I’ve had a colony of neocaridina for about three years now. After seeing this, I’ll be getting caridina shrimp for my other tank when it’s open. For now it houses a very ill-tempered and very not shrimp-safe female betta and it will remain her home for the rest of her (hopefully long) life.
Hmm Thats the exact same substrate I used and my aquarium has plenty of java ferns and other plants and has a sponge filter and an oxygen stone, and my lights are relatively new, so this video is helpful to me as I know I can introduce these shrimp into my aquarium.
I'd highly recommend most people just go to a nearby water store and fill up some 5 gallon jugs with RO water instead of getting their own system if they live near one.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial… I was aware about CRS guide but it was not complete…. I prefer to use RO water … and I know about the product bee salt but wasn’t aware about the proper use … thank you very much… this made me complete . ❤
Great video tutorial!!!!thank you🌸 If only you can have one small tank with easy to grow plants and without CO2 and some commune of different fish and do tutorial for absolute beginners....🌸
I accidentally left a giant tape worm in my shrimp tank and now I can find it how do I rid the fish of tape worms without hurting my shrimps. Please help
Nobody promotes avoiding water changes, what you should avoid is a large water change, you should never do any water change that >15%. You may get away with CRS, since they're the hardiest among the Caridina, but when you move up to any higher tiers like pinto, you will be in trouble.
Nice looking aquarium and good tips!:) Question: how come you don't use 40% established tank water? Whenever I setup or rescape a rank I use water from my other aquariums and then you don't have to wait weeks or days. Cheers
About the amonia and nitrine... With just plants there is basically none of that cause fish and shrimp etc. start that cycle by giving amonia into the water
Hi, the ammonia leaching from aquasoils is enough to create a much bigger bacteria colony than the few fish or shrimps used in fish-in cycles, it's also safer for the animals to start the cycle with aquasoil, rather than with them or fish food. Aquasoil cycling also eliminates nh4 and no2 spikes when introducing animals 😊
@@Danny-MOG so (my English ain't the best XD) the soils do indeed release quite a lot of ammonia? As far as I was told they do not release that much. I might do some test measurements to see for myself cause maybe I've been told wrong xd
They release a ton! ADA Amazonia will leach for even a month, you'll never see a greener nh4 test 🤭 Tropica (the one I used in this video) leaches for a week or so, less than ADA, with daily water changes 😊 innert gravels or sand don't leach ammonia, it's just the 'aquasoil' types.
Well it's only been 2 months, so nothing major, already at 2nd generation and having to give some away, but I'm planning some hybridisation as soon as my other colonies grow. Shrimp rack tour coming soon though and you'll see them there :)
Perfect tutorial video
You can absolutely trust it as complete CRS guide.
Thank you
Every time I see a branch out of water in an aquarium I want to attach an orchid to it! I'm so happy you do it😍
Hu?
Thank you very much, Danny! A very thorough and well put together guide. Love the tank setup and decoration!
Amazing video!! It has everything one needs to know to keep these shrimps. Great looking tank too.
Thank you 😊
Wealth of information right here.
Easy to follow and very well presented and structured video.
Thanks so much for your information and help.

sound and shrimp are beautiful.

Thank you. Excited to expand to Bee shrimps
This is the best video I’ve ever seen!

What a beautiful aquarium ❤ very helpful tutorial! Thank you for your time
Thank you! Very pretty, and it makes me a little hungry, too.
First time watching ( love your orchid channel) this is very interesting
Thanks!
Thank you for your helpful video. May i ask what co2 regulator is in the video?
Very good and accurate tutorial!
Great video tutorial!!!!thank you🌸 If only you can have one small tank with easy to grow plants and without CO2 and some commune of different fish and do tutorial for absolute beginners....🌸
I second this!
Working on exactly that 😁
Great Info……Thanks for sharing
Love this video lots of really great tips
try use soil meant for shrimp. they have lower ammonia content.
wow beautiful
Very nice 👌🏾

What are your thoughts on the shrimp keepers who promote avoiding water changes? Enjoyed your video.
Nobody promotes avoiding water changes, what you should avoid is a large water change, you should never do any water change that >15%. You may get away with CRS, since they're the hardiest among the Caridina, but when you move up to any higher tiers like pinto, you will be in trouble.
hmm , very good and detail video , but i did see a orchid on top
Nice looking aquarium and good tips!:) Question: how come you don't use 40% established tank water? Whenever I setup or rescape a rank I use water from my other aquariums and then you don't have to wait weeks or days. Cheers
Probably cause most of us are starting from scratch :)

@@Danny-MOG Well good to kow thanks^^. Imma keep an eye on that
What substrate vacuum/cleaner do you use
Great! Your CO2 is running 24/7?
Excuse me, are you the same Danny who have TH-cam orchid channel videos?
Yes :)
@@Danny-MOG do you know the tds which your crystal red shrimps have babies, please?
any update about this colony?
Well it's only been 2 months, so nothing major, already at 2nd generation and having to give some away, but I'm planning some hybridisation as soon as my other colonies grow. Shrimp rack tour coming soon though and you'll see them there :)
