Youre tanks and shrimps are beautiful. Is it normal for shrimps to have periods of resting, like for more than an hour? My red cherries are often just sitting there doing nothing. When I watch other peoples vids they are darting around?
Tbh shrimp are pretty chill most of the time. They are grazers so they just pick at whatevers in front of them. They tend to only dart around if there is a fresh molt in the tank, as they're looking for the female.
Fantastic! The more I learn about Caridina, the less I wanna try. I'm a planted tank guy that just started getting into shrimp. My tap water is liquid rock, I'll stick to my Neos and fancy Ramshorns
@@debwalls9405 Are you new to shrimp? I did stuff like this when I first started. If your water is good and cycled, don't stress too much. You're more likely to do something harmful by constantly messing with things or adding chemicals to get the water "perfect". As long as you don't make rapid changes or let huge ammonia spikes happen by adding too much food, they're going to be fine. My rule in my 3 tanks is if I think something is dead, I just leave it until I see shrimp swarm it. If they don't, its just taking a break so no worries.
I fiddle about in my shrimp tank at least 5 times a day , removing snails and anything else I see moving with tweezers. Would this be stressful to my shrimps?? Is this what is meant with changing the water parameters? Is that what Im doing by moving the water around?
It could be, but if you do it often they will get used to it. This is not what is meant by changing parameters. Parameter swings happen if you say, add hot water into the tank or add water with completely different pH too fast. There are many other reasons it could happen but you don't have much to worry about with what you're doing.
The only thing about your videos that upsets me is seeing your hairgrass. I've got some in two tanks, one with sand and root tabs and a budget light, and another with a decent hygger light and eco complete substrate. I get almost no new growth. It must hate my tap water. It's pushing 10dKH out of the tap so I'm guessing that's it. I should just get an RO unit, but I don't have a good spot for it.
@@BobMossNanoTanks OK, I'll give it a haircut. When I first planted little sprigs of it, I cut some short to see if there was a difference but didn't notice any. It may have had to just melt first so who knows?
First time keeping shrimp. Goal was to keep a Betta, but now, I love my shrimp and want them to survive and thrive without being eaten by a fish.
That's how we all get sucked in. This time next year you'll have multiple breeding tanks haha!
great info as usual and beautiful tanks n shrimp oh and liek the face i guess!!! lol and shirt is dope rubber ducky go hard!
Haha thanks man! Hopefully I run into in another game sometime soon!
Thank you so much! Your shrimp information is much appreciated 🙂👍🏻💯⭐️
Thank you for the support!
@@BobMossNanoTanks very welcome sir🙂👍🏻
Don’t tell the other guys, but you’re the best aquarist on TH-cam.
Haha I'm sure you say that to all the pretty aquarists you meet ;)
@@BobMossNanoTanks I might 🤣
Nice and well presented video! Good job. I'm working on the very similar one.
Thanks so much. Yours will probably be better than mine haha
good video, gave a like for the shirt
Mother in law nailed it with the gift.
Excellent info as always!
Hopefully I didn't ramble too much!

If you get an RO unit you won't have an issue but they are more of an initial investment. The soil alone is like $30-50 a tank.
My shrimps are driving me insane. I watch them constantly with a magnifying glass to see if they are ok. But what cld I do anyway if they weren't?😪

@@BobMossNanoTanks Thankyou so much for your reply. They are such a worry.💔
@@debwalls9405 my pleasure!
What is all the little white bugs in your tank
Seed shrimp!
How can I get rid of them without harming my shrimp?
stop feeding as much is the only way i can think of. or fish but they'll eat shrimps too
Sweet Vid !!
thank you so much :)

Keep it trimmed for a few months. It will spread horizontally, filling out the tank and then you can just let it go ham.
