NO AQUARIUM FILTER, NO WATER CHANGES - The Most Red Cherry Shrimp Ever!!!

This past summer tub season was BOOM and BUST. We lost an entire tub of plecos and guppies while at the same time creating the most red cherry shrimp ever with no filter and no water changes. We'll apply the lessons learned to the 2021 summer tub season and plan to make it the best yet!

Sunlight is amazing for shrimp coloration.

[@WildFishTanks]

Agreed, it's the best!

[@wabajack8250]

Should I keep them in shade ? I’m in California and the summers get kinda wild plus we get all the fires in my area will ash hurt them?

[@kendellsolozano5655]

Omg he's back 😂👍

[@WildFishTanks]

guess who's back, back again

[@mountainhobbit1971]

yep the best shrimp success I have ever had is in my two gallon bucket chuck full of java moss and no substrate, I keep it inside, in the sun, during the winter and outside, in the sun, in the summer...not one water change in well over two years...just add water as needed...and I have hundreds of shrimp in there. so fun and easy.

[@WildFishTanks]

Less is more sometimes!

Those cherry shrimp are so red! It's lovely you can keep them outside like that...they'd freeze to death in no time here lol. I'm tempted to get a few cherry shrimp for my aquarium (in the flat though, no freezing haha!) 😊

[@kenjiro2676]

Cherry shrimp can easily be cultured outside, I'm not sure why they aren't more popular for ponds, because they should be! Also mississippi grass shrimp should be more popular too, cold hardy and good algae eaters.

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

"Wanna know what kind of filter is in here? NONE. Wanna know when I do water changers? NEVER!" My man!!!

You really had those shrimp tubs dialed in. It's amazing how bright red your are. Beauties!!!

Those red shrimp look fabulous. Those new tubs should work wonders.

Nice job on the tubs. I have had my tub running all winter,gold fish in the horse/ cattle tub to handle the green water and insects. Have to run a heater on it any way get two years out of them before I move them to the pond and start over with smaller fish.

[@GloryBe007]

Beautiful super red shrimp, and no water change? I didn't think that was possible with shrimp. Also, did you say that shrimp will survive with ice on the top layer of its water? That's amazing!

[@Cgraseck]

Wow! Those White Clouds are amazing! Cheers, Chris

Hey Chris, hope all is well! I’ve been collecting Medaka eggs everyday for past 3 or 4 days :)

Was looking thru your recent or most recent past 30-40 videos or so and wow I have missed ALOT! And a thought occurred to me while I was scrolling thru, bro... Your very, and I mean VERY underrated, and seriously under viewed compared to other channels out there. Please keep up the solid format man, this is what youtube hobby related content SHOULD be about. So sick of alot of these so called "Fish-Tubers" that originally plan to be an informational aquarium related channel to all the sudden they think they are some kind of Hollywood heros, 97% of those videos feature the channel creators with the camera in there face. They go from diy, info, hobby, etc content to "hey guys, here's what is going on with my personal life" for 15-20 minutes an upload. Some of them make that first 200 bucks from getting monitized to all the sudden they think they are Joe Rogan or Some other huge channel lol

[@Sshooter444]

Nice tubs!

Thank you pb!

[@__z32guy__]

So happy to see you back. I actually just bought some bluefin killifish. I was wondering if you think breeding them with plecos would be ok. Very planted tank and only those two species

[@WildFishTanks]

I think that would work. I don’t see the blue fin Killifish bothering the Pleco‘s or vice versa. You would need to be quick to collect the eggs though. They would scatter them in the moss or mop and after time either the parents or the plecos would probably pick them off. I would remove the moss or spawning mop once they lay the eggs in it.

[@ThomasOwl]

[@thedon219]

Man oh man those red cherries are burning my eyes with how beautiful they look!!! Question though, how do you keep mosquitoes down in just cherry tubs? I feel it would just blow up with mosquitoes in the yard without fish to get rid or them?!?!

[@WildFishTanks]

I keep guppy or rice fish in all the tubs with the shrimp

[@techniksnoob5494]

So does the mosquito larvae just breeds with the shrimp tub or are there no mosquitoes there at all??

[@305Gems]

Are you feeding these tanks? And if so what are you feeding your shrimp?

[@shanefernandes9044]

What do you feed them or do you never feed them cause there is more algae as there is sunlight

[@sarahpauline4904]

Last summer I was doing great with my redcap medaka until a leopard frog jumped in and ate all but three. GAHH!

[@WildFishTanks]

Ooof!!! Those are pretty fish!

[@RoyalFishAquatics]

Those Shrimp are looking good. Hit me up bro.

Do you ever sell any of the Miyuki Medaka Rice Fish? I've been looking for some and can never find any!

[@WildFishTanks]

I’m hoping to have some on WildFishTanks.com by the end of the year

[@lukeholloway7836]

I had a 10 gallon that I neglected and the shrimp just multiplied all I did was fill up the water there was like 1000

[@j_toledo419]

Lost guppies when you lost air to the tub as well? Never knew guppies had to have a oxygen running. Glad I saw this, I guess I assumed they were kinda like bettas and gourami's.. nice

[@WildFishTanks]

Once the air was gone and the Pleco started going, the water quality went south really quickly so everything was a total loss

[@davidlong3696]

I live in Sebring,are there any places in this area where I can catch some feral Goldfish?.Please,I would appreciate any tips that You could tell Me.

Sorry, I have never been to Sebring

@@WildFishTanks Is there any place that You of in central florida where wild goldfish can definitely be caught?

[@naegwut]

No filter or heater on the shrimp tub??

[@Cgraseck]

Ryan, with rice fish you are better off moving the parents out after three weeks. Lots of babies will follow, and there won’t be any parents to eat them😀 Cheers, Chris

[@WildFishTanks]

Yeah I think keeping Medaka in ponds is awesome but breeding them that way isn’t the most effective

[@fishiemon64]

Well they keep that colour if you move then inside

[@WildFishTanks]

For the most part, yes. Many factors play into the color including genetics, food, background/substrate color, stress, lighting, etc. I moved a bunch to a 10 gallon in the garage and they held their color just fine

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

how do you cycle those tubs?

[@WildFishTanks]

I had set them up originally like three years ago and let them age

[@sharronmiller451]

How do you keep the tubs from overflowing when it rains? I want to try tubbing!

Congrats on the channel, yes I’m in the Orlando area

[@j_toledo419]

I wanted to begin or atleast attempt to begin breeding shrimp myself with the goal to use any proceeds from selling shrimp online to fund my aquarium hobby comeback but sadly have not quite started yet. Any thoughts on this? Saw a video once of a guy who went to 3-4 different places to buy his initial breeding stock and within a month or two he was off and rolling, guy was flipping shrimp like crazy and sure enough after a little time and plenty of work he was able to do exactly what I ld like to do and make a small shrimp investment pay for my aquarium hobby overall. Also... Almost forgot, he had a couple different kinds of snails he was producing as well, wish I could remember the species but do know he was getting a buck each for the snails and he quickly had thousands to sell...

[@WildFishTanks]

“Breeding for profit” as they say is a bit of a hit and miss. I think it’s more like the stock market having to bet on different fish. It works best to build a name for yourself so that people trust you. It’s a difference between buying a used car from a reputable dealer vs a stranger off the street. The stranger off the street is going to have to sell for less, even the exact same product. If that stranger gains reputation however, they could potentially add value to the product even if it is still very similar or the same. Think of a guitar played by a famous person for instance. You also need very good business skills and marketing skills in addition to fish breeding skills. There’s no playbook but Some people just get going and figure it out

[@paintchipmuncher]

Does it count as a shout out if you can’t remember their name?

[@marciesocal7553]

How many cherry shrimp did you start the tub out with?

[@WildFishTanks]

A lot less than that haha. I’m don’t know for sure but less than 15-20
