War wieder eine Freude zu sehen Mark 👌👍🦐🙏
Have an awesome Sunday and stay safe #SHRIMPFAM 👍🥳
And to you and yours as well.
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m a newbie and I want to start line breeding . I think I’ll start with Bloody Mary‘a or blue dreams . I have to learn the different names. Thanks again, SandyO from central Florida where the rockets go off!! 😋
I love selective breeding! Been wanting to start another tank so that I can have the opportunity to selectively breed.
I definitely understand the tank space issue. I have 250 gallon, a 25 gallon tub and I just purchased a used 20 gallon. I have fish in with my shrimp, but that’s with the tub and the new tank are going to be for. Separating fish and shrimp.
I love Selective shrimp breeding

ilove the selective breeding...
been keepeng shrimp for 5months now..to bad to hard to buys shrimp here in philippines especially caridina type...its not available...hopefully i can breed shrimp like that in the future...👌👌
I'm in Indonesia near Philippines, yep not too hard to get caridina here, lots of them, but low grades, for very high grade, need some connections with some importer or hobbyst 🙂
Love the Mark's Shrimp Tank shirt!!! How can i get my Shrimpy hands on one!
check the description my friend
I love selective breeding......beautiful.....stay safe......💯
i love selected breeeding
I love selective breeding. 💗
I love selective breeding. Helllo from NC USA!
I love selective breeding 🦐😍
Hey!!! I'm the speccy fella round here! Suits you sir!
I never get used to wearing them even though my vision is pretty bad in one eye
@@MarksShrimpTanks my left eye is awful.. and wonders off from time to time..🤨
@@MarksShrimpTanks You'd pull a monocle off like a champ...
I love selective breeding. Stay safe!
Hi Sir,,,did you use co2 for your planted tanks?thanks
i love selective breeding so much
@Marks Shrimp Tanks do you have any videos talking about those bricks in your tanks? I have not had any luck finding something similar in the US!
no they are just bricks my friend, hiding places and possible iron leeching from the red clay.
I love selective breeding, but also a good culling.
Because I love selective breeding, I’ve been thinking about getting a second tank. Do you think a 2.5 gallon (9.5 liter) tank is a big enough size for a colony?
I keep shrimps since 2 years and fishes since 15 years. I'm not brave enough to use tanks smaller than 30l. Smaller tanks are difficult to keep safe and stable environment for habitants. The best tank for beginners is 50-60l imho.
I love selective breeding. What is the substrate in that blue bolt tank? Wish you shipped your shrimp to where I live, you have some amazing varieties.
its called akadama and no I dont ship shrimp, if you live in Europe then maybe in a few months when it warms up
I love selective breading
I love selective breeding!
I’m starting back up with neos. In a 10 gal tank but out of 13 neos I’ve only found 2 females. Will they breed with this ratio?
Love your work mate !
What is the cam you are using for your macro footage :)
Hello Luke its an olympus tough tg-4 it has a great macro function, you should be aware this is not the newest version thats the tg-6 now
Thank you so much :)
When you have it in macro mode do you have a macro lens on or is that the camera on its own ?
By the way
I love selective breeding 😝
My shrimp don't seem to be interested in shrimp pellets they just want to feed off the Java ferns is this a good indication of a lot of biofilmin the tank
have you ever managed to breed a shrimo that has red ans blue splotches? thats what kind of shrimp im trying to find or breed
I dig those bricks with the holes. Do you make those or buy those somewhere???
they are just house bricks, I got lucky with them here as they were left over new bricks from when the house was built.
I love selective breeding! Seriously 🦐
I am still learning but I love selective breeding
at what age do you recommend to start picking out the less coloured ones? i got 80+ small ones ( like 3 weeks old) neo yellowbacks (neocaridina) but some smaller ones seems to be more white then yellow. do they colour when they grow to adult?
for young ones its easier when you have a lot to compare against, remove the least colored ones :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thanks for the tip =]
what is that brown brick type thing in your tank?
its a brick, shrimp hide in it
18:44 what kind of camera is that?
I love selective breeding
Do you sell the shrimp that are selected out or do you just keep them for your general enjoyment or as a pool for potential new projects?
sometimes I do but not until its warmer.
I love selective breeding! What should I breed my Tangerine Tigers with?
whatever you like Bonnie, what other shrimp do you have ?
@@MarksShrimpTanks Redc Cherry Neocardinia and Blur Rilis. The Blue Rilis are presently in with the Tangerines since I know they won't interbreed. But I would rather stick with Caridinia. A couple of my Tangerines are berried so I want to mix something with their genes.
I bought a Taiwan Bee Starter Pack
with Five (5) Black King Kong and Panda Mix, Five (5) Red King Kong and Panda Mix, and Five (5) Regular Blue Bolts! So I'll mix them with the Tangerine Tigers and start on the way to making Galaxys!
I just got 5 red crystal shrimps 3 weeks ago and today I noticed there are about 20-30 baby shrimps now in the same tank. Any tips to keep them alive and safe?
Hello Ben, yes the bibggest tip I can give you is to drip your water changes back into the tank, I do 10% a week
Mark, if you find a perfect specimen that has been bred in your cull tank, would you ever put it back in your original tank?
I would yes because I dont sell shrimp, if you sell shrimp then its not a good idea.
What is suitable food for cherry shrimps
lots of pre prepared foods on the market, good home grown foods include stuff like spinach, kale, greenbeans etc
What tips do you have for selective breeding?
best tip would be get as many tanks as possible for it, honestly I am putting shrimp into a mixed bee tanks that should be going into there own breeding tanks just because I dont have space and I have 22 tanks I think.
Marks Shrimp Tanks Excellent thanks! I don’t have a dedicated shrimp room because of my small house, but I manage to keep two aquariums (a five gallon and a 2.5 gallon). As for shrimp, i only keep cherries and amanos at the moment but I want to try out with blue dreams and yellow shrimp, as well as green lace filter shrimp.
Your video explained it perfectly, in fact, it also taught me how to use a feeding dish for shrimp, and I’m interested in getting one. I was also wondering: could you use one of those little plastic containers that hang of the aquarium, and keep two shrimp of opposite sexes and desirable traits in there? Would this provide offspring of similar traits?
Anyways, thank you for this great video and your comment reply!
I love selective breeding, but as you say space is a problem, would it not be an idea to reduce the size of your bigger tanks by say half to get you more tanks in the same space, i do know bigger is usually better for stable water parameters,, but your always keeping an eye on things.
I need a new house :D
I don’t know how you get that green algae growing. Even your feeding dish have algae..love it
More light means more algae
Length of time or intensity? How long do you keep the lights on?
I love selective breeding. Stay safe and healthy. Ps what snails do you have in your tanks?
If you dont mind losing plants they are called Marisa snails :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks they're big snails which can eat plants, I read it on your website, but I think you use them to convert plants to be your shrimp food ? Because the waste from snails surely can be digested by shrimps.
I love selective breeding
Only way to improve the lines
Hey mark how you doing? I am the one who had problem with bacter ae few days ago. I managed to save some of my OEBTs by H2O2 and wanted to thank you for that. But i still see 2 to 3 shrimps dead since two days ago. I seems that they have necrosis on their cheek on carapace. Do you think i should do anything about it or not?
Unfortunately i contacted the glas garten company i talked to the CEO but seemed he had no clue about shrimp keeping and theeir product either. He adviced me to use antibiotics, can you believe that? 😂
You are welcome, I would remove anything thats sick and I find it very hard to believe they dont know anything about it because its a know issue.
@@MarksShrimpTanks unfortunately they refused to accept it was them. I have 11 tanks and after using it in all my tanks i had deaths. How could it be anything else when it happened 11 times!
Any way just wanted to say that you the best. Everytime i have notification from you i get excited. 😂
@@MarksShrimpTanks if you are willing i can send you my emails with the CEO so you can be sure. Just name me a way to... like whatsapp
@@MarksShrimpTanks by the way i would really love to see videos about other remineralizers like shrimp king gh+ and.... i find shrimp king quality really satisfying.
Mark you know “I Love selective breeding”!
Hi i think the code is g-loc 😁
When are your shrimp online for sale
not sure my friend, this covid thing has thrown everything up in the air
What do you do with all the shrimp you don't want
They go to a special place called the Tatersalde rehoming center, I dont kill my shrimp.
Is there a type of shrimp that is half white and half blue?
Ok thats what blue bolt is.
mark, have you ever got a dragonfly nymph hitchhiking and somehow enter your shrimp tank? i just hunt them down, and found 2, but im afraid i still have some hiding..
Lol fist tank raising cherry shrimp, nope raising dragonflies feeding them shrimp dinner every night.
Never seen them Stephen.
owh mannnn.... i think I've took em all out... but still can't rest my mind about it 🤣🤣
@@stonedDawg keep looking. I looked for days after I got 3 out came home to Dr flying in apt. Next day same thing. They are camo experts. Take a probe "chop stick" and tickle the bottom drive them out so you can see them. I got 9 out total.
Hi mark. Just a question about breeding. Can you breed the same baby shrimp from the same mother together, or is this called inbred breeding. Would you be able to do a video on explaining it to us. Is inbred breeding ok or not.
yeah it can and will happen, normally you are meant to move all young out the tank at 1cm .
I love selective breeding.
why so against the word "cull" all of a sudden?
cull has always meant kill to me and for years I have meant to stop saying it because I dont kill my shrimp
shrimp ugenics by mark Führer
hahahahahahahaha
Why do you want to stop using the word cull? It's the legitimate word for what you're doing. What we all do. Culling doesn't mean slaughtering, we all know you don't kill the culls. They live in the Shangri La tub.
Oooookay I just filtered through the comments while the video ran...it's the special phrase. You worried me, I thought you were going all PC Pansy or fodder for the algorithms LOL!!
In my head I'm thinking 'selective breeding' sounds way ruder than culling LOLOL!
You do know you are giving the other shrimp an inferiority complex and even teeny tiny bouts of depression. Shame on you mr Scottish man...SHAME I SAY!
