Hi my name is Mark and I have helped thousands of people learn how to keep and breed shrimp over the years, I help aquarists go from killing shrimp to tanks busting full of shrimplets. 🦐✨
Disclosure: Marks Shrimp Tanks is an affiliate of Aquaristik Shop and Send Owl, the book publisher. Mark earns a small commission fee for each sale, and all of the money goes back into shrimp keeping. Just don't tell his wife.
Dont forget to like if you enjoyed the video thank you :)
hi i follow some of your recipe for shrimp, they love it but i think the food is very very messy.
Your shrimp footage, as always, is phenomenal.
Anything shrimp....and I mean ANYTHING SHRIMP RELATED, I come to Mark's Channel!
Thank you :)
Very cool, Mark! I appreciate all of your homemade food videos. I don't keep many shrimp, but I use your methods to make food for my snails and other pets. Keep it up!
Two awesome channels coming together to offer one amazing prize! Fingers crossed. . .
Great video & content Mark. Thank you as always!
Thank you fro watching as always :)
Great stuff! Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching :)
That green one with a blue spot on the back! Amazing Mark, I have never seen a shrimp like it. Such a beauty.
I dont have any green shrimp that I know of ,can you give a time on the video where you seen this shrimp ?
6:37 guess he's quite yellow too..
Oh I didnt notice how green he was lol
Funny, I didn't notice how yellow he was.. lol
I love all your shrimp they are so beautiful!!!!
Thank you
Great video thank you Mark, such a pleasure to watch and lear at the same time 😄
Hello Anita thank you for the kind comment :)
Great video, keep going
Just started making my own shrimp food agar agar based they love it
M
Thank you so much for sharing this feedback! It's always a joy to hear that my recipes are being enjoyed by others. I'm glad your shrimp love the agar agar-based food!
As always, super informative and of course funny.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing mark!
Thank you fro watching :)
Ty, I bought some but my shrimp didn't want to eat it, my baby shrimp did but it took them forever to consume. My big shrimp just spread it everywhere but didn't put it in their mouth, that made me think what is this stuff made of. You have some patience, I would just buy a bag from china lol I had to wait a month though lol but paid 4 u.s.d. Thank you so much for taking the time for those whom may need to save a buck, and that is me at times.
Tusen takk!!
thank you 😊
+Abdullalziiz q8 you are very welcome
Mycelium is awesome!
Astounding footage! I really enjoyed it😀 Mycelium in my tank colonizes divided lily bulb rhizomes and shaded manzanita. It becomes a beautifully symmetric and structured on the bulbs; dying back as sugars expire while seeming to seal off the cut end. "White thread algae" is an often used misnomer🤓 Love this kinda stuff! Thank you!
I never really see it in my tanks apart from maybe just after cycling when it covers wood ect ,as soon as the shrimp go in they eat it all :)
Mark what temp and how long did you put them in the oven for?
Loved this video!
+Zoo at 113 thank you zoo !! 😆
subbed, amazing channel. starting my fist planted shrimp tank, you have so much resource to offer. thanks! where did you get that poster of the freshwater shrimp?
+hayyremz hello thank you for the wonderful comment !! The poster was a gift so I don't know where it was bought I will try and find out for you 😃
Nice video mate!
Thank you my friend :)
Very informative
Glad you liked it
Norwegian flag:-)cool tanks!Also when i started up my new shrimp tank i had this fungus in my tank on all the wood, the shrimps got rid of it in a couple of days...
nice video, thumbs up!
Thank you my friend :D
Always count on you
Thank you Dan :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks also appreciate how you actually go through your comments and read them . You actually care about your subscribers
+Dan Pham I love to help people my friend .thank you for the kind words ☺
Absolutely. Mark's 100% committed. Great man.
As always Mark, great tip.
What kind of setup do you have for your macro video? That is some great images.
Hello sir ,Its an Olympus tough tg-4 I use that has a great macro mode :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Thanks, I'll check it out.
Hey Mark. Awesome video as always. We eat a lot of chickpeas in my family. Could I do this with the hulls of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) as well?
We eat them too because we have 2 vegetarians in the family, I will have to try them and see:)
Awesome. I will try soon too. I'm no vegan but I make an awful lot of hummus
Cool video ! :) didn't knew what it was. Like!
Btw, did I miss the june update video? Or have you stopped doing them?
+ForeverYDK no I having done it yet .I will do a july video 😊
6:49 What type of shrimp are those? They look absolutely amazing
Thats a bluebolt :)
tnx, great tip again mark =)) do you think you can do the same with "kikerter" to?
You probably can , it would be interesting to see how long the shell lasted :)
Nice video, can I use the dehydrator machine instead of the oven? thanks
Yes you can, thats what I use for my own foods.
Some exceedingly nice photography at the end of this. Are those shot with existing light?
+travellife08 yes all with unmodified light ☺
Your shrimp room update!!!
It will be on Sunday I made it yesterday :)
Awesome video,very informative,could you also feed them the actual soybean?
oh yes ,a few of the foods I use have soya in them :)
🚨🚓🚔Shiver me timbers ! TY for sharing!👍
hahahaha cool name you have there :D
nice sharing mark, and for this snowfkake we don't need to pick the left over? just let it stay in the tank?
Yeah you dont need to worry about leftovers with this stuff:)
i wonder if you can use garbanzo shells? this is part of making hummus, usually thrown away!
I will have to google what that is :)
Hello from Greece ! Congratulations for your videos !😍
I have something questions for this food .
1. Who time and who temperature you cooking this flakes ?
2. Why you use only the outer part of the bean; they don't eat the inside;
Hello Lampis, its been such a long time since I made this video I cant remember the details, in a nutshell you want to soak the soya beans long enough the skin splits from bean making it easier to remove, the shrimp can eat both the inner and the outside part of the bean... the skin is used because its doesnt go bad like other food items and biofilm grows in it and on it and the shrimp eat that. 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks thanks a lot 🙏! ❤ keep the specials videos!
Hi Mark, Can I use shells of Lupin beans instead of Soya?
To be honest I dont know but I would try it and see :)
Great video Mark, thank you.
What camera do you use to get those amazing close up shots at the end of the video because their beautiful.
+Max Payne hello sir.i use a Olympus tough tg4 it has a good macro function on it .☺
Hi Mark, do you find that you need to use any kind of polarising lens to avoid reflections or glare?
Ollie
+Ollie Taylor no glare is always a problem though .I try to turn other lights of if I can 😊
Cool! I'm going to try and grab a macro lens and a polarising attachment for my camera, ill let you know if it makes life easier!
+Ollie Taylor let me know how you get on ☺
Ok, looking for shrimp food advice and found your excellent video, got the beans in soak. Now I must find out what this music is. Its driving me mad, been listing to epic choral music all night on TH-cam and still can't find it.
Help 🤷♂️
Did you ever find out where this music is from?
In general, are the beans themselves not good/nutritious for them? Is it just the shells that provide the most nutritional value or is it because it grow the mycelium and doesn’t mold as much?
I use the whole thing in my own foods,soya is a good protein source :)
would you recommend this food for Ghost shrimp not just caridina shrimps?
oh yes
Nice Vid Mark.. whats the music?
+Dale Forster it should be at the start on the song .If not I wI'll look it up later .I can't see just now because I am on mobile 😋
Hi Mark love the video what shrimp spices is at 6:37 I love them ! and would love to get some for my self !
o Stabmister o orange eye blue tigers :)
zoey abela I think that's the one before I'm talking about they one that looks almost green
o Stabmister o oh that's a blue bolt 😂
+o Stabmister o I can't see because I am on mobile. If it's blue it's a blue bolt my friend 😆
thank you guys and great work mark !
Hi Mark, i have a question. I did every step as instructed but because i don’t have an oven, i opted to sundry the soybean skin. As per this morning, it was still half wet and smelled a tad rancid, has the soybean skin gone bad?
It's possible that the soybean skin has gone bad. Make sure it's fully dry before using it in your recipe to avoid any potential risks.
@@MarksShrimpTanks Will do, thank you for the answer!
Hey Mark just a question, recently got some tiny babies being born :), how often should i feed baby shrimp on the early stages? Using bacter ae/shrimp baby.
Thank you, don't want to overfeed them or starve them.
very very little I wouldnt even use the scoop ,a pinch evry second day is enough :)
Thanks a bunch! Will do it like that then!
Mark look at the captions :D XDDD its about mushrooms or something :D from 6:35
Date night at Mark's house... squeezing beans...
oh the fun we shall have lol
Mark help me ....how to get rid of the mosquito larvae in tank ....I hate those
you have to cover the tank with netting
@@MarksShrimpTanks Must have very big mosquito's in Scotland if you keep them out with netting 🤣 South of the border we need fine mesh 0.5mm.
What snails do you find best for a shrimp tank
I like ramshorn snails and Malayan trumpet snails :)
Thank you
Hi Mark , wont the snails be harmful to shrimplets?
awesome. \o/
THANKs u man :D
What are those glass things with air in them?
Sochting oxydator :)
Joakim hey subd to your channel :)
Get yourself a food dehydrated, no more burnt soy bean shells, they're so versatile and your kids could use it for making vegan snacks, that's what I bought mine for.
I actually found an even easier way after this video ,I just left that second batch next to my room fan and it was bone dry within an hour ,I probably will get a dehydrator all the same because they are very useful as you say.
Marks Shrimp Tanks they really are so useful, I've been drying all the herbs in my garden so I don't have to buy dried herbs over the winter (so expensive for a little jar) although all the zip lock bags of green leaves look slightly suspicious sitting in my cupboard.
I suffered a heart shake at 6:38
Great footage Mark!
My bad is the music to loud ?
No my friend the music is perfect. The beauty of that close up of a Bolt is exceptional! :)
you can buy snow flake shrimp food as soya husk pellets .a waist product .its exactly the same as marketed by fish food companies .I bought on line in thailand 9kg . for 4 pounds .its used as farm animal food and cat litter . I have no cats and no livestock .going to try mix some in with my dogs microwaved chicken knuckles, in stock.oh its cartalage not bone.Thais eat as well as my dog .😄
❤️
Only the soya bean skin or full part should be soaked and used??
you are using just the skin but to get the skin you have to soak the soya bean
@@MarksShrimpTanks gotcha thanks mark
Can i make them in advance and store the flakes? How?. Thanks
Yes you van it dries very hard.
Can I use a slap chop to chop it up instead?
I dont even know what that is lol
Marks Shrimp Tanks perfect. We can still save you. lol a slap chop is a "as seen on t.v." Kind of kitchen accessory that can cut, slice and dice your produce with a slap of your hand. Darn, did I just advertise that?? Look it up Mark. Lol
+DluxeShrimps hahaha I think the wife might have it lol 😃
Hey Mark, greet from Indonesia!
about the snowflake. Can we save it for a long time, and how to do it?
or we have to use it right after we make it (boil, peeling, etc)
btw great videos as always. Im very late to see this very useful video :'(
once dry it should keep for a very long time like a year I would imagine Fikri :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks So we just have to put it in, like, in a closed container? Or we should refrigerate them afterwards?
closed container is fine, if you have lots of it you can use those little silicon packets to keep it moisture free, if its just you the uses the stuff you can use a couple of teaspoons of rice in the packet, it all sinks to the bottom and it absorbs moisture.
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thank you very much, sir! Wish all the good things for your family :)
Can i boiled it, instead waiting one day?
Try it, should work
3 people who dislike the video obviously don't know the power of the beard.
One will be a Marks Shrimp wanabee and the other will be Fairy Shrimp ,they both be mad lol
Where would you keep the extra snowflakes that you made?
zip lock bag with a few grains of rice in the bottom of the bag :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks thanks your the best
@@kadongestimo7916 Thank you Kadong :)
What would you recommend to a beginner starting this hobby? Like what shrimp is best, what plants are a must or easy enough? Stuff you like this. If you do already have videos you think would majorly help please send a link to me
With out question the easy shrimp is Red Cherry Shrimp , a standard tank with sponge filter and gravel is good enough for them .
Ihave a few videos on tank setup but by far the best playlist to keep your shrimp alive is this one th-cam.com/video/UwZ1uTOtlik/w-d-xo.html
A guy I think it would be worth your while contacting is this fellow th-cam.com/channels/yk1qSw9_SMsUT_-h7cRLLA.html
He is in the same country as you and has Shrimp :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Awesome! I saw some cherry shrimp in a petstore closeby but they refused to sell them, probably still breeding them. Ill try to contact the guy as soon as i can.
Thx for being so helpful! :)
You are very welcome sir :)
I didn't even know you could get dried soy beans.I have only ever bought them frozen in the pods.
I didnt even know you could buy them frozen LOL
Can I Food my shrimps with soybean powder?
probably yes give it a try.
Do neon tetras eat baby shrimp? (Red cherry shrimp)
Oh yes .
What should I do when the mothers eggs eventually hatch?
Sprinckle a tiny amount of crushed powdered food every other night, I have alot of bought stuff for this but I also use organic pollen you only need one or two grains at a time and it breaks up like dust.
Ok thanks. But what I meant is should I put the baby shrimp in a breeder box or what else?
no they are fine out in the tank if its a Shrimp only tank :)
😳
I tried it like you showed - sadly my shrimp didn't fancy it.
It stayed the same way at the bottom of my tank until i took it out a day later.
They fancy the spirolina pallets that i give to my bottom feeders more.
you dont take it out its a medium for growing fungus .
Ho Ho Ho
I watched the video 3x. Reread ALL of the comments, & answers. And I still dont know where to find info about the music! Its beautiful! Would you please tell me the names of the 2 songs?🙏 Thank you! BJ
I have no idea now its been such a long time since they were made.
Or buy soy hull
thumbs up yes you got a like from me Mark great fun job shrimp I have a new shrimp tank the lfs just called them yellow shrimp lol but I don't know what they are can u check out my video to 👀
You used a knife and didn't cut yourself, good job
