Hi my name is Mark and I have helped thousands of people learn how to keep and breed shrimp over the years, I help aquarists go from killing shrimp to tanks busting full of shrimplets. 🦐✨

Have fun Jennifer!!
Brilliant and inexpensive! I have to give it a go too now!
Love it. I've used skewers with suction cups on the ends as a floating plant barrier. 😅 Needless to say moving that up and down is a pain. I have lots of extra moss to do this though!
Such a cool idea did this rite after watching this video mark
good stuff, have done similar with my weeping willow moss for years ... but ever since I got a 3d printer I switched to my own designs for moss holders in which the plants are simply clipped into ... honeycomb grids for moss walls, moss spheres, tree like structures etc. ... models of such kind can also be found on sharing platforms like thingiverse. Surprising how many tools and parts I have printed for my tanks by now ... plantholders, filteradapters, food dishes, skimmer, shrimp-/plecocaves, lampholders and even entire frames for the cover of a few tanks. Might wanna look into 3d printing for aquariums, saved me a considerable amount of money over the time given how much shops want for some very basic stuff. Only thing to consider is the use of foodsafe plastics like PETG, alltho most PLA should be ok too its not so certain especially with some of the unusual colors.
Fabulous and so much easier than using grid
If you lay the thread out flat, you can lay Moss across it, fold it over and twist it. You will get a noodle / yarn of moss. Almost like a chenille. Then you can wrap that over anything to attach moss. Fly Tying Trick. Called a 'Dubbing Loop'.

You should!
I really like this. I’m thinking to make one and put it on the end that gets a touch of sun. It might help with algae

no you are!!!
I seen a mose round ring floating in the water at petco. I can't wait until I have enough moss to make one. Peco moss ring are made of styrofoam and I didn't want styrofoam in my tank.

I know right the white doesnt look great in a tank but the foam its self is inert once its expanded.
Greetings! What are those little shot glass things in each of your aquariums?

Hi Mark, love the videos. i have a question about moss, I can' t keep it alive in my tanks but i can keep shrimp alive so thats the important part i guess, any tips for keeping moss alive?
@MarksShrimpTanks

Yes, absolutely you have to make it the dominant plant. If you get algae in it stop feeding the shrimp. If the moss yellows it needs nutrients.

Thank you for the reply Mark and the valuable information about keeping moss alive, I was going to ask the same question, but like to read the comments first as to not bombard you with the same question 20 odd other people have asked 😂 happy Shrimp keeping

Thanks for the reply. Looks like i might need more nutrients, thanks for the info.
Might be even quicker to put together if you use a tank safe glue instead of thread, could just dip the lengthwise skewer onto a tray of your moss cuttings .... would take seconds instead of minutes

I said in the video I tried this? or did I cut that part out 😂
What type of moss did you use?
@MarksShrimpTanks
Ай бұрын
Erect moss so it grows straight up, something else would have been better.
Why do you use thread rather that fishing line? Doesn't the thread break down?

yes thats what I want, the plants over time attach to the item and the thread disapears.
