I wanted to make a fun but sustainable setup for my Neocaridina shrimp. So in this video, I show you how I do it. It turned out better than expected and I really like the stripped down look which is the opposite of what I'm used to!

Hey love your videos, Can you make a few videos talking about what combination of fish are good to have in the same tank. New to the fish tank game and not sure what direction I want to go in.
Your videos are amazing. They have given me so many ideas. Have you ever considered a reedfish at all?
Hi. Great tank again. Can you tell me which of the two sizes that filter was please. Got a tank on the way and was looking at these, but not sure if the larger size might take up too much space in the tank! Thank you
tá
Is shrimp good with beta fish my mom buyin me a shrimp for my beta’s 😀-
The only thing I would suggest if you want them to breed is maybe a couple of plants in the back corner. Somewhere for them to moult too and hide whilst vulnerable. Other shrimp may attack and kill then during the moulting process. Plus maybe a couple of water lettuce. My shrimp love the roots of the water lettuce.
I did a bunch of them drift wood trees and packed them with Christmas moss they love them
Red root floater the best
Solid advice
@@liltalent2381 in my experience they prefer water lettuce. The length of the roots allows them hide and forage on the roots. I have lettuce and red root floaters - and mine are consistently on the water lettuce
And a few rock piles. They love hiding in rock piles to have their babies! Plus, lots of biofilm will grow on those rocks too- so they can hide and snack in there too! If you have fist sized (or smaller) of Dragon Stone- they will go crazy playing and eating the biofilm in all the hideyholes!
This is the video I used for my very first shrimp tank. Just a Skittles tank, no fish (at first 😂) just shrimp and snails. Tyvm 👏🏻 👌🏻 👍🏻 love your content!
hey md, have u thought of trying to hatch out some annual killifish eggs? u cld do a whole series of hatching them and raising them up into small but beautiful fish
Looks amazing! I’ve been doing a ton of research cause I want to start my shrimp tank and this is amazing and simple enough! I did read that putting different colored neos together would make them revert their colors to brown…have you seen yours do that? How long have you had them housing together
@@lilbaybt228 I've successfully bred Gardneri in my shrimp tank, started with a pair and now have atleast 4-5 fry, they are so nice!
i think one of the key reasons your videos are great is that you talk with your hands!
I had a dedicated shrimp and snail tank years ago, loved it! Now I want to do it again!!! Loved the time lapse... and the info about the planeria and hydra.
Hey MD! I love your work, you can tell you put a lot of love into it.thank you for taking the time to find all your products for your audience from the US and the UK. Love from Colorado 🐠🐠
Love that you've got a shrimp vid! I've got a tank full of shrimp that I couldn't name but just keep breeding! There's bright blues, yellows and reds and they just keep going! Never intended to keep any but they came with a tank I bought and yeah love em! Great video and another amazing tank!
Shrimp keepers trying to get perfect parameters and setups hate you for this 🤣🤣
Md s right and I like to put mosbols in the tank and stem plants in the back
@@MDFishTanks 😅😅 I'm just sayin 🤷♂️
Usually would be against a tank like this, but after putting red cherries in my heavily planted tank I have loved watching them breed and a tank like this is really appealing. More shrimp videos, please!
I Officially Challenge MD Fish Tank:
Build a low tech ecosystem planted aquarium 24" Length X 6.5" Depth X 9" Height ( either buy or DIY build the tank) only using low light plants from this list, Anubias, Hygrophila, Ludwigia, Bucephalandra & Cryptocoryne...
Stock list is open for you to choose...
I'll be extremely delighted to see this video or atleast hear mention of it in your next video or two...
I'm a big fan, watched every video you have on TH-cam. Your tanks are a big inspiration, keep it up!
Cholla wood from cactus. I have bunch collected from New Mexico. Awesome stuff. Yea you have to boil it or set in water for bit to sink . Same as drift wood. Love your channel. Glad to see you found cholla wood.
Thx for inspiring me to keep fish and planted tanks in 2020 when you had your fish shed. Love your content
Md "I dont wanna get it to clean,just get some crusty off"
Also Md "look at the tank now,crystal clear!"
Hahaha love ya man lol
Great vid. Very informative. Black gravel contrasts well against shrimp. And keeping it sparse allows for good viewing of the little critters.
I've got mixed shrimp in my community tank and I like them a lot but I have also 3 tanks for proper coloured shrimps. Blue Dream, Orange Sakura and Yellow Fire Neon.
Love this shrimp playground 🤗 I’m so going to try it one of these days 🌸
I agree MD! I love snails! They do so much work for me, and I never have to buy anymore, just transfer some to a new tanks and let them multiply! If you keep your glass clean they aren’t obnoxious at all. And truly if you give them time they will overpopulate, and then dwindle off to a good amount for the tank. LOVE snails. 🐌
Hey MD I breed neocaridina shrimp in just about all of my tanks. One good thing I have success with is to feed them bloodworms one every two weeks. It’s seems to induce breeding in my tanks. I also use Shrimp King food and especially their baby food when I see little ones running around. This is so they all can have a nibble due to large ones hogging the big food. I have over 100 in one of my 10 gallon tanks.
Hey MD & all. It has been a very long time since I have been in the hobby. I used to have ghost shrimp & I loved them. I had no idea there were so many different colors & all. Really enjoyed this vid! I think I am going to have to get myself a shrimp tank going ASAP!
Thankyou for this MD, you've inspired me to bring my 2ft tank out the fish shed and into the house (the mrs isnt impressed😂), hoping to do a mixed community tank, including neocaradina of course, already breeding nicely in there!
keep up the cracking vids mate!
cheers
aaron
I've been binge-watching your vids recently, absolutely love them!
I´ve been breeding Neocaridinas for 6 years now (started just like you, got some and they kept getting more)
They love heavy flow!
They love rocks with many many cracks and hides!
And they love big gravel! (the tiny babys hide in the gaps of the gravel)
The more gaps and gravel they have the more babys will get through.
Always here for the next one. Nice shrimp tank MD
Love your channel and i have watched pretty much everyone! Your knowledge helps me and i get inspiration along with enjoying your humor. I have finally ordered a Hoodie and i am super excited to get to wear it. Thank you!
MD. my wife loves this set up, she says it looks like 3 big haired people sat round a camp fire. :)
The wood is cholla wood, pronounced like choya. I love the stuff, its a cactus that comes from the Mojave desert area and it’s also called jumping cactus. Not fun to pry off from you or your dogs butt, one bad memory lol
Makes a great piece for pretty much any type of enclosure
Happy new year sir 👍
Thanks for shopping on Amazon you are keeping me employed :)
This is just what I needed this morning.
im getting neocaridina shrimp soon!this video was very helpfull
AND I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Always makes my day better when you post
I have never been interested in shrimp, but this kind of makes me want to think about them.
I use that exact filter on all my tanks and it is great
i have inspired in your tanks and iv made my first planted aqurium! im still puttin plnats in there byt its getting beautifull!
My acara eat snails as well. Good vacation feed for them! I have A 2.5 gallon tank just for plants and snails to feed them
I absolutely love your tanks n videos, MD. Keep growing and I wish you success✌️Love from India.
Love that style of tank. Cool change of pace for ya!
This tank is so fun! I love shrimp I could watch this tank for hours
Love it! Im in the process of setting one up atm
tiger shrimp( caradina) also thrive in the same parameters as neo caradina.
edit: if you want a successful shrimp breeding tank, having just a pile of big rocks for the shrimp to hide in is highly reccomended.(your lava rocks are too spread out for them to hide in while the molt) and if you put any floating plants in like hornwort or water lettuce, they do like to spend time near the surface too.
love the work !
Excited about this tank. I want to set up a shrimp tank.
I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your quality work
Great video , I love shrimp
I've been watching you and I love how enthusiastic you are about everything. Your happy is infectious! I have been researching and watching videos like crazy because I want to get into aquascapong. I thought I had a solid plan with starting with dwarf gourami, but now I wonder if starting off with shrimp will be better/less expensive? I'm not sure.
Wow I love simple set up but look so Coooll
Your plants are just amaaaaaazing.
Love it! Very clean set up!can't wait for the next video
Hey MD. The row of small tanks look like they have have a small gap between at the bottom and touching at the top. This suggests the shelf is bowing and will be applying pressure on the glass.
Worth a check 😅
Because of you, I built my first ever aquarium 3 days ago. Love your content.
I still don't know how you get a crystal clean water look in a tank. I followed your advice to the teeth and my water still looks a tiny bit white-ish / cloudy.
Thanks for teaching so much btw. I am addicted to your content!
Love from Amsterdam!
Be patient. Your tank is still cycling for a few weeks.
@@vEGan1909 MD's tank look so clean from the beginning. I dont know how he achieves that.
Love that you called it the Shrimp Playground X3
Love the simple tank so you can see all the shrimp! Also interesting to see pleneria, now I know what to look for. Would you be able to go over your water change system including the tap attachment sometime? I'm having no success trying to do something similar 😂 as always, love the video!
no probs. The tap attachement is just one that screws onto the tap. most taps have an end cap that unscrews and this attachment then screws onto that and has your standard garden hose male end. then its just some garden hose and an old filter inlet pipe to hook over the tank. I get the right temperature buy mixing the hot and cold to the right level (my tap is both temperatures mixed into one). Hope this helps.
@@MDFishTanks thanks!! How do you do the start/stop with an app?
@@MDFishTanks Out of interest what is the tap waters TDS reading that you use?
Impressive posting, most enjoyable!
Awesome, I just wish I could keep plants alive, my tap water ph is too high! Great work champ.👍
This video has really made me want to keep shrimp now!
Love your videos MD . Epic as always. Also got a timmy t-shirt for Xmas. Its awesome love it. Can't wait to get another .
I love all your designs man! Very creative!! Gotta love the dad jokes too lmao and how socially awkward you get on your videos ❤️ keep up the amazing work!
New subscriber to the channel. Love the video, always wanted to keep shrimp and now I know how. Thank you
Happy new year to the best fish keeping channel on the internet
this man is just DROWNING in rimless tanks
I think I ordered the same filter 🙂 coming tomorrow
Another great Video! keep up the hard work mate!!
Love shrimp only tanks that are not super heavy planted just for the,reasons you mentioned, you can watch the tank and see clearly what they are doing day or night.
👍❤👍
I love the simplicity of this tank, what I would give to be able to have shrimp. Well done MD keep up the awesome work!
I have that exact same filter from Amazon and it's a major love/hate with it. I took it out of my big tank, cleaned it and packed it up. I'm curious to see how well it works in a shrimp tank.
MD many planarian treatments also kill snails. Keep an eye on them for die-off that could cause an ammonia spike and maybe pull a few snails and put them in a storage tank while treating the main shrimp and snail tanks.
I like the shrimp set-up! Should be fun to watch their numbers grow 😁
Cool video, the unboxing was very funny!
Nice stuff mate awesome 👍🏻🌱🐠🇦🇺
Good work MD. Just one thing no plan area are a very strong indication of over feeding. When I saw the amount of food you put in I thought but when you showed that you have planaria as well, that confirmed it. Have a watch of the channel marks shrimp tanks. He is pretty much a shrimp expert and has some great videos on how to feed the correct amount. He has tanks with far more shrimp than in yours, but feeds way less. 👍👍 I look forward to seeing the progress of this tank.
Very nice setup, enjoy your videos a lot. It just inspired me to re-do some of my tanks which I wasn´t happy with.
Regarding the planaria: I also got planaria in one of my "shrimp only" tanks. There are coming up a lot of baby shrimp so I´m not to concerned about those planaria.
What I do though, is, I suck em off when changing the water so thats how I keep the population a little bit under control.
i didnt need a new youtube crush but here we are
Haha I loved it when you vacuumed out the tank. Awesome set up though
I love that.
I’ve been binging your shrimp videos and now I want a shrimp tank so bad 😭🦐❤️
Great tank !
very beautiful bro pet shrimp and aquarium where the way to arrange it is very beautiful isn't it wow... 👍🏻
you can dim the lighting, helps with breeding
you can also harvest some rain water helps encourage breeding
I always use panacur c for hydra and planaria. I always remove nerites but my bladder, ramshorn, and trumpet snails all do fine. As do my shrimp. Just dosed my apisto and pygmy Cory tank without issue!
MD: I‘m just going to take whatever is in there and transfer it over to this tank
me: including planaria 🤔😂
literally what I thought when I edited it 🤣
19:44 you need some support for that shelf as I can see it's bending, that is why those two tanks touch each other on top :) Love the video btw :)
Such a hyped music for painting walls 😂
Love the tank MD ! My oldest shrimp past away today 😢.
Love the Shimp’s love the tank too 💯💯💯💥💥💥✨✨✨💪💪 from Sean from Austin tropicals from Chicago
"A new form has emerged!". I have a feeling MD is or once was a Dragonball Z fan! Great vid as always!
Shrimpin' Ain't Easy! 🦐
a lot of these planaria removers are known to kill snails too, maybe remove the snails for a while just to make sure they don't die✌
I've used this one in tanks with snails before and had no problem so should be all good...fingers crossed.
Love your content... 😍😍
"And I got [ ... ] and I got [ ... ] ... I don't know if it's any good but I got excited!"
Very relatable LOL
I love your videos and every one makes me hungry to start up one. I have two tanks empty but all my gold fish live outdoors in two large farm animal water tanks. I have no access to fresh water fish because of covid. The small "pet store" is a joke and it is a hundred miles to any other places. I know it is possible to buy online but would prefer to see in person. But in the meantime i watch your wonderful set ups and that is always a big treat.
Hey just a tip! Btw if you boil the wood for roughly 15 minutes it sinks almost instantly. It does remove some of the good tendons that the shrimp love but it is well worth it as it kills anything that is on it from wherever it came from
Your fish room is wild
Woo hoo I love snails too!
Love your channel! It’s inspired us to setup our first tank, which will be for shrimps. I would love to see more about shrimp water parameters and long term maintenance? Also the planaria treatment you mentioned is still for sale in the UK, on Amazon 😉 would you recommend a pre-treatment before we put our shrimps into the new tank? It’s only a week old so we are waiting for at least 4-5 weeks to mature it before putting any livestock in. TIA
I got inspired today to do my own just shrimp tank. Sounds silly but never had the idea in my 30 years of haveing aquariums.
Definitely a perfectionist you must clean a lot
I'd really like to see those bristlenose plecs please MD!
I did a 50 breeder and bought 20 of each color and put neons in with them
I got 2 of the feeder tubes for Christmas
Very nice and love from Bangladesh
Well done mate I'm assuming you know that if you mix the different coloured shrimp together they will revert back to brown with the odd exception keep up the good work
I’ve used a chrysanthemum-based product like that that kills planaria, but it kills snails too. Maybe something to double check or keep an eye on
