Completely agree with the selling side of shrimp! It's no joke when you say that all you can think about is the shrimp and if they reach their destination safely. I only ever do next day delivery for that reason lol. And rude customers... oh people can be so awful.

Those Shrimp look amazing at 13:00

Cheers Mark that was thoroughly entertaining. Congrats on finally pointing correctly at the end. 😂

I am here for the farting .lol great stuff

I setup a Blue Dream Neocaridina shrimp tank with a couple of Cory’s and a Double Halfmoon Betta about 6+ weeks ago. I started with 15 shrimp. I was getting worried because I had found 3 dead shrimp over about 3 weeks, then I saw one of my shrimp was berried, and a few days later there were shrimplets in my Java moss. Now I have little blue shrimplets everywhere. My shrimp are apparently now breeding like crazy. I was looking at my shrimp again today and saw at least 2 more berried shrimp. And for those wondering, my Betta never messes with the shrimp, but I keep him well fed too. My Blue Dream shrimp are the same color as my Betta and it makes for a striking combo of bright blue. Thanks for the info on keeping shrimp. I am lucky as my tap water parameters are very good for keeping shrimp. I just dechlorinate the water, but have great PH, GH and KH. I do small water changes every 2 weeks. My tank is heavily planted (Java Moss, Java fern, Anubias, crypts, red root floaters) with a substrate that is a very small gravel. Love your videos.

And I think we quite enjoy your Tangents

Loving the info here, thank you for the premium shrimp content! Lots of Love from Ontario, Canada!

​@@MarksShrimpTanks Just got to the part about Hammock Camping, I want to suggest the AMOK sleep system. My back isn't in the greatest condition either and I also turn for relief in my sleep. This system has allowed me to do trips I never thought possible. I thought it was a gimmick but a lot of my buddies have switched over to AMOKs after I bought mine. Cheers

Good morning!

A tip about hammock camping. You should try the Amok Draumer. In that one you can lay flat. I'm a side sleeper, and I have the Draumer XL and I love it.

Ive looked into it before and to be honest I just prefer to sleep on the ground because of my back, i like being inclosed when camping like in a tent.

I’m so delighted to have found you , dear compassionate man! God bless you 🙏✝️

thank you very much for your reply, I will try to make a netle mix myself but I know that the original is out of reach. After all, it was done by the guru👍👍👍👍

IED like to see rabbit snails I've been debating starting a few ! Maybe shrimp master can beat me to it and give tips he he 👍🏻keep up the great shrimp work 🦐

we should find out the benefits of coffee for shrimp breeders 😅

Your read / answered my Q 🎉 More of this please really enjoyed it can totally tell your happy in your new shrimp room and loving the longer more chatty type uplosds M

Lol your a trip Mark. Cool dude

Love this Q&A format. I only keep red neos, going on a year now. They exploded in my 55 community fish tank and now populate most all my other tanks. Currently set up 20 gal long, and yes there’ll b reds in there too. I find it hard to purchase other colors of neos when my population of reds are constantly increasing and need somewhere to go😆 maybe it’s time to visit a local lfs to see if they’d be interested in trade for store credit. Love camping too tho we don’t really rough it in a tent anymore. Hubby & I bought an old Airstream and redid the interior. Most of the comforts of home where ever we go. And the beds are comfy😁☮❤🐠🦐🪴

Whats ur thoughts on the father fish method of tank set up with neocaradina shrrimp

I've always wanted salawasi but everyone I speak too says don't you only have to look at them they die! I know you lost yours due to heater failure but how was keeping them in your opinion? ? Oh and another 2 yellow galaxy fishbone females berried again that 4 lots of babies dropped as well I'm so so grateful to your LB 😊 kind regards Kaz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I bought 25 sulawesi shrimps. I keep them on sulawesi mineral 7.5… half of the group died… i ordered sulawesi Mineral 8.5 and I hope this will fix the Problem

Oh, forgot to mention we’re in Maryland, USA😁

You have inspired and guided me from across the pond and honestly the most insightful videos. You got me into these wonderful little creatures! Currently have blue bolts as well as black galaxy pintos going strong because of your guidance! Haha I'm up to 9 tanks and adding one a month steady! Your honesty helps us all We greatly appreciate you and your knowledge! My question is how do you feel about C02 in a caradina breeding tank... I know kh is a huge factor and want to know your opinion and solutions to kh.. caradina no liky but C02 needs it I believe

09:40 @Marks Shrimp Tanks I think your biggest error was after adding a flee collar to Lucy, then playing in the shrimp room😢

ah but i caught it before the shrimp were deeded 😂

How do you prepare substrate if you do not have extra tank to replace current substrate ? Can you put new substrate in filter bags in a tub with spongfilter and then remove old substrate and replace with new substrate after it stopped leaching ammonia and gone through cycle .

@MarksShrimpTanks

5 ай бұрын

yes you can add a filter or soil to a tub to cycle it, that the direction I am going in so a tank change is more or less instant and you have a cycled filter running at all times.

Nice

Hey Mark, i started with my first caridina - calceo bees, i found them on your channel, fell in love and until now everything is great. I set up a second caridina tank, i want to go to taiwan bees… but i don‘t understand the colouring stuff… galaxy fishbone, boa, mosura, pinto and so on. I dont understand how it works… is it a kind of grade? On neocaridina it was more easy to breed and cull 😅 maybe could you show and explain the differences?

Mark can you do a mating video with some educational advice. Just for the newbies like myself who has not long witnessed it. I honestly thought they were attacking. I lost female from the stress i guess

Great Q&A. Don’t suppose you’d have any advice or reason none of my shrimp have shown any interest in the almond leaf I put. Assume it’s more enticing once it starts to break down after a few days?

Been a few days now and still not really any interest (other than a few babies to tuck away under) I put in spinach too and no interest. Maybe they are all just happy with what’s in the tank. They’ll go for wafers and snow pops readily

Hi Mark, a question for your next q and a. I use RO water for my shrimp and tetras (separate tanks) using GH+ for the shrimp and Equilibrium for the fish. They both re-mineralise the water. So, could I use Equilibrium for the shrimp or GH+ for the fish. Would save a lot of faffing around with different water as I remineralise to 200 conductivity for fish and shrimp. Thanks

Some tetras require some amount of KH and some do very well with 0Kh and 5GH. What you need to do to be successful mixing tetras and Caridina shrimp is research the fish😉 to figure out which are suited to cold water soft water… and cold water moderate/hard water (Neocaridina)

What fishflake do you use?

@@MarksShrimpTanks thanks. The tetra goldfish or tetramin? That is the only two tetra fish flakes I can find in South Africa. I enjoy making my own food and want to use as an addition in recipe. I find it fascinating what shrimp would flock to adding or removing one or two items in a recipe.Reason for my specific question and specific answer I am enquiring . For example adding soya and green peas in a recipe is almost a must for my shrimp . This definitely attracts them . Dried Mulberry leaves powdered up also a big positive attraction. I have seen limited videos where you tubers would compare in one tank at same time different popular brands . However they do exist I just want to see more. I do think it might step on some companies feet showing little to no interest in their food.
