Let's start off with *Thank you!* What a ride this has been for me and the team! I hope you enjoy this room. We take a lot of pride in our shrimp and all animals we care for and sell. If you are interested in our shrimp, you can find them here: flipaquatics.com/collections/neocaridina
ive ordered from yall a few times and its always been packaged really insulated and secure, and the sweedish fish is a nice touch! Its nice to see some behine-the-scenes, this is really cool
I have been following you for a while. I remember when you made a tearful video expressing at one point how this business venture of yours hit a significant milestone; had begun to impact your life in a significant way. I pray and hope you are a God fearing man and you, your business and your loved ones continue to be blessed. I pray for you and all small businesses to continue to survive in this economy. I got back into the hobby, nano tanks and aquascaping, but I’m also an over the road truck driver. I miss my hobby and when I can finally get back into it I’d like to possibly stop by your location and get a tour. God bless! Let’s keep it rolling for 2024.
Thanks for sharing your new setup. I found it really quite exciting. I am only at this Fish Keeping for a year. A few months ago, I unknowingly came home with a few baby Shrimp hiding in the Moss that I went to get some. I am really enjoying watching them. I have 1 or 2 dark red, clear with a red belly, and a few clear, and a few faded grayish color. I have been hearing great things about you during these past months... so this is really exciting seeing this. I did forward this video to a high school Alumnus who is planning to get back into Shrimp Breeding again. We both graduated from the W.B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences, Philadelphia PA. Blessings to you and to yours.
You’re an inspiration brother. I only got 3 tanks and it’s a handful but passion keeps it goin and still wanting more. Hopefully the wife allows it and I’ll put in an order. Cheers
Awesome video, Rob! The cherry shrimp colony I bought from you 3 years ago is still going strong and looking great with very little culling. I'm really curious about the tank reset you do between imports to prevent diseases because it sounds like you already treat them with something to eliminate diseases. If you have NOT reset the tank between imports, what impact do you see on the shrimp? Any particular diseases becoming more common or are deaths more frequent? Part of the reason I ask is because it seems like the most efficient way to keep and breed shrimp would be to have tanks like these along with large clumps of a plant like java moss. The moss would provide food, water purification, and would be an additional product to sell as it grows. It also seems like it would be easy to pull out when you want to check the tank health or remove shrimp. The only problem would be if you were worried about diseases between batches because it's harder to sanitize completely. I'd love to hear whether you've tried keeping them with easily removable plants like java moss or more on why you choose not to do that. Thanks again for sharing your setups!
you already have the space and all those water tanks, so why not utilize it to also grow plants as well... moss balls, moss in general, and some other plants that would go well with shrimp customers...
How many ibc, ans what else would i need to breed them for home consumption? (I already have aquaphonics, chickens and a garden with vegetables) I want to get as much self sufficient as possible
Hi, I’m working in Aquaculture with crustacea I noticed your copper waterlines do you not find any problem with that? copper tends to be extremely toxic down to 5 ppm. Is this not the case with freshwater shrimps?
I've heard copper pipes don't really leach in shrimp-safe ph water. So it's not a problem. It's effectively inert. Not sure about salt water, but shrimp safe water is not corrosive enough.
I don't know how much your filtered water costs you to produce, but you could probably save a fair amount of water by adding a drain tap and doing the drain and fill processes separately. It would be easier to control the exact amount of water exchange too eg 25% change install a drain tap at 150L level leave tanks to drain and turn taps off, then use the fill taps to replenish the water. Leave the overflows at 200L to prevent accidental over filling. Awesome set up dude.
Can you tell me how much will it cost if you rent a garage like you have. I'm from Bangladesh & soon i will be going to US. A rough estimation would be fine or please tell me yours rent price 🙏
We haven’t seen any wild type after a year of them breeding out. Very little have shown lack of color or clear spots. Which is surprising with all I’ve seen on or read on keeping so many and letting them breed out

This means so much! Still a God fearing man, no doubt :) Thank you for your comment and the inspiration!
I’m gonna have a lot of explaining to do to my wife when I tell her I bought a warehouse to breed shrimp and fish
You have such a nice setup Rob, hats off!!
Thanks Mark! I really appreciate it. Hope all is well with you! Happy new year

Insane pond room, thanks for showing us.

About time you posted.
Video quality is kick ass.
Great tour. Thank you for showing it off.

This is a cool video. My son is going to freak out when he finds out haha! He follows you guys closely and you are why we started a tank with shrimp!
All of the amanos I’ve gotten from Flip always end up massive 💪
Wow that is awesome, could walk around in their for hours
Shrimp paradise! I just set up a 29 gallon and only have 8 shrimp lol
love the video, hope you do some more unboxing videos again, it helps to see what options are avail for shrimps, plants and fish
Awesome stuff. Thank you for sharing your awesomeness! 🦐
Awesome video! Please do an episode for the caridinas, would love to see them!
Your videos are of global interest.
I'm curious about a small hanging tank with shrimp.
WOW 🤩
Absolutely love cherry shrimp!
Great video...what kind of LEDs u using......for your shrimp breeding
you already have the space and all those water tanks, so why not utilize it to also grow plants as well... moss balls, moss in general, and some other plants that would go well with shrimp customers...
Are you still breeding Dragon Bloods?
Theyre super hard to get, keep and breed in Australia
what lights are you using?
Wow Great set up! im surprised the water change system isn't on a Rainbird system. Over all great system
How many ibc, ans what else would i need to breed them for home consumption?
(I already have aquaphonics, chickens and a garden with vegetables) I want to get as much self sufficient as possible

What do u feed em?
You need to build layers in your ponds. I Dont grow shrimps myself but i noticed this. I Wanna learn though.
Do you use any water treatment product for this specific use??
Wow ibc tanks

I have an honest question! Are the shrimp less healthy without a more "natural" environment? Like proper substrate, plants, rocks, etc?
Are those edible?
hi ROB WHERE CAN I GET HOLD OF SOME EGGS OR FRESHWATER PRAWNS TO START A BISSNESS IN SOUTH AFRICA PLS CAN YOU HELP
Hi any heaters
So you are no longer re-mineralizing?
you cant mix shrimps can you? They will crossbreed?
Very jice
How to kill planaria in your farm, sir?
Quality over quantity.
Preach!
mass breeding mean cheaper shrimps?
Nice setup, but that overhead you deal with would stress me the Frick out.
can you eat these shrimp ?
The answer is no.
Man, I wanna be in your shoes how did you start? idk where to even sell
my dream
Seems Like its more of a buy large qty of Shrimp and Not breeding them lol
Dreams….
Mush mouth
