Mark, I have my first berried female! 🙌🏼 I saw her yesterday and she looked kind of fat to me and I started watching her and saw her fanning the eggs! I was like a kid on Christmas! 🤣
nothing better to see!!
Awesome, yeah I know the feeling a few days ago i have my first berried female too! I totally yelled! haha. But i try not to get too excited yet! still a ways to go. I hope they can grow up though!
@@Alniemi yes exactly! Having a berries female is half the battle! Good luck!
@@BigShrimpin416 I breed NANF Palaemonetes paludosus, so after they berry I have to cross my fingers there's sufficient biofilm and copepods for the larvae (zooeys) to eat for 3 weeks😅
Thanks for the reminder i need some leafs and cholo wood. I used my eye balls 😂
Clover and stinging nestles contain a lot of protein as well. There is loads of stuff you could dry in large quantaties and fix up real easy.
Great video, so refreshing to hear someone just explain clearly and precisely without the arm flapping drama of 'personality presenters' ...
"HEY WORD UP TH-cam" bs.
Lmfao….. genuinely the hardest I laughed all week. When you pulled out the coffee grinder and said that’s my cocaine in there. Omg I was caught so of guard. Hilarious thank you for your humor
It was my cocaine ...kidding !!😂
@@MarksShrimpTanks lmao hey there’s a lot of work to be done…..gotta stay awake somehow 🤣🤣
I've had a baby explosion once again, three berried in the span of a day each fully berried too, i think it's because I put frozen shrimp chunks (cooked) back into the solid food rotation. They sure do like eating flesh, it's nice to see almost the entire population clinging to it, and they. I haven't really put in powdered food recently either since the biofilm is flourishing now that there's a bit more ambient light. I put a solid food in every 3 days with a rotation between a shrimp pellet and an algae wafer
excellent video ive just started a cardina mix bee tank after having a few years off the tank they are in is very mature as it was used for fish before deciedng to go back to shrimp i slowly changes the water from tap to ro again keeping a big batch of snails ... tank now perfect cardinia waters but my shrimp were not feeding i was taking the food out and the reason they were not feeding is because the fully planted tank is so mature with lots of mirofilm they just dont need it yet they are fully happy munching on the stuff in the tank and breeding like mad too ..... this video has put my mind at rest ..... yes i did take out the subtrate too put tropica soil in so glad i did no break the tank down as they love it
ive had orange yellow and red cherry shrimp and the rilis too for over a year. i bought a dozen blue shrimp and 2 ended up being black but one of the females was carrying eggs and they just hatched this week i noticed! i was pretty surprised because the other shrimp i started in a 40 gal and the blues were started in a small 3 gal shrimp starter kit. i have a 20 gal set up for them im just waiting a few more weeks to move them over
Thank you
Much needed and awaited food guide vid Mark, thanks soo muchhh!!!😁
Mark - I've been loving all your videos and of course subscribed! I also explored your website (a great resource of information, by the way!) because I watched several of your shrimp food recipes and was hoping to find those recipes on your website. I did not. So, can you please provide those recipes on your website under the "Shrimp Food" section, perhaps? I've seen your videos on the Duck Weed recipe, the Spinach/Peas/shrimp/salmon recipe, powdered flake food for algae/biofilm, etc... Maybe also mention in your decorations/substrate sections about the cinnamon bark, when to use zeolite, alder cone, etc... Takk skal du ha!
Brilliant mate!!!
Good stuff. Makes me feel better.
It’s so helpful you showing how to tell if they’re hungry or not. I find it much easier with fish so it’s great to have a reference for my shrimp only tank 😁 thank you!
I was thinking about this issue. Thanks, Mark!
great adviced Mark. learn something new every video 🤓👍
Really informative
Explained it very well imo thanks for sharing 💯
Thanks for this video Mark!
My pleasure!
I have deleted my very rude remark. I'm sorry, I'm not normally mean spirited. Deepest apologise. I love your videos and friendly chat, full of knowledge and wonderfully expained. Thank you.
"guys its ok" no worries mate, I am trying to stop sounding repetitive and stuff in my videos anyways so I didnt take it the wrong way. 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks 🤣😂🤣 Don't change, your easy chit chat is great and very relaxing. Thank you. x
Uploaded just in time for my afternoon coffee in the garden, thanks. It is a scorching 17 C here in Denmark, and spring is here🙂
Yeah its awesome isnt it, same in Norway right now 15-20c 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks It sure is🙂
@@Tatersalade we got 5 inches of snow last night.
@@jamiea9067 5 inches = Indore coffee🙂
Great video!! Love to see the differences between species and tanks!
me too 😃
Coccaine, 🤣 I choked on my tea when you said that. THAT'S how you have so much energy to maintain all those tanks LMAO
😁
Love the videos Mark, thanks for taking the time. Do foods that are made specifically made for colorful fish make a difference for shimp's colors? Or are the shimp's color more genetic and habitat dependant?
Hello Mark. Thx for the video. You are teaching way good. Even my english gets better since watching your channel.
First time collecting nettles outside. Boiling and feeding into my Neocaridina tank.
The shrimp love it!
will soon be nettle time here too 👍
Always wondered this, when I kept shrimp they always ate but I wasn’t sure how often to feed them
I wish I could show you mine. I've had Neo's for years; however I've only been keeping Caridinas for a month now. My water is on point. They started getting busy quickly. I have a berried Red Tiger and two PRL's nearly exploding with eggs. 🤙
Great video! I was literally worried about this yesterday and wondered if i was overfeeding. My ghost shrimp are still totally active and eat almost all their food within 3-4 hours. I feed shrimp pellets crushed with fish flakes. Then some intact pellets for the larger mum shrimp. However they don't eat all of the shrimp pellets. Like literally in each pellet there is like %10 of it they leave behind. I wonder if there is some ingredient in the pellet they don't like and eat around it? They are very picky however and don't eat any veggies I put in, many different kinds, blanched or not, they have no interest, even after 2 days so I remove it. But I only have artificial plants in my tank. I get some algae and diatom blooms and they do graze on that. Are my guys spoiled? Or do ghost shrimp just like a higher protein diet? They are all very active and are breeding. But the last batch only one survived to adulthood so I put the babies that were born this week in a breeder net box to try and help keep them from possibly being eaten?
Best feeding video and information, I need to feed less to the Bees and I can feed more to my Neos. Thank You !
Thats it in a nutshell 👍
What if your also breeding rams horns in the same tank is it ok to over feed pellets I feed every day and my snails swarm it all
Love me some shrimp videos, do you have videos on the difference between hard and soft water shrimp
my entire channel is mate? if you mean physical difference you would need a microscope to see the difference.
Good video Mark, learning to read your tanks is so important.
I probably won't be feeding my new panda tank for the first 3 months,
maybe a little white pellet for extra minerals, if they want to eat it.
(just 10 shrimp and a bizillion copepods)
I **love** my copepods.
Built in clean up crew😁
This was really helpful! You’ve clearly mastered the art of shrimp feeding 😁
at last 😂👍
As always, interesting stuff. I feed small ammounts of powder every day. Bacter AE mixed with my own made powder which is primarily powdered nettle with fish food and algae wafers, all milled. Tiny ammounts into a small container, shaken up then added to the water to disperse. They never show great interest in solid food and are breeding well and active. I have CRS, blue neos and amanos. Currently they devour blanched fresh nettles.
Great work dude!
I found that my shrimp weren't interested in solid food due to my over feeding of powder and not making their veggies soft enough.
That was a delightful video, only one humble recommendation: You can turn of the filters to avoid nutrition blast in the tank due to inedible food staying at the filter.
Cheers...
Thanks for the tip!
Merhabalar. Kutunun içindeki toz yemi sen mi hazırlıyorsun? Bu toz yemin içeriği nedir? Neler var içinde?
Java Moss they all nibble splendid !!. supplement food => only 2days AND vegetarian (off course NATURAL, no junk industrial food)
Blanched veggie 1-2 times a week
Bio film situation great so I skip the powder
Omega one color pellets twice a week, just started these but my yellow neos seem to love it, has salmon in it and some other stuff
I could maybe up my feeding, but it’s a small 2.8 gallon that I’m still learning the ropes on, my first shrimp only tank.
Thanks for the vids mark, shout out from Oregon USA
Hey Mark can you give me some tips on what can i do to have crystal clear water on my tank i have just an air punp filter running
In softwater tanks the soil will clean the water, for neo type tanks its just bigger water changes, I do 30%a week in mine.
Hi Mark thanks to help us in keeping shrimp❤️❤️❤️
How many hours do you turn on your shrimp tank's light?
What 🍃 🍂 do you put in to your tanks ?
right now the tanks lights are on for 12 hours a day and Ive stopped using ferts all together.
What are the shrimp @ 16:01?
I m feeding the Caridina very little, maybe once or less every week or so. However i use powder supplements, when i see it's necessary. Powder Supplements (quite different from powder food) in small quantities, keep the soil rich, adds BioFilm, sometimes calcium and other times enzymes. For babies proteins rich powder... For Neocaridina everyday and larger quantities...
Hi I like your videos very much I started shrimps 5 months ago I'm enjoying it, is if OK I got 3 endlers in the tank,? And what is that hard food you give them where can you get it and the name of it thanks 👍🏴
Gino the food isnt so important any pleco type food or catfish food is good enough for shrimp and having a few endlers is fine.
I have Neocaridina RCS only. I feed them twice during the week and 3 times a day during the weekend, because I have more time during the weekend to watch them 😁 🍽️🥦🥒🥕🍂 I put some powdered fish flakes and something solid, sinking. My shrimp tanks are also nursery for my tiny Cory Pandas, so protein food is must have 🦐♥️🐟 I determined the amount of food based on my experience 😎
Thanks for sharing
What are those glass cylinders in the feeding dishes?
watch this it will explain all th-cam.com/video/0QqyDKN-ABE/w-d-xo.html
Anyone know what the grass like plant in the second fed neo tank is?! I bought some thinking it was val and have never been able to figure out what it actually is, but that is exactly the plant I have!
yeah its Val
thanks for the information mark! mark, so as what u said i might to feed my yellow golden back neocardina shrimps every single day. if i feed them everyday... every week how many percent of water should i change? my tank is 60L with 3 sponge filters and almost 40-50 pcs of shrimps inside the tank... thank u!
I do 30% water change in all my neo tanks kim
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank u! unlike beeshrimps they like bigger water change?
oh yes for sure, why , because you can feed them more because of this bigger water change. 👍
From all youtubers, shrimp breaders i watch only your videos. You are simple, closest to my shrimp room and get to all the topics im interesting in. I just love watching your videos. A lot of respect from Germany. Just keep up doing what you love. I wish i had more time to bee with shrimp but damn i work on 100%, barelly keep my shrimps in clean water 😂 naaah, they are just fine, breeding like crazy. 👍💪
Thank you Emil :)
Hallo Mark 🦐 Ich habe eine wichtige Frage zur Zucht der Caridina. Sind die Weibchen als Erste geschlechtsreif? Ich hoffe das kann Einer übersetzen 😁
Google translate is awesome nowadays so you dont have to worry about that now. I would think the males would become sexually ready smaller.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi mark whats the ratio for the food to the shrimps in the tank because i dont have that much shrimps in the tank like yours and i gave em the square food brand ada bee which square bigger than yours and they never finish instead the snails always do also it seems my bee shrimps dont like munching on the soil they grazing on the moss and woods is there something wrong with my soil im using ada amazon v2 😂😂😂
you have to learn to watch the shrimp mate its not about the amounts, feed them when they are hungry.
Ravenous
Whag are those glass inside the feeders?
sotching oxydators mate
What is your Opae Ula salinity?
1.015ppm 👍
Hello Marks, I've been following your channel for a long time, I didn't raise shrimp for a while and I'm coming back, I would like to know what liquid you put in the OXYDATOR?
Could you pass it on to me, because here in Brazil I don't have the original liquid, I would like to ask a chemist to make the solution for me, thank you
Hello sir, its just 3% food grade hydrogen peroxid :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thanks Marks
👍❤👍
Every day feeding solid food is bad Sir?
every tank is different mate
Sorry Mark but yourr camerawork is giving me a headache imposssible towatch for more than a few minutes
Go to a doctor then mate because you are literally the only person to bring that up on my channel ever. 👍😂
