Thanks for the inspiration, I'm off to the grocery store to buy bananas, and I have ordered some seeds online, for my own leaf production :)
You are my inspiration love your videos :)
Thanks for the idea! :))) It's almost impossible to buy banana leaves in my country, but I can buy seeds instead.
Your shrimp room is stunning. Would love to see your shrimp room tour soon!
Hello I do video monthly video tour ,they have a playlist in my video section.
Marks Shrimp Tanks Yes! I'll be waiting for the next one.
Thanks, now I’ll feed my shrimps with these natural food, awesome video
Any time!
dried banana leaf last for months growing bio
i keep a 20 cm leaf in the tank the shrimps love picking on it
great to see you back
OMG there was a large orange eyed blue tiger shrimp helped a little one get into the feeding dish then went back to feeding :$
at 4:46 yes! that was cool lol
Glad to see you tried it out! One more food I could try.
Merci pour ce partage et un petit bonjour de France. Good job.
I think sweet potato leaves they might like. Kind of like spinach, quite high in potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. It gets a bit slimey so it might be like what they're into.
I would have honestly guessed the banana would float, but cool to see the shrimp devour it!
Mark your to funny, I actually held my breath when we went under. :0
I love your videos and learn a ton from you. Thank you
Thank you Brenda :)
Really enjoyed the video of just shrimp romping around. Great job!
Thank you sir :)
Just fed me red and black neo tanks with a ripeish banana, that actually sunk and they are all over it, absolutely enjoying it by the look of it. Also I have tried potato peel with some potato on it (obviously) microwaved in a little water, and it sunk and the shrimp seemed to have liked it, they were at it for 2-3 days until only the thin brown skin remained. (might be good for biofilm if it stays in tank)
Would love to see a video about it!
Thanks
Those shrimps are so beautiful
Thank you :)
I think shrimp are so cute!
My neos love pasta as well !
Plain flower or egg noodles?
Egg noodles well cooked!
Shrimp Addiction I will have to try the plain pasta, they also love yellow squash
Good footage
Great to know about banana leaves as I have a plant growing in my yard ☺️
I have a small one in my house ,I did have a big one but it rotted and then a new one grew in its place :)
Oh I'll need to put one of the baby plants in a pot and try it inside. :)
This is great Mark. I would have never thought about banana, never! :)
Glad it was of some help ,I probably wont feed the banana itself alot because its full of sugar but the leaves I will use :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks What do you think the sugars would do to your tanks?
I use banana leaf bowls that are used for steaming and cooking.. I soak these in Bactrim AE and for 7-10 days before I need to be gone .. They do grow a great film on them. They are also great for feeding your shrimp inside..If you have problems with them moving from the water just add a small rock to the inside of the bowl. They are not large and perfect for feeding daily feedings until they start breaking apart which is actually several weeks.. They are 100 percent all banana leaves even the ties that hold them together.. I thought you might mention this on one of your vids.. I plan to do a vid on them before I go on vacation..
Those orange eyed shrimp looks so freaky! Looks like a mythical creature lol
Congrats on your 10k subs :)
Thank you sir ,I will probably pass 11k in a day or two :)
Thank you for opening our minds, japanese pumpkin kabocha boiled It's very attractive and their colors pop
I have pumpkins growing in the garden right now ,not ripe yet :)
Bananas are going to be part of my crystals food rod from now on, thanks to the ever so valuable tips
Been watching your videos and about to start my 1st attempt at cherry reds! Keep up the videos! I find them and your demeanor relaxing!
I hope you enjoy the cherry as much as I have, and mine have been bomb proof! Originally got shrimp to put in a little planted tank with neon tetras thinking to breed them as fish treats for my other tanks, but, not a single shrimp became food lol. They are too awesome!
Not because I am mean but because of lack of info at the time, I did so many 'wrong' things and my shrimp thrived...so much so that the same colony of cherry shrimp are alive and well today (just a whole lot more of them and multiple tanks lol).
I never checked anything (didnt know I was meant to), temp has varied over the years depending if had anything else in with the shrimp but usually about 24-26degC, usually at least java moss and various substrates and use Prime for treating tap water...thats it! Feed has varied too. I either have been super lucky or the cherry are tougher lot here in Australia lol or these shrimp are not as fragile as people think.
Ive even had heaters fail, filters fail and worst was my cat vomit in one of the tanks (no joke, this happened!)...and...they survive! (except for a few I didnt see and were still in the gross vomit tank :( ). Not just survive but they have continue to breed like rabbits so they must be happy enough (kept having to get more tanks lol). Ive also moved house and diff water supply and they still happy!
BTW, its been about six years since got my first shrimp and at some point bought a few as I thought it might help with the gene pool (dont know if it made any difference tbh). Other than that, the easiest pets Ive ever had!
awesome shrimp bro!!
Thank you Cicco :)
Shrimp v. carrot, celery, onion, mango, papaya, coconut flesh, pear, cooked egg yolk.
lol
Wonderful something else I have to ty!
I had the same mixed reaction. Some went for it and some couldn't be bothered.
Shrimp are going BANANAS XD
Look loke they love etaing Banana ... i will try it soon
I loved the background!!,
It has been a while, some medical issues. very nice video Mark.
Oh thatds not so good hope you are feeling better though :)
Thank you Mark, I will be ok in a couple of weeks, then, I will be completely immerse in shrimps. ;-)
fantastic !!:)
Great vids,not in a bad way you sound like the big yen,i have a few shrimp but have fish with them,always looking how to keep all happy with feeding time
I tried the Peas a couple weeks ago and my Neos LOVE them, I put in 5 last evening and this morning they are all gone! -- Love the great videos you are doing - keep up the great work Mark. Feel free to join and post on my aquatic page "United Tanks of America" all are welcome!
Thank you Walter :)
Walter Crews I will have to try the pasta,
Walter Crews , my ghosts and japonica love peas, it like a laxative for them.
I made my own shrimp food, using frozen chopped spinach, spiralina, broccoli , peas, paprika, shrimp sticks, algae wafers montmorillonite clay, bee pollen, and flake food. blended all together and slowly baked it. it's crispy but the fellas love it.
Mark! This idea seems bannanas to me...I'm definately going to try this one.
lol I see what you did there :D
fantastic video as always
Thank you :)
Just lovely.
I'll try it, have you gave them garlic?? i gave it to mine and they loved it. As i have only 12 i cut a small piece and garlic has great Medicinal Properties. Greetings from Mexico!
Lmao :)) They came running for the banana the very moment it touched the bottom :)))))))))
who knew watching shrimp eat banana would be so relaxing, thanks! how about soft boiled cabbage for a shrimp vs.?
I would eat all the cabbage myself :D
my shrimp really like turnip greens and their higher in calcium than about vegetable thing. I boil them a couple mins then drop them in
10k nice Mark, grats!
nyc video Marko sir
I gave banana to my shrimps today, they loved it so does the snails.
They do love it all of the banana in all of the tanks was gone within an hour :)

Bat Fink its been 30 years since I seen that cartoon as a kid lol best of luck with the shrimp :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks haha I used to love that cartoon , Hugo ago go lol!
awesome video dude

Cheers Dani
I have feed them bananas, they love it. I was wondering about blackberries
Maybe ,I have them in the garden but they are not ripe yet with any fruit though you shouldn't feed to much at once because of the sugar content bad bacteria can thrive on it so only ever feed friut in small amounts :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks ty Mark
👍👍👍 greetz from Belgium
Hello From Norway sir,hows it going ?
Marks Shrimp Tanks not so well healthy wise
What is it with us shrimp keepers and rubbish health .?!?! makes you wonder.
Marks Shrimp Tanks ya i know we all want to be closer to nature while we are not doing well
Some beautiful looking shrimp you have there Mark. Im going to Prestwick soon to see family. Im going to use this method. I do have a question tho. The water that you used to soak the leaves, was it RO or tap water, and does it matter?
That was tap with a few drops of prime and a tiny amount of added bacteria :)
Ty👍
I love this. Mark, have you got any experience with jackfruit leaves? I see that they are sold on sites as a shrimp product. If so, would you prepare them by soaking, just like the banana leaves? Thanks.
my bananas float for awhile. I'm glad that you showed your leaves, I thought I was doing mine wrong. Mine is a little slimy, am I leaving it too long?
My leaves were in a bucket of water going on 10 days and I dont think yo can leave them to long ,the slime you feel on them is biofilm which shrimp eat ,in the wild the shrimps habitat is nearly all a leaf base :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks ok, I thought I was doing something wrong. Glad to know about the slime. another great video
Was that a Norwegian flag I saw? Uff da! :-) Recently subscribed as I'm breeding shrimp here and Texas and your channel has a ton of good info!
Yes I live in Norway,I moved here from Scotland 10 years ago :)
Hallo Mark wie geht es Dir? Alles Ok?
I am back in Norway my mother was very sick but she is fine now, how have you been?
Shrimp vs agar jelly (set in a feeding dish).
Oh they will eat that ,some of the diy foods Ive made in the past have agar in it .
good job bro :))
Do you ever use CO2 for your plants? And which plants do you use?
Can do kombucha? They basicly denser biofilm lol
Amazing video. I am curious about your video and lighting techniques. Maybe you can make a tutorial? Also, I have an infestation of dwarf ramshorn snails but I see that you have a lot in some tanks. Is it beneficial to have many?
My videos are very under lite because I dont use anything ,buut I do now have a spare light I can use to illuminate still shots better.
Regarding the Ramshorns I sell them so I want them to breed ,they are only really prolific in one tank because I feed them more :)
it'll float
my shrimp never really got excited over the banana skins, mulberry and nettle were winners but not banana. I never did soak before hand, so that might help.
I am drying banana skins as we speak to add small pieces in the tank ,they are breeding grounds for micro fauna.:)
Marks Shrimp Tanks is it just a case of rinsing in water first Mark? I always bought mine dried already. They do look ideal as grazing material. I wonder if any other fruit or veg skins could be used, although would there not be a problem with potential decay and turning the water?
I used to just soak them to get rid of the tannins but it turns out there is more benefit to leaving them long for biofilm to grow ..Banana skin ect will grow mold and fungus I know that for sure ..you can also do diy penicillin if you really had to from mold of orange skins ,the mold might give you an upset stomach and the runs but it could save your life if you have an infection of some sort lol
Marks Shrimp Tanks so do you just clean the skins thoroughly under water to take any excess fruit pulp off then immerse in powdered bacteria water? lol that's what you did in your vid.. that does make sense. how about drying the skins once they've "fermented" for a few days? I'm trying to think of away to store. the film would die off but wouldn't the process kick in again once immersed?
I never even saw this video till now i tried my tank with banana i had my crystal reds on it
Woo great idea thanks! My dogs really love bananas so I can at least open up a banana and share with them Shrimps now. Do you think they'll take to the peels well too?
Do you think you can collat a playlist on all the videos of all the foods you gave them, Mark? It'll be such easier way to find out what other foods I can give them. So far I've only tried Zucchini.
Hello Sir I have playlist for food and this series :)
Thankyou! I was on my phone just now. Will have a look later!
Shrimp vs. avocado shell.
My otocinclus, guppies and snails loved the wee bit of avocado that was left in the shell and I wonder if shrimp would like it, too.
I wouldnt even try it ,its toxic to most animal so its a no go for me I am afraid.
Hi Mark, I have to admit I went into a bit of a panic reading that avocado is toxic to most pets and had to do some research! I have learned a lot! Most notably that squirrels in Florida would riot if not allowed to eat it! :D Apparently, they are smart enough to strip off the skin and throw away the pits. (Also, that they like strawberry margaritas!) thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?32720-Avocado-SKIN-and-PIT-are-toxic!/page2&s=2bd1e6936720982f0fd5b9b128f6b90b
There really isn't any solid info about it's effects on shrimp or fish, but from my research I think perhaps I should avoid giving them the shell, as it, the leaves, pit and bark are the parts containing the most persin.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado#Toxicity_to_animals
So, Thanks for expanding my education! :D
BANANA OF POWER PRODUCTO CANARIO JA JA
I wonder how you prepare the fresh banana leaves. do you dry them or boil and dry them? I realise the fresh leaves have saps inside the them. are the sap safe?
I always normally soak leaves for a day before I put them in a tank green or dried ,I know I dont always do it in my videos but you should. The important thing is you research whatever leave you use ..if you dont know what it is or cant find information on it dont use it
I must ask. The plants on the wall. How!? It looks soooo good.
Hello Hannah ,they are made of rope and tied up with subwassertang :)
Thanks for the answer! : ) What kind of rope can be used?
I used nylon rope form a hardware store , this is the video I made for it :) th-cam.com/video/t39ZQRhGiOg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks man! :)
Hey Mark! Love your videos, you have beautiful tanks and shrimp! I would like my Cherries to start breeding but no luck. Would adding an Indian Almond leaf to the tank have any impact on triggering breeding? Also known as Catappa leaves. Thanks!
Cherrys love mineral rich water ,so think about stones ect in the water which should help :)
Hi all. How long will this last in a tank?
Has anyone ever gone away for a month?
It would be great to find out how to keep shrimp fed for up to a month while you on holiday
Whats that moss at the back sir?
that looks like pillars
How do u make the vertical moss wall?
try this my friend th-cam.com/video/p-YCa0lT6JQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice ending Mark ^^
i would really like to know how could i get those music like this one you put in the video showing the shrimp eating banana
Hello ,I pay for a licence to play this music in my videos ,you can look them up player.epidemicsound.com/#/
Hi Mark! Are you doing siphoning your substrate sometimes?
I have doen it before but I never do it now
What is substrate? It's lava rocks?
The first one shrimp is really RC??
Hi Mark. I love herbal tea which has tumeric, ginger, lemongrass and mint in it which is organic. Can you use that in shrimp tanks after i have dunked it?
Hi ino your comment is old but no I wouldn't put mint in a tank, don't think it's safe, something to do with the oils in the plant.
Emma.
@@Scouse.raver1 Thanks :)
Are there not tiny white worms on that at 3:15 and 3:24 ?
if there is your vision is way way better than mine :D
Where did you get that shrimp poster? Trying to work up a lesson plan for my young ones!
It was a gift from a friend I can ask them for you :)
That would be amazing! Thank you!
This was the one www.amazon.com/AZOO-AZ90191-Shrimp-Poster/dp/B00B7JWWUE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505032510&sr=8-3&keywords=shrimp+poster
How did you make the banana sink? Every time I’ve tried it floats.
no idea, I cant even remember what I did yesterday. 😂
Hi Mark, when you say your shrimp go 'ravenous' over food, I get very jealous! I have a whole range of high quality food (benebachi, shrimp king etc.), but whenever I feed, only a few shrimp go for it and lose interest shortly after. I feed a tiny amount 3 times a week. Do you not feed for 1-2 weeks to get your shrimp to go crazy over food? Cheers.
The food question just depends on how many shrimp you have ,e.g in one tank I have well over 500 shrimp and If I dont feed them every day they will start to eat each other ....in a tank where you only have 10 shrimp you might only have to feed once a week or maybe not at all. The best way to do is to put the food in and watch them if they are slow or just dont come for the food try the next day and the next day and so on :)
Dokens (dock leaves)?
I was thinking about dock leaves,we used to feed them to our Rabbits when I was a kid :)
thanks for the video.
about the banana leaf, should it be dried before soak into water?
I have tons of banana leaf here but they all are fresh
brew them like you would a cup of tea ,let them sit in hot water for a few minutes then add to tank :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks thanks. i will try that. next week i will be away for 5 days hope my shrimp will survive with the leaf
oh they will 5 days is nothing for shrimp :)
thanks. now i am less worried. First time I going on trip ever since the baby cherries are born
Wow I never tried this
Gona add some banana and it's leaf
We have banana tree here
So how to add the banana leaves
Should I add only dried leaves or i need only to boil and add
I just let them soak for a day to make them sink :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Thanks mark
Life of pi, at the end they say bananas don't float
Is that banana leaf?
I think the Banana wins!!!
Banana yes did win ,I could see no trace of it in any tank after an hour.
Float
...dang it was a sinker!
Hi Mark , I like your video, can you made a video how to killing worms in shrimp tank? =）
I can explain it in a video,I dont have worms or planaria so I cant show it being done..I have had planaria before so I know what has to be done :)
can I put a piece of banana for my shrimp in my community tank with Guppies platies and Cory cats???
Yes you can :)
Shrimp vs shrimp food stick that looks like a Christmas tree and the shrimp eating look like ornaments.
maybe for Christmas ? :)
Hey there I accidentally fed my shrimp algae wafer that has copper in them are my shrimp going to be ok. I have about 500 total
yes they will be fine ,what kind of shrimp do you have ?
Cherry
I'm back
what kind of little bowls are those? They look like petri dishes, maybe?
these were
Just tried a slice of banana in my tank: 20 hours later my water was all cloudy and had a lot of dead shrimps (mostly youngs). Had to do an emergency water change !
Thats a shame what was wrong with the Banana ?
my guppies are eating the banana before the shrimp lol .. yeah i mixed a tank of shrimp and guppy ..i tried the banana but the guppy are jumping on it before the shrimp leaving pretty much nothing lol
I see snails like banana also, its definitely too sugary to feed all the time though
hey is it fine to start a shrimp tank without adding any minerals i am using cycled media from my other tanks
It is but the tank does do better with added minerals :)
Hi Mark! My name is also Mark, I am thinking of starting my own shrimp tank then later planting it and adding some small fish. How do you think I can start out. I actually just bought some ghost shrimp but they are in a small little cage with no filter for now. I also have a banana tree in my front yard, I could use the dried leaves as food?!
Hello Mark ,yes you can use the dried leaves in your tank shrimp love them ,just know though that In my opinion there are no shrimp safe fish ..they will eat any babys your ghost shrimp have so you should really choose shrimp or fish :)
Thanks for answering, will have to choose, I probably would have separate tanks for them. Thanks again!
You are very welcome Mark :)
Whats the name of the moss thats look like pillars at the background?
It will be subwassertang check this playlist th-cam.com/video/aJueVH8Fhqc/w-d-xo.html
What is the name of the red and white shrimp that you first fed the banana?
crystal red shrimp :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank you for your quick responce. I am new to the hobby and will like to own these type of shrimps. Is their anyway I can buy from you once I set up and age my tank? Please!!!
