I bought 6 for under $3 2 days ago. They're still alive. Woot. Thanks for the vid. Starting with my first planted tank and I'm hoping to fill it with shrimp.
Ghost shrimp are hardy but they are picky eaters, even when there is food around. They die of starvation in my experience. The easiest and most prolific is the Malawa Shrimp. Although they may need a heater on cooler weather, they are easy to feed and easy to breed. They breed constantly and seems to thrive well with snails, since they eat much of the same things.
Haha same! I have a ghost shrimp that will swim to the top when I'm feeding my Betta blood worms and snatch lil bits right next to the Betta to the bottom & eat lol
i'm OK with what you say, but neocaridina are in my opinion as simpel to keep and breed in (harder) tapwater, and can be as fun as well. A neocaridina is a very easy beginners shrimp as well... The only difference is that the ghost is bigger and has more options for tankmates.
yo you should make it yourself!! you can watch serpadesign’s videos to learn how if you’d like haha, it’s a lot less expensive than buying a 200 gal :)
Thank you that helps so much because I’m a beginner and I have 5 pregnant shrimps and I have a question “do yo have to separate the pregnant shrimps from other shrimps or is it fine to keep them together while the babies are hatching or about to hatch?” Because yes I know I am a beginner but I have 14 shrimps total and it’s kind of a small tank ( 15 gallon tank )
Got some ghost shrimp to see if I could keep them alive, and they stayed alive, so I got some Cherry Shrimp and now am hoping I have at least one male among nine of them. They are mostly chubby so I am thinking those are female since I can't see inside them and none have eggs. I have one that is paler and thinner that I am guessing is a male. But descriptions of the differences between male and female seem vague, and depending on a female having eggs (duh), with descriptions of males being very vague: not as colorful, the body a little straighter, the body a little thinner. They all look like females to me, except a paler, thinner one that could be a male.
I bought 3 ghost shrimp with uncycled water because I just bought stuff for the tank too I want them to thrive so what should I do I see people have sponge filters but idk they are and I need one that’s cheap also I don’t have a light so idk know how to grow algae for them(does a heater help algae grow) and this is just a 2gallon tank do you have any tips for me also one of them was cannablised today so yeah do you have any tips for me
@andrewesquivel I know this is an old video but I actually bought 2 ghost shrimp a couple days ago from pets at home and they sell them as amano shrimp , i could tell when i bought them they were a little different with not having the spots of an amano shrimp , but do you think this is intentional on their part or are they to blame? or should i inform them of their mistake?
blookyBill Cipher from what I have seen amano shrimp are more expensive like around 3-4 dollars while ghost shrimp are only like 39 cents so maybe they're trying to up charge?
Antony Jefrin ghost shrimp are pretty sassy and rough at times. They've been known to attack betta fish. When it comes to feeding time, they can get rather aggressive. I don't think I would feel comfortable recommending to keep ghost shrimp alongside other shrimp like cherries. They'll do fine with other mild temperament shrimp like Amano shrimp, but the most peaceful shrimp might succumb to injuries due to these guys
they easily make up for it in sass, intelligence and entertainment value! as much as i love my carbon rili colony, dwarf shrimp are kinda boring, compared to watching a ghost shrimp steal food from under a 5" pleco, or debate over territorial rights on a slice of cucumber with a dwarf crayfish. plus they're much more fit for community tanks.
Hi everyone! All Fish related video will now be posted on my new channel, Profiles Aquatica

My ghost shrimp readily eat fish flakes and pellets with no problems, strange.
@@kyesniper yea same, mine will eat anything I put in the tank.
My husband bought spirulina pellets online for our bottom feeders and our ghost shrimp fight over them. 😂
Same with my shrimp! It's the cutest thing seeing them fight over pellets with their little legs 😂
My ghost shrimp think they own my betta tank! XD
Haha same! I have a ghost shrimp that will swim to the top when I'm feeding my Betta blood worms and snatch lil bits right next to the Betta to the bottom & eat lol

These are great for a newbie like myself. My goal is to have a 200 gallon shrimp/planted tank one day in my livingroom.
Nick Ferdinande so sick! You should post a video once you get it

From my own personal experience it's usually fine to keep The Offspring with the parents
andrewesquivel I was saying that I have 14 all together her so it is fine o keep them together when the eggs are hatching
What are the water level you keep it at? What filters? Do plants help?

I know they eat they're young but can enough young survive to where they become a colony?
Can i breed ghost shrimps in my tank? The pet shop guy said i can't m and told me to buy the red cherry
I was told breeding happens in brackish water. Glad to know fresh is the way. Would guppies eat the baby shrimp?
That's for Amano shrimp
Can river shrimp breed in aqurim????

Man I love your shrimp videos! Snowball shrimp are practically the neo equivalent of ghost shrimp!
Thanks! Glad to see you liked the video =D

I got amano shrimps thinking I was buying ghost shrimps, they I got six for 3 bucks, unfortunately they are hard to breed, not what I was looking for
Mine turned Blue ! , due to me having Dark Blue gravel
Can you have them in a ecosphere ? If not do you recommend any for such a system
Love ghost shrimp
Bro can u pls tell that can I keep my ghost shrimp with my other small shrimp

I buy one yesterday i a see toda she have a eggs so I need learn quickly 😅
mine always had eggs and they never hatched
Need Baby shrimp care video 🙏
I put them with my guppy fry so I hope it will work out the fry and shrimp avoid each other so I think it is ok for now
paccolazyguy ! They killed two out of four but I have no where to put them
DragonSpirit TH-cam R.I.P shrimps
I got 2 her size and they say the same about mine lol
RCH can escape through these plants or not
I use ghost shrimp to feed my gold fish
neat
But I have kept some bunch of plants for this threat
Antony Jefrin well, I won't say that it can't be done. I'm just not sure it's something I can recommend.
Terrible
ghost shrimp are so ugly. i prefer RCS.
they easily make up for it in sass, intelligence and entertainment value!
as much as i love my carbon rili colony, dwarf shrimp are kinda boring, compared to watching a ghost shrimp steal food from under a 5" pleco, or debate over territorial rights on a slice of cucumber with a dwarf crayfish.

I just like ghost shrimp better since they look more natural in my opinion.
This appears to be a whisker shrimp rather than a ghost shrimp
