Did you know, that I recently wrote the most comprehensive book ever about keeping, feeding, and breeding Cherry Shrimp? Check it out here 👉🏻link.Fishkeepinganswers.com/zXjvYN
Hello! I took a plan to create a neocaridina tank for a school project. I bought your book and read it twice and I got started. At the moment im really enjoying the tank with the plants. Now i just have to wait for my shrimp to arrive. Im really hoping for my shrimp to surive and my first aquarium to succeed! Ty again for the amazing knowledge from the book.
Hi. Thank you for buying the book and taking the time to comment. I hope your shrimp arrive soon and your colony thrives. Please could you do me a favour, could you head over to Amazon and leave me a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review. I can not tell you how much it would mean to me 🙏🏻
I have my cherry shrimp in a 2.5 gallon tank with a dirt substrate, (Father Fish style). There are also lots of plants and my colony has exploded like crazy. I've looked to this channel many times for guidance, thank you! One thing no one mentions is the little buggers will climb out if you don't keep a lid on lol.
Glad to hear your colony is growing well. I have to admit, I do sometimes have shrimp climb out. I lost a large Bamboo Shrimp that way a few months back 😕
Hi. We no longer breed shrimp to sell. We decided to concentrate on TH-cam rather than breeding shrimp. I have had good luck buying from Tropco.co.uk, so it might be worth seeing what they have in stock.
1:07 oh, ya haven't? Maybe if the bugs on the windowsill weren't also covered in dusty cat hair 🤣😜 3:55 Love the timeline of 2-3 hours for fish kibble (pellets, wafers, flakes, etc)!
OK, so I’ve been pushing food especially variety right before breeding. It’s usually right before the Brooder’s drop it all happens pretty close together. It’s kind of weird well you know anyways I like to overfeed right before that time and then give them about 3 days to clean up after and don’t do my first bigger water change for at least 15 days
Enjoying your videos and have ordered your book. Planning a shrimp only tank which will have easy live plants but no CO2. However my other tanks have CO2 when the lights are on which does swing the pH a bit between light and dark periods. Would this be a problem for shrimp?
I have moved from daily feeds to twice weekly feeding as my shrimp were not eating the algae. Now I do a powder feed ( shrimp fit and baby shrimp food alternating with other powder foods) weekly and weekly I add a sinking food to the glass feeding bowl along with the powder food. I also have almond leaves and some type of cones in the tanks. They are doing better at eating the algae, and they are still having babies. So hopefully that continues to be a winning strategy. Question- do the shrimp eat my nerite snail poop or does that all go to fertilizing my Java moss?
Is it possible to breed for profit out of 1 or 2 20 gal long tanks? If so how many shrimp could you expect monthly with starting colony of 50 shrimp a tank
Yes I put 4 cherry shrimp in a heavily planted set up I think one or two did not survive but now I have loads of shrimp all different sizes constantly breeding I do not feed them they just pick up what’s there, would be hard to target feed them have far to many plants & hiding places plus my fish are gannets 😂
I am devouring your videos, want to breed shrimp to supplement my income, even if I'm a senior in an apartment 🙂 In the How to Breed More Red Cherry Shrimp - 7 SECRETS REVEALED I was just listening to, you mentioned Tetra Color Crisps. I'm in Canada, can only find a product called that, aimed at fish. Does [ie] feeding them that fish food once a week help with shrimp color? Is the food aimed at feeding fish the one you use? I recall seeing something that looked like a wafer that your shrimp were eating [in yet another video] and thought at the time that must be the Tetra Color Crisps - they were yellow with a red middle, more or less, if I recall? I gathered maybe that was something only available where you are but IF feeding fish food that helps color occasionally, I decided to ask on that specification. Some of my shrimp seem less-colored than when I bought them; I have them on black sand for substrate and am learning everything I can plus feeding the optimal foods. This is my first year, I think I've made all the mistakes possible so looking forward to future. I have the hard copy of your book off Amazon and am a member of your site, your content is much appreciated! Thank you!!! 🙂
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I think I can say with all confidence, any food aimed at fish will be 100% for shrimp. In fact, I don’t think i feed a single ‘shrimp only’ food 🤔 I am currently working in a video titled Breeding Shrimp for Profit in 2025. Hope you find it useful
The best thing to do is try and work out how often YOUR colony of shrimp want to be fed. I would start with a couple of times a week, and if they eat all the food really quickly, consider uping it to 3 times a week. Just don't over feed them.

Another excellent vid!
Thank you 🫶🏻
Thank you, Very importent video!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏆
Glad you think so! 🫶🏻
Great advice as always! 😊
You are too kind 🫶🏻
Really enjoying your videos. Am I right in saying you are a breeder in the UK? If so do you have an online shop?
Hi. We no longer breed shrimp to sell. We decided to concentrate on TH-cam rather than breeding shrimp. I have had good luck buying from Tropco.co.uk, so it might be worth seeing what they have in stock.
@FishKeepingAnswers Thanks for the quick response. Will take a look at them.

Sounds like you have it dialled in. Good work 👍🏻
Any advice on what foods focus on helping them molt well? and any other advise on avoiding the molting complications?

Hi, love your videos. Do you think cherry shrimp would be eating scattered fish eggs?
Hi. Thanks. In my experience, cherry shrimp don't eat healthy, viable eggs. No doubt they would eat eggs that are dead and breaking down.
@FishKeepingAnswers perfect thanks 👍
hi sir, i have a doubt, can i just buy live blood worms and chop it down and then freeze them to feed shirmps? is it okay to do that?
Should be fine 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers thank you so much

Nice. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Definitely something I'm still trying to dial in. Thanks for the video!
It takes time, but it’s worth going slow 👍🏻
Hello whats is the best food for neocaridine
I would give them a mix of pellets, repashy and frozen bloodworms 👍🏻

Hi where is the link to buy red cherries from you I’ve tried looking can’t find it
Hi. Sadly we no longer breed shrimp to sell. Sorry.
I love feeding all my fish and shrimp a variety. It's fun to watch them turn a leaf into a skeleton!
Feeding is DEFINITELY the best part of the hobby😍
Please talk about genetics
Genetics are not my strong point. check out @chrislukhaup channel for more about genetics 👍🏻
Should I have to feed them every day ? Twice in a week
The best thing to do is try and work out how often YOUR colony of shrimp want to be fed. I would start with a couple of times a week, and if they eat all the food really quickly, consider uping it to 3 times a week. Just don't over feed them.
