and a few chocolate ones that one of them had.

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Thanks

[@ericpomales4240]

Nice video! Thanks for the tips, especially flipping the sponge to get the algae on top to die off. ✌

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Thanks

[@vineethraveendran]

Lol you use the same (dollarama) bucket as I do for water changes 😂😂

[@afinteresting8817]

Soo as in Saulte Ste Marie?

[@yes5g311]

My water source is from the creek behind my home all natural water clear clean as crystal so basically I don't need to add anything like salt or others stuff almost 8years so far thing are great, my shrimp died because they always try find a way to get out n stuck on the lid..

[@Apoc-qh4jo]

just throwing it out there. hot water vs cold water for rinsing. Hot water does nothing to kill bacteria (you would have to boil). Hot water pipes are also often made out of copper, and some ppl may have a lot of copper in their hot water. It would be best just to thoroughly rinse with cold water before tank maintenance. Other than that, great video bud. Keep doing what u do

[@clarissamartinez9625]

what exactly does the shrimp salt do? i’m looking in to a shrimp only tank and was wondering if i would need it

[@kevinbrown6769]

Great video definitely learned a lot and proper shrimp tank maintenance

[@trevormaldonado2560]

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR PLANTS FROM FLOATING UP?

[@mohdimtiyaz7749]

I have try before but my shrimp cant molt because of the gh inside tank too high...i have try topp of water with ro into my tank and my shrimp was dies two of it...my ro tds was 7 ...thanks for your reply

[@AQUAGUYUK]

Scares the hell out of me doing the gravel I now use a food dish and a small narrow hose but great video

[@MelonBwead]

TDS at at 3???

[@ichokimsh]

Hello! nice manintenance video! i also started to caring the cherry shrimps. I just bought the black gravel and i putted like 4~5cm... is it ok even the gravel is thick like 4~5cm for shrimps???

[@MrsShocoTaco]

No matter what do, I end up vacuuming up babies

[@cergene]

Hi what is the TDS value of your neocaridina tank?

[@alii0268]

Do you sell any shrimp atm? Looking for some sss grade crs.

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I sell in Canada. I do not have that grade only s to ss

[@cantfinesseafinesser1528]

Do cheery shrimp really need salt, plus my pregnant cherry shrimp has fungus in the eggs. How can you get rid of the fungus without the female dieing

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

The fungus can be serious if its ellobiopsidea. I would quarantine. And most of the time tap water is fine for cherry

[@aka.Xavier]

New subscriber here, first thanks for the video I have a question do you think about raising shrimp that we can eat it, like the giant Tiger shrimp, it's may get some kind of profit(shrimps are very expensive where I live ) in the future and it's fun to raise these giant shrimp also thanks in advance

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Would most likely be more profit selling them as aquarium friends.

[@Joricano]

how do you grow that green algae wall? I can't seem to maintain a green wall

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

It only seems to grow like that on some tanks. I'm not sure why.

[@sayurasem]

We use the same tool to stir salty shrimp!

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Haha

[@Dean_H.]

Great video as always!! 😊

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Thanks

[@mpaquatics5960]

What kind of substrate is in your tank?

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Depleted fluval stratum. About 5 years old. Also some flourite

[@Heroann]

Why did I choose to make a shrimp tank with sand? :(

[@MinnyLouWho]

Very awesome!

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Thanks

[@michalbulawa7768]

I could watch your Tanks updates....daily!!!

[@martinrichardson3223]

Well i wouldnt say daily but still

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

Haha not sure even I could watch my videos daily.

[@SimplyShrimps]

I think there is a mistake in the thumbnail. Instead of ‘cherry’ it should say ‘shrimps’ 😂 great video!

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

You clever you

[@twunderaquatics1770]

It's always good to see how someone else does thier maintenance. I would like to see a video on why we need RO water. I'm very lucky where I live cause I have a well and the TDS is always 30-40 and PH is always 6.8. Just an idea 💡

[@SooShrimpBreeders]

I'm testing my tap also as it's only 73 tds and 7 ph
