What happened to your experiment with breading different coloured shrimp, did you do an update on that?

[natashas]

i just wanna say, i found your channel about 3 years ago. I even ended up writing an english essay in 11th grade about guppies because of you haha. I've started breeding guppies and recently got a betta! just wanted to thank you and i'm glad my fish hobby journey was inspired by such a passionate person :)

THE four essentials to breed Shrimp:
1) Provide enough hiding spots for new born Shrimp (A big clump of moss or other dense plants)
2) Provide enough surface area (f.e. porous stones, wood, dense plants)
3) Feed them REALLY HEAVY
4) Regular culling of colorless and unhealthy shrimp to keep the strain in good quality

Shrimp eat biofilm. You have to find out how to boost the growth of biofilm. Thats the key!
P.S. Many micro organisms are phototrope ;)

I know you know what you're doing, but I'd highly highly recommend putting the duckweed with tank water and not just dry on its own in a bucket, and plan on returning it to the tank. Because shrimplets love hiding in duckweed. I transplanted duckweed from my cherry shrimp tank into my discus tank 3 months ago, and ended up with cherry shrimp living in the discus tank after it. You just never know.

edit: Okay I got further into the video and I just wanted to say, shrimp molting has nothing to do with water changes. If anything, too many and too big of water changes can cause osmotic shock and kill off your colony. The only thing that affects their growth is food, you need to be feeding way more. High protein and tons of calcium rich foods. You also should add tall driftwood, to give the shrimp more space, and throw in some longer rooted floating plants, they love that. I've had my red cherry shrimp colony for just 4 months now, I started with 22. I've done a total of 2 water changes with them. They are in a 29 gallon and I now have well over 80 shrimp hanging out. If you raise them right they are just absolutely prolific breeders. My amanos with them also stay berried and molt monthly, while of course I can't raise the larva right now, they are still doing amazingly. My bamboo shrimp with them also molts every 1-2 months. I've had him and the amanos for longer to be absolutely fair. The tank has been established for well over 8 months.

I love this guy. His attitude is amazing. He will say things like “that’s for you to learn” or “that’s not my concern” 😂 great guy.

[danielcampbell]

You need to have a source of calcium in the tank for molting. My tank of blue dream shrimp stopped breading after a while when I had pebble substrate. After adding crushed coral they started molting and breeding again.

Well there probably was bunch of babies in the duck weed. In neo shrimp tanks I normally have a peice of base rock or crushed coral or oyster shells in the tank. More calcium for them and increases the pH.

Amazing video! From 8k to 170k, I’ve watched your content and it has improved a ton and it’s very informative! Great job kfs! 🙃

[MarksShrimpTanks]

You know before I never fancied this type of shrimp but then I seen a few berried ones on line and I cant get my hands on them anywhere., nice video mate keep up the good work.

[ShrimpMania]

Thanks for an update. I normally change 10% of water weekly that works great for me. Also regular water top off is quite important from my experience so the water parameters stay the same and I would recommend to do it on the daily basis. The moss wouldn't grow very well without aqua soil in the tank or dosing ferts from my experience and often will overgrow with algae like in your case

My yellow neocaridina shrimp I started with 10 and now it’s 3 months later and now I went through and collected them from all of my tanks (slowly divided them between different betta and community tank) and I have over 200 now. Selling the majority to someone on the weekend but yeah. Same period of time, started with half the amount, and finished with over 200

[CHENGSAQUA]

I love your set up and watching you get a new fish room has got me so interested in doing my own but I’m kinda more into it for the money:(

[mahmkgs]

Ayy congrats on 170K just 30K more fish lovers ans you are gonna get 200K!

[PaulsKoipond]

Thanks for the info buddy...trying to build my own red cherry shrimp army

[adgrMAG]

Thanks for the update, we are waiting for the betta fry

[ZeroPotatoGamingPH]

Love the videos bro! Keep it up, i started keeping fishes and learning to breed because of you.

[aaronarmstrongaa]

Shrimp stop breeding in winter mostly. Unless you can stop any temp swings but they even stop by feeling barometric changes in colder months

[EliasFishroom]

Have you tried giving some of your duckweed to the goldfish? I'm sure they would love it!

[terrimartin]

Hi I saw your video about you getting ripoff by someone I feel so sorry for you but I am very happy to see you did not let you stop living your dream good on you I love whaching your video I hope your shop go's very well all the best in the future terry

In my personal experience, with almost no water changes(less than once a month) the main difference between slow growing and fast growing colonies is more food, particularly with protein as it helps females regenerate eggs faster. Hope this helps!
