I like his accent.

the honesty and knowledge from this man is amazing

Great video This guy seems like a top bloke and amazing breeder. His use of English is so cool also ...a lot of his sayings and pronunciation is spot on. There's nothing he dosnt know about shrimp

I am Singaporean and I do buy from him, i learnt the UGF method from him... I don't think in this country can find another one that have all these different Sulawesi shrimps. I have tried my hands at Sulawesi white sock before... after buying $600-$800 of white socks, I gave up. Lol. I then rebooted my tank to have Caridina PRL. What he said is very accurate. When I stopped buying new ones to put in, too many in-breeding and I got a lot of death, of shrimps that I thought wasn't old, they were just 1cm or so and a few mths old, and they die. I'm actually awaiting the older shrimps to pass on, before I try another breed. At the moment, the other day I bought 4 pcs of Indian Zebra, as they won't inter-breed with my PRL.

I don’t normally comment but this was an awesome video. Can’t wait to see the next one!

Hey, What’s your views on bare bottom shrimp tank? Shrimp affair doesn’t have any substrate In most of his tanks, just in the Ugf. I wonder if makes a difference with breeding, I guess you can see everything and cleaning is easier

now i have learnt something about snail, i have 6 3x4x3ft. 5 of them does not have apple snail, 1 of them have. the one pond that have apple snails is always murkey and cloudy and the 5 of them that does not have snails are crystal clear. so i know the reason why now. lol snails. ive been dealing with this one pond for quite a while now, checked on parameters and everythings fine. thanks for the knowledge! love motto " if everything is right, breeding will come naturally."

blue and red is black , how to get the white color ?

I am so disappointed on shrimps and KZreadrs.. 😂 When looking at the shrimp videos it seams SO easy.. just plop a hand full of them into a aquarium or even a container.. it don't cost almost anything.. Then you can get a colony with a lot of shrimplets.. Yeh, that is not going at all.. Have two different species in a new bought stable and matured 30l scape. Ideal water parameters from RO and add salts. Leave it alone not even adding any fertilizers at all so they got their stability and to not getting any impact on TDS. Measuring TDS, pH, gh, kH and temperature all is great for the neocaradina. Using deep sand bed ... Installed a temperature controller as double safety feature and a nice air driven sponge filter. No shrimplets even the elephant snail got a baby snail.. No nothing just boring and noting is happening... over 5 months later nada, nothing just waste of time. 😢😅 Even no fishes in the aquarium when they might eat shrimplets.. so the "colony" would grow and floorish.. No nothing happens.. but it is so "easy".. 😢😅😂 Not willing to look at any shrimp videos any longer the nature is a scam😂❤

@Fishky36 Wow.. maybe it can be the: "Halocaridina rubra, the Hawaiian red shrimp or volcano shrimp is a small red shrimp" I thought I had or more precise I bought them as red sherry shrimps. I thought it were bad quality red sherry shrimps. But.. you're maybe right.. I bought 7 and I have seen yellow sadels and so on some of them.. but seams that nothing comes out of that.. I have Caradina dennerli (only 4 left after I tried initially in a bad environment for them) Got the "red" ones or whatever they now are for species.. for that they have smelling sense that the others don't have.. ..so the Sulawesi should see that "Oh over there there is a waffer/food".. but that also failed when the elephant snails are faster to find the food and that has never happened.. Food waffer or tablets is no go when the elephant snails will and always find that faster than any shrimp the Caradina dennerli don't care at all! I feed the elephant snails with vegetables. But the 4 is my main goal and I use sporadically Bacter AE. Using RO and Sulawesi 8.5 salt. Yeh, I realize that four is to few and may be the same sex.. (they are not easy to get) Yes that may be a good idea to remove most of the plants so I will be able to get some green dust alge. (If it is what you suggested?)🤔👍

You're just like me. Because I wanted to save money, I skip some steps. Trust me, I know you didn't buy any test kits because u wanted to save money, right? Don't lie, I know you do. Because if u did buy test kits and test your water, it's almost impossible to fail. Dont lie, I know u want to save money and skip some steps. Unless you are experienced like me, you may skip some steps, but It sound like you have zero experience and doesn't even know the science of water parameters.

@AmazonasBiotop

8 ай бұрын

@@CoolNumber1 Haha 😆 skip steps and inexperience.. Well it sounds like you are not that experienced.. 😉 If you read my posts again you can read that I use RO and mix it with Sulawesi 8.5 AND I don't ad anything else. That means that I got the PERFECT water conditions that is so close to what we have in the Sulawesi lake. And I DELIBERATE sit and looking at my plants when they struggle with deficiency symptoms when I DON'T add any fertilizers. 😆 Experience.. yes I have ZERO experience of breading 🦐 but my first aquarium were 35 years ago. And currently I have 3 tanks up and running. I have been mostly interested in plants so I have high tech (with all what that means) tank overgrown so I don't care if the 30l shrimp tank plants don't thrive I just transfer in some more. 🤣 I am that experienced that I have just as a sanity check a Tetra stripe test that measures all water parameters ruffly. Then over that I have some drop tests on some parameters that I want to monitor little closer and accurately. Remember I got a RO water producing system of my own and I build and mix my own water like in the shrimp tank but that is easy. But for my African cichlids and plants they have different requirements and need different kH for example. I have also a stupid TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) pen meter and the "Sulawesi" tank has right now 164 (that is one reason why I KNOW that I shouldn't ad plant fertilizers like K2CO3, KH2PO4 or macro nutrients. When that is solids that I mix myself from powder and that WILL affect TDS and shrimps then will not have optimal environment any longer when they're number 1 priority in that tank! And there is more or less no plants in Sulawesi lake anyway so I am soon binning them. To get some alge instead. So you see no lack of experience or testing capacity. The shrimps or elephant snails is not dying. Even the elephant snail got a baby. The issue is that I don't get any shrimplets. As I got a tip in this thread (Thank you) that my 7 red sherry shrimps might not be sherry shrimps. It can be a spices that look the same "opae ula" that the store sold me as sherry shrimps. When this is my first adventure into shrimps (cichlids ear them in my other tanks) it could be.. The opae ula is not that high fertility and don't get berried that often at all when they have a amazing lifespan of 20 years (!).. So it can be that is one probable explanation..🤔🤣 But the short explanation "I am not like you". I am more "going into depth and want to control everything by knowing things". That is why I am disappointed in the shrimp keeping, but now I learned something new that there is other look alike species.. Measuring is to know. 😉👍✨

@Fishky36 I add according to the instructions the salts and I use the best one according to breaders from different big KZreadrs. 🤔 I use a 5l plastic container and let the Sulawesi 8.5 dissolve for weeks (not in a hurry) in CO2 that I vent out prior that I dripp introduce it back to the tank, 5l in 12 to 24 hours... (no hurry here better slow and safe than fast).🐌 I have a small digital scale that that I can with two decimals of a gram resolution (so a hundred part of a gram).🥳 (If someone have not worked with Sulawesi 8.5 salt then you need to know it will not dissolve completely if you don't use extra ordernary steps.)😱☺️ And as I said the TDS would probably not be in a predicted range if I were using to much so that give me control over that the above process is OK as a example.🤔👍✨ (I got home now and looked the dosage is 0.75g for 5l RO water.)

​@@AmazonasBiotophello, I'm trying to give little help based on my shrimps keeping experiences. So, you buy neocaridina, but failed, all of them die without any babies. I suggest, be careful when matured your aquarium, wait till it have algae on the glass or something inside. Don't put the shrimp, maybe around 2 week to 2 month. When you see some green🟢, and that's water is ok 👌 Be careful with bacter ae or something like that, never use too much, Lactobacillus is aggressive bacteria. Do you use some aquasoil for your neocaridina?
