Ghost Shrimp Feeding & Offspring
Feel free to ask questions or post feedback! Palaemonetes spp. paludosus, commonly called the "Glass Shrimp", "Ghost Shrimp", and "Grass Shrimp"; females berried (holding fertile eggs) as well as less than two week old shrimp offspring. In the video you will see them eating sinking shrimp pellets and unfrozen blood worms. There's even a baby shrimp eating a bit of blood worm! For more information about care, view my last shrimp video: th-cam.com/video/PfvepsTrZps/w-d-xo.html

Experimental Planted Freshwater Sump
มุมมอง 7K13 ปีที่แล้ว
First - sorry for the poor quality of video! This was an experimental setup for a freshwater sump. The goal was to filter the water through a reverse under-gravel system in the sump, which would provide nutrients to the roots of plants. This was supposed to act as a replacement for expensive substrate. It "worked" and grew plants quickly, but the larger tank should have been setup with more bio...
Texas Cichlid Spawn & Fry Development
มุมมอง 32K13 ปีที่แล้ว
Texas Cichlid (Herichthys cyanoguttatus) Spawn & Fry Development. Their tank measures a pH of ~7.8 (API chemical test kit) and water temperature varies between 74-77 degrees Fahrenheit (room temperature). The two were collected from different locations along the San Marcos River (San Marcos, Texas). The fry are now being fed a varied diet to include frozen, decapsulated BBS (baby brine shrimp) ...
"Seed Shrimp" (Ostracod)
มุมมอง 12K13 ปีที่แล้ว
My video, titled "Water Fleas Daphnia pulex", was an incorrect identification of the featured specimen. Thanks to two knowledgeable people, they have been properly identified as Ostracods. "Seed Shrimp", from the taxonomic class Ostracoda, are tiny crustaceans which exist in both fresh and saltwater. Visit www.aquaticopia.com/invertebrates/ostracoda for more information.

Texas Cichlid: Breeding
มุมมอง 8K13 ปีที่แล้ว
Wild-caught Texas Cichlids (Herichthys cyanoguttatus) laying and fertilizing eggs on 1/19/2011. Almost all of the eggs hatched successfully. The male's dorsal fin was permanently damaged in its natural environment, probably when it was younger. The camera used was all we could find to capture this moment, and couldn't use a tripod. The next part will feature the fry hatching and becoming free s...

ALL MY EGGS HATCHED OVERNIGHT WITH HUNDREDS OF FRY EVERYWHERE IN MY 75 GALON TANK. 2ND HATCHING - 1ST HATCHING I PUT THE FRY IN A DOUBLE NETTED FLOATING HATCHERY & SOMEHOW ALL THE FRY WERE SUCKED OUT & EATEN EITHER BY THE PARENTS OR BY THE OTHER FISH IN THE TANK. THEY NOW HAVE A TANK ALL TO THEMSELVES & THEIR BABIES. TIME WILL TELL IF THEY LIVE OR GET EATEN UP BUT IF THEY DO DISAPPEAR THIS TIME I KNOW WHO THE PREDATORS WERE. SO SO TINY. LIKE A PINHEAD
GREAT EXPLANATION & HISTORY & VIEWING OF THE ACTUAL FERTILIZATION GUY. FANTASTIC.
What a shit video
love these guys so much personality great pets
The top fin of one of the fish is chewed off lol wow
Hold on don’t Texas cichlids Fan their eggs for oxygen too or do bluegill just do that
Anybody can tell me i have only female texa fish she is only one in aquarium since 3 to 4 months ,but last night she gave eggs ,is it possible to born babies
Thanks for sharing this beautiful and extraordinary video, never seen so close.
I think I have more snails than water...they run the tank like the mafia
How big is your tank ?
Hi! I have a question for y'all. Do we need to separate both parents from the tank.
Yes . It is necessary
Well done.
get another one! you may be lucky and have baby snails! I have them
I want one the colors are so nice
When I remove baby chiclid ? Please help me I am have hurry my Texas chiclid give egg
My green Texas pair keep laying eggs and can watch the male fertilizing them and they are super aggressive but the next day all eggs have been eaten !!! I feed them plenty and have them in their own tank ! How can I overcome this ??
@Rangers Fan hi there! Hope you are keeping well & safe! Do we need to separate the parents? How we collect eggs, wouldn't that eggs gets damage while collecting?
Do you have to move the fry from the parents? Or an they develop with the parents.
feel like watching animal planet, nice vid ;)
Ddo they eat their babies
Thanks for making this video... it is very helpful for us
Sick camara
How can I keep them from reproducing? I started out with just one that was between the plants I bought, since it was just one I didn't bother. But five days ago it started giving birth to like two baby's was still ok with that I've got quite a big tank so enough space. But today I got like at least 20 more baby's... how do I stop it? I mean i like them but I still want to enjoy my guppy's instead of a huge amount of snails.
Celine Reus you can’t really unless you kill or remove all of them cause one snail can lay eggs without a partner
i know this was posted a long time ago but i had the same problem. had a bladder snail come in with a shipment of marimo balls. i kept him in my tank and named him gary. once he got older he started reproducing like crazy. i bought a cheap 1 gallon tank that came with light +filter, put a few floating plants in there and put gary and all of his little babies in there. now i have hundreds and hundreds of little snails. they're so much fun to watch and easy to maintain
I have A 1 gall tank for them and a few trumpet snails I love watching the little guys
Best video, till date!!
Bee pollen?
will they eat eat my live plants?
Ty Dang no they only eat dead decaying leaves .they dont eat any live plants even soft ones like elodea
Ty Dang at least in my case
Snails wont eat live plants at all, if you see them doing so it is most likely because the leaves are dying and it hasnt shown yet. This is typical for plants that are just acclimating and are melting back
I had no idea that shrimp or freshwater fish would eat tiny earthworms, Learn something new everyday about my ghosts
do I need to add anything to the water to strengthen the exoskeleton on my shrimp !!!
I love feeding my shrimp flakes for this reason, that you can see the flake color going through their digestion tract.
Per Shop yes this is my favorite part, but the food is messy i feed blood worms and brime shrimp
very cute little seed shrimp. We have them in the local lake as well as translucent ones without any color at all.
Excellent work on this video.
got some for a test aquarium b4 getting more fish ...... all (4) ghost shrimps died withen 6hrs .. goldfish still ok
Awesome. Love watching cichlid parents inspecting their offspring just after the babies hatch.
Hi! Appreciate the video! May I ask what song you're using?
What is the ghost shrimp eating in 2:23 and where can I get those?

Good job cool fish!!
Looks ugly....How to get rid of these creeps!!?? Ostracode infestation in my 20 gallon shrimp rank ...help!!!
+minhaz shaon introduce some black skirt tetras. tetras have the proper jaw structure to eat ostracods despite their thin calcite shells. the sailfin tetra is the preferred species as this tetra's natural diet is ostracods, but not all fish stores stock them.
So how would u get these things in ur tank to begin with..? Is it like planeria worms? Harmless but.. good? (Dnt even knw if u would consider as a good thing;))
+Uwant?iGot_RL👍 they exist in virutally all aquatic environments. chances are, eggs attached to a plant, or they were introduced through a fish, since roughly 25% of ostracods consumed by fish that lack the jaw structure to chew them will survive the digestive tract and be passed relatively unharmed through fish feces. if you pick up pebbles, detritus, or sediment from a dry lake bed they could contain dried eggs, which can survive a decade or two out of the water.
A decade or two..holy crap
Cool video bro! I seem to have a problem with my ghost shrimp. I saw them chowing on my guppy last night should i be worried for the other guppies
I never put fish with my guppies, only a Siamese algae eater.
I really like this video! I've kept the same 6 ghosts in my tank (that sounds odd....) along with a veiltail gold, a black moor, a black molly, three lyre-tail guppies (two gals and a guy), and five platys (platies?) in the same (LARGE) tank for well over two years, now. They all seem happy in this little community/ecosystem. So far, there have been no orders for shrimp cocktail. All is good with the pH, nitrites/nitrates...although I have some difficulty with the calcium hardness (thank you, California!). I've noticed that I have two females who are full of little ones. Do they need some nesting? There are NUMEROUS places for them to hide, so....
I have had ghost shrimp for a while...They're adorable little dorks <3 They all have colorful personalities and are always up to something!
this is so fun to watch, ha what a blast, thanks.
I love that first song
RIP Meatball. You were the best Shrimp I ever had.
Ew these little seed things are floating on the top of my water. I thought they were some kind of eggs. I netted some and left the net dangling in the water and noticed they're swimming! They look like little fleas, I don't want them in there! I think it's from overfeeding shrimp pellets.
They are so funny, little beans zooming around, makes you think that life is so diverse.
When I was diving I saw something that looked like this. It cleaned my hand. The instructor said that it was called a glass shrimp. Is this a glass shrimp?
Yes some people call them ghost shrimp some call them glass shrimp i forget there real name though
Benjamin A. Herder glass shrimp are marine ghost shrimp which are usually sold in pet stores as live fish food are freshwater
Wait!! .......are they eat-able cuz im starving my ass off . ;-) O:-)
First of all theyre too tiny to eat... second, they eat shit...... literally! I'd pass
do they eat algae?
Yes their bottom feeders
brandonlasvegas in my experience ghost shrimp are terrible at controlling algae. if you are looking for shrimp that love algae, I'd probably go with amano shrimp. Cherry shrimp are also pretty voracious when it comes to algae, one hungry female can easily clear a square inch of algae per day and they also love dead plant matter, which is good when you have a plant thats melting back in your aquarium.
ghosts are excellent algae eaters
You need one per gallon to control algae especially in fish and plant aquariums. My two ghost shrimp did better in five gallon, than my one cherry shrimp in one gallon.
Don't feed them worms it could get them sick.
