I am a Biology teacher and used this video during lockdown. I had the students study the different water parameters and made them watch this to see an example of when water parameters are important. Thank you for this beautifull guide! My students loved it too!

Guides like this are why I love KZread. Not some 4 minute crap with barely any info but a nice 20 minute quality video with great information! Keep it up and I would love to know if you have any information on keeping Paratya Australiensis as I am from Australia so they are native here and I have just started with breeding them!

I've never seen a most completed and well explained video on my life.

Best video I've seen on KZread for any shrimp hobbiest. Honestly watched 30+ videos and so glad I found this. SO HELPFUL!

This channel deserves to be 100x bigger. Awesome quality videos, always perfect length

Hi I’m wanting to get into little shrimp aquariums how are the shrimp

This video is so good. Very detailed, easy to understand. I'm brushing up on shrimp info because I'm starting to keep them again and just wanted to let you know- great job!

Ive watched sooo many videos, this is by far the best of them. Seriously the best one I've ever seen! Thanks for taking the time to give us some great advice!

Finally some informative information! Thanks so much. Great to see a fellow South African on KZread xD

GREAT VIDEO!! This video was both very informative and entertaining as well. Everything you need to know about freshwater shrimp and breeding them in one video. Thanks for sharing and as always do what you do if it works for you.

By far, the most complete guide on caring for shrimp. Well done.

By far the best 'how to' video on breeding anything for a beginner. This format is concise, informative and easy to follow. I wish all fish videos were so helpful. Imagine what you and Tank Tested could do together. Bravo!

This is actually THE BEST, most informative video I’ve seen. Thank you so much. From an aspiring breeder.

Fantastic little guide! Love the in depth info about each type of shrimp! Thanks alot guys!!

Thks for giving us this very informative instruction how to take care of a shrimp!

Thanks dude... This is seriously awesome! Well done... Where can I get some of the other colours?

This was THE BEST, informative, clear, and to the point video I've seen in the solid two days of looking. So, I've kept fish before, success, but hadn't since I was a kid. Jump forward to now, two and a half years ago a friend of mine was trying to rid herself of a 5gal with a beta and a pleco (waaaaay wrong size for tank) I rescued it, homed it, lived for a few years and died. Got the beta a 10gal and some friends, (beta friendly of course) sad to be so limited. Then the beta died. They did have them for a while before I got them. So now I'm excited! I can get more than just a few "safe" fish! Get a few things (been a few years now) but I spied these "Ghost" or "glass" (as I've seen them called on the internet) shrimp! I loved them! Max they get to be just over an inch in length. So cute, hard to see but cute. Fast forward to now. Just moved. Got a new tank so i could move the fish from my old aquarium to a new snail free one. I couldn't bear to throw away my empty tank of moss balls that are multiplying like rabbits. So I ordered some assassin snails online, they'll be here soon. I also put in a few minnows and goldfish for fun. But the top tank didn't do so well with the transfer. Some of the fish were older, maybe I put them in just a bit too soon, not enough water and bacteria from the previous tank, who knows. Any who. Had NO idea about the sponge filter (picking that up today) but I got some more Ghost shrimp to have and they're doing super. But I REALLY want to do a solo shrimp tank. It's my new next project as soon as I get payed! This was a great video! Thank you!

22:22 I am glad to hear that, on my second batch as a shrimp keeper and its nice to know that there is a learning curve.

Most informative video on shrimp I’ve ever watched. Thank you very much! 🦐

I eventually got round to watching this video. 😄 Great video . It answers most of not all the questions that people ask when starting to breed shrimp. Great work. Love to see more of your shrimp and videos.👍😄

I learned more about the chemical chart here than in my college class lmao

I really am stoked to start a shrimp tank after watching this! This is the best video by far I've seen on shrimp breeding!! Thank you 😊

Thank you for the video. It's definitely useful for beginners like me.

I have been reading and watching videos on shrimp keeping and breeding for the past several months. I have gotten good information on several sites. On KZread I am down to 3 (+/-) people I watch and listen to regularly. This post is the most comprehensive and it cleared up some questions I still had. Outstanding work Thank you.

One of the most completed guide in shrimp keeping! I am a crystal shrimps breeder and I have been using tap water for years. I guess it really really depends on the shrimp line and the quality of the local water 😊

A full guide indeed! Very interesting and educational. Thank you for sharing! I subscribed and put notifications on, because Your KZread site is excellent!

You have me geeking out so badly, I spent a half hour just going through the list in the beginning. I've never heard of sulawesi shrimp... I'm unbelievably excited 😍

Very informative video. In my experience, AMANO shrimp are the EASIEST shrimp to keep but the toughest to breed. They are less sensitive to water temperature/parameters, clean the tank better and live longer than any neocaridina or caridina species. Regardless of their lack of color, Amanos have quickly become my absolute favorite shrimp to keep.

I'm rather new to the hobby, and still learning so much (so I appreciate your content more than you know). I REALLY appreciate your charts/visuals on breeds/types, and water parameters, as it's much easier to reference a screenshot than have to continually look up info! Thanks again for all the effort you put in to this.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I haven’t started my journey w/ shrimp yet…but I’ve watched, probably, over a hundred videos in past couple years! You’re is by far THE BEST OUT THERE!!! Very informative…thank you very much!!!

such a good guide. i had so many questions since im just starting out with some chery shrimp. this answered every single one

Best shrimp keeping guide i've seen. Clearly explained & well thought out A+++++

Wow-what excellent detail all on one video. With so many mixed opinions on how to grow and look after freshwater shrimp, this is the best and cheapest 23 minutes I have spent yet on my fact-finding mission. This explains why our little mate "Wally" as we liked to call him and his slightly larger lady "Stripe" (Both Black Crystal Shrimp) survived and managed to have some kids in our 4-foot tank but unfortunately, the tap water and friendly otto's in the tank eventually got the better of them all. We won't make the same mistake again. Thanks very much.

this is the best guide out of all the other videos. very informative. keep it up man!

I would have bet anything that there was no way this video would have held my interest all the way through to the end. But it certainly did (and I don’t own shrimp!). Well produced both visually and verbally (sentences were always well crafted and effective!). Probably the best produced video I’ve ever seen on youtube.....

amazingly clear, educative and interesting. Thanks for this

Thank you so much! Fantastic job, well done

I have had some success with orange neo cardina I had a real good batch multiplying I introduced a beta fish because my blue beta will not touch them in his tank what foolish mistake I made. I am starting a more serious breed only setup no hob filter I want a sponge only maybe a small internal flow fan or power head. I have tons of plants and driftwood but now that I watched this video I am going to lower the temp I usually 26 to 27 in most of my tanks I will try doing a cooler tank gonna aim for 24 c see how this goes also I have an RODI water filter for my saltwater aquariums. I will add the minerals needed because my water is zero TDS after watching this I am super pumped! Great video.

Wow , i had no idea there were that many really COOL looking shrimp varieties.😎👍

lol- why didn't this pop up when I was searching how to breed Amano Shrimp? Well, I now have a handful of 60 days old Amano shrimp and it was consistency that got the job done. The feeding tips are definitely going to help me for their continued growth. Thanks!

bro I know this video was 4 years ago but it saves my new shrimp's life so i was sitting on my couch watching this video, and I decided to do a quick strip test for the water parameters to see if they matched the requirements for cherry shrimp, nitrites were alarmingly high, (the test said 10) so i do a 50% water change then test for ammonia 0.50 ppm, I had never tested ammonia above 0 ppm, I immediately panic, and do another water change 70% this time then test again, 0 ppm the nitrite is also at 0. i was so relived lol my guess as to what the HECK happened is as I was adding new plants (i grabbed them from my community tank as they were overgrowing) some of chicken's (my pearl gourami) poop hitchhiked along with the plants, causing an ammonia spike in the 1 gallon nano tank I have 2 small cherry shrimp in there currently, and they were only there for 2 hours when i did the water changes so it wasn't from them.

Wow, great channel. I just discovered it. Somehow it never showed up on my YT feed.

Thanks man! I am currently waiting on my 25 liter tank to be finished with the cycling process and want to keep shrimp together with some small fisch. At first I wanted to breed for the mony but you are probably right that it wont work. I don't want to have only shrimp in this and thats it. I want to enjoy the tank and not just have it as a money farm. I will however probably still put in different colors simply because I can't decide between them and I would love to see some crazy mixtures. If they do end up all beeing brownisch after a vew generations then I will just put in some fresh colors and pick those out as life food for my betta. 🙃 Thats how my first shrimp ended because im new to this hobby and thought some hiding is enough. 😐 the fish will come after the population is to my taste. I am thankful for this video it was very informative and probably saved quite a vew lifes and money in my case😥

This was dope! Thank you so much for all this!

Good information about shrimp. Thank you buddy

This is probably the best shrimp guide out there. I think you should consider remaking this in the not-too-distant future when 4k/2160p is cheaply available and maybe a section on shrimp prices comparatively from ghost shrimp to the highest grade of crystal red shrimp, though it would have to be comparatively since prices probably differ region to region. Also, do you have any experience with putting marimo moss balls in the tanks? I'd imagine shrimp would like it, but don't know for sure. I can tell you put a lot of work into this video, and 4 years after you uploaded it, there still isn't a better guide on youtube.

I am so glad I didn't skip past your life story !

loved it! great job all round.

A wonderful video. So informative

My red cherry’s are currently 4 months old, and one is now carrying (: I’m so happy as iv been trying to breed for a while as I want shrimp from my tank where fish won’t eat them
