The fact dawn is so safe that you can use it to make a breeding tank, yet strong enough to also remove loads of oil, may justify its price tag now
Dude, it really is the most price effective. I got a lotion/soap pump thing and one or two pumps cleans a sink load of dishes. I used to go through SO MUCH dish soap before biting the bullet and getting Dawn, and now, one small bottle lasts a month or more easy.
dawn isnt safer than any other soap honestly, he just rinses it out well enough that theres no residue. This is a big thing in gardening where people make dawn dish soap pesticides that are 'safe and nontoxic", but at the end of the day, its phytotoxic like every other soap on plants, and toxic to ingest for animals and insects. marketing gimmick wins again
RO/DI units will definitely take care of any chlorine in your tap, no need to use a de-chlorinator. Using a de-chlorinator will have no adverse effects so continue if you want, but for some reason people seem to think that RO/DI units don't remove chlorine.
I know reverse osmosis but could you remind me what DI is?
@@cocolocobirb981 deionization
@@isopodmike2204 thnks
I address this in my video today. The reason I dechlorinate is that I use an RO Buddie, it reduces the chlorine to not damage the membrane in the unit but does not remove chloramine as it requires an additional filter cartridge. So I dechlorinate to specifically remove the chloramine.
@@christopher_scott that's not a true ro system then because when a ro system filters water there is literally nothing left but hydrogen and oxygen you actually have to add minerals to it to use it.
Hey, nice video. Im breeding shrimp for over 8 years and if you don’t mind I’d like to give you a few tips.
Neocaridina shrimps don’t require active substrate and they can thrive in high ph. In fact they wont be doing well in lower ph water don’t mistake them with caridina shrimp who need lower ph. You can’t keep them in pure RoDi water you have to remineralise it with special salts for neocaridina shrimp, one of the famous brand is salty shrimp just google it. Rodi filter will remove chlorine. Everything else is great 😊
Can I use no substrate then?
@@cuaziboyes tons of videos out there of people breeding with just a bare bottom just means you’ll need plants that don’t need it if you use plants.
Thank you for the tip about the substrate, I’ve been trying to keep ghost shrimp for quite some time now, just having recently realize how important Ph is to the shrimp.
Yeah mate. I can keep shrimpn in my normal local tap water but the water is not the right ph for them to breed. If use loads of aqua soil and catappa leaves in a small tank then they breed
you should throw in a piece of cholla wood in each tank too!
Gives them hiding spots, and is awesome for growing biofilm!
I have some on order!
@@christopher_scott nice! 👍
I got a couple from the pet store and I kept them in a tank with my red claw crab and months later I noticed they multiplied !! Never thought I would see so many TINYY baby shrimp and I felt like they were each my baby🥹🥹
The carbon filter in your RO/DI system will remove the chlorine and chloramines before the it hits the membrane part. It's sediments, carbon, membrane, and then your 2 kinds of DI resin, sometimes they're mixed, but if separated you can recharge the resin media by washing the resin with acid or alkaline depending on which.
But basically, you don't need a dechlorinator or heavy metal remover, and dechlorinators actually have been shown to reduce hatching rates with fish and shrimps, they make the shell too thick or something, so I would recommend against it personally.
Bred and kept reg ghost shrimp and I absolutely loved them!
Definitely subscribing so when I get home from deployment I can start my hobby back up again!
man I just love your content, really informative
I have a "skittles" tank of various cull shrimp and my favorite color has to be orange rili or the blue body red rili. They both show up really well in the tank. But they are all cute and even the wild color have their appeal.
Did you remineralize the rodi water?
Very nice techenic ur srimp breeding.
Blue dreams breed like crazy so thousands might be possible
I wanted to make a Joke that included the word's "breeding" and "your mom" but then I saw there were just 98 comments and you probably see this comment and I don't want you to feel bad because this is a great video
I have some black and blue rili shrimp that have been laying eggs recently, once they're settled in you'll have a nearly infinite number of shrimp
Great starting colonies! About 20 is always the best to get started, especially when purchasing Juveniles as you may not know the sex
@More Grey search online, how to identify neocaridina female. There is a place on the hump of their back where you can see the eggs under the shell (called a saddle).
Once the female molts (and is of age), she will move the eggs under her tail.
If you have 1 female and 2 males, that would work great. If they aren't old enough yet, but are the right sex, they will breed eventually
@More Grey just wait a little longer. Hopefully your female develops through. If not, try and purchase a mature female from another hobbyist
good stuff ,you got me as a subscriber
I suggest you feed the shrimp colored food that is the same as it's color since sometimes shrimps may have a color change depending on their food. Of course, the color change won't be significant like they all become brown or green from eating fish food or algae however their colors may become less vibrant or hued.
How do yiu suggest doing that?
@@dannyboy1561 paprika for red, spirulina for green and blue, yellow paprika for yellow?
I have had Nero carijuanas for years , and i have feed them many different foods. The only effect in their color was the price on the food .
I've never seen blue shrimp so dang blue!!!! Usually they're like faded out! You got some gorgeous shrimp!😜
Where is the next video with the result??
Please add link here:
I wouldn't suggest using slow growing plants as they really don't add that much biofilm or remove nutrients. The moss, floaters, and hornwort are perfect for the job. Lastly, it's easier to remove the plants when catching all the shrimp with rootless plants 😉
Just keep in mind there is a balance between biofilm growing and the nutrients that fast growing plants use.
It would be cool if you sold some of your guppy’s and other stuff that you breed on your website.
Where are the baby catfish, are they okay?
I started with 6 shrimp 6 months ago and now I have about 50 in my tank and it seems like more show up daily. I was just thinking I need to start giving these guys away locally its crazy how fast they breed.
Nice little setup, my shrimp never seem to breed, i’m wondering if the rice fish in with them are eating the babies… thinking of setting up a separate tank, see if I can get them breeding!!! 🌿🐟🌿✌️
If you have fish in with them 100% they are eating the babies if there are any.
What kind of RO/DI system doesn't remove the chlorine? As far as i know, chlorine never even reaches the RO membrane because it can damage it and is instead removed by the carbon pre-filters. I have even tested this by doing CL tests of the water coming after the prefilters and before the RO membrane.
There's quite a bit of info in here that's... Questionable. He says he has high pH so he uses stratum, but RODI water has low pH. He doesn't mention remineralizing the RODI water, which is necessary for shrimp, fish, and plants. And of course what you mentioned about the chlorine.
@More Grey absolutely, not to say ro doesn't help make things ideal, but you are absolutely correct that most tap water sources are perfectly fine. My Cherries breed like crazy and I have quite hard water.
How do you keep them from jumping out I'm starting to breed shrimp and I worry they will jump out it hasn't happened yet but I wanna prevent it from happening
You gained a new fan here. Watching your videos with these kitty pools gives me new great and cheap ideas I can make for my house! Keep up the good work man subscribed!
Driftwood is great if you want biofilm, I would also recommend a planted green because the shrimp can eat dead prices of plants
Chris the cherry shrimp aren’t active I’ve been breeding them for awhile every once in a while you’ll get a few with a lot of energy but they are more timid I keep them in a 50 with neon tetras edit: I feed them color enhancing flakes or sinking catfish pellets
I had a previously unknow ghost shrimp in my tank with about 6 Cherry Shrimp - they of course bred - the babies are just to cool. Some are transparent with red ribs, like candy canes. Turned out well.
Are you certain that not low grade cherry?
Shrimps need minerals, you can't add shrimp in pure RO water, it's not gonna be long before they die due to failed molt. You need to get a GH and KH remineralizer ie salty shrimp GH/KH+. Also the problem with using active substrate it's gonna remove KH, active substrate should be used only to keep caridinas.
I use dead coral that my brother in law gives me
Possibly a stupid question but i gotta ask anyway.. what happens if you breed 2 different color shrimps together?
I love the colorful shrimp. I especially love the blue shrimp; it’s crazy how vibrant they are!
i have some ghost shrimp and electric blue shrimp and 1 red and white in my community tank I also have fluval substrate they are amazing they love my plants and eat all the tablets I put in for my corys but they haven’t bred I had got ghost shrimp and she had babies and they got eaten
also if u read this I would like to order some plants from u but could u please throw in some frogbit lmao I live in ca I want it
where do you get your shrimp from?
Dude your temp recommendation is so wrong. 72 is ideal temp. Higher temps will 1 shorten their lives, and 2 risk bacteria infections.
hey guys we tried to breed betta for many times but ended up not having even eggs. We prrpared the bettas by feeding them magna and mosquito larvae. Their water before was stock water (3days) and change water 3 days. But then theyre getting sick so we decided to use mineral water. Please i need advice
You dont use RO water or buffering soil for neos only for caradina
They help a lot for both.
@@somerandombug69isbusy20 lol
your content is pretty entertaining, but the constant ads for your website really turn me off from ever getting anything from your site.
one mention early, and one at the end roll would be acceptable, but like 5 per video is excessive.
Keep the temps lower. They are a cooler water shrimp. I recommend between 70-74 degrees Fahrenheit. Warmer temps will shorten thier lifespan.
So true. The recommendation in this video is the best way to kill a colony of shrimp with bacteria infections. Colder is always better with shrimp.
Can you do a little bit of a request here long ago I had a crawfish a light blue one day I just murdered one of my fish which they do try and get some crazy colorful crawfish to breed
DId you mix yelow and blue?what is the result? Do you hane domen Photoshop?great video
bro, can you add Indonesian subtitles so we can understand more, because your video is very useful 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Aquarium keeping 101, NEVER, EVER use soap of any kind
I have used blue dawn to clean plastic a thousand times with zero issue.I promise that the oil on the plastic is much worse
This song and voice song familiar. You have another channel don't you?
What type of heater was that??? Anybody know a multiple tank heater?
Thanks for the video...new sub
What a fun video💪🔥
I am pretty sure freshwaterscrub went out of business or sold their company.
Kids swimming pool is the way to go for fish pond. I use to think you have to pay people to come to your backyard build a pond smh
I saw reb blue and yellow in the thumbnail and thought this was pokemon related lol
i have problem with planaria whatever i do they still keep coming and take over my tank
Where can i buy this sponge at 05:50? I super need them as meausere like this? any link?
I've actually seen ghost shrimp at the beach
So you need a kitty pool to breed
Ghost shrimp
For i have reds blues blacks yellows
But i have trouble with ghost shrimp
I have em in 10 gallon
With guppys neons and Corys
I seems not to keep them long
So i try the kiddy pools
Now I could be wrong, but I think the most tricky to breed will be the blues. I've been told the Blues do better with an inert sand substrate over fluval stratum or other acidic substrates, also used to have a colony of blue velvet over sand worked well enough. Don't forget that their shells are calcium carbonate, and that they may need calcium supplements down the road especially if you end up with a large colony in a 10 gallon.
I catched one yesterday i didn't know it was shrimp
Cool fact the more active they seem in their enclosure the less happy they are shrimp tend to stick to the ground and cover grazing constantly, your blue shrimp seem to be protesting if they had cardboard and wood they would have little picket signs too. when they swim circles around a tank thats when you should worry.
Do those totes bulge a bit from the water weight? I'm wanting to start breeding with budget containers like this, but I REALLY want my setup to look rigid and clean. That might be a lot to ask from any aquarist lol
2:23 the carbon block in RODI systems removes chlorine. That's what carbon does; itemove chemicals from the water column.
I'm breeding guppies:)
Great video minus the multiple shameless plugs
Hi I do d I y set ups and I have some shrimp just some clear ones And I have only had them for one month and they have been breeding crazy love your videos!!!
Ive always wanted a Neocaridena shrimp tank but they are expensive. Ive tried to have a tank full of them but they ALWAYS die. One time i had enough and prepped the tank for a whole month before i even got them and they still died.
i just got some ghost shrimp, keeping them with marbled crayfish, the crayfish has cloned, and ive noticed 2 shrimpies with eggs, I do have masquito fish in the tank aswell, so i expect some losses. however ive yet to have a problem. i do plan on seperating the fish for breeding purposes. let me know if youd like a or some marbled crayfish, just pay shipping and i got you.
I am in Keiths trim or bloodstream for my favourite is the red
The Christmas tree Moss and the lily pads were all sold out
A question for you we have 3 fish tanks an old 85gal a 65 and like a 30. My question is with live plants we always have issues with the water snails and it always seems like no matter how hard we look over plants we end up with snails do you have any recommendations for best way to pick live plants without the snails. Not much of an issue in the 85gal since the 4-8 inch Oscar eats them if they get into the tank.
Please stop talking like that, basic tic toker tone
I have a red cherry farm and blackberry farm. They are fun to raise. My blackberry ones are taking a long time to breed. The red cherry are like rabbits. I have thousands now.
I plan on doing this too. I have cherries but have been looking at blue and yellow, too.
I had a ghost shrimp and it was a mafia themed tank so I had a black skirt tetra named Capone, and alge eater named Lenny Windex, and the shrimps names Bobby "the cleaner" Bad lol I loved that tank...
to breed caridina shrimp it was east u just need rock inside pond, let algae come for shrimp food. just it just need couple weeks it will be shrimp blooming
sorry from bad English, im from Indonesian and here caridina shrimp just 1$ for 4shrimp
I suggested ur website to a TH-camr that made a video of adding plants to his aquarium. Lol I just couldn't help myself and had to do it.
Neocaridina shrimp dont require low ph levels so active substrate if you dont even plant any carpet on it it is pountless and you might come at problems with breeding and deaths
Best substrate for neocaridina is neutral for instace JBL manado
That's a pretty cool DIY shrimp breeder tub I used to breed blue vlavit shrimp and they are going to breed like crazy like my guppies wount stop having babies I like all kinds of shrimp I think they are really cool
Hey chris, I am curious of how you are breeding the ghost shrimp? I know they need brackish water to breed and didn’t know if it was in the tub? Just curious. Very cool channel you have a new subscriber!
Awesome pets animals
I used leftover Amazonia substrate for my current work in progress shrimp tank. I'm on some awesome well water in the boonies. Do you have extra tips for managing pH naturally?
I've tried to keep ghost shrimp many times cause there cheap and they all just keep dying, gave up on them.
Only one question I had: won't that substrate release ammonia? Unless its stratum from an established tank
What's that plant on 11:45
Nvm u said a few seconds after
I'll be buying some of ur neocardina shrimp when u start selling them cause I need more :)
Anyone know what's safe to clean the tubs with first in the UK? We don't have blue Downey here.
its so cool I subbed and #notifaction squad
The plastic the storage bins are made of is not meant to be put outside exposed to the weather. I had some left outside, and they eventually crumble apart.
what would happen if you breed 1 yellow shrimp with 1 blue shrimp?
if only i had space in my apartment
how do you deal with evaporation? just good water changes?
Basicially this is like getting Shiny Pokemon but in real life
I run sponge filters on my shrimp tanks with UN Dirt
Have u bred wood shrimp be call if u could do a breeding setup
Rodi does remove chlorine.
I have orange sunkissed neos they seem a lot smaller than blue full grown
You should read axolotl‘s
Do u sell any crabs or shrimp I need some BAD PLEASE HELP
No mask? Im going to unsub
