This video has helped me on so many levels! I have recently started a Cherry Shrimp tank.. this inspires me to look into other species I'm interested in. Thank you!
you talked me back into keeping fresh water. went to reef keeping never thought i was going back haha getting a 10 or 20 gallon soon from petcos sale and recommendations i have kept the before about 2 years ago
so i have a question :) here is the story first. i just got a little mixed breed fancy dwarf shrimp a few days ago and it was carrying eggs. not really sure what the species is. it looks like if a harlequin sulawesi crossed a glass or bee. anyway, it has since let most of the eggs go. why did it do this? i dont think they were ready to hatch, but she keeps hiding between rocks and then she comes out and there are less eggs. any suggestions? also how long does it generally take for the eggs to hatch?
+10pmgotosleep Thank you. They are scavengers and eat most anything. There are very specific foods made just for shrimp but they tend not to be very picky. I have found that they really really enjoy the New Era Marine Grazers - it's a soft disc made for saltwater tangs and other grazing fish. I break them up and the shrimp go crazy for it.
Super nice video! I have been thinking about shrimp off and on...but they seem to fragile. Lately, I had to go down to a five gallon tank so I can't keep too much in it, so shrimp sounds like a great idea. I only have two questions. Can they be kept at 78 F? I have a thermostat that keeps this temperature constant and I can't change it. I also have two mollies? Are they good for shrimp? Again, awesome video...
+Artur Kedziora Sorry for the late reply. Shrimp prefer it a little bit lower than 78 but can definitely handle that temperature. The mollies however would likely try to eat the small dwarf varieties that I keep. Larger ghost shrimp, Amano shrimp, and bamboo shrimp would likely be fine.
I have a 20 gallon with neon tetras, ghost shrimp, albino coryadas, and an otocinclinus catfish and they all get along fine I'm also about to move my biggest shrimp to a new 10 gallon tank because she has a bunch of eggs so I am planning on starting a colony
I bought two baby vampire shrimp,About an inch,Put them in my 50 gallon fish tank with hiding spots and tree bushes,When i put them in they were sorta hiding ya know?When night time came,I turned the fish tank light off,The next day i went to look for them,I couldnt find them,I do have two, 3 inch angel fish,some small glo fish and two baby sharks,Could those fish have eaten them in the dark?
At time 1:31 what is that green carpet like material in the tank, is it natural algae or a minced moss ball? I really like the accent it offers the tank. Also what plants are you using, I love this set-up it inspired me to raise shrimp.
I have a 15 gal freshwater tank, with a variety of tropical fish. I am thinking of getting some shrimp to help eat fish and plant debris, but I have no experience with freshwater shrimp. Can you recommend an ideal species for a beginner? Thanks!
+Valkyrie612 Amano shrimp are great for beginners. They get larger than many of the other dwarf shrimp and are very hardy. They eat algae which is a great benefit but unfortunately will not breed in your tank.
What did you use to run the sponge filters for 15+ tank? A bunch of air pumps or one massive air pump with a manifold? Curious as I am setting up this exact setup but with 10 gallons.
+Gankasaurusrex I use inert sand in some and in the others I use Fluval Stratum, Mr Aqua Plant Soil, and Up Aqua Shrimp Sand - they all are very very similar.
They look great and I'm loving the tanks. Couple questions, I'd like to know where you got your 5 x 5 tanks? I don't have a lot of space and we're not supposed to have any fish because I'm in a high-rise apartment. These tanks look perfect. Finally, I'm trying to get into plants as well. I'm a complete beginner with both--although I've had tons of tanks and fish in my life. What sort of setup would I need for both the shrimp and plants?
romeyn smith Smith Keeping plants and shrimp is pretty easy. a simple air driven sponge filter and a bright enough light and you're in business. if you have the money buy some shrimp substrate. many stores carry 5.5 gallon tanks, it's a standard dimension.
What kinda air pump(s) are you running to power all those tanks. I recently set up a rack and I only have 5 ten gallons at the moment, this dual output pump I got is struggling to provide bubbles to all of them.
iammyantinerd I use an EcoPlus 8 outlet air pump in conjunction with a big old tetra whisper dual outlet airpump - I think it's the AP300. Both of these were just lying around; they were not intentionally purchased for this project but get the job done.
sorry if i missed it, but are those 5 gal tanks? love your set up very clean. i have some concerns tho with the small tanks , arent they hard to water change? or do you have an over flow? thanks, i just subscribe and this is the first video ive seen from your channel
LOL59hahaha Those are 5 gal. Water changes are a pain. If I were to do it over I think I'd go with 25g cubes and just focus on fewer strains. No overflows; I wanted each tank to be it's own system - I've got low pH, mid pH, and hopefully soon some high pH strains.
Excellent video! :) Very informative and beautiful display of the shrimp! Just a couple questions because I plan on replicating the same setup as you. What kind of lighting system do you have and did you cycle your tanks for a few weeks before adding the shrimp? And for your air input, did you just share one air line tube for each rack with t connectors? I couldn't tell. I look forward to hearing from you and your knowledge :)
+dawgchyper91 I'm using beamswork LEDs. The color rendering isn't the most amazing but they are super cheap and put out a ton of light. I have a large air pump with a multi valve manifold. Standard T connectors don't work all that well as air will take the past of least resistance so whatever tank has the lowest water level gets all the air. Cycling periods totally depend on what substrate you use - You want to see a consistent zero ammonia and nitrite with just a tad of nitrate.
+Gastanker's Fish Vids Thank you so much for the response! What size Beamsworks did you have and what watt power? Thank you so much :) If you could provide a model number or a url link of some sort that would be perfect if you do not mind.
This is exactly what I wanna do. Tap water, Neos, etc... Do you run heaters and what kinda substrate are you using? I was recommended to use EcoComplete.
nice. ive since learned i can find black blasting sand that is inert and people do use it in their fish tanks. definitely gonna use that. what kinda sand are u using?
I would just use RO water. Very inexpensive and keep my shrimp well! Great to see Gastanker Spread the hobby. Like he mentioned i don't use heaters either. It has caused problems before just keep room temp in mind. And i just do a sand special clay mix and gravel on top. Highly planted tanks, my shrimps love it.
there are a bunch of good lights out right now that would work well in the rack. I'm using beamswork and green element because they are cheap and bright. current USA freshwater plus would also be enough light and might make the shrimp look a bit better - more expensive though
Not sure if u still have this set up but & I realize u wanted them separated but aren't small tanks are harder to maintain? . How do/did you do it? ..how did u deal with the evaporation and shifting water parameters in small tanks.? Thx!
Smaller tanks are definitely harder. Due to these being shrimp it's not so bad. I feed very little so nitrate accumulation and absorption are pretty mush in sync. I cover the tanks to decrease evaporation but do top off frequently. My day starts and ends in the fish room so it's just part of the routine.
What are your thoughts on using the Beamworks 9x 1 Watt led light for a Fluval Ebi/ Flora tank? Or the 6 x 3 Watt ones, I only ask because I'm pretty sure they're from the same company as your led you got for your larger tank
a few long tanks would be much easier and definitely more stable but unfortunately some of these shrimp interbreed and the hybrids are often a drab brown or green and considered worthless.
Awesome setup man! Thanks for making the video and sharing! I'm curious about the filter setup. Do you have to have a separate filter for each tank? What kind of filters do you use? Any info you can give about the filtration would be much appreciated. Thanks for sharing!
Charles Bukowski thanks. I run sponge filters, one per tank all running off of a large single air pump - very innexpensive. sponge filters can't hurt baby shrimp and provide a great surface area for scavenging food.
I have the tanks rim to rim. I see no problem with this but if I wanted to I could space them apart about an 1/8 of inch to 1/4 inch which would allow power cords/airline tubing if I needed. The rack I purchased was specific to the size of these tanks so the fit is pretty spot on.
Will this setup help me keep brine shrimp like the triops, fairyshrimp, clam shrimps, and sea fleas alive? I plan to buy some and like the idea of live plants and perhaps the type of water filter that u have.
Butterfly Whisperer yes and no. some of the animals you named are freshwater and the other saltwater - I don't recommend plants in saltwater aside from macro algae and mangroves. sponge filters will work for all of them.
Gastanker's Fish Vids Thank you. They say that the ones I want are fresh water and some of them come mixed in the shipment. The site I'm interested in is arizonafairyshrimp.com. Have u heard of them? I might also get a seperate tank for triops.
+Marie-Josée Levasseur I'm running Beamswork and GreenElement LEDs. They don't have the most amazing color rendering and they power supplies fail from time to time but they are amazingly bright for the cost.
Gastanker's Fish Vids what do you think I have had discus and out her tropical fish would you say shrimp are easy to look after.I have four sponge filters and four small tanks like double the size of yours. What kind of shrimp could I get not to breed but to let them breed freely. What kind of shrimp could live in a big group's and be happy
Any of the types are happy in big groups. The neocaridina are easier than the caridina. There are many variations but the most typical starter is the red cherry shrimp.
No brand name to my knowledge. I import them from China in bulk for cheap. You can often find them on Amazon and Ebay. If you can't find them let me know and I'll sell you some.
Gastanker's Fish Vids I think I found it. Thanks www.amazon.com/XY-2831-Sponge-Filter-Aquarium-10-gallon/dp/B0056XVF82/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427382771&sr=8-2&keywords=sponge+filter
Different color morphs of caridinas create awesome new colors. Different color morphs of Neos creates ugly brown and tan babies. Both species can be kept in the same tank although they do have slightly different idea water parameters.
I did have a bit of evaporation when uncovered but nothing too drastic. From time to time I would cover the tanks - I had 4' sheets of acrylic that I would place over each shelf of tanks.
Gastanker's Fish Vids Check this out. Its a crossbreeding chart and it tells you which shrimp will cross breed and which ones don't. I bet you could have fewer but nicer tanks with multiple tyhpes of shrimp. i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt227/alexjinga/crossbreeding_big.jpg
+John Smith Thanks. I'm aware of these charts. simplified neos all cross and caridinas all cross. there are exceptions like Amano shrimp, and babaulti. these tanks were essentially all 1 type of neo with one type of caridinia.
The shrimp setup looks really great! The separate tanks look really clean ^-^
Wonderful video! Thanks for posting it. I love tiny tanks with tiny stuff in it, too. :)
This video has helped me on so many levels! I have recently started a Cherry Shrimp tank.. this inspires me to look into other species I'm interested in. Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear that I've helped and have further encouraged your passion for shrimp. Thank you for the comment.
@@gastanker what shelf unit did you use for your 10g breeding aqauriums?
Love the setup-- and definitely do some reviews. Always helpful to hear other people's experiences.
Looks amazing. Shrimp are looking good and happy. Great Job.
you talked me back into keeping fresh water. went to reef keeping never thought i was going back haha getting a 10 or 20 gallon soon from petcos sale and recommendations i have kept the before about 2 years ago

what they eat? any special things the need to survive besides the water parameters? btw beutiful setup
+10pmgotosleep Thank you. They are scavengers and eat most anything. There are very specific foods made just for shrimp but they tend not to be very picky. I have found that they really really enjoy the New Era Marine Grazers - it's a soft disc made for saltwater tangs and other grazing fish. I break them up and the shrimp go crazy for it.
This guys is a certified shrimp addict.

Hi man nice setup! It is really helping me making plans for my new setup. May I ask you what kind of air pump you use?
How stable are your water parameters with that tank size?
Do you no how to breed shrimp, so you get Green Hulks?
Hey! Awesome setup!! I'm looking to do something like that myself... I have a quick question for ya... What are the filters you're using? Thanks

What do you have for sale? Hit me a PM. I love your shrimp addiction. It's awesome.
Do any of your shrimp ever jump out of the tanks sometimes or do your shrimp useualy just chill out in the tank
i found that it will be very hard for you to change the water.. is that true ?
This is exactly what I wanna do. Tap water, Neos, etc... Do you run heaters and what kinda substrate are you using? I was recommended to use EcoComplete.
EcoComplete is a great substrate. I use inert sand for my neos. I don't use heaters but the room is temperature controlled with them in mind.
nice. ive since learned i can find black blasting sand that is inert and people do use it in their fish tanks. definitely gonna use that. what kinda sand are u using?
It's a mixture but primarily black beauty (the blasting grit you are talking about) and either florite or ecocomplete
I would just use RO water. Very inexpensive and keep my shrimp well! Great to see Gastanker Spread the hobby. Like he mentioned i don't use heaters either. It has caused problems before just keep room temp in mind. And i just do a sand special clay mix and gravel on top. Highly planted tanks, my shrimps love it.
Gastanker's Fish Vids For my crystals I am now using both Mr. Aqua Aquarium Soil as well as Up Aqua Shrimp Sand.
Awesome setup!
@ 2.54 what is the stringy bright green moss?
Love the rack, looking to do something similar. Just a quick question what lights are you using, as you seem to get very good plant growth
there are a bunch of good lights out right now that would work well in the rack. I'm using beamswork and green element because they are cheap and bright. current USA freshwater plus would also be enough light and might make the shrimp look a bit better - more expensive though
How did the Crystal Red shrimp do when is over 82 degrees in the summer ?
Can you tell me what type of rack you have ,size and brand thanks

Great job and VERY helpful! Thanks!
How you maintain the temperature of your tanks ? What is the average temp of your fish room ? I am also planning to make a fish room like yours.
Yes, my fish room is temperature and humidity controlled - I find it much more simple and accurate than heating each individual shrimp tank.
Thats a great idea. I will try to do that. Thanks for the info. Thumbs up.
Hi, whats that long stem plant reaching the surface at the mid of the 5.5gal tank at 01:00 minute?
What are your thoughts on using the Beamworks 9x 1 Watt led light for a Fluval Ebi/ Flora tank? Or the 6 x 3 Watt ones, I only ask because I'm pretty sure they're from the same company as your led you got for your larger tank
9x1w is plenty for the majority of aquatic plants. If you're going with dense low lying carpeting plants go with the 6x3w.
what's better for shrimp in your mind sand or stone
Why not have a few long tanks instead of a lot of little ones? Won't that keep water parameters stable and save a lot of time??
a few long tanks would be much easier and definitely more stable but unfortunately some of these shrimp interbreed and the hybrids are often a drab brown or green and considered worthless.
oh yes off course..I forgot all about interbreeding . Its not worth it. I agree. Nice setup....gonna try to mimic it.

Gastanker's Fish Vids hey can you make a video of your air pump running all the sponge filters ?
Smart to do it like you, but how many space do you have between a tank and the rack and is this perfect?
I have the tanks rim to rim. I see no problem with this but if I wanted to I could space them apart about an 1/8 of inch to 1/4 inch which would allow power cords/airline tubing if I needed. The rack I purchased was specific to the size of these tanks so the fit is pretty spot on.
Is this a pet store or a house?

Gastanker's Fish Vids Thanks
will the shrimp keep plants clean?
That's really awesome dude I wish I had that same rack that's like perfect my man
Wonderfull! What are you using as lighting?
+Marie-Josée Levasseur I'm running Beamswork and GreenElement LEDs. They don't have the most amazing color rendering and they power supplies fail from time to time but they are amazingly bright for the cost.
are these tanks 24''12''15'' (length *breadth*height). or any other dimensions please tell me.thanks
+omkar gajare Those are 5.5g tanks. 16x8x10.
Do you sell your shrimps? If you do how do i buy them? I really need some shrimp right now
how did the crystal shrimp do when it was over 82 degrees in the summer ?
They actually did fine. I didn't notice any die off. I never suffered from it but they are much more prone to fungus at higher temps.
Gastanker's Fish Vids what do you think I have had discus and out her tropical fish would you say shrimp are easy to look after.I have four sponge filters and four small tanks like double the size of yours. What kind of shrimp could I get not to breed but to let them breed freely. What kind of shrimp could live in a big group's and be happy
Any of the types are happy in big groups. The neocaridina are easier than the caridina. There are many variations but the most typical starter is the red cherry shrimp.
Gastanker's Fish Vids thanks I got some ghost and cherry shrimp yesterday there cool
Bro, how does your plant survive without CO2 ? They all die on me even Java moss.
Where did you get this rack? Is it very sturdy for all the tanks filled up ? Can you tell me the dimensions please. Thanks!
JN Pretty sure it's 48x18x72. Not totally happy with it. Here's my review th-cam.com/video/NEAln7TGL6U/w-d-xo.html
shrimp tank are so hot I wish I could live in them the ultimate Paradise
Can u tel what filter do u have and the aquarium Dimensions pls??
What's the brand and product name of the sponge filters you used here? Sorry if you mentioned this before :-)
No brand name to my knowledge. I import them from China in bulk for cheap. You can often find them on Amazon and Ebay. If you can't find them let me know and I'll sell you some.
Gastanker's Fish Vids I think I found it. Thanks www.amazon.com/XY-2831-Sponge-Filter-Aquarium-10-gallon/dp/B0056XVF82/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427382771&sr=8-2&keywords=sponge+filter
How many do you need and when do you need them by? I believe I can get you them considerably cheaper than that posting.
Will the cylinder size is how much ?? Thank you
Where did you get the shrimp rack???
What lights are you using on your rack?
How big should your Aquarium be for Shrimp?
Sir, what is your tank dimension ?
What is the measurement of the tank ?
Are your Crystals breeding?
What is the size of your tank (l×b×h) ?
so it is possible to keep Caridina and Neocaridina in one tank...?
What parameters should i watch for that option?
Yes, it is very possible to have both flourish in the same parameters. Cater to Caridinia parameters as they are more picky.
thanks... they will not crossbreed right...?
mannyboy estelo no cross breeding, ph 6.6-6.9 and tds like 160 both should do good
amazing video. Very inspiring
How many airpumps do you have and how many watts are they?
Kasper Vonk Just one air pump - 1000ghp, 45 watt.
Can you keep two different breeds together?
Different color morphs of caridinas create awesome new colors. Different color morphs of Neos creates ugly brown and tan babies. Both species can be kept in the same tank although they do have slightly different idea water parameters.
How much is your rack rated??
Can you have a ghost shrimp in a one gallon tank
Yes
Do you have problems with evaporation having a lid-less set up?
Sweet video btw!! :)
I did have a bit of evaporation when uncovered but nothing too drastic. From time to time I would cover the tanks - I had 4' sheets of acrylic that I would place over each shelf of tanks.
2:10 what is that sword looking plant is the back?
+DMAN D On he left? Downoi aka Pogostemon helferi.
Gastanker's Fish Vids Thankyou :)
What size tank
great set up!
Hi to you, Where you buy the RACK??? or did you sell it??? thnaks...
rico rico I bought it at Home Depot.
Gastanker's Fish Vids Thank you
+Gastanker's Fish Vids please can u tell the model name and no. of the rack
What measures?
Are those shrimp freshwater or saltwater shrimp.
These are freshwater shrimp. I do have saltwater shrimp but not nearly as many.
at 2:50 what type of moss is that
Looks like Süsswassertang and Java moss.
Sweet setup, keep up the great wrk bud :)
Nice video thanks 🙏🍣💗🎶🎶♥️🌹👍❤️🇯🇵🙏💗🌿
how long do these guys live till??
months and months
Not long, a bit over a year. They breed prolifically when happy though so although they are short lived as an individual a colony can last ages.
May I ask where you get the rack?
Eric Hsiao in ordered it online from home Depot.
Do you do water changes? How often?
+Alexander Taylor Very very infrequently.
Do you siphon your gravel at all? I'm wondering for when I set up a shrimp tank
I do not siphon my gravel.
Ok, thanks
Why not have them all in 1 big tank?
they hybridize. most hybrids are an ugly brown.
+Gastanker's Fish Vids can two pregnant shrimp live together
+slimeballgamer Vlogs Yes. Shrimp get along very well together.
Gastanker's Fish Vids Check this out. Its a crossbreeding chart and it tells you which shrimp will cross breed and which ones don't. I bet you could have fewer but nicer tanks with multiple tyhpes of shrimp.
i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt227/alexjinga/crossbreeding_big.jpg
+John Smith Thanks. I'm aware of these charts. simplified neos all cross and caridinas all cross. there are exceptions like Amano shrimp, and babaulti. these tanks were essentially all 1 type of neo with one type of caridinia.
wath gallon is tose aquariums?
5.5 gallon
Where did you get that stand, how much?
Kodiak Bear Home depot. The stand works but I wouldn't recommend it. It's poor build quality. You should be able to find very similar better ones.
I want a massive tank with lots of small fish, shrimp, and live plants.
Where did you get the rack?
Tyler Brown home depot. I don't recommend this rack though.
Gastanker's Fish Vids why is that?
th-cam.com/video/NEAln7TGL6U/w-d-xo.html
what are those orange ones called around 3:15?
Rogue Gaming those are tangerine tigers.
Gastanker's Fish Vids awesome, thanks and great vid!
tank size plz??
I need a lesson about PH. What is PH?
+Michael Wells a scale of acidity... 0-14... 7 is neutral, 1 is super acidic, 14 is super alkaline
I'm thinking on getting a tank and putting ghost shrimp in there for my birthday. Any recommendations?
why not do cherry?
+Brandon Kuehn I'm getting cherry shrimp as well. And blue diamond
Oh okay what size tank?
+Brandon Kuehn 5.5 gallons
