I had an amusing conversation with the new girl at my local fish store. She was asking if i liked freshwater or saltwater. I told her i enjoyed freshwater and she asked if i like shrimp. I was like yes i do haha. She leads me over to the 3 shrimp tanks at the store and asks me to look in and see if there is anything that catches my eye. I hunkered over and looked in and said "i make some fine looking shrimp". About that time the assistant manager walked around the corner and was oh hey man how are you doing this week and the new girl looks at him like ohh... I told the assistant manager about how she's doing a good job trying to sell me shrimp i bred haha. Poor girl turned all sorts of red with embarrassment. He told her how i breed stupid amounts of shrimp and grow a ton of the plants for them
Really loving this series. Breeding for profit is 75% of my income. I definitely agree about using a tank for multi purpose breeding plus growing plants. Do you have monthly reptile shows/pet expos in your state? I have found alot of success there and no competition. I was surprised how much of that audience had aquariums.
quick question! i have 3 pleco tanks with guppys and pleco will i be able to put Blue and red ones in there without issues? like you said tank diverse ;)
@@homebredaquatics they are 60 liter tanks have 3 plecos and 3 guppys all 100% bloodlines for spawning only and when they put out babys they go in a diffrent tank
@RoseAuto I'd probably keep it that way. I think the shrimlets wouldn't be predated on by the guppies. I run my systems with either guppies and plecos or plecos and shrimp.
Does anyone have recommendations for a marketplace to actually sell your shrimp and what not? I’ve got Facebook Reddit insta and twitter but I’m looking for alternatives to a website, thanks.

Haha that's great! At least she knows now.
Braggadocious much
Love the video brother
Thanks, man. Hope you got some valuable information from it.
I like your videos brother keep them coming

We have very frequent reptile expos but no fish expos. I'm hesitant on bringing fish and plants to a reptile expo because of exposure.
Real good info bro 💥
Thanks bro
Well done, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Nice video!!!
Thank you
thanks, great video
You're welcome, I hope you were able to take something away from it.
Ive not seen video's on how people ship shrimp effectively, would be interesting bagging them up etc
I will probably do a group of videos on packaging and shipping methods for plants and fish.
Marks shrimp tank has a very informative video on this very subject! Certainly worth a watch
quick question!
i have 3 pleco tanks with guppys and pleco will i be able to put Blue and red ones in there without issues?
like you said tank diverse ;)
That greatly depends on tank size, but it could work in a 40g just give the shrimp room to hide and multiply.

Do you ship shrimp
I do!
I mixed mine blue and green lol I just want to have a tank full not to sell so I’m chilling
Nothing wrong with that, people love buying culls as well in the event you want to trim back the colony.
We’re you drunk when you made this? 😂😂 idk why but a couple times your energy just put off buzzed vibes lol
No, lol I was just very tired. I work two jobs. Run my business and try to fit in videos when I can.
