first ? 😂

I used to have a hard time explaining what is is i do, without being made fun of. BUT MAN... imagine saying you keep so many shrimp in so many tanks! I don't envy you my friend, but i certainly do salute what you do. Keep going! What a great video showcasing what must be some of the best shrimp tanks on youtube. Sorry i'm late to the video! To be fair, this is my second time watching this video! I feel like if i told you the tanks looked "empty"... you would smirk and question me with "Oh are they? look closer." I love it. one of My fav tanks of all time was a 10G shrimp tank with java moss and some cherries i kept on my kitchen counter! Thanks for taking the time to make such an immersive video. loved it.
Oh wow Thank you Joey, big time fan of yours but you probably already know that, means a lot to me you came on my channel to leave such a nice comment because I know how busy you must be, thank you mate 👍
by the way Joey I forgot to say if you ever need help with Shrimp just say the word ok 🤓
Just started my first cherry shrimp 5 gallon tank because of you. Keep up the good work 🖒
thank you, if you need any help just let me know 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks i recently started my very first shrimp tank as well 😁.
You mind telling me how long i should leave the lights on in the tank for the shrimp and plants to be healthy?
I wish I could grow Subwassertang like yours, You've got a gift there. Has anyone told you lately that you're looking younger??
Subwasserrtang grows like weeds and moss put of control wat u mean
Thank you Finn, I use stem cells from new borns brains 😂😂🤮😵
I had cataract surgery on both eyes when I was in my mid thirties. I know that is young to have them, but it was due to congenital diabetes. Anyway, for me it was like that scene in the Wizard of Oz when the movie goes from black and white to colour. You dont realise just how bad your vision has become until after the surgery - it's like the world comes alive again instead of being covered in a foggy grey. My lenses are set to long distance so I need magnifying glasses to be able to focus on anything that is within a meter of my face. Been almost 20 years since my surgeries and eyes are still great.
Good luck with your surgery Mark. Amazing shrimp room, I just love EVERYTHING!
Thank you Ricardo 🦐
Thx a lot, you are the best shrimp fam teacher, good luck with your eyes.
Wow, thanks😀
I had cataracts in both eyes and had both lenses replaced in early 2017. I am a new man, you will not be disappointed!! Good luck with the surgery.. PS I'm from South Africa
Thank you for the heads up Colin. did you notice color changes? people have told me to be prepared for how bright and vivid things really are.
@@MarksShrimpTanks Yes, I could not believe how bright things were. It might sound silly, but I could actually see leafs on trees from a distance. Before the surgery a tree was just green from a distance... It definitely increased the quality of my life!
Hope your surgery will go/went well, always love seeing your skrimps!!
Thank you Martin, I still have a couple of days to go 👍
Hope the surgery goes / went well Mark 🙏
Thank you Glen, still a week to go before I go into hospital.
Danke 🙏 und alles Gute für deine Augen 👀
Thank you Detlef 👍
So much great info! Thanks for sharing your soft/hard water parameters!
You're very welcome mate.
Lots of fun seeing everything! Great video thank you
Thanks for watching
I knew u had eye problems . But didn't know how hard it was for u to see your shrimp . You do one hell of a good job all considering 👏
Thank you mate, new lenses should fix the issue so I am so excited to be able to see properly again.
Good for you man keep up the amazing videos .. I have noticed you never keep fish with shrimp .. if u could what fish would u choose. I have celestial pearl danios .clown killis. Ember tetras blue spotted rainbow fish and oto cats with my shrimp no issues . They just make more nutrients for my heavy planted tank
I really enjoy your post. Thanks.
Glad you enjoy it Racheal !
Good luck with the operation and thanks for all your nice videos :-)
Thank you Peter, 2 more days to go before I start to see better again, people are telling me I should see a difference in as little as 12 hours.. I cant wait I am sooo excited.
I wish you nothing but great luck with your surgery! Thank you for an amazing video as usual! 😊
Thank you Don, I still have a couple of days to go but I cant wait to see properly again, thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for tour, jealous again lol. Hope surgery went well
Still to have it next week
Beautiful Tanks and shrimp..!
Best wishes to you my friend..!
Thank you! Cheers!
Best of luck for the surgery mark !!!
Once your eyes are sorted your gonna see those beautiful shrimp like never before.
I’m excited for you !!
ohh I hope so, thank you for watching :)
Looking nice man. Really like the magnetic light covers 👍
Glad you like them!
Thanks Mark, was a great watch :)
Glad you enjoyed it mate :)
Great video! Shrimps are looking great. I know how ya feel with your sight. I have Keratoconus and have a heck of a time trying to see shrimp from any distance but up close. Best of luck man. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you Mathew.
Good luck too you Master Shrimp Mark
Thank you :)
Good one. Nice overview. Seriously good job on making beginner shrimp keepers like me jealous 😂 thank you for all the info you share, there 's something to learn in every video you make.Good luck with the Surgery. Hope everything goes well.
Thank you mate :)
Congrats, hope recovery is fast!
still 6 days to go but thank you mate.
Good luck with the surgery hope all goes well for you
Thank you mate 👍
I think I would never leave that room, observing and caring for my own shrimp is just so therapeutic, and I only have about 50 (that I know of, the babies are very good at hiding, obviously). Hope your surgery went fine, so you'll be able to see and enjoy your work much better. :)
thank you mate, surgery is still 4 days away. 👍
The nastiest (balanced tanks) always have the most fish/shrimp thriving in them.
The clean tanks usually are the tanks where fish and shrimp die
hi mister you just gained a new subscriber
Hope everything goes smoothly with the op mate. Take care man. ✌💙
Thank you Mate, the op is tomorrow morning 👍
Great news mate.
Thank you sir !!
Good luck with the eye surgery and congrats for it! Totally love your opae ula tank 😊.
Thank you Sir :)
Gold luck again with your surgery mate!
Thank you mate, I still have a few days to wait. 🦐
I had to move a bunch of babies out of my tank into a different holding spot (a month or so old now) and i hate to say it but I essentially rinsed them out of the tank and into a strainer, i didn't have casualties directly from the process more from my attempts at netting them and falling gravel because i didn't get all of it out. They were all out uninjured and they settled in to their new surroundings at about the same pace as the adults. I really wouldn't recommend it unless you desperately need to take them out like if you already sprung a leak but I thought I'd put my bit of shrimp keeping malpractice out there
It looks like spring has arrived in your tanks
(I'm starting to see berried shrimps again)
That cryptocoryne nurii looks amazing
(Definitely not a waste of money)
Good luck with your eye surgery
Thank you Bart :)
Good luck big dawg
Thank you mate :)
..I really like the hair!..or lack there of...Looks Great..
Like a boiled egg with a beard Barbara. 😂
I hope everything went or goes well!!
I still have 5 days to go before I get it done, thank you Mark.
Mark, thank you for putting out such great videos! I really enjoy them. What is the floating plant in your blue dream tank at 6:03? Thanks! Good luck with your surgery!
Thank you mate, the plant was salvinia :)
It's great to see your tanks and their specifics. I like the idea of bags of soil.
I notice using them the affects takes longer to happen than if you use them in an Asian style filter probably because the water isnt being drawn through it.
nice
Thanks
Awesome Tanks! I'm working on a shrimp only tank, as I lost too many in my main 15 gallon tank. Random deaths, and wondering if possible soil being shifted and causing ammonia bubbles. I do less water changes and take my time to make sure I do no cause any premature molts, if possibly that has been causing some deaths. Definitely subcribing.
are you using tapwater? declorinator?
@@MarksShrimpTanks I do use tap water and declorinator. I let the water stand for at least 5 days before water changes. And also try to keep it close to temp in tank.
Mark good luck with your eyes! I know how it is I have severe grave’s disease that attacked my eyes! I went completely blind in one eye . But I had 4 hr surgery and three more operations and chemo therapy. Had to get rid of tanks! But I’m setting up some nano tanks! :)
Sorry to hear that Sandy, my left eye did bulge a little when I had graves but it went back to normal once I had my thyroid removed, if you need to talk about anything just hit me up on my email address its in my about section on my youtube home page. 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks it’s a horrible disease! I know why they call it graves ! Thank you , hopefully your eyes will be ok !! 🤞🙏
awesome vid, i’m days away from buying everything for my first setup, what sponge filter would you recommend best for a 10 gallon? and a link if possible please ?
I actually like the stand alone sponge filters like this www.amazon.com/Aquapapa-Sponge-Filter-Aquarium-3-Pack/dp/B07JW88XYV/ref=sr_1_5?crid=32ZT86DRXN8BX&keywords=sponge+filter&qid=1647763454&sprefix=sponge+filter+%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-5
Hope you recover well from you surgery love all the tanks, Shrimp have been the most rewarding part of the hobby for me yet! love my Blue Dream and Fire Reds! Also how much crushed fish flakes do you do? 1 pinch daily per tank?
thank you Jacob, yeah a biggish pinch sounds about right daily in my neo tanks, I cant do the same in my softwater tanks....YET 😂🦐 I will find a way.
Hey Mark your tanks look amazing! I see you use a lot of active soil for caridina shrimp and was wondering if you have any experience with caradinas and deep dirted substrates like Father Fish on TH-cam recommends.
Hello Mat I have tried it once and it didnt work for me, I ended up with a tank of cyno bacteria but that was probably me and not the soil, never tired it again since.
I hope you had a great surgery! See you soon😃👀
Thank you Hen 👍
Love these shrimp, I can never keep my crystals alive no idea why my water should be perfect
are you using RO ?
@@MarksShrimpTanks yes my tap water is very soft and has a RO system
Can you do a video on how the oxidiser works in your tanks?
Ideas, why you use it,
How does it work
Which tanks would you consider using it in
its been done :) th-cam.com/video/0QqyDKN-ABE/w-d-xo.html
Hey Mark would love a video on how to Keep a small fish bowl successfully with shrimp, I don't have space for a 10gallon or even a 5gallon so would love ur input on it
The smallest tank I have is like a 2 gallon, I wouldnt go any smaller than this, small tanks like nano tanks are not really my thing.
Hope your surgery went well Mark.
still a week to go
@@MarksShrimpTanks good luck.
Good luck with surgery Mark!
Thank you mate 👍🦐
What is your water change schedule for your Opae Ula tank?
Hello Monty, I never change the water ever, I think the last water change I did was more than a year ago... I might just check the salinity now and again but thats it. 👍
Do i see limpets in your super crystal reds tank? I have some in my red cherry shrimp tank. I was just curious if limpets were the little spots on the glass.
I wish you a speedy recovery after your cataract surgery. I had that done on my left eye a few years ago. Now i have blurred vision in my right eye..... but i can see up close with it, so it's not a problem watching your great shrimp videos!
All best wishes your way!
Yes I have them in all of my tanks and thank you for the well wishes Carolynn 👍
Question: i have tetras with cherry shrimp. i feed the tetras flakes and im searching to make them breed a bit is feeding pellets while fish as asleep helpfull cause they can munch on it directly?
yeah I still feed pellets once a week two just to make sure I am feeding them properly, so you are doing the right thing
Nice, tour Mark. Pls tell me wich air compressor/pump you are use for your air filters in tanks. Tnx 😊👍Hello from Croatia 😀🦐
hello mate let me just check. Its a medo blower LA -45C, Its a linier piston air pump.
@@MarksShrimpTanks how meny air filters are conected on one tihs pump? Tny mate :)
I have about 30 connection and I bleed off a lot of air too because its very powerful, this pump can do 60+ tanks I think.
found it quite fascinating,nice project bro.
As a marine guy in the main,the brown look is harsh. What substrate is it?
its just sand mate
@@MarksShrimpTanks ah ok,looks like what our entire town looks like right now after a Sahara sandstorm hit Spain. Like Teracotta sand:)
Amazing setup wish I was as fortunate as you haha 😆.
Mark I got a 5 gallon tank which used aqua soil
The aqua soil is meant for plants this tank is pretty old so the buffering is not so powerful.it has a pH of 6.4 I didn’t add shrimp yet .
Can I add crushed coral to an already existing tank shrimp tank will it be problem as it slowly changes the parameters .I just want to make sure before I add them to my new tank and my existing blue dream tank .
I’m ready to go buy shrimp for my new tank tomorrow but I just want to know about the crushed coral and the 6.4 pH can I breed neos at this pH or do I add crushed coral and if so can I add shrimp straight away?
You can really add crushed coral to an active soil mate you need to change out that soil for sand or gravel.
@@MarksShrimpTanks ok can I breed neos in 6.4 pH?
If so I’ll just let time pass and the buffering will run out
Hello Mark. I think out of anyone you would be able to answer this for me. I dont have much room to store RO water but I have a top shelf of a tank stand free. The dimensions are 37"x19" is there any square containers that will hold at least 25 gallons that are safe and wont break under the weight of water?
yeah see if you can get a cheap second hand fish tank or maybe a Rubbermaid type thing, depend on how much space you have really.
Where can I buy those styrofoam boxes you ship with
Are you still dose h2o2 separately into your tank Mark?
No I only ever use it if there is a problem mate.

Hi, what is "massive tank syndrom" - please explain how it happens and what to do against!!! Thx
I meant to say massive shrimp death syndrome, right now its just a theory, in soft water tanks once the substrate is finished, there is an issue with ammonia becoming toxic and it kills a lot of shrimp.
In harder water tanks it can be a problem but no where near as bad because the fix is simple water changes.
In a softwater tank the fix would be add some more soil or restart the tank.
@@MarksShrimpTanks 🙏
do you have tanks where you don't do water changes?
I dont but today I was thinking about trying it in one tank to see what happens.
Could you elaborate on apple wood? I have a few apple trees in my garden that are trimmed every year. Should I be drying the branches? What does it do for the shrimp?
mine are two year dried and then soaked for a month and straight into the tanks.. you can use a lot of wood but it has to be hard wood.
@@MarksShrimpTanks what does the wood do? Do you use it to grow biofilm?
yes the shrimp eat it.
What's the best substrate for blue neocaridina shrimp
Just sand or fine gravel mate.
👍❤👍
What are the big crustations at the bottom tank?
Australian redclaw crayfish 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks they are very fascinating! Thanks!
Is that mass tank death syndrome for soft water shrimp caused by the soil losing its buffering ?
I had a mass death of my CRS of about 80%
There are cherry's in there and there was no issue with them
yes I think so, you can also get it with neos but its not normally an issue because we can do bigger water changes in neo tanks to compensate.
Good luck with your eyes!
Thank you Lee :)
Don't need a 3 minute warm up. Just get to it. Thanks.
Is there really any need for your rudeness? If you dont like it unsubscribe or don't watch. 👍
What happened to sulawesi
the Jager heater stuck on killing all the shrimp.. I dont have any heaters in my shrimp room now.
@@MarksShrimpTanks are u planning to try again?
yes possibly, I gave some of them to a friend and he now has a small colony so I can restart again some day.
@@MarksShrimpTanks i lost mine to ph swing. probably will try again, now i have some good ideas.
Good luck with your eye surgery! 🤞
Thank you Dylan
