    Oh I just *loved* those spotted red-heads!
    I am relatively new to this hobby but based on my own experiences so far: I agree with this guy on everything! I feed my shrimp very infrequently, water change even less frequently- and over time, it seems to going very well. With shrimp it really does seem that "stability" is the key.
    My favorite tank right now is also my "wild" tank. I started with a few really good specimens of several different types, and it's been so fun to see the subsequent generations develop cool new color combinations. A shrimp tank does not have to be "profitable" to be enjoyable!

    Wow this guy broke all the rules for keeping Caridina shrimp and still has a massive success, unbelievable! No wonder why his pH is 7.5 after 5 years because that akadama lost all buffering capacity many years ago and he can have the same luck with any inert substrate instead.

      I think a lot of advicefor a lot of fish and inverts runs the overly cautious side. It's been interesting with my personal experiences keeping both otocinclus and neocaridina. No drip acclimation or anything special. Just plop and hope. Little bit of luck I'm guessing. The deaths I've had have mostly occurred from jumping or removal from uplift tubes.

      Eh you will lose a lot of shrimp in the beginning, If u willing to waste your money having your expensive shrimp die go ahead. Because only the strongest shrimp will survive, but the weaker ones will die, so in a sense, you will be wasting some money. However, I dont think I wanna wait for 3 years for my shrimp to adapt to ph7, I dont have the patient to wait for 3 years, I rather just keep them in acidic water so they can do well right away instead of waiting for 3 years for them to adapt and do well, because 3 years is a really long time to wait, that's like 36 months lol.

    Great video. Since there are no heaters in the tanks I was wondering what is the room temperature and what is the water temperature inside the tanks.. I assume that all of them have a lid, and most of them are the aquael or dennerle 20l/30lit tanks.. Also I found interesting that there was a tiny magnet for cleaning the glass in almost (if not all) tanks. I am wondering from which brand is that.

    I kind of wish Chris would have stayed quiet a little more and let the breeder talk. It's not a great interview when the interviewer is trying so hard to show off and give the tour of someone else's animal room.
    There's so much we could have learned here like Cory's interview with Charles Clapsaddle. But it's all cut off, drowned out, and lost to time now. I hope you can go back here some day for a better conversation Cory.
