Two Stunning CARIDINA SHRIMP tank setups - Red Galaxies and Black Pintos

[@afifahzulkefli]

I’ve been waiting for a new video for some time now and it’s finally here! You’ve definitely been busy making new tanks, filling up that new rack and cycling them. Awesome video as always! Looking forward to that tutorial video for ugf 😃

[@ShrimpMania]

Thank you, it's good to know someone likes and waiting for my videos. I'll try to release next video a bit quicker this time

[@Hypersloth369]

FINALLY you posted this update i am about to build your shelving unit for my room and im so pumped thank you!!!!!

[@ShrimpMania]

Thanks, happy to hear that my videos was helpful for you. Good luck with the rack

[@brianwhitcraft2344]

These are beautiful!

[@Diosesdepapel]

Great video , I love your moss looking so full and fluffy. Great looking Shrimp , congratulations...

[@ShrimpMania]

Thanks! Moss growing very good with ugf method because of the active soil. I didn't grow like this when I used traditional method with thick soil at the bottom and without ugf filtration

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

Dude. This edit is so good. I'm gonna share it in my community post tomorrow (when more of my viewers are online haha)

[@ShrimpMania]

Dude! You don't need to, it's fine. Thank you though! It took me many many hours of stitching it all together I'm not sure if I can do it again, you know what I mean

Glad you enjoyed it

[@RWAquariumPages]

such a wonderful video and great channel I'm binge watching all your videos now. I do have those breeding boxes, but how lond do you usually keep shrimp in there and how well do they adjust to life in there for the short term?

[@ShrimpMania]

Hi RW, I'm really happy that you like my videos, I like your videos too and I watched most of them on your channel, I know you haven't post new videos lately and I hope you will be back to your normal schedule soon. I also didn't post any update for more than a month just don't have much free time but hopefully I'll make a new video in a week or two. I use that marina breeding box to separate unwanted shrimp which I then I normally sell them on ebay. Sometime I keep them in there for few months and they seems to be doing ok, I haven't noticed any depths so far, I feed them daily and they always super hungry mainly because they don't have much of the available biofilm to eat because of small space and lacks of surface area but they still doing alright. I even noticed that some female shrimps got berried in that box.

[@RWAquariumPages]

@@ShrimpMania so happy and thx for all your support. Just got busy in summer with my sons activities. I am back to posting and have 2 new videos next 2 Mondays and working on 3rd one now. I have to move one of my shrimp racks, so got new tanks not good enough to make my own like you, and then new custom welded metal rack x 2 and move the shrimp over. So willl document all that also and have lots of new video ideas. Keep up the great work!!!

[@ShrimpMania]

That's a great news! I look forward to see your new videos . Thanks for your support too!

[@20djphil]

Nice

[@Wetorp]

Awesome video! I have mixed neos and caridinas in 5 tanks and I believe the caridinas get more active but my neos dominate at feeding =)

[@ShrimpMania]

Thanks, I guess it depends on the ratio Neos/Cards, bigger colonies will dominate.

[@fabians.5700]

Hey, nice Video👍🏻 could you tell me where you got the ugf filter box from? Thank you in advance

[@ShrimpMania]

Hey Fabian, Some of them I've made myself from glass and silicone and some I've ordered from one of ebay seller in the UK. I'm planning to make a video to show you how to make them in the near future.

[@SteveHinrichs]

WOW, you shrimp look awesome. I just picked up 10 red snowflakes yesterday. I am wondering what could be wrong in my tanks if I have a low baby survival rate? I think I am loosing some babies after they hatch. Also, I have about 10 snow whites. I cannot seem to get them to have any babies. I have had them for about 6 or 8 months. What do you suggest for water parameters? Great video, I am looking forward to the next one.

[@ShrimpMania]

Hi Steve, glad you like my shrimp. Sometime it's hard to find exact issue and if you watched my previous videos I even restarted one of my tank because I had the same issue with baby survival. I couldn't find the problem - the water parameters were spot on but they still dying. The main issues causing it can be ammonia spike, too much nitrates, not enough natural foods in the tank - algae/biofilm, overfeeding/underfeeding, old toxic soil, wrong water parameters. For cari shrimp ideal water parameters kh0, gh6, ph 6 or below

[@SteveHinrichs]

@@ShrimpMania great call, I think restarting the tank would be best. Now you say this, it might be my substrate. I have more a planted substrate vs a more shrimp friendly. Once I start building my shrimp room. I will change out the substrate and cycle the new tanks. The adults are fine, but the babies are the issue. Thanks a million for the tips.

[@stevenyap6454]

I'm prettny new with caridina shrimp, may I ask some question? 1.what is culling/cull tank 2.what is miscling 3.what is the different between galaxy and pinto? I heard the main difference is the backline or the dot on the head, but i found some people mention that shrimp galaxy when there is no backline, or sometimes they claled their shrimp pinto when there is a dot on the head

[@ShrimpMania]

Hey. Welcome to the hobby. Cull tank is where you put all bad looking shrimps to improve quality of the main colony. Mischling is F1 hybrid after crossing taiwan bee shrimp with simple caridina shrimp I suggest to watch video on my channel about mischlings. 3 yes galaxy shrimps have a dots on the head. Some low grade galaxies might not have fishbone pattens or dots

[@stevenyap6454]

@@ShrimpMania Thanks for the answer! Ahh, miss your video about mischling, definetly will watch it soon. about galaxy and pinto, so is it pinto is the low grade version of galaxy? like crystal red shrimp of pure red line or blue bolt of shadow moshura?

[@ShrimpMania]

@@stevenyap6454 well Pinto shrimp came first and then after few years a novelty product arrived on the market an improved pinto with dots so they named it Galaxy and everyone start to love them and keep improving quality to the highest galaxy grade they named it Boa. Pinto spotted head is kind of half way between pinto and galaxy

Hello, where did you find the box for UGF filter? Thx

[@ShrimpMania]

Hi, I found them on Ebay

[@alantooth48]

Could you tell me what the most ideal parameters are for orange-eyed royal blue tigers. I have them in my 5.6 pH, GH 5 kh 0, and two nitrate. Substrate is brightwell shrimp substrate can't remember the exact name

[@ShrimpMania]

I believe they prefer slightly higher ph 6-6.5

[@기열한-j9m]

What kind of soil for bee shrimp is used a lot these days?

[@ShrimpMania]

I use ADA Amazonia

[@기열한-j9m]

@@ShrimpMania Thank you for your reply. I know that there are many types of Amazonia soils, so can I know the product name? I'm going to check if it's available in Korea right now.
