Awesome video and useful 🦐 shrimpy info.... however... I'm hoping this is the last video with the background noise (feedback from the recording device? Reminds me of when i used to play VHD tapes ❤😂.
is cuttlebone powder safe for bettas and tetras as well? my ghost shrimp are co-habbed with those species and i want all my fish to be happy and healthy!
I have used the liquid ones with vitamin D and E with zero issues in the past. I just add crushed coral to the pump now or add a little calcium carbonate powder to the water. I always dissolve mine in a cup of water when adding. Calcium carbonate is the cheapest method because you can get tons for little $. I buy 20 pound bags off of Amazon.
I use reptile calcium, I always notice that different shrimp specific supplements and foods use different forms of calcium, I always wonder which is best.
Yes you can use it I just recommend shaking it in a water bottle with a little treated water before pouring it in. Because if you put it in straight it will have a lot of dust floating on top.
Yes the biggest risk is sudden swings in water quality. That's why it's best to leave a piece of dried eggshell in the aquarium or a pinch of powdered egg shells
I have not used it with cardina shrimp before. I’m sure a little won’t hurt to help supplement them but I would test the pH before and after just so you know what’s going on. Caridina shrimp can be very very sensitive!
Great tips! And cute dog! I can see it in the reflection 😄

Awesome. I use my coffee grinder for grinding my shells :)
Thanks for the egg shells tip 👍
I've gotten to the point where the small shards of undissolved eggshells mixed into my substrate and I kinda like the look of it.

Love these videos I’m learning so much about shrimp lol
@JC Aquatics Thanks so much dude, I’m glad you enjoy them!!!
I just put the egg shells in the blender... I rinse the eggs, they put them in the oven a bit to dry them, then on to the blender.... nice powder
I raise chickens so eggs are a perfect fit for me 🥚
Great video...thanks for the info
@Jimmy Bushrow Your Welcome, Thanks for Watching!

How much powdered calcium per gallon?
Nice. Thanks

Extremely useful
Some great ideas did wonder if snail shells are any good for this
I put the powdered eggshells in the filter box so it's not visible in the eyes
That’s a great idea when using a HOB or Canister Filter forsure! I’ll be doing that if I ever switch from the sponges I run.
Aragonite sand (crushed coral) works well too
Do you cook the eggs first or just use the shell fresh?
thank you!
Your Welcome!👍
Do you reckon Reptile Calcium powder would be good enough? I've got plenty around from my lizards and am just getting into shrimp
That's a great question, now I'm wondering the same thing, because like you I too have it for my lizards. :)
Yes you can use it I just recommend shaking it in a water bottle with a little treated water before pouring it in. Because if you put it in straight it will have a lot of dust floating on top.
How often should I add calcium?
Do I need to get the calcium 600 mg and crushed it up in to powder with eggshells and cuttlebone?
Awesome 😁👍
video go brrrrrrr, but thank you for the advice!
😂
Hello frends❤️♥️💚🧡💛
Like 7👍👍🔔🔔🔔
Video super
Karina. K.A. Thanks so much!👍
What about calcium powder? Also on amazon
Will adding a lot of crushed egg shells have any negetive effect on fish and shrimp?
Yes the biggest risk is sudden swings in water quality. That's why it's best to leave a piece of dried eggshell in the aquarium or a pinch of powdered egg shells
Thanks for the tips ! Does it raise Ph ?
Nope, hasn’t affected my pH at all👍
If its a big tank like a 75 how much would you add ?
how much per shrimps would you add ?
Is food grade gypsum ok?
I have a question please: baby snails and shrimp can co-exist right?
Yes
What's about the other ingredients on this calcium tablets? Can't rhey be toxic for shrimp?
Help friend , can I use the calcium tablets for Cardina shrimp , will it chance the ph on the tank ?
I have not used it with cardina shrimp before. I’m sure a little won’t hurt to help supplement them but I would test the pH before and after just so you know what’s going on. Caridina shrimp can be very very sensitive!
TheShrimpScene thank you my friend
Your very welcome!👍
do you rinse the eggshell first?
why does my egg shell make the tank cloudy! ?
Do these work for snails?
Yup!👍 they work great for snails too!
Thx
You’re welcome!!👍
Can you do the same with snails?
I wonder if he knew he had a clutch of snail egg on the wall of his tank
Does it work for crabs?
I can't find calcium supplements without D3...
thank you!
