- Hi guys. On this episode I'll be making shrimp super food!! Spirulina is one of the oldest life forms on Earth. In fact, this blue-green microalgae is partly responsible for producing the oxygen in the planet's atmosphere that billions of years ago allowed the planet's originating life forms to develop. Spirulina is the world's first superfood, and one of the most nutrient-rich foods on Earth.

Big hint: Trader Joe's Super Green goodness powder is chock full of human consumption grade spirulina and chlorella algae and other found leaves from nature good for shrimp and fish. Can use any of mark's tasty recipes with super lollies etc. thanks for the inspiration Mark!!!
Thanks Mark great idea 💡 👍🏾
Love this video, thank you very much!
Hi Mark, I've just had a go at making these bad boys and there have turned out great just need to let them dry now, the wife was not to happy with the smell though lol. Cheers for sharing another great idea.
Brilliant sorry was just curious can’t stop watching🤟.
You are a life saver and good man i thank u
No problem 👍
Thank.s for yr time and effort on this vid and other.s....i just made some there drying..cant wait to try them out..gotta love those shrimpie.s..cheer.s ron.
Love yr channel and im subbed..
Loving your channel as always, it’s very informative and a great atmosphere.
Great video as always 😊
Excellent video! I greatly appreciate all your hard work.
No fuss, no frills, just all your knowledge straight to us viewers.
I stopped watching another less experienced brit a long time ago when he accidently killed all his fish in one of his tanks. I don't want to learn that and it actually made me sad.
The viewers on YT are all in different stages of aquatic madness and I believe you attract us who's had aquarium forever and look for development in the hobby as well as ways of doing that little extra for the inhabitants.
Please stay active, we love your dedication and passion for the hobby!!
Best regards from the forests of Sweden!
Mark.
Awsome videos!
Cant stop watch your channel and do it a few times a day.
You are a werry good at it and the time and effort you lay down say it all.
Autum here in Sweden now and im going to follow your guidens for the care of my prawns ;)
Cherryred shrimps.
You r the best!
That’s soooo amazing
Brilliant little video, roughly what ratio of water to spirulina would you use? I've only got 4 shrimp at the moment and just a 30gram bag of spirulina just to try out with them, so don't want to start off with more water than I have enough powder to make the paste. Also, do you think this would work with egg white instead of water like you used to get the powdered nettle to stick on to the shrimp trees in one of your other vids?
Hi Mark.... just about to make these now.... did you dechlorinate the boiling water? and how much boiling water did you use for 100g of Spirulina?
cheers. xx
I add spirulina powder directly to tank to ensure shrimplets have access to really good powdered food absolutely all over my tank
Just add it straight into the water? Might have to try that out
@@reeceh1177 yep same here just a tiny bit or it will turn ur tank green lol
I just made them today and left them to dry! Thanks for this video!
Hi, Mark's Aquatics
Can I ask for ingredients for make super food for shrimp?
Mark, how did you turn it into a paste? Did you just add water and mix or is there anything else added. Thank you
Good video, been trying to get it might have to try Carmarthen store, Cardigan store never had any. I'm not sure if I am aloud to say the stores name lol. Thank you Mark. 👍🏻⭐️
Great video Mark, thank you for sharing. Can I ask how long the Spirulina will last in the tub you've mixed it in or do you use it up in one go?
Does boiling water and boiling nettles remove any goodness?
Will spirulina contaminate the water if not removed entirely after feeding?
I'm not into shrimp except on my plate LOL sorry...but I think this is fascinating. You take such good care of all your living creatures. How long do these shrimp typically live for? They are so beautiful. And your videos are so informative.
Thank you.The shrimp can live about 2 years if kept in good conditions 🍤😱
i already have spirulina for my brine shrimp and apple snails atleast it will have a better purpose when i get my blue velvet shrimp.
You could use chunks of lava rock too I am guessing if you dont want it to float.
Hi Mark, Great video as always. Do you use bee pollen to feed your shrimps?. I have some and was wondering if you could make something similar with pollen.
Hi Larry. Yes i feed my shrimp pollen it's fantastic stuff. Its something i might look into for a future diy. 👍😀
What a great idea! I will definitely try this, Mark. Would you know if this will work with tablets that are crushed? I cant seem to find any powdered ones at the moment in my health food store.
They should be ok, just check the ingredients and check it's 100% spirulina👍😀
Hi Mark, is this spirulina stick good for fishes also in a planted tank? And another question, have you put nettle leaf in the shrimp tank after drying or straight in after plucking it, why I am asking is because nettle leaf stings us human, wont they also sting the shrimps too?
Yes. spirulina is a good all round food. After blanching or boiling nettles the formic acid is destroyed so will not sting.👍😀
I was wondering the same.@@MARKSAQUATICS
Hi Mark another grate blog nice one m8, Mark I have a on going problem with seed shrimp way to many, any ideas how I can get rid, I have 135L shrimp tank,
What i've done in the past is syphon them out into a fine sieve over a bucket and then return the water to the tank so you don't upset the balance ok.👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS
Thats exactly what im doing now lol into filter whool to trap them, then water back into tank, but its like im fighting a loosing battle m8 so many ??
Well I've told you before I am definitely a shrimp novice I'm just curious how do you have so many different varieties in one tank and they don't breed each other in two different types and colors? Or are these just all one sex? Or is that what people do if you mix a yellow with a black and white did they come out next or one or the other?
What’s that thing called in your tank the bowl thing with the glass tube with air in and are they essential for a shrimp tank as I’m new to this I have everything thing else. By the way great video I nearly bought some of these then I saw you make them and I already have some sprinula powder thank you
It's called an oxydator. You don't need them they just add extra oxygen to the aquarium. You fill them with hydrogen peroxide 6% food grade.
Once dried out, how do you store these? I'm asuming all the ones you made don't go in a tank at one. Do they also go in the fridge, plastic food bag or tub?
same question here
Another brilliant video mark.
May I ask if i could bake them in the oven to speed up the harden/dry up process ? if yes, how long should i bake them.
I tried to make the pad type of foods with the idea from your previous idea but even though i let it dry off by itself for 3-4 days , it's still soft and not solid and not being able to sink .. any idea why ?
No i just let them air dry. As for the sheet food if you put it in between some kitchen towel and microwave that will speed things up, but keep checking as they get hot very quickly . 👍😀
Thanks Mark but do you know it floats ? Is it because too much of water or it's just not dry enough ?
Just make sure when your making the dough you really squeeze all the air out and compress it as much as you can ok..
noted with thanks mark! :)
Hi Mark did you blanch the nettles or drop it in raw, and could they live on things like that for a week. Many thanks. Absolutely lovely shrimp. And your big girl is lovely, but she was saying no don't let them see my belly lol 😂 👍🏻⭐️
Yes. I put boiling water in a pyrex jug, put the nettles in the microwave for 2 minutes let them cool and put them in the tank.
MARK'S AQUATICS Thank you Mark, it's ok I'm getting nervous the days are flying by 😱😱 👍🏻⭐️
It'll be ok. You'll be back messing about with your aquariums before you know it.👍😀
Hello Mark, thanks for the video. I just bought Zazzee Organic, natural and non-GMO Spirulina to make these; just found out that in a tablespoon it contains 427 micro-grams of copper. Will this be detrimental to my shrimp?
No it's fine there's copper in most things in minute quantities. Most fresh greens like spinach contain copper but just trace elements.
Hi Mark, just a query, when you set up the trickle filter tank, you put a precycled sponge and media in it. How long was it before you could put the shrimp in? I’ve done similar with another tank, and the ammonia and nitrites are 0, nitrates 0.25. It’s been set up for a week and has plants and lots of snails in it. There’s a big trickle filter (it’s an Aqua one 850) in it that was not used, so I’ve got that running, and a really big sponge filter with a chamber under the power head full of ceramic noodles, which has been running for some years, although we had to turn it off to move the tank. It was off for several hours, but left in tank water. I’m going to put dwarf puffers and Khuli Loaches in it, not shrimp.
I waited two weeks before it settled down. If your putting fish in you should be fine, just add them slow and keep tests and regular water changes going. 👍😀
Thanks, you’re a ⭐️
Hi mark. Could you do a similar thing for otocinclus on a stone instead of a stick?
Yes once it's mixed you can coat what ever you like with it. 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS amazingly fast reply! Do you have any tips on spawning otocinclus? I currently have them in a heavily planted tank with pygmy corydoras and they're all doing well but it'd be nice to have some breeding success.
Hi Mark..I just wondering can I put this spirulina powder into my freshwater shrimp larvae??
Yes you sure can. 😀👍
That larvae age around 5day..
How long can these stay in the tank before they need to be removed?
Hi Stacy. I leave mine in until they're gone. But it depends on how many shrimp you have. if you don't have many make smaller sticks. :)
How did he turn it into a paste?
Water mix its easy
I'm gonna make some of those - I have the Spirulina powder so I just need to get the sticks!
Mark, what do you use to make the nettle leaves sink? When I put leaves (or cucumber) in my fish tanks I usually use a strip of lead, a spoon or one of those screwcumber things... but they are all metallic so I can't use them with the shrimps.
Hi mark where do you get your tank silicone from.
Mostly from Ebay.
how do i store these after i make them?
Hi In a airtight container :)
Hi Mark, where do you buy the Spirulina? I live in Wales but that size package is £6.
The wife got mine from a health shop. Not sure how much it was but £6 seems about right. There's loads in a bag and will last for months.
Just got one from Aldi. £2.49 Not the same make this one Foodie Market 100grams
Excelant 👍😀
Hi mark just wondering what you do for your main job 🤪.
I run my own coral shop.😀👍
Isn't too much protine not good for shrimps ???
Hi. I tend to feed these once or twice a week. Shrimp are scavengers by nature so keep a varied diet and you'll be fine. don't just feed spirulina ok.👍😀
So does incest not matter when breeding shrimp? Are inbred shrimp not a thing or a problem?
