The Shrimp Heaven: Shrimp Tank Setup for Caridina Aquascape Tutorial
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This is my new shrimp tank setup for caridina shrimp. A really simple design with mostly slow growing plants to showcase the shrimp. I’ve not done any of these aquascapes on my channel before and I’m very pleased with the end result. It’s going to look more beautiful in a few months when the plants have grown a bit more. Can’t wait!
Tank dimension 52x34x34cm

@@ShrimpMania hello just watched your latest video and thought I'd give you an update! The original tank I was referring too was fully cycled in about 3 weeks and I've already ordered and got 11 shadow pandas in it! They have been in the tank for a week and doing well! Probably the quickest cycle of an aquarium I've ever experienced (used to keep discus and many other species for years) so quick in fact my display set up with a dennerle internal filter that was set up Probably 10 days prior to the ugf breeding tank same parameters, soil and beneficial bacteria seeded still hasn't fully cycled! I'm guessing it's due to the extra oxygen with the airpump in the ugf 🤷♂️ just thought it was worth a mention! I've also set up another tank using your method and that too has fully cycled and I'm acclimating 16 crs as I type this! Love the updates and can't wait for mine to breed like yours! 🌱🦐 I think my next shrimp will be galaxy fishbones if you can recommend a good source?
i've watched this video 3 time,s so lovely going to rewatch the golden galaxy fishbone video again :) seems to be 0 or next to none content on golden galaxy fishbone
hi which pump do you use with which you fill your tanks? and which leds do you use?
Hi, congratulations for your videos. Always cared for and interesting. I wanted to ask you.... if I wanted to start with the neocaridine, what kind of soil should I use ? These seem to lower the pH too...

Hi, any soil will work as long as you prepare your water for neo with some Kh it will buffer ph back even if you have a soil. Soil beneficial for plants growth so sometime is essential

May be they help maybe not to much but I don't see big difference if am honest. Im trying to keep my tanks as simple as possible means no addetives in the water, no ferts or tannins. Tannins also can swing ph level so your water parameters will change and this is what normally stressing your shrimp if we talking about high end caridina not neocaridina

How long do you keep your tank recycle for? And if I did planting now can I still do the same process or do I remove the plant? My shrimp all died in a 3 week dark cycle tank. And mine don't grow algae like yours. What should I do? Hoping to get a reply from you. Its been a month of me doing the tank. If there a way to email you or private message you I can send you a pic of my tank.

Just make sure your NO3 is below 10ppm at all time, baby straggle to survive if its above 10. I'm only do feeding and water change I don't use much of the additives, simplicity is a key to success
I recently set up a planted shrimp tank with Amazonia Put in a sponge filter from another aquarium and the tank cycled relatively quickly, like 2 weeks or so I thought. I have about .15ppm ammonia in the tank. I guess it’s undergoing another cycle? Another KZreadr matt said that low amounts of ammonia that come from Amazonia aren’t harmful to shrimp…. Is that true? Was going to aquashella this weekend in hopes of putting something in that tank.

I had one high tech aquascape /Caridina shrimp tank before, used neo soil shrimp for the setup, and used rotala H'ra and monte carlo, with co2 injection the plants go really well, and so do the PRL, they breed and multiply, monte carlo full carpet and rotala grow really well, until I decide to stop co2 Injection (because tired of trimming the monte carlo and Rotala) suddenly 3/4 of my shrimp colony vanished, still a mystery until this day what causes my shrimp dead, some says nitrate spike because plants don't grow well = nitrate didn't get sucked by the plant, some says the Dissolved oxygen decrease significantly because the photosynthesis is not optimal anymore. Any though from you guys?

Hey Steven, I used to have one of that tank very similar to yours, I had co2 injection and some plants and shrimps did well and bred a lot. With C02 your PH drop by at least 1 so with CO2 for example if you have ph 5 so without your ph can be 6-6.5, caridina like lower pH and dont like sudden changes in water parameters. I think when you remove co2 your pH started to be higher and your shrimp didn't like it.
