Hello Mark-san; 🇳🇴🇯🇵
“I am a 92 year old Japanese man in Tokyo and my family and I are big fans of your shrimp keeping style, science, knowledge and art behind your methods”
Mr Kentaro goes on to say:
“I am getting old now and you are one of the final TH-camrs I will watch before old age gets to me and I pass on from this mortal world to the afterlife.
I hope this comment is never forgotten even when I am gone, when only my history remains and my flesh has gone back into the dust it was created out of.
Thank you for all the good memories you have provided to my family watching your content over the years.
My son has opae ula, caridinia, sulawesi and Japanese mayonnaise shrimps thanks to you”

92!!! Please say hello to Mr. Kentaro for me. Thank you for taking the time to pass on that wonderful message. I really appreciate comments like this. Thank you. 🙂
Always a vibe when we see a new post 🎉
I'm really loving this new format of yours! When I dive into Caridina Shrimp, hopefully within this year, these videos will be excellent references, as they contain a wealth of knowledge.
Thank you Andy

Mine are definitely more attracted to mulberry leaves.
It's still early Saturday morning here, but happy to catch your upload! I just acquired a small countertop reverse osmosis system for my Crystals; our local water is quite hard, so far the new system's water been helping keep things stable, and the shrimps don't have to put up with me dickering with their parameters quite so often. Also, Lucy's ADORABLE!❤
Hello Corq yeah all you need is a small unit, I still have the guts of my first unit making my water today, have a great weekend.
Thanks!
Thank you for the super 👍😃
Always nice to wake-up with your soothing content, thank you for the birthday congratulations, hopefully we can celebrate many more.
I hope so too!👍
What an added bonus on a horrible Saturday morning in Scotland as it rains as per usual! Great to see your wee face and craic! 😊🏴
Its absoluetly peeing it down here too.... summer time is here here .. 🤣
@@MarksShrimpTanks I think summer has been and gone this year we had maybe 5 days of just sun rest has been rain! And not so bloody warm some days either 😫
I am ok with rain, I just hate those days you cant go outside because the sun is so strong. 🤣
@@MarksShrimpTanks 🤣🤣🤣
I like using banana leaves for my shrimp tanks
Good choice
My reasoning behind this is mostly the tannins. The banana leaves leach almost no tannins
Nice pH meter Mark, I need to buy same one for myself
Yeah its not so exspensive now 👍
What is the name and how to set up
Milwaukee pH Meter MW101 PRO
www.aquaristikshop.com/aquaristic/Milwaukee-pH-Meter-MW101-PRO/828040/?aff=421683
They are really easy to use, they come calibrated and with calibration solutions, its basiclly a 1.2.3 step by step way to calibrate.
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank for your reply mark you always bring to us interesting products!
Ooohh mark has a tattoo . . .
I know right, people watching in Japan now think I am a criminal. 😬🤣
@@MarksShrimpTanks I've always thought this . . . Witness protection programme in Norway 🤫🤫🤫your secrets safe with me Mark
Dear Mark, love the new format. Have you checked local nurseries for Walnut trees selected to survive in your area? It’s saved me precious time and money since I moved to SW England. ✌️
Yes I have, sometimes they have them but not just now, there is also a facebook group dedicated to growing this typr of tree in Norway which I have been reading a lot of.
Great! You can bet commercial walnuts are grown in much more favourable climes ✌️
as far as I know, Sera and JBL pH minus use sulfuric acid as their acid, not HCl
any source, I cant find much on it...
the jbl bottle says so on it. I don't remember where i saw the Sera one, but it's more than likely also sulfuric acid. You want sulfate ions/salts in the water much more than chlorid.
Hi Mark! - in your opinion, with a healthy amount of leaf litter, would you think a well established tank running for over a year would be fine without feeding for 2 weeks? or would you advise on maybe a weekly feeding?
feeding weekly is just for breeding, plenty of people I know have added a decent amount of leaves to the tank and went on holiday fopr a few weeks, I ve done it myself.
Hello Mr. Mark. I'm Pio from the Philippines. I have a question regarding my shrimps.
Is it okay to mix all different kind of colors in one big aquarium? I'm planning to set up a planted/shrimp tank. It makes me wonder if it would hurt the shrimps if I mix them all 😅
Hey Mark. Do you know if maple leaves are safe to put in a shrimp tank?
Ive used dry brown leaves before but not green.
Do you think I could use green leaves and prepare them as you prepare nettles or spinach?
What is the purpose of acidifying (is that a word) the water change water? Is it to improve the longevity of buffering soil so it has less work to do? From my experience RO water exposed to air acts like a sponge and 'sucks in' co2 and by doing so concerts that to carbonic acid and lowers ph. I use fulvic and humic acids in similar forms to yourself but for those specific acids as present in the shrimp natural environment rather than as a ph changer (although I appreciate that they do) Great video by the way
It should make your soil last longer because its not having to buffer new water and the longer you can keep the ph low the better for the shrimp.
@@MarksShrimpTanks I inadvertently do that already, but don't test the water change water's ph (ill start to) I've just always added a powdered (or liquid) humic and fulvic acids solution as per instructions on the product. They are designed for shrimp
@@MarksShrimpTanks I've just moved RO water from outside to inside storage, and my RO was reading 5.5ph as is.
Can leaves stay in forever or they need to be swapped out after a while? Ty
The shrimp will eat them until there is nothing left.
do you still do 10% water changes with pure ro water now and then when you see a creep in tds? Or have you stopped doing water changes completely?
Ive stopped them completly unless i have an issue.
@@MarksShrimpTanks so even if you have a tds creep from like 120 to about 140 you won’t do a water change with ro to bring the tds back down? Sorry just saw that in one of your recent videos
I dont do anything stability seems to be more important than tds creep, I have a friend whos tanks are in the 400 range and he breed thousands of shrimp, key is in the sparse feeding so you are not polluting the tank.
@@MarksShrimpTanks So when you’re setting up a new tank. Will you just remineralise the water to 120tds and then there on after just top off with ro
Hay mark can you tell me what ph meter that is thanks
This one www.aquaristikshop.com/aquaristic/Milwaukee-pH-Meter-MW101-PRO/828040/?aff=421683
Mentions in the video buddy. Milwawkee. I use Apera, massively changed my keeping with a decent meter. Likewise I use water in the cap for a minute to stabilize the reading. EDIT: I commented as Mark did
@@gbeeshrimp thanks mate 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank you

If they are the same type then yes go for it, are they neos or?
@@MarksShrimpTanks I think they are of the same type cause I got them from the same breeder.
