I Made 3 Tanks for Caridina Shrimp (And Let Them Breed)

[@BANANA42k]

00:48 the batman of shrimp keeping. Talk about preparing ahead of time

[@d.washington2394]

I’m glad you mentioned when shrimp start to slow/stop breeding . I’m running into that issue with my crystal reds as well .

[@ShrimpMania]

Yea it can happen in the old tank that's mean it's time to reset

[@d.washington2394]

@@ShrimpMania what if I don’t reset and introduce some new shrimp to the colony think that would work ?

[@ShrimpMania]

@@d.washington2394 The reason for reset is because your soil has run out of juice over time and stopped buffering the water pH

[@d.washington2394]

@@ShrimpMania even though my ph is good at 6?

[@ShrimpMania]

@@d.washington2394 I would still do a reset if your shrimp don't breed well, there are not much options to fix it

[@Michael-fl9dv]

I love watching your videos and the progression of the tanks and your

[@ShrimpMania]

Awesome, thank you!

[@RWAquariumPages]

Great video! Its great that you share success and failures also so we can all learn. I was discussing with a shrinp buddy, he mentioned theres always one curse or death tank no matter how similar the set up is with others. Interesting concept. Keep up the great wokr with the video's

[@ShrimpMania]

Hey Ray! Yeah it sucks when that happens. Thank you for watching buddy!

[@shrimplyexplained]

Sorry to see all the issues you had with these setups! I'm sure they were frustrating but I'm glad things worked out in the end! Hope those metallic shrimp breed well :D

I am from Thailand I would like to keep some caradina shrimps ... I love to see a video of how to use a chiller to a shrimp tank to control the temperature. Here in south east Asia the temperatures are sky high and if you want to have 1-2 caradina tanks investing on air conditioning would be very expensive. It would be great to see shrimp mania showing us a video on how to have a temperature controlled tank 😊

[@ShrimpMania]

I know it’s hard for you to keep caridina due to high temperature. Aircon would be the best option for you. I have one in my shrimp room incase of hot weather (very rare event in the uk)

[@refakmakeen5248]

Haha expensive to have the Aircon turned on 24/7 😅 Do you boil the Indian almond leaves before adding to the tank ?

[@ShrimpMania]

@@refakmakeen5248 I normally soak them in the water for a day or two before placing them in the tank, you can use boiling water to kill all bacteria

[@ItsMuush]

do you have a video on your water system?

[@thetruthserum2816]

"I don't sell my shrimps". 🦐💸 If you did, your hobby could pay for itself... Maybe take some select hybrids and try to make a stable line, give them a name, then sell those.

[@realWesMantooth]

18:12 You must have had a huge headache after catching those! No shrimp left behind!

[@BrunoPinto-sf1px]

Tank size recommended for caridina? Thank's and congrats for the video.

[@Youarat225]

Very awesome

[@JaysonGuzman-h2g]

Those are blood worms. A good protein food for ornamental fish

[@JaeIBe]

It looks like that one you reset at 15:00 had mosquito larvae in it. Maybe they were eating the shrimp babies?

[@justinclement5417]

Nice content as always! You should definitely put those metallic / blue / purple shrimp in another tank. They are absolutely gorgeous. I'm still wondering how that female got trapped at the bottom of the ugf box. Maybe somehow it was in with the other soil that you pre-cycling before you put it in the current ugf box when you started that tank and she went to the bottom then.

[@ShrimpMania]

Thanks, I already have a dedicated tank with some metallic shrimp hopefully, I will breed the colony of them. My shrimp somehow got to the ugfs all the time, maybe it happens when I clean an air stone or they can get inside when there is no power for some time.

[@Shark0pathic]

you would love bristlenose plecos for those bad algea tanks

[@raze111]

Im planning to setup one shrimp tank soon and do you think using seachem stability + biodigest for the tank is a good combination? Im new to keeping shrimp so I don't have much experience, awsome video btw 🎉.

[@ShrimpMania]

I never tried these products so can't say anything

What kind of moss is that on the left side? What is tight on the white plastic. Around 19 min in the movie

[@CockyGaming]

Out of curiosity. You said you built your own tanks. Are they glass or plexiglass? And where did you source it? I’m wanting some 10 gallon ish (approx 40 liters ) glass cubes. Not looking to buy now or anything. Just looking for ideas currently if I decide to go crazy haha.

[@ShrimpMania]

you might be interested to see me building the tank with more details - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3_VYWmMd56bq8k

[@АндрейБаглайАквариумистика]

Hi. Cool video.

[@ShrimpMania]

Hey, thanks

[@db7582]

What type of glass do you use to build your tanks? Do you cut to size yourself?

[@ShrimpMania]

4mm clear glass. Same glass using in the windows. I normally ask glazer shop to cut its free anyway

[@flava8053]

Hi, may i ask what soil do you use? since ada amazonia v1 is no longer available ive been trying new soils, currently cycling glasgarten environment 2 months in and soil has only dropped to 6.4 ph :/

[@ShrimpMania]

Hey, the soil for Caridina is a big problem now. We still have ADA Amazonia ver1 for sale here in the UK but I spoke with many breeders and all of them complaining that is not as good as it used to be. I'm going to try to use ver2 in my next setup and see how it works. Yes the other brands not lowering the pH good enough I agree

[@marconikarga]

How do i make that ugf box by myself? Any ideas?

[@Youarat225]

I agree

[@Poeticfloetic]

There are videos on here just look.

[@сергейникитин-л5о]

Привет КАК ВСЁ КРАСИВО МАСТЕРУ КЛАСС 👍👍👍

[@afnaanameer9111]

Hi do you set-up/start your cycling of tanks by just pure ro water or ro + salts or just plain tap water then after cycling add ro with salts ,Please explain us. Also where can i buy your ugfs from i live in Dubai.

[@ShrimpMania]

I'm using Ro water for cycling my tanks then I adding salts before putting my shrimp in them. You can find links for ugfs in description

[@paulbragg7618]

I've been thinking of making a ugf box out of oak to add grazing area for the shrimp. Can you think of any reason this might not work? Thank you

[@Condoctuc]

As long as the water flows through there’s no reason it can’t work. But one of the reasons you use glass is so that you can see under the mesh part to see if your is falling through the cracks (especially in the later stages when your soil starts to turn to mud and more will get stuck in the grate) and you can also constantly monitor and see if your flow is consistent (usually I’ll shine a bright light through it and I’ll turn off the air to let everything settle and then I’ll turn it up really high and I’ll see all the suspended particles suddenly start flowing and I can see if there are any spots where less is moving through, if that makes sense)

[@ShrimpMania]

should work

[@paulbragg7618]

​@@Condoctucthank you, I thought I'd look out for demolished flow👍

[@warsawbetta4974]

how light do you use?

[@CruzeMarsden-gi6jp]

Do you have problems with little bugs that swim fast in the tank? If so what are they? I only just started my shrimp tanks I love them 😊

[@Michael-fl9dv]

Sounds like copepods or scuds. Scuds will compete with your shrimp and may eventually prey on shrimplets. Copepods are a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
