Hello mark, you mentioned earlier that you think that gram + bacteria consumes oxygen, well that's not true (lemme explain). You can't determine if a bacteria is an anaerobe or aerobe by looking at this. The reason why we call it + or - is because they have a difference in structural composition of the cell layers. Both bacteria you mention are gram + bacteria (If you meant Lactobacillus and Bacillus subtilis). So you need to look individual at the charts to determine if they are aerobe or anaerobe. So both of them are Facultative (an)aerobic organisms. So this means they can consume oxygen in your tank but also other components, subtilis is known to break down nitrate or nitrite. Reason why I think is , if they flourish in major concentrations, it will affect water values and the cause of death. Hopefully I wasn't mean, but just wanted to point this out to you. Love all your video's. They give so much education!
No not at all mean, I love comments like this because it helps me understand what it is that might be happening in the tank , thank you for the clarification :)
Just to be clear I thought aneaerobic meant that they could live in conditions with no oxygen "So this means they can consume oxygen"?
So for anaerobic and aerobic there are for each 3 classes.
Obligate anaerobes: which are harmed by the presence of oxygen. Two examples of obligate anaerobes are Clostridium botulinum and the bacteria which live near hydrothermal vents on the deep-sea ocean floor.
Aerotolerant organisms,: which cannot use oxygen for growth, but tolerate its presence.
Facultative anaerobes: which can grow without oxygen but use oxygen if it is present.
Vice versa for aerobic bacteria. Thats why some sorts of anearobic bacteria can live in presence of oxygen as you state above. But for sure facultative anearobics prefer medium without oxygen, but can withstand oxygen. I hope I didnt make it to difficult xd.
No you said it perfectly thank you sir :)
Done with pleasure :)
Remember to Comment Like and Subscribe if you found this video helpful, Happy Shrimp Keeping 👍
Also guys this is the same video as before but it had details missing about dosage so I deleted the old video fixed the issue and reuploaded..Happy Shrimp Keeping
Danke 👌🦐
Hi Mark - You say the dosage instructions for baxter ae is too strong and you mix enough for all your tanks but I only have a 7 1/2 gallon tank, what would you recommend? Thank you.
Hello Sandy, for that size of tank which is roughly 30 liters I would do no more than an 1/8 of the recommended dose every 2 to 3 days, little is more with shrimp hahaha
Always great stuff Mark. It’s been a while hope all is well. 👍👍🐠⛄️
hello Fishy Snowman !!! I am as good as I can be hows you ?
Is it ok for fish in with the shrimp?
If you want to breed loads of shrimp in a tank dont add fish unless its something like a bristlenose pleco.
Thanks for the great vid and the info. I'll be using this with my breeding tanks very soon.
Today was my first day using it. Thanks for the video. I didn't mix it in water. some say you can just add it to the top of the water and it will fall. So that's what I did. But next time I will mix it in the water. I only have two 10g shrimp tanks.
Nice video like always Mark. I think you Did a video in the past How to increase baby servival rate Or How to feed baby shrimp. Think the mix you used there still Works for me. Bacter ae . Montmaniralite betaglucon en bee pollen. Thanks for the upload. Looking forward to see next video. Big tumbs up
Does this make the tank cloudy? I have a 5 gallon shrimp tank. Concerned it would cloud the water.
It can do but all powdered foods can do I think.
Do you still put food in your tank after you dose with Bacter AE?
Eugene Tee i am interested also
no I dont actually ,I feed my shrimp just 3 days a week just now and every day I dont feed them a solid food I give them what you saw in this video :)
I think of you every day when I feed - thinking I'm feeding them too much but they always seem so hungry when I feed them though sometimes I do only feed the baby food when I have little ones.
@@MarksShrimpTankshey mark, how do you stop them from eating each other ? especially after moulting if you feed them so little ?
my guys has so many places to hide but like to moult in the middle of the tank and everyone jumps him
I have never had an issue with them eating each other at all.
So I overdosed my snail tank as an experiment to see what happens all the bladder and ramshorn snails all survived but the kh disappeared to nothing and I believe there was oxygen loss to that’s why I put the tiniest amount in my shrimp tank because overdosing this stuff really does cause major issues
marky.... i bought some bee pollen at my healthfood store today. it says its pure all natural bee pollen. it came in a granule that dissolves in the water. is it ok for my shrimp fry??
oh yes pollen is very good for shrimp
I have a question, I use broneo wild bio-film conditioner and they sa one level spoon/100l water. But the problem is that they didnt send any spoon with it, so what shall I use instead and how much to a tank 16l?? And shall I do it everyday?
Ive never heard of that product my friend.
Recently got into shrimp keeping and am prepping my tank and a quarintine tank. Thank you for all the helpful information!
Any time!
Thank you Mark. Enjoying all your videos and the Facebook group!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for showing how to use BacterAe! Is it possible to refrigerate any unused portions for another feeding? Like make a bigger batch?
Not that I know of
cant see why not
That would be great for someone pet sitting without them messing up the proportions :) thank u! I might try it
Cool thanks for the info
Can you use this is newer tanks (cycled) or is better with well established tanks? Cheers
You can use it in all tanks but you must remeber to not put to much in.
If the bacter Ae expired,still can continue using?
yes probably as long as its not mouldy
Hey Mark,
I am going to start using this method on my 7 shrimp tanks.
I was wondering how long i can keep bacterAE suspended in a bottle like that though? Would it be better to just make a small amount every other day, or can i keep a larger amount of the solution for lets say a week or more?
This may be a dumb question since i know there is bacteria in the mix, but i figured you may know the lifespan once it's suspended in water.
Cheers and have a great week!
Hello so I have a tank with shrimp and fish in it. I just purchased bacter ae and shrimp fit. I've read they are safe for the fish and shrimp. I would use very very little once a week of each 3-4 days apart I have about 5-8 shrimp I plan on getting more soon. I got a good bit but I didnt know I had to have a fully established tank before getting them. Idk exactly how many I have though. I have occasionally done to big of a water change without realizing it would be too much and ended up killing several shrimp. Because my tank isnt cycled yet. And I'm trying to keep ammonia levels as low as I can. It raises about 1ppm in 24 hours. And nitrites are at 0ppm nitrates are at 5ppm every 24 hours. Well idk that a shrimp was molting the next day after my big water change. I do 1-3 big water changes a week and I do a 50% water change every day. The big water changes are I do 59% then once the fish seam fine which is normally right away I do another 50% which then I stop. Idk why but a shrimp which had survived that for weeks just got stuck in his molt and that is the 3rd I've had die that way. Alsoive lost shrimp to predators which are now no longer in my tank. 3 dwarf crawfish and a betta. Now they live in a 10g and my shrimp are in a 20long with other fish. 2 1.5 inchish black molle which dont care about the shrimp I've never seen them try to eat one and I see them near each other all the time. 5 zebra danio , 4 ember tetras and 6 neon tetras. Which I've seen them eat shrimp but only dead ones. Meaning died then the fish got them. I don't want to loss any fish but I need my shrimp to be healthier because all they will eat is what's already in the tank growing. They dont eat algae wafers or pellets I dont even think they eat the left over fish food from feedings.
If just putting the powder in the tank is there any difference to doing it like u do it on video and how often should this bacter a.e should be fed ?
Can i use this in my community tank with shrimp?
yes cant see why not
Another question, how do you get ur schrimp to eat all these kind of veggies. My shrimp ignore it :/
👍❤👍
Well maybe im overdosing bacter ae. My water is blurry and 4 shrimps died. Thanks for the tip.
Hello there. I used 400 liter tank 40 gr bacter ea and it makes smell. What would you recommend?
I have some tank mix of guppy and shrimps .So can I use bacter ae for mix aquarium ? and how do you store bacter ae?
If its a neocaridina tank you can use just powdered flakes my friend, if you must use bacterae just use a tiny amount like the end of a match head every other day, storage is just remeber to shut the lid mate.
@@MarksShrimpTanks Ty for answer. I mean if guppy and neıcaradina are in same aquarium. Can I still use Bacter ae for community tank?
yes for sure.
Hello Mark , thanks for the tips I live in Australia and I couldn't find bacter at here. But I did find ST - 01 bacter. It opens the same way yours does, and came with the same scoop. I know less is more.- so I have 64l tank so how much should I feed?
I'm just wondering why the manufacturer of Bacter AE put that dosis on the container. Is the high dosage meant for a heavily stocked fishtank or something?
I dont know, I was speaking to some friends about this just this week and even dosing tiny amounts everyday you will see a difference in the shrimps behaviours so I am not sure what its doing to the water.
I use spring water with aqueon shrimp essentials I do 1 gallon water change every 2 weeks is there anything else I can do 2 get my shrimp population up I have a 10 gallon with red cherry shrimp an is there another easy shrimp to care for I like Color shrimp not bamboo or amano
U put like but no advice to my question
Greetings from S. Florida. I just started a wild caught ghost shrimp tank. So far so good. Is it possible to cross breed Ghost Shrimp and a Cherry or Blue shrimp? Thank you.
Hello Sir, no they cant cross breed as far as I know.
Awesome! Now i know what to use all my sport shaker for :D
Great video again! I`ve just order Bacter AE to my shrimp tanks up in Sweden. Good inspiration!
Have fun!
how often do i feed the bee pollen mark.... just had another batch of babies drop overnight n have about 4 more thatll be hatchin within a week or so..... i dont want to foul the water.....
I was only doing about 1-2 grains per 10G
Hi Mark - well said and the comments are great with further information, a few people over here have commented on deaths from bacter ae ans it think you have helped us all to clear up a few points. i started dosing with water after you mentioned this a while back. i also use montmorillite clay which is mined here in aus and that stuff is great in my tanks .....
Could you do a review on Genchem Polytase? Your old review had 0 info on dosing etc. Cmon mark show me a reviews!!!!!!!!
I dont use it anymore because II ran out of it along time ago.
@mark are you still doing this ?
Uh oh.....I have not been missing it with water. Also afraid I may have been adding too much. I have a Dennerele 10 Gallon Shrimp tank and have been adding about 2/3 of the tiny spoon that comes with it once a day. Did I mess up? Need to get some M Clay.
I do mines every second day and I have a ton of baby shrimp ..if your shrimp are feeding well they are fine
If I use this on a newly cycled tank will it decrease the amount of time I have to cycle it for? I.e 3/4 weeks before I can add shrimp? Sorry noob here.
Yes it will actually as it introduced to very good bacteria strains into the tank
Great video, I was on the verge of sending you a message and asking you for a video like this or even some advice on what to feed my shrimp. Any advice on where to purchase this product and any other foods that you'd recommend would be appriciated.
Always look forward to your videos mate, hope your keeping well and happy shrimp keeping. Have you had a chance to get the kayak out for a spot of fishing recently?
Thanks for sharing
Hello sir , look in the description for a link to BacterAE , and no I have not been fishing for a while my back has been to bad and I cant always have someone with me to put it back on the car unfortunately.
Can you store premixed bacterae in the bottle for multiple days/weeks? Or does it spoil?
yes you can in the fridge, Ive had some in the fridge for 6 months.
I use a guitar pick to dose/scoop bacter ae
soo... how much, and how do you dose an 18 liter tank 😂
How often you feed bacter ae?
I use declonirator named Happy-life and i turn the water cloudy and after a couple of hours crystal clear. Does it have montimorillo clay in it? I does not say that it containes montmorillo clay on the bottle. I ask beacuse i had 3 shrimp die after my waterchange. I have used happy-life for along time but this is the first time i hade dosed montimorillo clay with it. My other shrimp tanks are fine only this one had 3 dead. Did i overdose montmorillo clay?
No I dont think its that, I have dosed way to much clay before and the end up getting a condition called hog nose because the shrimp shell gets to thick, I think this doesnt effect adults but it does effect baby shrimp.
Marks Shrimp Tanks The 3 dead shrimp were 2 young shrimp and 1 baby that died no adults died. The water parameters were good so I dont know why they died.
Hi Mark, is it worth adding bacterAe to homemade dry food. I followed your spinach pellet recipe, im assuming bacteria will activate while mixing the dough? is it still effective when the pellet have dried up? hope that makes sense.
You could, when its dry is in a spore form.
Awesome Mark, very interesting the video 😜 many thanks
Cheers:)
Thanks a lot Mark. I did kill my shrimp with overdosing so your video is very helpful. Can you please give me some estimate how much bacter ae to use for a nano 6 gallon tank? Like only a pinch? And how many times during the week. Its a nice heavy planted tank with crs and bloody marys.
6 gallon is roughly 24 liters so I would use 1/8 of the bacterae spoon in a tank that size every day you are not feeding a solid food
Marks Shrimp Tanks thank you Sir but i do feed solid foods. Glasgarten shrimp dinner and dennerele shrimp king color. So maybe bacter ae once a week?
Hey Mark , I noticed a lot of foam bubble build up on the top of my tank walls after feeding bacter ae to my shrimp tanks. I was feeding half a scoop total to 4 10 gallon tanks every 3 days. So 1/2 scoop for 40 gallons of water. Is the Bacter AE the suspect to my foam bubble buildup problem? Did i feed too much? Thanks
Usually it’s from fat in the food you’re feeding, and could be a sign of over feeding.
great vid mark easer way to add bacter to my tanks thanks mark
thanks marky..... much love... ur awsome
sorry im such a pain....
Do you dose any fertiliser for those beautiful plants that are In Caridina shrimps tanks? I believe Caridina tanks are relatively soft water and plants might lack minerals
Yes I do! I dose the easy carbo stuff, plants are doing much better now :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks Is easy carbo shrimp safe?
@@ehsun7b yes well in big doses I wouldnt think so I am doing 1ml per week in 50 liters of water.
Hey Mark, new sub and first time (soon to be) shrimp keeper.. just doing some research before purchasing some shrimp. Question.. Do i use Bacter AE when starting a shrimp tank?.. should i dose it evem before i have shrimp in there?
Love your videos and your humour!
Thanks!
Yes dose before you have shrimp it will give you a nice biofilm layer :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks awesome thanks :)
Another great video mate out of curiosity how much would you recommend for just a 15 gallon since 2 is for all of yours
whats that like 120 liters , if you have the bacterae scoop I would use just quarter of it in a tank that size :)
If I remember correctly it's like 57 liters I think lol been awhile since I lived outside us so been awhile since I used that Haha though the other day I told a coworker I needed about 4 stone in sand for my big tank she looked at me like I was crazy
The best food till date.
Thank you
Cheers:)
Hi Mark, interesting vid, i'm just wondering if a 60L cherry only tank (I have hard water) could do with this and how much if it would? cheers
Hello, I dont sell this item I just think its very good , you can find it on alot of online store or even ebay and amazon.
@@MarksShrimpTanks I wasn't asking for a price :) just wondering if it's good for my cherries who are in my hard tapwater and if a lower dose is required
ahhhhh my bad , a 60 liter tank is like a quarter of the recomeded dose every second day :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks much appreciated thanks!
I love your shrimp room! It looks so peaceful. I could sit on the floor for hours and just watch them!🤗
Thank you
Im new to shrimp keeping. I want to make sure I understand your treatment cycle. You add the clay and bacter AE every other day? How would you size the portion for a 2.5 gallon aquarium? Can you add too much clay?
You are talking like an 8th of the dose for that size tank and yes you can overdose on clay and bacteria, just take it easy with them and see how they react :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks So 1/8th dose every other day? Once a week?
@@MrBlue1616 every other day my friend :)
Very informative video and right on time. I just started using Bacter AE and I was doing it per instructions. I was wondering if it would be good for fish fry and plecos as well? I know that plecos graze on all the surfaces in the tank so I was thinking that they could benefit from the biofilm.
Yes I would image it would be good for them too :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks thank you Mark. You are the man. As popular as you are and the 100s of questions you get a day I can always count on you to actually respond. Very unlike most other popular channels. Thanks for everything you do for us fellow hobbyist and as always do what you do if it works for you.
My pleasure my friend :)
Owe man I just added my Bacter AE last week and it was clumped up😭 but it’s ok this will help with other people ✌🏾😎
But what would u recommend. To get the clumps to dissolve?
Use a protein shaker like you see in my video if you can get one, there is a mesh inside that breaks all the clumps up
Awsome video sir thanks. Happy shripkeeping ;-)
Happy Shrimp Keeping AKL_ Gaming !!
Always enjoy seeing all your beautiful shrimp!
Thank you Dave 👍
Thanks for the informative video. Do the bacteria not survive in the tank once they are added?
I have been told they live for about a week
I saw 1 white gallon in the tank, what is that for?
was a filter but I no longer have them in the tanks.
Thanks Mark for all your grate wisdom in shrimp keeping :)
Thank you carbon rili
thank you for the great video Mark shrimps look great
You are very welcome spacemarine79 :)
Always great videos Mark. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
hmm, i watch this yestarday ? ;d good job Mark !
yes I made a pretty bad mistake in the video so I unlisted the video you seen fixed the issue and republished it :D
Damn, I thought I had a dream xD
What are your thoughts on SL Aqua magic powder ?
Its very good too, I actually use alot of different bacterial powders I only show this specific brand in this video because it was requested
Marks Shrimp Tanks so if I use magic powder will it be in any different in use ?
👍👍👍👍👍
Nice and helpful video
But why did you delete it before
The part where I add Bacterae wasnt in the original video lol I thought I cant have a video called how to dose something and then not show it in the video hahaha ..the content was there I just didnt edit it in :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks oke I get it now thx
i love seeing your shrimp room it is so soothing
Thank you :)
Love your vids!
Thank you sir :)
anyway i tried buying thru your link after changing the url 😂😂😂
Хорошее видео, не много не понял про дозировку.
dosage is very little, So just say I had a 60 liter tank I would only use roughly 1/8 of one of those tiny spoons in that amount of water.
Большое спасибо! Привет из России !
@@Андрей-н7б3м ну как? стоит брать?
Will you consider adding closed captions so us English speaking folks from across the pond can understand. :O
There is nothing wrong with my English.
