Thumb me up for the big hands 😂 ps stream tomorrow !!!
How much should I put in a 20 gal tank?
Just what I needed to know!!! The green jade beard looks awesome ;)
Its gone now, this is an old video that was waiting to be posted from last year.
I just got into the hobby and have some sky blue velvet bois and girls. Just got my bacter in the mail today I had been doing flake food before but was looking to get a more natural method of feeding set up for my buds. I also used a way small dose but in my 2.6 gal. tank I did tooooooo much according to this video. I'm making a ton of rookie mistakes but your streams are helping me become the best shrimp daddy possible. Keep it up man! I can't wait to have a place where I can put multiple tanks.
Mark today I found my first mama shrimp so far so good thanks for being Mark
Omg!!# I have been over feeding bad. Very helpful! Thanks and liked! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
How many zeros were in a bizzilion again? Yeah, I'm still feeding too much. I use one level scoop of your spoon. Great information as always.
Very helpful-it is what i have been doing. Additionally i feed it to my newborn guppies. They thrive on it.
i have a 90 litres tank. i use the spoon, about 1/10 (probably 2-3 grains of rice) of it, and the next day 10 shrimps died. fucking bullshit this bacter AE.
i accidentally added too much powder should i be worried?
ROFLOL...you're making me a little crazy! I know you shaved a while ago but seeing the Grinch beard on Feb 2nd is a little disconcerting! :-P
I am putting one original spoon to the 10galon tank, but I have got I don know, maby 500-600 ones
Hi how much would you use for a 4g tank with 20 shrimp in thanks
Match stick head once or twice a week, dont add more or you will kill the tank.
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank you
you are very welcome
Thanks for this I just got the 70g jar and was wondering how much food is too much. I feed my CRS this powder food and Shrimp King complete.
“Very scientific mark. Thank you thank you!” 😂
The Dennerle Bio Tase spoon seems a realistic size.
Do you prefer that? I've been trying to decide between Bio Tase and Bacter AE. The local aquatics place sell both.
With cholla Wood as backup to provide biofilm for cherry shrimp, can u go away for 3 weeks holiday without feeding them?
Tes I would say so
Hey Mark , I noticed a lot of foam bubble build up on the top of my tank walls after feeding bacter ae to my shrimp tanks. I was feeding half a scoop total to 4 10 gallon tanks every 3 days. So 1/2 scoop for 40 gallons of water. Is the Bacter AE the suspect to my foam bubble buildup problem? Did i feed too much? Thanks
yes its the issue, do as I dose in this video 👍
I thought it was too much...but I'm definitely feeding too much using the scoop. Thanks Mark!
I currently use SL Aqua Magic powder. I had heard claims Bacterial AE removes oxygen from the tank and Magic Powder does not. I chose it because I do not run an air pump and only an over the back filter for oxygen exchange. Is there a reason you use Bacteria AE? Have you tried Magic powder? Just curious I tried searching your videos for any mention of this product. Thanks Mark :-)
I dont use anything at all now Derek, I just cycle the tanks feed the shrimp and thats it.
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thanks for your opinion, I suppose it saves me from repurchasing these products later on.
I just got some bacter ae and dumped in a full scoop into two of my 10 gallons without seeing that the dosing is for 120L 😶 what can I now to prevent anything bad from happening....?
Mark, Good afternoon. I'm new to Shrimp keeping and love all your video's. I have (2) 10 gal planted tanks for Cherry shrimps. I have all my water parameter set up, sponge filters and biofilm growing on Cholla wood, glass and rocks. Going to put 10 shrimp per tank to start off. Just have a simple question. Do I feed Bacter AE everyday to them with some solid foods every other? I want to be successful and give the best and healthiest environment to the shrimp. Thank you
yes thats a good Idea, in the beginning maybe feed very sparsely and make sure they are hungry hungry befor you feed them
Thank you for getting back to me that fast. Really appreciate it. Keep up with videos.
@@MarksShrimpTanks I just want to say thank you for all your videos and that I finally felt comfortable to start my shrimp keeping. I just received my Blue Dreams & Orange Sakuras.
Mark, can you help me please; Ive found a Damselfly nymph in my tank, pure white (not sure if that’s relevant) about 1.5cm long. What can I do? My hospital tank doesnt arrive until Tuesday & even with that, I’m going to have to do a fast cycle on that using chemical assistance to get everyone out of this infected tank & into a suitable temporary home. I stupidly added new plants directly to my tank 2 weeks ago - trusted supplier so I wasn’t worrying - must be where it came from. Any kill tactics you can offer would be much appreciated
Angie MacLean get your shrimp out into another tank asap, dont move any ornaments plants etc, those nymphs are fearsome predators and will wipe your shrimp out, there could be dozens of them potentially still on plants as eggs or born already as larvae.
Someone on discord had a bad problem with them, sorry to tell you they are really bad. Just try to save your shrimp and not cross contaminate new tank
korzer Thanks for the heads up, I’ve actually got 2 tanks on the way & a 3rd one already on a fish less cycle (nowhere near ready) but the next few days are going to be traumatic. I’m thinking i have no alternative but to strip the infected tank & salt bath all of the plants. No one to blame but myself but the tank hasn’t even been up a year so I’m gutted
yeas you have to remove and find them all by hand unfortunately because they do eat shrimp.
i use the tooth pick method
I've heard about this.
What’s the tooth pick method?
@@bksmotherman using tooth pick as scoop for that powdered bacteria starter
thats the scale i use for my weed
yeah they are awesome, I ve had mine for like 6 years and its rusting and everything and still works perfectly 😂
hi marks, which one is better where to use aqua soil Amazonia or aqua growth prodibio for red cristal shrimp ?? I am from Indonesia
Did you say those tanks are 6 liter or 60 liter? Thanks
60Liters
@MarksShrimpTanks Thanks my friend
Ty so very much for this video. I couldn’t figure out why I had a biofilm overload in my one tank. It looked like I spread cobwebs on everything. I’m still trying to fix it a week later 😞
I think i’m a member now! thanks Dana from colorado in USA
Very helpful 👍🏻
Thanks Mark!!!
how do i become a member???🌹

Thanks for the info on bacter AE, i followed the instructions and in 2 days had slight reading of nitrites and over 160-200 ppm nitrates from 1 dose, the idea was to feed 2 or 3 times a week, i, m glad i checked the tank, first with a 6 in 1 test strip( i use the tetra test for quick testing) then when i saw the results did the drops test. Is it bad to mix with water then add with a syringe rather than tipping in, mine floats for ages if i tip it in off the spoon.
So, a pinch. Five minutes and nine seconds.
BacterAE don't like this.
That's why I buy your feed and my shrimp doing very well
Thanks Mark for this video, really helpful for me. I was always scared to use Bacter AE. I never did, and after listening your video, I think I will try. Really appreciated. :)
I use it only when I do a water change every week( or sometimes fortnightly) . Use a bit more though ; about 2/3 of one of those coffee stirrer spoons in a 60L tank. So far no problems .
How many times do you feed your shrimps weekly?
Yeah that's about right. I just get a small pinch between my fingers and hold my fingers together underwater for a few seconds until the water saturates it and I slowly let it go and it falls to the bottom. I turn the filters off and you can target specific areas. I'll target my feeding area as a supplement to whatever food they are eating
Bro plz help me.. my tap water tds is 37 ppm... my red cherry shrimps always die.. recently i came to know tds need above 150 for cherry shrimps.. how to raise tds in wate.. as im from india so mosura tds up not available here
Try using wonder shell. This works great for increasing hardness in your tank for great shrimp shell growth
Thank you 🙏 good timing. Just got it the other day. Put a half in the first time and saw how excessive it was on day one
Mark, where did you buy that scale? I need one like that.
ebay years ago let me see if I can still find it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303557149719?epid=19028941032&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item46ad6a8417:g:GeAAAOSwOeBdph1e&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%252Fn%252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkpFtSR0CGv%252Bh98r8Yb9quSxEYszIdYSHPg%252BQbjHTBPFnAyhRXDMT08BTlD3IvOQ91a%252BMppAIbk%252B0PkpvHWvDYw%252BKNXsx7Z0QFjcbuU9LOrsgHkd48ZK3N4lsYHKFf%252BZU5F7VWHuDS4wfCX56ZoreYIaKAurmbAhyH0h4X5HEwLuSEEbYwCiGJBYi%252B7gHhBdEU9AWUXQz0G6yGYzJq9lIZtEO8Wv%252Fcz5NTQt1e4CN0FC1FEuzwNLzQy1BE%252BFL2rt3mSklUxkGzQJfNEPSNnjymvQ7xY8Y9PsveKDXSV808km2Hvb9ZeKiTG4vDP5TSbQDw8Ia%252BV7na9fzvZ279HIXihs%252BXWkM%252FvPIoEuP1YhjslGXAJILjGapGIzGdGuvuqpNk%252FSrtDKBl2%252BTk4TIJMu8Y3MMIEiWoDqPcJEuLGkNj7IONWcN8Q9Phr79pMGuPxKLabst6KVk07Nr7BvN%252BsqE24ynZQQ%252BSyb%252FhJkRFYdj0b4P8vDnmihHWr5LHygbFhw9ciXvnn3G2%252Bef0yaEEUUZlKgmGZCC081kj2m398K2lyw592dFYo1py6aMR%252BycagId4KZAMSQhmz%252FQgoa%252F0rqqkl%252FWgsAzgG0YOrMSehpSrV%252BIbl8vmOEsT4R9q%252BalWmZKACu4aImTFWTIAmXwIqi5kpkQpe%252Bw7SyLcy6DEqcSygJG7yrVmugyGuzu5qadTrNxEvXD3p95CwZEs%252F2xZWAE4fd8BWBGZq1OS3XEkYwvlYaAMOSjhDMRdhWT1rJlvGJ9VroPgH8iBe29QyVjh9paw%252BPSA2kt5u4m4w2BrEMG7fbU%253D%7Ccksum%3A30355714971986d2acfc4d7c416085df5b9e2e0366e4%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2334524
I joined because of the awesome beard! 😜
hmm....why would that amount hurt the shrimp tho?it's just dried up biofilm ....
any excessive food will give you ammonia and nitrate spikes as it rots
OMG! I was doing it so wrong! Thank you!
thanks man. I already suspected that there was something wrong with this product, dead shrimp every time. So I was already decreasing with the product, very good indication of how much correct. Continue like this friend you are amazing. Greetings from Belgium
Thank you Dirky
I use one of your measuring spoons for a 240 litre tank.
Javamos beard original!
so how ofter are you using bacter ae ? the guy that sold me the shrimps in my local shop said hes using bacter ae once per week.
every other day like all my powdered foods
Hi Mark,
I'm new to shrimp. I have a cherry shrimp tank set up and I noticed there are scuds in the tank. That must of came with some plants I added. Will they harm the shrimp?
No as long as you dont over feed the tank :)
It would be great if i could get it in Australia
Very informative video.
Hi! HELP! Whenever I try to do the right thing in life I end up making things worse. As they say," The way to hell is paved with good intentions". I have a community tank with Lemon Tetras, Cherry Barbs and Rummy nose. I have four Amanos and just added 10 Red Cherry Shrimp although at most I have seen only four at the same time after two weeks. I have now got some baby shrimp food as a sample together with Bactor AE, also a sample. My tank is 105 litres but say 95 taking into account the plants and hardware so, my question is, how much of which should I be using and how often? I would very much appreciate your advice. Also I've read that AE can raise Nitrate which is already high due to the tap water starting at 40 :( Many thanks, Lynne x
I dont use bacterae at all now I just use crushed goldfish flakes, for you that would be a tiny pinch until they get the breeding numbers up.
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thanks for your speedy reply x . May I ask why you no longer use it?
I just dont need it, flakes are cheaper too 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks OK, thanks x
thanks for the video mark. i just received this product and added rice grain sized scoops in my 74L tank. Mark, but is it better to mix the BacterAE with water then put it in the tank or should I just add bacter AE directly to the tank?
yes its better to mix it I think
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank you so much!
I believe you would need a scale that goes into thousands or even millionths to even get a significant number.
yes you are correct
I turned my beard green by accident. my blonde beard turned red so I had a friend dye it. DUH
mines is gone now, this is the last of the old videos from last year :)
Oxydators are impossible to get hold of in Australia. Anything on eBay is simply well and truly over-priced.
yeah same here, I tried to get them from the manufacturer and they were meant to ship me some but nothing ever turned up.

great video on a hot topic
Thank you so much. Great info as usual. I was wondering about the amount and this gas really helped me. Love you helpful videos and you have really helped me become a better shrimp keeper. Look forward to many more.
You're very welcome Eric
I was using 1/32 of teaspoon in 10gal/38L tank and it was way too much. I would have a single shrimp die within 24 - 48 hours of use everytime. I after this video I reduced the amount I was using to half of what Mark suggests to use. So now, I feed a half grain of rice sized amount once a week w/o isssues.
yes its crazy that Glasgarten havnt changed the dose on this product.
This is good to know. My tank is the same size and I'm going to get some Bacter AE. Good to know that dose works for you. 2 females are berried in the last 48 hours. I've been feeding a mix of Shrimp King pellets so far. They hate the colour one and don't seem interested in the snow pops, so I've just been feeding the complete, protein and mineral ones so far. It's a well established tank (about 18 months old), so it had plenty of biofilm and some algae. They've been in about a month now though and with babies hopefully on the way in a few weeks, I thought I could do with boosting the biofilm. I'd heard horror stories about following the dosage on the packaging, which is one of the reasons I've held off getting it. Someone mentioned they use a toothpick to dose it, which made me panic about just how much is too much. This has been so helpful to visualise. I know what size half a grain of rice is. So pleased it's working well for you now.
Is it better to do that or to mix the bacter ae in tank water first and then pour that in?
Ether way is fine.
Did i heard it right “you feeding them every single day of bacter ae”?
Thanks for the info again mark🥰
normally every other day
How much suitable for 100 shrimps per day , bro
Thanks in advance
The scoop you see me adding is for a 60 liter tank
@@MarksShrimpTanks whether you adjust powder food depending on quantity of shrimps or not?
100pcs./50pcs.
Give them same 1 scoop?
Thanks
Thank you
Great video
Hi Mark , will a shrimp only tank stay cycled due to the low bio-load or is there something I need to keep adding?
It will stay cycled my friend
@@MarksShrimpTanks hi Mark, thanks for your previous reply, not sure if you have a video on the correct temperature to breed shrimp , but what is best, mine is set at 24 degrees at the moment
Hi mark
I’m a Newbie and so glad I found you!
Thank you for watching :)
I just got some of this stuff and was wondering if it was too much
Now you know 👍
How often do need to feed BacterAE? TIA
Hello Joanne, it really just depends on the tank, you can feed it everyday if the shrimp will eat it all every day
What about montmorillonite? I've not seen any info on how much to use in an established tank... seems to be a black topic
I always forget to add it, I use a tiny 0.2gram spoon in 60 liters of water.. flat level spoon too.
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank you for the info, I've been using it once a week just after I do my water changes, probably less than the amount you've mentioned. Didnt want to risk overdosing.
best to say on the safe side
Hi Mark. Using CO2 on my plant tank is ok for shrimp mate?
I would say yes if you are using a regulator, no if its diy as you cant control it very well
@@MarksShrimpTanks I try to keep it on 1 to 2 bubbles a second that wouldn't be much..right?
Is that all you feed them ?
yeap plus solid foods, feeding shrimp is very much a every tank is different type of deal, some tanks I go 2-3 days without feeding and others get a couple of large algae tabs per day.
Too much Bacter AE can kill yout fish too?
yes it can
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thank's so much! Now that's an explanation for loosing one pygmy cory. Recenly I add shrimps to the tank and the only addition to the water was Bacter AE. Thank you for info, very helpful!
it's daft how much they say to put in!
yeah it is, that amount is ok if you have thousands of shrimp in mega big tanks but not what we use.
@@MarksShrimpTanks yes mate exactly
thank you !!
awesome fish in your picture by the way :)
So, if I heard right, you use that amount daily? Plus the normal feeding for shrimp? Because I use like half the spoon but weekly.
yes you can but I normally do it every second day
what's the difference between Akadama and other soils, Mark?
akadama was originally used for bonsai trees as where other active soils were made for shrimp tanks, they both do the same thing.
@@MarksShrimpTanks I know it's originally for bonsai; but I wanna know what's it's obvious feature in compair with soils that they are originally designed for shrimps?
thanks, Mark
