    Do the shrimp eat the fry because I have a 10 gallon fish tank for my guppie fry and it is Dirty and I can not clean the tank. Because I'm scared that I will leave them in the tank when I am cleaning the tank. Please let me now

    Hey Cory, now that this video is two years old, could we get an update on this setup please? Are you still doing mixed tanks for your shrimp breeding? Have a couple tanks I'd like to set up for shrimp breeding and would love to do mixed but unsure.

    I just bought a filter and will be buying more. the whole experience from searching product on your website to buying and delivery was just great. You guys know what makes a customer come back for more unlike the locate fish store near me where I bought some gravel just to see what kind of experience I would get with them and the people there have as much personality as maybe a snail which I hate to say because it feels like an insult to snails. Love your Videos and your website.

    I introduced five red cherry shrimp to my tank, and they're breeding like rabbits, young shrimp literally everywhere. Wasn't intending to breed them, but I can see why you state they're fairly easy to breed! The Platys and Guppies are also breeding like rabbits, which will be a problem later as the tank will be way too crowded when they get bigger. At present though, it's awesome watching such a busy tank!

    Just did a bulk order of 100 red culls with an acceptable colour and I’m excited to introduce them to the small 10 shrimp colony already existing in the tank. The price was pretty prohibitive with my first 10 because they are almost top grade reds but I got an insane deal on these little guys and decided I’d rather a stable ok looking population then a weak amazing one. Hopefully over time I’ll be able to pick out the best of their fry and separate them into a tank for selling and try to stabilise a good red.

Theres also a blue pearl line which the blue velvets are actually more similiar too. I could expand on this with many others and where the future of the shrimp market is going...

The “common names “ cherry shrimp, blue velvet etc. are made up to attribute to density of color. All the blue shrimp or red shrimp you see in this video are exactly the same species of animal. Just check out Latin nomenclature. And that is what Cory is referencing when he says he’s not going to get crazy with the common names.

    Thanks for all your videos! Super helpful content, wish I had a fish shop near me with someone as passionate as you. Most fish sellers I deal with seem to just know the bare minimum for the job or check an iPad to answer my questions. I recently picked up 6 cherry shrimp to put in my 5 gallon betta tank. I didn’t realise in advance that the more red coloured ones are usually females. Within two weeks my tank was full of babies! Thankfully it’s pretty well planted and had about 5 survivors and now I’m seeing another new batch of babies! Do they ever stop?! They don’t seem very good at cleaning up leftover fish food. Wondered if you had any suggestions for a good bottom feeder to pickup food debris that can go with the betta. I was considering a few panda corys as they’re small. You can check out the tank im talking about in my latest “Diy resin aquarium ornament” video if you get time. Thanks again for all the top content!! ✌🏻

    By far my favorite video so far Cory! I have a ten gallon with about 10 cherries, with two or three berried females. So happy😄 I also love those platies. Could you possibly tell me what they are called and where you got them?

    Good advice, have been thinking about keeping some of those shrimp. Have a sponge filter in the back and I know there is a good amount of algae on that. Did not know they prefer to have lots of algae and moss too.

    Nice one Cory. My biggest regret with my red cherry shrimp is that I put them in too many different tanks initially. Now that I'd like to try to keep some other neocaridina species I'm struggling to find a tank that doesn't already have cherry shrimp in there and dont want them to inter-breed!

    Nice Thank you i am looking to populate my few tanks with shrimp, fish and lots of plants. I am just getting started. Hopefully i can find enough moss to fill half a tank (10 gallons) to get started. Then get shrimp to reproduce. I have two 29g, a 20g and 10g. I am hoping to get each going with reproduction to eventually mix with each tank. Buying substrate has been costly, and putting off getting into co2. Anyways thanks for the great helpful videos.

    Excellent description how to seed an Aquarium. That's the easiest and fastest method how to stock a tank after 2-3 days (slowly, of course - but really fast). Can you explain what you said "contaminated" the moss? I'm always struggling to grow moss (java, christmas, riccia...) in various of my aquariums and the only one where it slightly grows is my highly filtered stream tank. Or maybe make a guide about moss? Species, how to grow it.... if any fish eat it (I suspect that happens in my big tank).

    what do you recommend for temperature, and do you worry about pH? How about adding catawpa leaves and alder cones? Love your sponge filters by the way, converting my whole fish room to them with the ziss airstones gradually.

    i am working on a shrimp aquarium atm, i was wondering how do you keep up with the shrimp that unfortunately dont make it in an aquarium that has a lot of moss?and other then water changes do you need to vacuum the tank? also Thanks really enjoyed the video a lot, very helpful.

    Hi Corey, Greetings from Australia! Just wondering, is it still as effective to have sponge filters without the lift tubes, as I noticed some of the sponge filters in your tanks didn't have lift tubes in them. Just wanted to know if I should bother with lift tubes with my sponge filter setups Thank you and keep up the great content brother!

    Hi Cory, it'll be the platies cleaning the algae off the glass....the shrimp do love to eat it, but in my experience (about 10yrs I've been breeding these guys), they never graze it all the way back. You can check it out on the Ep I did on Cherry Shrimp breeding, I do a few things I haven't seen done before that work exceptionally for me, and there is even some legit prawnography as I caught a couple in the act :) Anyways, keep up the good work mate.

    Hi! I have been following you since I started keeping fish a few years ago. Thanks for all the helpful information. Here, today, I have a question about keeping Cherry shrimp. I bought ten, online, and drip acclimated them. That was about a week ago. I have seen only three at best. I know they hide but am wondering if my nitrate is affecting them? My tap water is 40 and I can't seem to get it down from about 70 even with plants although I have run out of API tests and the NT labs mini kit doesn't have that test so am unsure of nitrate levels at present. My fish seem ok and my Amano are doing OK. I am also concerned about my filter. I have an internal AquaEL which will suck up babies should the cherries ever breed. My tank is 105 litre long. Any advice you can give me will be most appreciated. Also, in this video you say that the shrimp eat fish poop. I always believed shrimp and snails will not! You read so much conflicting information on the web! Thanks for taking the time to read this lengthy questionnaire LOL! Lynne x
