Not to rain on your parade because I'm glad you got some cool variety, but to much cross color breeding can lead the all to be brown, which I think is cool, but if you want to keep the variety the best you can do is try to keep the shrimp purebred, and if they turn to brown I heard you can revert that by haveing them breed with more colorful shrimp. Again sorry to break some bad news, I just want to see you have a variety of colorful and cool looking shrimp.

If you keep multiple colors together over the course of time they will go back to their wild colour i.e brown or bronze.

Never change brother, I’ve always loved the fish hobby but when I joined the Marine Corps I obviously couldn’t keep fish.. haha while I was in the military I would watch your videos for my “fish fix” and also as an escape during my tougher times. Since I have been back home I have dived back into the hobby and I have been using your info to help with project ideas like this! I will ALWAYS follow your journey, I know the sky is the limit for you and thanks for what you do!

I had no idea tiny shrimp come in so many colors. How cool!

Im a shrimp breeder. It will first start throwing random brown and blue branch (different mutations, shades and grades) snd after some time, youll end up with wild ones. Thats why we dont do much crossbreeding. Its like pallet. If u mix all the separated colors back together, u get wild (brownich clear) Amazing vid tho! Thanks for all your smazing work! Keep it up

@@user-gg2qb8un3i theoreyically. Some have already been bred. It might be possible by breefing a strain with red insides (like bloody marry) and a transparent blue shell (like low grade blue dreams or blue saphires, perhaps even blue jellies) most of the offspring would still be randomly coloured and end up as wild varieties, but it might be possible.

For neocaridinas they probably will go brown over time, but caridinas are a different story, you can get heaps of cool lines from mixing them.

I found this hobby/interest the beginning of this year and I am grateful for your videos because they are very informative and entertaining. Keep up the awesome work!

Can’t wait for the update!! The blue/yellow tank is the Swedish tank💙💛

Awesome video nick! A nice little project you have going on there. I'm super excited to see more update videos regarding this project. Thanks for sharing mate ☺️

I've been waiting for this! Do more things that can be bred in bins man thank you

Such a simple setup, awaiting more updates to see how it pans out. I'm currently doing something similar in our greenhouse, mainly started as a backup for plants, but I've added ramshorn snails to see if they could survive, which they do. If I could add shrimp as well, that would be great, but my colonies are still growing.

I started with 7 reds and 1 brown. Over about 4 months, I let them do their thing. I cleared them out a couple weeks ago. I had all of the colors in the rainbow. There were more wild browns than nice colors.. But there were many good looking colored shrimp.

I have done the same color mixes with my shrimp. No fish in the tank. they do mostly turn brown or back but you do get some cool tiger patterns to come out and if you keep going the color starts to slowly reintroduce. I didn't keep the tank up and running for too long though due to a move so I am excited to see your future results!

I cannot express in words how cool this is

One thing I noticed with all my neocaridina davidi shrimp is that at temps greater than 25C produce males about 70% of the time. The cooler temps like 22C produce loads of females but they do take longer to grow.

You are amazing and you've inspired me to go out of my comfort zone thank you!!

So cool, I love this project! I can't wait to see what happens. Thanks dude!

I mixed red cherries and black and I get really cool greens,chocolate, and maroon. I love it.

I’ve had mixed some blues with my reds and there was mostly brown for a while but I’ve gotten some orange ones now and some cool looking like almost ghost looking ones too and now I’m starting to see blues now again lol 😂 fun fun

What an awesome idea! Thanx for sharing!

Nice low cost innovative thinking, great summer project, too!

because its above the waterline you could drill two small holes and use cable ties to fix the plants to the side for more stability

yay Pothos! I started adding Pothos to my tanks and i couldn't be happier with the results. I didn't want a janky look so i made something to do it call the Poth-O-Carry :D I thought it was pretty clever. lol

I feel like this may need to be said for the new people in the hobby. Tap water works well depending on the perimeters. I live in the rockies in the actual mountains. My tap water has way to may minerals and has way way way too high PH for shrimps. That’s probably the only big thing to watch out for in such a simple setup

I love success stories! Well done!

Always like your content! Great video!

Looking forward to update.

I mixed some blues and reds and got some interesting color morphs. I had varying colors of the blues and reds and I had quite a few rili in both colors start to come out. I did get some browns and clears. I even got a few almost jet black. The most interesting color morph I got was kind of a blue rili with red tipped claws. I only got 2-3 of them though. I would have loved to see that come out as an actual strain.

With mixing colors, the first generation babies will mostly (if not all, well for the ones that cross breed) be brown, Because the color genes are separate. But in future generations a small portion of the babies will be a mixed color, then some will be one color, some the other and a good portion will be brown. The colors in these shrimp are all recessive, not sure if it's simple recessive (one gene like albinism in most species) or multi gene recessive (like noses in humans). Your results will be all over the place depending on what heterozygous (hidden) traits the starter shrimp might have too.

This feature is a blessing. You don't even need to be streaming now :p

I've had some breeding for awhile, you only get brown when multiple different colors mix over several generations. I've had some blues and reds mix to create some with a purplish hue to it but you can clearly see the differences in blue and red upon closer looks, even managed to have a few mature females who were a darker green with an orange hue to them.

Saw that you used conditioner in the h20, in the 70's when I was a kid, we used to put it in the sun for a week and always used a bubbler or screen wheel ( ez to make w/ one battery that matches motor voltage/amperage) to agitate and induce 0² for them to breathe ( fresh water anything )... for Texas Gulf shrimp, you HAD better start with sea water... or you had mush shortly thereafter. Appreciate your content young man, thank you for sharing it with old guys like me! KUDO'S sir! Seth

I have a cull tank with all kinds of colours mixed together. They wont all be wildtype. But also do not expect to get half red , half blue. I got some blue ones with red spots. Most of them will be some variety of wild type.

An airline holder works well to hold pothos to the side of a tub or tank. 👍❤👍

Im thinking about growing aquatic plants in a bath now.....difficult to source cold water pond/aquarium plants here in lreland..

I accidentally did similar in the UK over winter, and then the cherry shrimps survived and reproduced.

Friendly suggestion: You can also use air lines, run some metal wires through it and you can adjust the length/shape to hold the plants which you can hang it on the side.

I usually end up with clear ones when I breed... Curiosly these clear ones tend to change color depending upon lighting of the tank... Also if your original color was red then the kids of some of the clear or brown ones become red again... From breeding just blue you can get jet black ones..

Hiya, love the channel. Have we an update on the shrimp tub?

As someone who has had a few mixed tanks before with these guys, I've only gotten brown a few times. Most of the time, I'd get one, or the other, or something crazy. I've gotten some light blue ones with patches of red. I've gotten what looked like a red rilli but with light clear blue stripes instead of the clear or white stripes. It's surprising how often I got the clear striped rillis thinking back on it. I even got an orange rilli born to a group that were orange sakura. Either it's a pattern that commonly develops on it's own or it just means my stock was interbred beforehand quite a bit. No doubt, I'm sure you'll get some crazy combos but it's a shame they won't be in a clear tank. It'll be hard to see something as subtle as maybe a blue velvet rilli or something dark like that. But I'd usually put more colorful ones back in the original skittles mix I had so wild types wouldn't be able to keep coming out. You might want to add in more red and blues later if you still want to keep interest without worrying about too many wild types showing up down the line.

There's a way to stop the color changes on Koi bettas?

Yellow and blue the colours of Ukraine.🙏 Great experiment! With love from the netherlands

For the most part the shrimp take care of the calcium by eating their shells after molting also. Great vid btw

What a cutie!

I have a 100 gallon stock tank with 18gal. Drums for filter (rfs,mech,sump) would the shrimp thrive in a swirl filter? It's basically a garbage can that's supplied with food for them ( I would think) this would be first time with shrimp. Looking to help maintain my aquaculture system and maybe make a few bucks.
