- Today I wanted to talk about some myths that are in the freshwater shrimp hobby. Let's focus today on the following questions that I get frequently:
1. Does high light from planted tanks kill shrimp?
2. Do shrimp need specialty shrimp food?
3. Do need pristine water and are they really that sensitive?
4. Do shrimp crawl out of aquarium?
5. Do shrimp need warm water?
Drop a comment down bellow if you have questions that you want answered in a future video. Have a safe night and keep it shrimple!

I had an Amano crawl out of its tank, across my bedroom floor, down the hallway, through my dinning room and into the living room.
Mine started watching tv while I was sleeping.
Mine's in Barbados rn.
Lol
Man that's cool I came home to my crystal shrimp banging my wife

Advice : always put shrimp back into the tank if they've crawled out, they may look dry, dead and motionless but they somehow unstick their legs and recover they can be dry for hours and motionless before they die!!
Wow, just wow. For all you know, it could have been severely depressed living in a tank, perhaps even bullied by racist shrimps, they could’ve been calling her Sharon because it doesn’t wear a mask, and it’s just want to go to shrimp heaven. It could be as romantic as a long journey to get to his or her soulmate in another tank, or maybe you were supposed to flush it down the toilet because it’s trying to find Nemo, but NOOOO...
You chose to throw it back to the hell it just crawled out of and with the audacity to advice the world about it.
You're probably thinking you’re a hero that saved its life, and never crossed your mind what the shrimp really want.
"always put shrimp back into the tank if they've crawled out"
Do you see what an asshole you’re?
hobbyists "shrimp die immediately when they go straight from a water to different water without aqlamatin. shrimp "i think i´ll just divebomb into that tank down there. watch me do it"
Shrimp sometimes get spooked and that makes them jump. They tend to be pretty good about not jumping out of the tank, but occasionally they will just jump out to their deaths. Amano shimp are the ones that are really good at "crawling out" not "jumping" out. Unlike most other shrimp these guys have strong legs that can support their weight pretty well. They are well known as escape artists. They do this because they move between pools of water in their natural habitat.
ikr. theres not a shred of proof neos crawl outside of water.
hehe, that's explain how Amano shrimps get to salty water to breed
When I had a hunk of moss floating in my aquarium, somehow a cherry had crawled with partial buoyancy to the middle of it and I guess the water level dropped and the moss rose up and the shrimp was stranded.
Luckily I came and checked on the tank and saved him lol
Galaxy shrimp crawl out too. Just like amanos. But yea those are not neos ofc
I just got my first cherry shrimps a week ago and found your channel today, and it's AMAZING! Thank you :D
Well said. Shrimp can tolerate some cold weather not for long periods. I have seen my fire reds crawling under ice in tank that was on my deck last year. Will be looking forward to the next myth video.
I came home to a package in late december in new england that said live animals on my front step. sure enough it was my shrimp order and i was pretty sure they were all dead aftering opening the box. thanks ups. went to look into the return process and go to take a picture of the shrimp when i notice one is moving. so i give the bag another 20 mins and a few more are up and going. after an hour all the shrimp were fully alert or mostly there. its crazy what these little guys can endure.
Conclusion : 12:24
you just saved me 12 minutes of nonsense blabbering.
you are a gem, thank you
this was nice but still watched it after , love this dude always helps me out so i gotta do my part as well
i'm getting a ghost shrimp today. Thanks for this helpful video.
got some Amano shrimp last night found one in my bathroom this morning it's like 30ft from the tank through him back in the tank and he is fine lol. great video thanks
ive found a few amanos that have wandered across my room its nuts
I dropped one in the garbage when I was doing a water change, it fell on a spoon that had chocolate pudding on it after several minutes of searching. It's still alive 18 months later
Same thing here. Came in one morning and found an amano chillin on the lid
Same here. The little 'pole jumper' are unbelievable at how they jump out of the tank at night but not during the day. I found a few on the floor in the morning as stiff as freeze-dried food. My tanks are covered at night and open during the day. They can't be covered 24 hours because water has to 'breathe' or else it starts to 'sweat' and 'raindrops' form under the lids and becoming like the powdery stuff found in underground caves that drops down, I forgot the name.

Thank you SO much for addressing whether or not shrimp crawl out of tanks! I'm going to fit a sponge to the feeding opening on my tank lid right now. I received my first shrimp ever today and want to make sure they get a good start. :)
My wife and I purchased a couple ghost shrimp just because the algae has been getting so bad and i was wondering about the cold factor. So i googled it and you're video was the first thing that popped up. My wife and i just finished your video and we Thoroughly enjoyed the input with a few laughs. Definitely subscribing!!!
I keep my shrimp and most of my fish at room temps between 68 and 75 year round. I have had no issues with this. Thanks for doing this. I haven't had issues with shrimp crawling out, but my tanks are covered. My amanos get excited when I open the lids, they love to jump and crawl everywhere including out of tanks. I have had a few jump out of nets when transferring them into tanks. Gotta watch out for that with any shrimp species.
Thank you for the video, awesome, I like this new section you have created. Love from UK.
Every Sunday I wake to watch your video. (Thursday as well)
Great video again man!
I love your videos, I learn so much!
Wow! Two shrimps out of the tank!
*Thumbs up!*
you seem like a genuinely good guy. Nice vids
Thanks for your comments and also my first shrimp order from you was terrific.....
just got my first 5 cherry shrimp!!!!!! thanks for all the useful info!!!
thanks alot lup. i am new to the shrimp. have helped me in the right direction with this video. looking forward to the next video.
Love all the info. keep it coming
Thank you for this.
I love the Fluval Bluetooth light bars but didn't know whether it was worth the money to do this to my tiny 5 gal where they currently live. Was afraid it would be too much light for such a tiny tank.
But now I know it'll be okay. I can always just dim it or turn it off for more hours per day if necessary.
Thank you ❤
Loved this! More please!
good video. good to get info from someone who obviously knows what he's doing. I got a feeling I know what you're going to say in the next video about water changes. Let's just say after I stopped doing water changes my TDS when way up but my cherry shrimp stopped dying and actually started breeding like crazy.
Shrimp claws are very fine and can grab airlines or any hoses coming out of the tank. i had this issue with Crawfish so i ran the lines through a hole drilled through the plastic tank lid. great video
Great Video! Looking forward to the assassin snails question as well as the Anubias question, as a few of the breeders here have different opinions on that..
Fascinating bro,I never knew that shrimp could leave their aquarium and 64°F is warm by U.K. standards,I've had my unheated goldfish aquarium down to 48°F in the winter!,goldfish are possibly the dirtiest fish going but like you said,they are cool!👍✌
Great video explained wonderfully keep up the good work.
oh wow sorry for your tiger losses ,,i'm so glad i watched this so now mine have a tight lid,,,thank you.x,,(im newbie shrimper)
Your goldfish moment slayed me! (And, yeah, you're right)
Interesting thing about the shrimp jumping. On an unrelated note, I love how much you take care of your Fingernails.
thank you man, you have so much positive , love you
some time of the year my tank have some direct sunlight, and my shrimp love it ,
and my shrimp enjoy fresh fruits too, when ever i eat i will cut a slice for them.
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
New sub!!! Great video !!
Love this item! 👍🏻
I'm actually freaking out that they can climb out of the tank now, I didn't know it was possible what can I do to stop them?
Violent Rainbow use mesh to wrap over the tank instead of lid with a gap ;)
I've never seen shrimp crawl out of tanks, but ive seen a ghost shrimp jump 3inches out of my covered tank.
They leap
Great job!
they dont crowl out of it... they are jumping! sometimes they are very fast under water and also under the surface - if they are jumping out of it, they are glued with water under the glas + by crowling they moving around and maybe at an edge, on it... since i removed the glas from my 60L dennerle cube i've never had a dead shrimp glued on it (sorry for my english)
Thanks this was so helpful 👍🏾
Keeping cherry shrimp for me has been hell to the point I bought them a separate tank. My CRS on the other hand are super hardy little guys and nothing has fazed em
My Amano shrimp would jump around when cleaning the tank, so now I don't ever clean it, and they, the snails and plants keep it clean, I just add purified water, and feed them. My Amano shrimps are now going to be 4 years old, and they act like little puppy dogs, and come running when they see me opening the tank. Janet likes to hold on to my finger when she gets her food, where as Larry prefers to grab the food and run, they are very entertaining!
Hello since you mix different shrimps in the same tank are you worry if they will have unusual color offspring? Thanks I'm new to this.
I thought Christopher Walken had joined you @6:06, the way you said "how" sounded exactly like him, lol.
I am so glad I saw this video because I have been having issues with shrimp food , I got that Hikari shrimp diet but... the thing that bothered me was it has trace amounts of copper and i did have some of them die feeding them that food... they seem to like the fish flakes over even the alge wafers i put in there but others seemed super picky and wouldn't eat anything i put in there. I would give them blood worms but they seem to be fussy about rather they eat them or not where as others go to town on them. I have large drift wood in there now with plenty of bio film growing and Alge now but still not sure exactly what to feed these guys. I have the Neo Cardina and sadly some of the ones I got from this guy and all of them died except for one super orange one i named Bertha and shes still living strong. I stick with the Neo Cardia but have just gotten some more that will be going into the 55 Gallon soon.
I am surprised about shrimp crawling out of an aquarium
ya me too, i got hundreads of shrimps in tanks without any cover, and it never happened !
This is true. I had one to crawl out of it's tank and when to McDonalds to get some fries and a burger. I smelled the fries whenever it tried to sneak back into the tank😂
Pretty sure only certain types, I don’t think neocaradina can support their body weight out of water.
I think it’s most likely that they shoot out of the water with their tail.
Question about co2 or liquid organic co2 and, fertilizer for plants. I have heard both sides, whats your take.
ive seen shrimp eat literally any food which goes to the bottom of the tank
My shrimp ate another shrimp that had died
@@mom7275 if the shrimp that was dead died from a disease then the shrimp who ate has the disease also
I like your point of view.
Awesome video
I had a cherry shrimp crawl out of the tank. Down the hall. Into the kitchen. Open the fridge and help its self to a beer.
hey, great vid. I have a question for you: I'm setting up a 20g tall shrimp tank, what would be the appropriate amount of substrate to use in your experience. it's recomended that I use 40lbs, but I wanted to see if I could use 20lbs of eco complete, or is that too little substrate.
Amano shrimp can climb powercords and airline hoses with mineral build-up. They all can jump out of water. They can jump over 3" for small shrimp and about 12" for larger species.
Aw man, have a good idea of where my one of 2 red shrimp went.. if they aren't in the filter when I clean that out x.x Time to secure that tank more XD
this is a great video
One of my shrimps crawled or jumped out of a tank while i was cleaning it. 2 hours later, after i thought it would be naturally‘very dead’, i looked at the shrimp (I’d put into an empty jar) to express sadness, and noticed a leg move. I thought it was due to my movement. But, I put the shrimp back in the tank (i didnt know why at the time, if dead). She instantly swam, like a shrimp on speed. Within half an hour, she was flipping out baby shrimps. I was freaked out to say the least!
When you top up your crs tanks with distilled water do you add anything like a gh increaser or anything to remineralize?
My LFS told me that I can’t keep cherry shrimp in treated tap water and that I need to use RO water. He said they would all die if I tried it so I have been hesitant on trying them out
thx Lup!
hey dude, awesome channel, you got me interested in shrimp but can they be successfully be kept with Australian rainbows or praecox rainbows along with some small tetras. I don't want the shrimp to just live...I want them to thrive.
I have my shrimp in with guppy fry and when I feed the baby fish flake food, I always see the shrimp go for the flake. So yes, I've seen them eat flake food.
that taiwan bee tank looks gorgeous
I was kayaking in a mangrove estuary once and the shrimp were jumping in my boat!
Ive got a tank with a lot of pennywort in it, there's a fluval 3.0 plant light over the tank and the shrimp seem to like sitting under the light actually, so they'll literally be 4 inches from that light sometimes. I would imagine if it was harmful for them or they didn't like it they'd go down to one of the shaded cave like areas I've made for them, or even just the substrate in general.
I noticed your overflows at 8:16. I've used the type that top skims (one more tube going back up in the tank) and would occasionally get air pockets that would stop the flow back down to the sump. Very bad for the carpet lol Do you ever have that issue with doing it this way?
Well i got well established tank with cherry shrimp in it about 2 month. Today I just change from 10W white to 23W RGB high tech lighting. And configuring diff lighting color and off and on. I think i kinda stress them out with sudden changes and they behave weirdly keep sprint around and then drop to bottom tank and repeat. And sadly one smaller shrimp dead. Would it be the new lighting shocked it to dead?
Good video
hey this was help full....i did my first tank...(glofish) and im hookes ...im looking for a bigger tank to move them glofish and the old 10g tank i want to do live plants and mixed shrimps.....hi from Puerto Rico
I have a heavily planted aquarium and buying Rili Shrimp. Where I live, Amanos are illegal (I’m in Australia). Are there other beautiful shrimp which can live with Rili shrimp without causing brown offspring and requiring the same water perimeters?
I think the water may be too high. I've noticed with my shrimp they jump out If the water is high. My pregnant shrimp did this last night as a matter of fact. luckily I found her in the next tank over. I was so worried because I know once they jump out they will die, even if u see it happen and get em back to the water asap.
Hello, why some of my cherry shrimps sometimes die after molting and sometimes while molting? Is that normal? I have a GH of 9, a KH of 8, nitrite 0, nitrate 2, and a PH of 7.5
what are those little white dots/small circles sticking to the glass in the 2:00 minute mark? are they safe for the shrimps?
I've never had any shrimp crawl out of my tank, but then again this tank has a lip on the inside edge that would require shrimp to scale ceilings. I wonder if that is ever a factor. Because I've noticed your tanks do not have a lip on the edge.
Do you ever plan on selling some rabbit snails on your website? My lfs had a couples orange ones that I bought but they apparently are no longer going to carry them because of a lack of demand.
seachem flourish killed more than half of my shrimp, no doubt about it, the forums were right on that one.
Are ghost shrimp hard to breed?, that's all that is offered in my area.. 1st time shrimper here. What id "RO/DI water? I got some beach sand from Lake Eric, baked it on med/low for 3 hrs, they are doing fine in it, but is there another substrate I need to be using? How can I tell male from female?
I'm planning a small tank that will involve one shrimp, and some small fish, I'm wondering if the waste produced by the fish (5 small bois) is enough for the shrimp. There's will be a moss ball and one or two small plants. Does it sound like enough? How do I know if they are going hungry?
what plants do you think i should put in my fish tank?
I leave my light on 12 hours a day no hiding places I've got lots of plants and 2 pieces of wood but my light is quite dim it's not very good is this ok
what are the most colorful easiest to keep shrimp?
can I put the following fish with cherry shrimp:
five stripe barb
and
otocinclus
or
ember tetra
and
otocinclus
it is a 15 gallon heavy planted with lots of hiding spaces, medium light and medium flow
Asian Arowana I have cherry shrimp & blue sapphire shrimp with harlequin rasboras and red eye tetras. I find most small schooling fish tend to be okay with little shrimp. Especially the different tetra varieties.
Much love
Hi, I have a question. I have a tank with RCS, what other species can I keep with them which share roughly the same parameters but wont interbreed? Thanks
In terms of other shrimps, you will have to keep them with Caridina and/or Amano shrimp. RCS are neocaridina and will crossbreed with other Neocaridina of any colour and their offspring will mostly be a brown or undesirable colour. Meanwhile mixing different types of Caridina can result in strange patterns so some people do mix them but very rarely do people mix neocaridina with other neocaridina.
Discussing controversial myths in the shrimp hobby... lol +1 like
If I use a mattenfilter and have no hud, how will I keep the shrimp in a 10 gal without them jumping out? The mattenfilter is higher than the tank, so a hud wouldn't fit.
shrimps probably can crawl out of rimless tanks. maybe traditional braced aquariums w/ lids and "overhangs" would discourage them to crawl out because they'd need to be extra dexterous to do so
Do you have any special shrimps like the Golden Boa's?
I also want to say, that shrimps get out of the tanks because they dont like it or something is wrong with the water. If you see a shrimp ''dead'' laying outside, try to put it back into the water. Once a shrimp jumped out of the net and after a few hours i found it on my desk dried out, after I put it back into the water and after a few minutes it was still alive and moving.
Side note: If your water parameters are good for the shrimp you’re keeping and they can readily find food, they will more than likely not give you problems about climbing out. As far as shrimp needing warm water, absolutely not! I experimented with this and successfully kept shrimp in water for extended periods of time as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit, just don’t expect them to breed in these kind of temps. I keep my colony tanks around 68* F - 72* F and they breed regularly and do extremely well.
Loved it! Are you at all interested in Opal Ula, the red Hawaiian shrimp?
Thomas Krafft of course! I'd love to at some point. just haven't come across them yet
I got mine from the only source I felt I could trust--that is petshrimp.com. They are really tiny and more of a novelty for me. The real guys are from you! Thanks for replying!
you answered the highlight myth for me but what about pressurised CO2 in a planted tank for shrimp
mine will occasionally jump. But I've never seen one actually crawl out of the tank
I agree with you about high light. BUT how about cold light? I mean high kelvin or even blue light? I don't think it kills shrimp but do they thrive with cold light?
I've got a huge problem! I have leeches in my shrimp tank, but the only recommend way to get rid of them is with poison that will also kill the shrimp. I've tried the shrimp safe planaria killer, but leaches still live. Any suggestions?
You’re so good looking hahaha btw nice infos
Can i feed my zebra and betta with shrimp food or vice versa?
I dont think shrimps can crawl out of tanks, i think most of them jump out of panic or whatever reason, but it surely is accidental.
do neo caridina shrimp breed in warm water??philippines is tropical country....room temp is 30 to 35℃....
Does shrimp breed to the other colored shrimp?
Using UFG makes water lower in pH?
I’ve seen my ghost shrimp jump close to the surface sometimes, when they jump out there still very wet and it kind of sticks to things, so that shrimp probably jumped out and his wet body got stuck to the surface of the tank
