There are two types of shrimp: pretty shrimp you want to thrive who jump out of the one little gap in your tank's lid just to spite you, or a boring clear shrimp that's lived at least 3 years longer than it was supposed to purely because it knows you don't want a tank anymore but not enough to kill the shrimp to get rid of the leaky old thing.

“Well. I don’t like my owner. Guess I’ll just die.”

[@rinvfx]

too many or too big water changes can kill them too. but yeah any swings in any parameter can shock them. i don’t test my water at all but they are pretty happy because I don’t mess with tanks and neglect them instead. tbh i only change water to clean the calcium buildup lol

[@surlemisanthrope8270]

[@bigrob029]

i actually learned a lot here. i went low tech on a shrimp colony and it survived for a couple years with no issues even with minimal water changes. unfortunately, they just recently died off.... i may have been playing some kpop but i noticed a lot of worms. i will definitely look into better quality food options for the next tank build. thank you for the tips FFT!

[@dragon6irl]

I got 4 amano shrimp 2 years ago, they are all still with me.

[@petzIndiadotcom]

so, Chris is a shrimp. btw i have a tank full of yellow pumpkin shrimps in a small circular (40-60 gal) concrete tank outside, it has Foxtail Plant in it and is kept in a reasonably shadowy place. i bought 12 of'em but right now there are 100's if not 1000's of them. i have even sold more than 100-200 i think.

Honestly as popular as shrimp are I prefer snails for one simple reason: they’re a lot harder to kill imo 😅 (Btw I love how in addition to giving helpful information you also mixed in some humorous comments in this vid. Informative *and* entertaining!)

[@FishForThought]

always trying for that balance!

[@giftofthewild6665]

I've determined that mts are actually immortal. I've had them survive the tank being fully empty (just damp sand) for months. There has been assassin snails in the tank for 5 years and the assassins are breeding, and yet the mts colony is just as large as its always been. Its not possible to kill them 😂

[@wiznik88]

Meanwhile: my amanos, haven't looked at them in ever, living their own lives, all accounted for the few times I check on them. God bless self sustaining tanks

[@princess_ama13]

Thx my shrimp just died so this helps😊

[@FishForThought]

which reason do you think it was?

[@lazurusfinishes6489]

Ive had a single ghost shrimp i bought 2 years ago...idk how its still alive even after tank changes but that sucker is still alive and thriving

[@BlakeOfTheJones]

I think water changes are a variable.. depending on the type of shrimp and how stable you can keep you water perimeters

[@foxi708]

[@TheWeimarRepublik]

My shrimp died because my turtle ate them. Knowing their toxic personality, they probably said racist crap to piss off my turtle. 💀

[@FishForThought]

in my experience turtles are even more racist, have you seen videos where turtles will headbutt a shoe that is black but leave a white shoe alone

[@TheWeimarRepublik]

@@FishForThought I did name my shrimp Mr. Bigotes, this was definitely racially monivated! I'm starting to see the turtle's true shell. 🤯

[@imburd5296]

I had a shrimp army and I literally just put em in a tank with some plants and they just multiplied “Whats more ironic is that the guy who sold em said they need special care to breed”

[@custard-bun]

I've found that they actually prefer when i supply them with teeth. Mine specifically, i'm running out and they've acquired weapons. I'm out of baby teeth and all my premolars. Not sure how they can tell the difference.

😂😂😂😂 This was hilarious and I love the added truths in here. Drip acclimation being huge. Nobody told me this in the beginning and I almost lost all my blue dreams. Now, I have a tank full of neos & caridinas (miraculously) plus a sweet bamboo couple. 🥰

[@orangescalefishy1258]

Misandrist shrimp. One of God’s most beautiful creations

[@emilygrech7754]

I made sealed biospheres for mine and they're doing great. Even saw a baby today. Never had them before and I heard they are sensitive to water changes so I used the bottle betta water from the pet store. No acclimation and no deaths. It's been about a week now

[@HeavensMemory]

At my pet store they told me, that feeding to much protein can cause them to grow to fast so they have trouble moulting and die. Turns out my 5 man shrimp crew (neocaridina) had to much left overs from my kuhli loaches and grew in record time. Calcium deficiency was also part of the problem.

[@civil380]

My Amano shrimp are soldiers. They've survived 3 tank changes, the first was from an overstocked, small tank with high nitrite. Glad they're in a good home now.

[@Neocardinialord_]

I had planaria explode in the tank when one of my snails died and I was in NJ for work. Then they started eating my other snail alive. They mostly left the shrimp alone though.

[@aryn32]

Nice job sir. Thanks for the laugh and simultaneous education.

[@Theoboblox]

As me who has successfully kept shrimp in a 60 gallon which was in fact a pre cycled aquarium by 3 months now and I had put them in slowly with drip aclamation(idk if spelled right) and they have been breeding since 2 years now

[@brendacheng1381]

Honestly for me it depends on which store you got them and whether they are healthy and can adapt well😂😂

[@jerrymalicay4014]

Havent change the water ever since my plant grows Just add some water if the water level drops Set up outside with sunlight all day Would cover if it rains Still they lay eggs

[@lilskipper4683]

I've got cherries, amanos and a vampire shrimp with my newly added betta fish.. The water parameters must be spot on because my amanos are breeding like wild rabbits which apparently is quite rare for that species of shrimp.. I normally check the water parameters with a tester kit every so often and take a little of their water out if need be to just clean the filter.. So far they've been doing swell and even my male betta hasn't been following the voices in his head that tell him to eat every one around him so I'm hoping I can keep that luck 😂

[@Allyourbase1990]

My shrimp is 34 years old so she must realllly love me . She floats at the top of the tank all day just staring

[@DashDrones]

Never done a water change and the shrimp population is growing exponentially..

[@stabakoder]

I mean... the ghost shrimp at your local petsmart/petco don't take care of them or even feed them. So theirs a high chance it's a 100% mortality rate. I managed to get two of ten ghost shrimp to live up to four months before dying. This was several attempts. They were also barely 60 cents per shrimp.

[@kirachouinard3490]

my local petsmart sells ghosts for $3.99 each, its absolutely ridiculous

[@Denuhm]

I added 2 amano shrimp to my brand new tank 1 year ago. I've changed the water 4 times and they are still both alive, just plodding alongeating java moss.

[@StilhX]

Can't agree with #6. I feel like the closer a tank is to Nature the better, it runs it's self and the animals always learn to adapt with nature. I have a planted tank and it takes care of itself. I literally don't have to do anything. No feeding, NO water changes, only top-offs, No cleaning, No medicating, No worries, No stress. And I have 4 generations of Mollys & 2 generations of Amano Shrimp in that same tank.

[@ellam1841]

I have to do water changes so slowly due to my tap water temperature!! I've gone through a lot of thermometers. Never get a submerged battery thermometer ☠️ miraculously they survived a 2 month power outage through the middle of winter!

[@Kukimuncher]

My first ever batch of shrimp must've loved me cuz they lived full lives and I've lost count on what generation of shrimp I'm on. I've also bought a few shrimp every other generation to keep the gene pool diverse.

[@little_leaf_linden]

im unsure of the normal shrimp lifespan (cause of conflicting information online) but my first shrimp died today after 3 years.. hopefully he had an ok life at least

[@raevensov1849]

Axolotls definitely need substrate! Sand is their natural substrate. NO GRAVEL due to their poor eyesight they could ingest it when eating and that can lead to disaster. Also at minimal a 20gal tank. Too small of a space is detrimental to them so nothing below that. Edit to add: When I say sand, I don't mean coarse sand.

[@wesleywu9618]

I loved how he made a joke inbreed each reason😂

[@BossMkII]

I put shrimp in a 6 gallon that I only fed and topped up the water on. They only died once we had a power outage about 8months later.

Ooooooh! The radio was on a Country station... now it all makes sense! Okay, station has been changed, maybe I'll try shrimp again, now I know the reasons!

[@jeannie2312]

Man.. i just threw them into my dirt planted aquarium and they multiplied like crazy, i had no filter, did no water changes, fed them cucumbers and salad every 14 days probablly and they thrived😂

[@julietenning7981]

Mine are tough. Haven't changed water in over a year. I let algae live in the tank, but I keep it controlled. I rarely test my water. Water heater died, was down for a month before I noticed. No one died. I've got several generations going, there's always at least 4 pregnant ones at one time. My endlers hunt out babies for snacks, so only the smart ones survive

[@KushyCouch]

Drip acclimating is what really made the difference for me. You can get them to live without doing it but they seem to last longer and more survive if you drip acclimate before adding.

[@juliastonewiz_20]

My first 2 batches died within 2 weeks 😭 Now my current batch still alive after 2 months. 💪

[@APirateNamedJohn]

I have never once drip acclimated fresh water shrimp. Theyve all survived. As long as your tank is established with good water parameters they do fine. Drip acclimation is only necessary with marine shrimp imo
