Everything You Should Know Before You Get Shrimp! 7 Tips for Keeping Shrimp in an Aquarium

I think oxygenation is super important but a sponge filter will provide that.

Thank you so much

My shrimp cracked her exoskeleton....what should I do??

Can you please share how you're shooting those upclose video footage of shrimps? Like what equipment or device are you using? Thank you!

I only have blue diamond in my tank notthing else but merimo balls the shimp was just put in to clean my balls but now i have a realy nice dark green jade shimp that showed up i realy like to keep it but will i lose the "blue diamond" line if a dont remove the single jade shimp?

What if I don't want an excessive amount of shrimp? Would it be ok to get a few females and no males? Will they still be happy?

7.6 is a basic pH btw

My shrimp just won’t stop breeding, so I put betta in there.. and he is now obese😭

I believe a 7.6ph is actually alkaline (or base) - and if I recall correctly, great for neocaridins

There are actually more than two types of shrimp. Theres also ghost shrimp, amano shrimp, and others.

Thank You for a Great Video.

Can you get purple shrimp? I thought about getting red and blue to see if they might get purple

For the keep only 1 type of shrimp per tank tip, isn't it ok to keep shrimp that cant cross breed together? Like neocaridina shrimp and ghost or amano shrimp?

remember as a kid trying to chew on a shit ton of skittles and the clump would be brown after mixing colors. shrimp are just like chewed up skittles.

7 ain't an acidic PH tho..

6.8 for caridina is way too high!!
You should be aiming for 6.0.
ADA Amazonia (gold) is usually the only substrate that will achieve that and tsnks need to be reset after 12 months.
That's caridina btw

but if i dont want a bunch of babys
not every country allowes unlycenced breeding of animals even if its shrimp

i also heared they are pretty robust with water lol so one person says one thing the next person another

I love this! Great work 👍🏻

you can cook them and make mini shrimp roll

Aquarium red shrimp started out in Taiwan.

I lost half my shrimp due to planaria probably 30+ so uhhh yeah get rid please

All neocaradina davidii come from areas in eastern Asia. There is one neocaradina, the neocaradina palmata for which the wild type comes from Japan. It is the subspecies from which the pearl varieties of neocaradina come from. Neocaradina palmata don't generally crossbreed well with neocaradina davidii, and for that reason, along with the fact that they are separated from the davidii by an entire sea, it has been speculated that they may in fact be an entirely different species. From these they have got the white pearl, the blue pearl, and the amber pearl. The wild type is a light grey with a brown stripe running down its back.
The neocaradina davidii came from four wild types and one wild type variant which were a black abdomen with a grey carapace with black speckles, a solid dark brown, a light brow with a darker brown stripe down its back (and its variant which is entirely clear), and a grey with tiny reddish-brown spots on its carapace and on back on it's abdoment. You often here people say that if you breed mixed colours they will revert back to their wild type colours. This is not true. They will create a browning coloured shrimp which can best be described as a mutt, but which almost never bares any resemblance to the wild types. The wild types are colours all of their own, and unfortunately you almost never see them in aquaculture. The wild types are definitely on my wish list, but some of them have become extremely endangered, so getting them is not likely to happen, and you can't get them by back-breading. It just doesn't work that way. The other neocaradina which I would love to have are equally as difficult to find. I'd love to have some topaz, some red rili blue, royal rili/extreme red rili blue. If anyone has a lead on any of these, I'd sure appreciate a shout-out. Thanks.

I already messed up I got One of each color 🥲 thinking they would make cool colors now I know I’ll have a bunch of brown shrimp

sponge filter makes a perfect nursery for baby shrimp too 🙏

Which plants should i avoid with shrimp?

7.6 is not slightly acidic... opposite...

What's so wrong about brown shrimp? Chocolate Shrimp sounds cool!!!!! Sheesh segregation of crustaceans this planet is bizarre.

About the stable parameters of water and the sensitivity of shrimp. I am surprised by this statement, because I had a large aquarium with shrimps and fish and one day I decided to change the design of the aquarium. I fished out all the inhabitants, driftwood, plants, left only a few large stones and soil. Replaced about 90% of the water. And you know what? Three days after the launch of the new aquarium, I found some live shrimp there!!! I was sooo surprised. Apparently they were hiding in the rocks. They survived and gave offspring. Since then, I have considered them incredibly tenacious creatures.
Red Cherry Shrimps.

I acclimate the temperature by floating the bag or whatever but I don't acclimate the ph and I never had any problems with fish or shrimp. I do use RO water though

I have a mull berry tree near my house ahhhhhhhhhhhh🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I’ve never had shrimps I really want them they are so adorable!!

you did not say she has her eggs in her flaps 😂😂😂😂😄😂😂😂😂😂😂

you can bleach burn new flora, correct?

I can't lower my PH below 7.5, OMG! I'm using acid buffer, perhaps the amount is not enough, I really want to keep neocaridina!

I think they are from Thailand but I could definitely be wrong

I started with 11 cherry shrimp from another hobbyist and now have hundreds! I just took down my “shrimp” tank and divided the shrimp into 2 big heavily planted aquariums.

is it okay to put my shrimp to community tank??

Planaria traps only help to control the population in most cases. It's very hard to ensure every single one has made its way into the trap. I highly recommend fenbenzadol, or Panacur C! When dosed right it cures planaria and hydra without the loss of shrimp or fish.

I got 4 shrimp last April, now I have ~200 easy. Reproduce like cockroaches. xD. Blue, white, red, speckled red/black and white, red with black back.

Blue Dreams, Crystal Reds, Cherries... It feels like I just got to a rave and people are trying to sell me party favors
🤣😂😅😇

My 15gal tank is heavily planted, cycled(and maintained with pure ammonia) and has a piece of driftwood and Fluval shrimp stratum, the Ph hovers around 6.3-6.5 and I havent added any shrimp yet, because I am worried it is too low. I guess Ill give it more time and more RO water changes to hopefully stabilize it out a bit higher.

TIL shrimp all have names that sound like weed strains

Is inbreeding a concern with shrimp? How to avoid it if it is?

7.6 pH is slightly basic, ftr.

Thank you
