I really enjoy the videos you've created. BTW, I'm from Sri Lanka. We have the aquascaping culture poping up. But we don't have quality equipments like you use. I was thinking to start a bussiness so our scapers can get good stuff. Would you like to help me on this?
4 years ago, I fall in love with aquascaping and start to make one, starting with cherry shrimp and it looks so cute, now in 2021 I'm a shrimp hobbyist 🤣
Pro tips: Caridina shrimp HATE sudden change in water parameter, if you can don't add fertilizer, or add it slowly just like how you drip acclimate the shrimp, my worse experience is me stopping the co2 injection, and the effect is dissolved oxygen decrease (because plant suffering from not enough co2 = no photosytesis) and almost all of my Pure Red Line shrimp died in the aquascape x shrimp tank
Shrimps and planted tanks are so good together !! The best part is that they can come both cheap and expensive and also breed like crazy!! Last year I started a planted tank low tech with literally 3 shrimps in a 7 gallon ! 1 tiny male one mature female and another mature male . The tiny male died in one week and I was slightly worried . Then one week later my female had eggs . 20 days later the eggs hatched but obviously I couldn't find any baby shrimp but one morning I took a flashlight and directed it under the sponge filter and voilla ! One baby shrimp, it was probably 3 days old and that day I watched the tank for atleast 6 hours to find some more baby shrimp . I had 2 guppies in there , got them replaced with some ember tetras just in case those guppies got to the shrimps . Today I have over a 80 cherry shrimps !! It was a beautiful experience and now I am gonna try out the dream blues or blacks. The exotic shrimps are so damn beautiful . Can't wait for them to pop with the red plants in the background !! Also it would be cool if you could get some eggs on those shrimps , if it happens please share it on a vid !
Hello there ! Those are beautiful. I keep caridina shrimps and planted aquariums. But separate tanks. I have tried to keep my shrimps in planted aquarium but they died after a few days. Ferts and CO2 changed the parameters too much I guess. May I know if you add liquid ferts and heavy CO2 ? If yes, how much? 🤗
@@MJAquascaping It was very long ago. So I am kinda over it. I gave up shrimps in planted aquarium. Shrimps in breeding tank with sponge filter now. Anyways, watch out on the liquid ferts. CO2 affects PH too. All the best! Love your videos!
I wonder how you can get so nice tanks with just tap water. When I tried to use tap water my plants grew poorly and I had algae issues. Is your tap water soft? Do you know the water parameters?
Consider yourself very lucky. I run all three of my tanks on RO, due to my tap coming out off the chart basic. I also have never seen an ro filter like the one you had... I buy all my RO from my LFS.
I have always had turtles. But am looking to try more...i have had a royal clown knife, alligator gar, albino plecos, electric blue lobsters...anyway looking for plants now
Love these videos! If you don't mind me asking, how long can tanks like these be left alone? Like, can you go on a two week vacation and forget about it, or are they screwed if you're gone for like a weekend?
Hello MJ, do you use any liquid fertilization for this "RED" tank ? I guess when you starve the plants of nutrients they start turning more red ( sign of stress )
Bacopa that u have in red plants only tank its not a Bacopa from the picture. U have normal / regular variant which will turn a little but violet / purple but mostly is green. If you are looking for a Bacopa Salzmanii Singapore variant which is violet from the bottom to the top, hit me on FB prive.
Maybe everytime U want to add liquid fertilizer into your tank , U should take away your shrimps and put them into a separate tank until two days later wait for the plants to absorb those liquid fert first
My advice as a breeder of caridina species is to limit water changes for them to thrive but be careful with sudden changes for plants to they might melt
When I watched this video I had dejavu :-) I think I already saw it somewhere. Sadly these high grade caridina won't survive for very long in such a tank with CO2 and fertilizers. I can see you are very good with aquascaping and I always enjoy your content, but you still need to learn a little bit more about shrimp before jumping into high end cards.
Definitely agree, if you want to keep any caridina and have a successful breeding colony ditch the CO2 and fertilizer. Caridina need stable ph and water parameters. Lots of biofilm and algae Wich is not compatible with a high tech tank. If they make it you should set for them a proper tank with easy plant and moss that don't require any CO2 or fertilizer.
Keep AN close Eye on your PH Shrimp dont like PH change. Your soil was on Tapwater and Now RO that Will not last long, the buffer is filled with KH already. Forget the heater Shrimps dont need a heater 20 celcius is fine.
@@MJAquascaping Hi MJ, l left a comment before but about was taken down by youtube l was not promoting these companies in previous comment that i left, l have in hobby since i was 12 years old, i did not think 25 years later that i would be still in the hobby. When l moved to lreland last year due to work, l found lreland harder to get products like back home. l found company olibetta that does deliver all over Europe, they do usual special offer Black Friday etc, l also found masterfisch in Germany that delivers around Europe for all sorts of fish. l only buy from them because they give free delivery after certain amount. I love Dennerle plants, but i also found a great company Aquafleur from Netherlands that does really hard to find varieties of Echinodorus plants, maybe this one would be difficult to review, if you are being sponsored. l have total respect for you, in terms of you're strong attention to detail in what you do. l have subscribed to you to few month's ago, but you're channel and few others other have disappeared from my list. l wish all the best.

Just so you know I've followed almost all your equipment choices 😂 I'm using the neo flow input and output with the reliever and also the neo flow diffuser. Except I've placed my diffuser in the middle of the back pane, and point my output towards it, so the co2 bubbles are distributed throughout the tank. My aquarium looks great btw. I'm struggling with some hair algae, but pretty sure I'll have it under control soon. Love your vids, appreciate the advice. 🙏🏼
@@MJAquascaping I've been using it straight from the gutter and it seems fine but extra safety is great too. Great idea and amazing shrimps too. They will surely enjoy their new home!
And I was doing the drip method to aclomate my fish without knowing of it... (Only think: I used on of the cheep vavles to be able to easily manage the flow rate) Nice shrimp, another good video! Thank you
Yeah of course! The brand is söchting oxydator. I don't know where you are located and if you can buy them in your area, but just google it and hopefully you can find it. I think it's basically a vial that's filled with hydrogen peroxide which gets released really slowly, and when it comes in contact with water it turns into oxygen.
Thank you very much, I found it. I live a HK where space is very expensive. I can only have a 40cm tank in my office. I have a very heavily planted tank, and I have trouble adding more fish to the tank, which I believe is becuase of oxygen deficiency. I need to have 24hr air pump turned on for aeration. I wish to try your oxydator and see if it can help.
I love shrimp. I have neo caradina and caradina. My well water is 35 to 40 TDS at all times. I do not have to use RO water. I do use the salty shrimp. Great video 👍
Привет, у тебя на 35 стоят 2 WRGB II SLIM, одного не хватает? Тоже хочу купить 35 или 55, а по поводу 70, когда ротала до стрижки заполняла задний фон, очень круто выглядит, подожди пока опять подрастёт, может и не захочешь рескейпа, там не хватает какой нибудь, пары ярких рыб средних размеров, с интересным поведением, чтобы держались в среднем и нижнем слое, Рамерези бы подошли, но им нужна температура 26-28, ещё вариант поменять задний фон на чёрный, мне кажется более контраст в красках будет, а так крутой скейп получился, жалко камера не передаёт ощущения глубины аквариума.

how come hra hasnt turned red despite having high lights?

2 weeks is okay, but any longer than that and you gonna need someone to feed your fish/shrimp.
@@MJAquascaping Thanks! That makes it a lot more appealing, think I might get a small one and start playing around with it.
Thanks for sharing..i love the team (Red). Plant......
The first time i see how shrime is add to tank. Propession🙏
Misschien handig om een “panty” over de intake te doen zodat de baby garnaaltjes erin komen. En moet je niet een pH verlagende bodem gebruiken?
Niet erin komen*
Very nice. How long did it take for the package to arrive? I would have been crazy waiting. 🏄🏼♂️

do uk any sites that ships livestock worlwide?liketo malaysia
Hello MJ, do you use any liquid fertilization for this "RED" tank ? I guess when you starve the plants of nutrients they start turning more red ( sign of stress )

29EUR for 1 shrimp???

Amber tetra
i don,t see any male shrimp?
I hope I have some males 😂
on the website it says 10+1 shrimp but u only got 10? scam! :O
They look amazing but in my experience, Caridina aren't all that hardy unless its crystals. The CO2 is not going to please them
Dont Do big water change and the New water drip it and be carefull whit fert
Thanks for the advice! 🙏

Looks pretty “stunning” right now.
My advice as a breeder of caridina species is to limit water changes for them to thrive but be careful with sudden changes for plants to they might melt
Thanks for the advice! How often would you suggest to do a waterchange?
300 euros for 10 shrimps?! If I were you, I would freak out every time I do not see all of them right in front of me... :D

I would probably have a heart attack.

How did you make the dripper? Specifically the end that actually drips where did you get a suction cup like that
The suction cup came with an Aquario diffuser! Besides that it was just airline tubing, a non return valve (unnecessary) and a glass U bend.
