Didn’t know I could be so invested in a shrimp love story. Theo and Ellie are too cute

Me too, I didn't realize they were so sociable.

You're doing very well in improving your documatary skills. Adding all of the foley noises was a really nice touch. When watching a nature doc, you take for granted how much foley adds to the storytelling and it made a difference here.

The shrimp-in-a-garbage-can video inspired me to start a neo colony in a 10 gallon water cooler. Best idea ever! Some old substrate, moss, and driftwood, on the bottom. A cheap grow light, red root floaters, a heater and sponge filter…. Every couple weeks I catch a bunch with the bottle method. I keep the best, good ones go into my display tanks, and I sell the less impressive adults with the RRFs and moss. I wouldn’t really describe it as a money maker, but I have made a lot of friends.

Shrimp in a garbage can video?

@@hydecarolan4497 On Keeping Fish Simple's (this video) youtube channel, he took garbage cans and some SUPER cheap accessories and bred a ton of shrimp

This is SOOO adorable and it’s like u have another world in your room.

Ecosystems are so cool! So far I've only made terrestrial ones. Yours is looking quite lovely!

Inspiring ...... so much so, spent this weekend setting up a jar, but using Walstad method. Now back to it .....

shrimps molt when there's drastic change in water parameters. i usually dose calsium in the water when moving shrimps, then do a water change to get rid of excess calsium a few days after they molt.

Wow! I absolutely loved this little project of yours nick, you have created something about beautiful in such a small space mate and to see it full of life is heartwarming to see. Love the names of the parents too mate, cant believe there is baby shrimp. Great job as always mate 😊

Fantastic camera work, I love seeing the little creatures so close and so clear 👍 😊

Yes please do that very keen to see how the jar goes

go to some local pond and gather some decomposing leaf litter out of the water and put it in. then you can really see what nature can provide you with^^

Well need more this type of videos so relaxing

So good to see a mini ecosystem grow, I started one last week with neo caridinas and did the same in the spring with tadpoles and now the time has come for the hind legs to be formed. Can't wait to be the mini frogs.

Those mini crayfish are so cute

Pleasant Sunday morning treat, glad your posting frequently again Much appreciated

This is one of my favourites videos of yours

Can you upload more please?

You amaze me! My husband and I enjoy watching your channel so much. I’m impressed that you are so willing to share information! Keep up the great work! Are there any species you haven’t been successful in breeding?’

Great storytelling and videography as always!

This video was so cool! From story telling, to the fine editing was perfect! Keep it up! I really want to make one of these now too! Lol

I have two kids and their names are theo & ellie 😊 iimagine my fave when you introduced the first two shrimps 😂

The water cannot flow through the sand quickly and therefore the lava rock cannot have a filtering effect. Aquariums require a break-in period of 2-6 weeks before animals should be added. This is the only way to guarantee a stable environment. You could stabilize the water directly because you took the equipment from existing tanks. However, this is the exception and not obvious for beginners. Also, how much work and experience you put into the care and water values ​​​​on a daily basis is not visible here and should be communicated to people so that they know how to replicate this. And especially if you choose light sources (like here) with a high UVC content, this can quickly have a negative effect. All in all a good video. I would really appreciate it if you would clarify a bit more. Wish you all the best. Kind regards

exactly what I was wondering. I had read so much about making a shrimp tank. stumbled across this vid and it almost seems like he was trying to say you dont need to do anything to the water or let anything cycle or break in. confusing for people new to the hobby like myself

That was so cute to watch. And you've build them a beautiful world to live in.

Great audio mixing/editing, awesome vid love these little docos 😁😁

Simple and nice setup, love it❤❤❤

Thanks from Tucson AZ USA. Very nice video. The project turned out well.

I'm currently inspired to make a horticultural aquarium with shrimp and snails. Watching this video gave me confidence and feels like a great kickoff point for my research. Thanks! =]

You, too, huh? I feel the same :).

How amazing are these lil guys. 😀

When you top-up the water try to do it without creating too much turbulence. Use a surface to break the fall of the water stream.

Now I wanna make one! Great video as usual!

ive been wanting to do somethin like this for so long, this looks so good mby the motivation i need

i feel peace watching this tiny ecosystem

Always fun to experiment, looks good!

Amazing job ❤️

Love how you named the duo🎉❤

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing

That's cool, I did the same with leftovers and cuttings from my other tanks. I had my doubts but it is working a lot better than I expected. Yours looks nicer tho than mine

I did the same thing recently. I bought some shrimp for a different tank and decided to keep the water they came in, in a 2 gallon jar for whatever reason. Turns out there were 10 baby shrimp I had not seen in that water and I decided to turn the jar into their home. In two months time I now have tons of baby shrimp and a jar full of guppy grass.

Get them a bigger tank. 2 gallons is way too little. It’s like you being stuck in an elevator

Love the sound effects!

Such a beautiful clip

That’s really good!

I love sea creatures they look so peaceful

Tip, you can use beach soil or forest soil but clean and rinse very well or the soil will put many unwanted bacteria in the tank 😊 😊 😊 😊

Jars and bowls are a great place for culls or excess males. Then you're not constantly having to pull babies to keep the bioload down. Thanks for another great video! I've never seen such great images of those tiny limpets eating! ✨🙏✌️✨

I did the same exact one like here 2 weeks ago and its working out smoothly.

this is beautiful. I love the video production, reminds me of Tanner of SerpaDesign. Look forward to the update. I may do this same thing on my desk.

Hey Nick your videos are awesome keep up the good work I learnt a lot from watching your videos I will have to give that a go 😊😊

Absolute bangers, one after another.

Nice. I have one too. Also with filter. But believe it or not. The ones in the jar are superbig and healthy. With all respect. I even sometimes forget to give them food but they have enough in the jar to eat probably. Like to watch

I used to have the exact same thing with snowball shrimp as well!

I love this, and think I might give it a try.

I have my jar since a year, it was from IKEA for spaghetti, I never feed the shrimps they just have plenty of algae from plants. they're very relaxed and thrive well in it.

I want to do this too and I just have a question, did you wait a few weeks before adding the shrimp? And also if you did, did you put any liquid fertilizer during the cycling? Oh and last thing, do you do any water changes?

Loving the new style of content

I am glad that your eco jar was a success, I have also done this, plus I also have three big glass fish bowls, and another one with a peace lily growing out of the top of it. And all of these have been very successful.

I swear every video you put out is better and better than the previous. I can tell you’re passionate about what you do.

I want to do this!!!!!!! So cool ,Love it!

love this keep them coming

Beautiful love story ❤

Doesn't surprise me you had success. That's an ideal shrimp hotel!

Great video! Makes me want to create a shrimp tank.

Great, really great, superb 👌 What are the aquatic plants you have placed inside the jar???

I looked for your updated video but couldn't find it. Did you make it yet? Very excited to see it!

i loved it. keep this series pls:)

I added pond water to my tank. I haven't lost a fish in a long time ❤

Amazing sound affects

Such an amazing video! Could you try to breed ember tetras next?

I use pond soil topped with sand, some moss and a branch. My shrimp and snails breed constantly. I spread them out in my outdoor tub ponds. Zero chance of accidental release. I live in a very arid location.

where's the part 2?

Thanks for sharing:)

Nice if you live in QLd No in Melbourne you need a heater for it. But nice project!!

Not what i expected from your channel but i dig it.

no way my guy found a random mango i threw away

Really loving all of the information you are putting out. Have you considered starting a Discord?

Looks very nice. Please watch a few FatherFish videos on how you can make it a bit more efficient!

This is my plan! I’ve just got some Moss balls… then when I was researching those it made me come across someone who set up a shrimp eco system with them in, and now I want shrimp too! Do you have an update on these guys?

Brilliant

Loveeee this idea!!!! Can you do a video on what you have to do to clean it? Bout ready to go to my thrift store looking for large jars 😁 also, would a low powered an air stone benefit in it?

Great video 😁👍

hi mate i love ya videos quick question can you try find out the exact bunnings lights your mate adrian used in his fish room please mate keep it up bud going great

Nick, when you added the water to the jar, did you use RO water or just tap? Would the TDS eventually get to high, or will you do small water changes?

very cool

Verry good video and on my birthday🎉

I did it twice with different jars, plants and shrimp. Both shrimps survived for about 6 months and then devoured by the plants. Yes, both shrimps disappeared without a trace.

GREAT BEAUTIFUL MICRO-VIDEOS OF THE TINY-CREATURS :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

great video dude!

hi nick can you please ask adrian what the exact bunnings and ebay lights he uses in his fish room bud your the best please let us know bud happy fish keeping

i love this concept! i have a bowl on my table, my shrip already gave birth 2 times. i had some baby fish in my bigger aquarium but most of the babys were eaten after 2 days. so i decided to put them in the bowl too since they are so small. they are doing so well! i have the bowl like a dutch hybride/ walstad methode. i used pottingsoil and pond soil. then topped it of with some nice round grain of poolfiltersand. its great aeration. i didnt used hardscape so i could put more plants. and i used snails who dig themself and the substrate all around. i use a little piece of black alder to control my ph since i have a high kh. and i used some little pieces of cattapa leaves becouse we all know how well they are. a month ago i introduced a little colony of DAPHNIA. use HAVE to get them. when you look some information up about them you can find out that thay eat algea, and the clean water! they are perfect creature to have between the size of a shrimp and the macro creatures like the copepods we saw in your video :) thanks for sharing KFS! :D ps just uploaded a video from it, if your curious about it you could have a look :)

What sort of potting mix did you use? I’m in Australia and can’t find a potting mix with no fertiliser. Also would love a pic of your bowl. I have a shrimp bowl too sort of like the Walstad method but I have an air stone in it. Thanks

i am making my own no filter tank. i put some soil at the bottom and some sand...but the water is murky. i may need to redo it.

What nutrients did you use ?

Did you use regular water or water from another stable tank? I want to make something similar (no filter) for my office tank.

Id love to do that.

Nice, didn't realise shrimp could survive without a heater.

Cute 🥰

LOVE UR VIDS ❤when can we get the update??

Wow, very nice. I have some question about the snails. Has their number increased? I have a fish tank with guppies and the population of the snails got really huge and I removed as many as possible and put them in a jar with some plants and water from the tank. I see you don't have any filter, does your jar smell with the snails? Mine started smell really bad!

Please add some diving water beetle

Thinking of doing something similar, do you top of the tank with regular tapwater?

Kewl. I have wanted to raise little shrimp too but have not found any healthy one near me. In good time I suspect.
