"Patience goes a long way on aquascaping". On the same video: Assembles a aquarium in a hurry; Isn't prepared for salinity differences; Doesn't have the water ready; No circled tank. And on top of it all begins the video with a "no water change needed" tank. Great stuff!!!
Actually water changes aren't needed because the shrimp prefer still, stagnant water. Also the shrimp go through a larval stage where they free float in the water column and you would 1000% suck any out. I've been breeding Opae Ula for years and sell them in cookie jars. They definitely need to be fed monthly though, they need the added nutrients over time. Opae Ula are the only species I know of like this. They're truly unique.
This is definitely that sterilized algorithm tuned video. That 5 minuet crafts kinda attitude. This bowl cannot be self sustaining. That Macro Algae will start to die when it runs the water out of nutrients. That Mermaids Fan and Mermaids Shaving Brush need deep sandbeds. They will also need Calcium and Magnesium supplements. The only macro I see surviving that set up without dosing is the Red Ogo and thats if the Shrimp provide enough nitrates and phosphates.
@@AstroxZombie the shrimp isn't the only living organism in that setup. Every living thing in there will eventually die off and/or produce all that stuff the we remove with a water change. A video like this misleads new fishkeepers and isn't honest in terms of long term stability. To me this is a setup that isn't planned to last even a couple of months.
She frequently sets up tanks and adds fish immediately without cycling, just adding bottle bacteria and calling it a day, I wish she would just cycle her tanks first so that she could actually teach her audience something. I wonder how many of her tanks actually last long term
"They don't need food or water, just sunlight" Meanwhile the shrimp, instantly looking for *food* in the *water* in a bowl that gets barely any natural *sunlight*
Well I do have some freshwater shrimp and I don't feed them as they constantly pick at algae, biofilm, fish waste and debris. As well as spare fish food crumbs so what she was saying is slightly true.
This is a great point! Believe it or not, Opae Ula can survive exclusively biofilm and algae from a strong light or sunlight over the tank. This is not true for all shrimp, just Opae Ula. Feeding can be done in very, very small amounts but you want to be careful to remove any uneaten food. A closed system like this can very quickly spike in ammonia/nitrites!
I would like to see how long this tank lasts with improper salinity matching between opae ula and macro algae, as well as the lack of water movement needed for macro algae to thrive. This tank just looks good for the vid but is unsuitable for the long term care of the inhabitants..
Great catch! The typical 1.015sg (or lower) salinity recommended for Opae Ula would negatively impact the growth of some macroalgaes. You'd be interested to know that these captive bred Opae Ula are bred as a live seahorse food in a much higher salinity than found in the wild. This bowl hovers around 1.020sg and believe it or not these shrimp came in water closer to 1.025 and seemed very happy and berried with eggs 🤯. I will soon be creating longer videos to try and touch on more technical points such as these.
I have had my Opae Ula shrimp in the same four gallon tank for 12 years. I don’t think I fed them in over 5 years and I have never did a water change. I started with brackish water I made myself by mixing Marine salt with distilled water. Follow the directions to make salt water but only use half the amount of salt. This tank is so much fun to watch. I have about 50 shrimp. There is always two or three berried shrimp as well as floating larvae at any given time. I also have two large lava rocks as well as a carpet of macroalgae. Best tank ever.
the diversity of aquatic life is amazing. tiny brackish shrimp, slow moving seahorses, elegant bettas, greedy axolotls and much more. one of my favourite fish is the texas cichlid because mine is capable of tool use by smacking his algae wafers on wood and decor to break them
@@CanineGrowTime not exclusively no. i use a mixture of flakes, various pellets including hikari and fluval bug bite, small mealworms, pest snails and once he has settled in i will try frozen food. the algae wafers are primarily for the catfish i have in there but normally when i drop the wafer in he will attempt to crack it open for a short while until he drops it and the bumblebee catfish demolishes it
this bowl is super cool. when i go on holiday i plan on setting up a temporary rockpool aquarium full of natural materials with snails, prawns and a few small blennies
Yeah, getting your saltwater tank cycled FIRST is even more crucial for the survival of the shrimp which you said are very sensitive, sensitive and a uncycled environment do not go well together at all Also the macro algae require water flow in order to thrive, really doubt this will even last long term
not all macroalgae do. We actually made a similar mistake one time by not cycling a tank properly. Ironically, the macroalgae was the only thing that survived.
No offense to her bc she seems like a nice girl, but she frequently does these videos where she sets up an unicycled tank and either just glosses over it or adds bottle bacteria (which just speeds up the process and doesn’t immediately cycle a tank). It sucks bc she has such a massive audience, I worry about the impression she is giving her viewers
@@carolinesalpeck2567 I totally agree. And while it IS POSSIBLE to cycle a tank with animals in it, its definitely not recommended. Its cruel and can shorten the lifetime of the livestock
@@carolinesalpeck2567 this approach works for amphipods and pond seeded ecospheres. *maybe* opae ula, sometimes, maybe. Anything more complex than that, even mosquitofish and neocaridina, need the proper prep time. Low techs another story, but you *need* the cycling.
Ive got some crystal red neocaradinas, It took me a couple of tries to keep them alive sustainably, but now I've had a stable colony for over a year. The real secret is... I don't do ANYTHING to the tank. It's mostly self sustained and I give them bacter ae or betaglucan on rare occasion as a treat. Anyways, it was my experience lol, very sensitive but require really no care once you get it right.
Shrimp are sensitive to changes in parameters. If parameters are stable, they're good. However, they do not in fact survive well in those closed containers- they just take a long time to starve to death. They can live 10+ years in optimal conditions, but only a couple years at most in a closed container. Those "ecosphere" things you see claiming to be ecosystems are a slow, cruel death. Opae are very easy to keep, in a proper, open-topped container. Not a closed one.
@@madeinthegetto The saltwater and bowl parts are fine for these. They do fine in saltwater, and that's plenty of space. The lack of cycling isn't great, but the macroalgae should bring in plenty of bacteria and biofilm to handle things. That said, would definitely have been better to set up the tank and wait a few months.
I made a habitat something like this with a 2.5 gallon cylindrical glass container with a lid about 5 years ago. I used a good sized piece of "live rock" from one of my reef aquariums so bacteria and algae were already growing on it. The shrimp have multiplied and it's going really well. But, you do need to feed them once a month with a high quality shrimp pellet ( I use a Hikari shrimp pellet food for crystal red shrimp). Opae Ula do need to eat. If there is no food available they metabolically use their own body tissues to survive and get smaller with every molt until they die. I also do a 2 gallon water change once a year to replenish minerals in the water that the shrimp use to grow. Room temperature is ok so if your comfortable then they are too! They do best in brackish water which means you dilute the salt water to half strength (specific gravity of 1.010 - 1.015).
Can you please do a follow up to this video on how the tank is developing and how the shrimp are doing? Have you added any coral or any other organisms to the tank?
I'm not well versed in salt water and brackish aquariums yet but why didn't you cycle the tank first, and if your doing a cycle with the shrimps in, will they be able to survive the shifting water parameters during the cycle?
@@artsyscrub3226 You can cycle a tank without the need for a filter by using products like you said but that doesn't instantly cycle a tank, it will still take time for the nitrifying bacteria to build a colony in the tank.
Those shrimps live in tide pools in nature, so they're used to rapidly changing conditions. I'm surprised that she added any plants. According to my seller over here, who's one of the most recognised experts in this country, the kind of brackish water you need kills all plants over time. It's too salty for freshwater plants and not salty enough for saltwater plants.
@@a_shiro1151 you don't need the nitrogen cycle beforehand for such a small bio-load, the macro algae alone is probably enough to eat all the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates. Which is in a huge bowl aquarium to begin with. If there is any nutrients left over, its small enough for the initial spikes to not be harmful during the cycling process.
God, you're rich to be able to drain mixed saltwater out cause it's a little cloudy(from the live sand) which would have cleared up fine soon and posed no harm to livestock. Also if using RO water to make marine saltwater, pretty sure you need to add something to bring the ph up as well. Course, it's been a few years since I bred any saddle back clowns or Catalina gobies.
Where did you get that bowl! It’s amazing… I think you’ve used it in a few videos. Great find! Would love to get one like that for a planted shrimp tank
I would just suggest removing the sound design as it's distracting/ overpowers the VO and is not the best, the strange "scratch" SFX doesn't match the sound you would hear when planting something. :)
I love watching your videos! Your videos inspired me to aquascape. This is my favorite youtube video and also inspired me to build my own opae ula tank! Love your videos Jamie!
Question what is the salinity of your shrimp bowl? I have tried macro algae / sea weed and it didn’t survive in the of the salinity recommended for Opa ulae shrimp . Do you Keep them in full marine salinity??
Very pretty! I wish people would stop sealing these poor things in those little jars. They can live 10 years in proper setups, but only live a couple years at most in the sealed "ecospheres", because they slowly run out of food and starve. They're so easy to keep in a proper setup- just a few gallons of water and some natural light. How are you planning to keep the macros happy? I see a lot of macros that like calcium, and they're going to use up the calcium in the water sooner or later. Any plans for any sort of fertilizer regimen, any water changes at all? Opae ula and a slow-growing macro like a brackish chaeto can do just fine in a tank with no water changes and very minimal feeding, but halimeda requires calcium, and mangroves are nutrient hogs when happy. In future, it's probably best not to buy these guys from Hawaiian sources. They're often wild-caught, frequently unsustainably. It's best to get them from places that breed them in captivity.
Why does the narration feel like a Troom Troom/5 minute crafts video? 😂 (I love the project btw! I just found the narration style a bit... familiar haha)
Thank you for asking 💛 Kirby is getting stronger - he is regularly eating and holding down his worms which is a great sign! I post pic/vid updates to my story so be sure to stay tuned there for updates!
One month later…algae bloom took over the bowl because you didn’t even cycle anything. And you also didn’t account for evaporation which will leave to increased salinity especially with such small water volume. Great flashy videos to attract hobbyist only to set them up for failure.
So you used an improper saline mixture, didn't cycle the tank, have no filtration (or at the very least water movement), and claimed these shrimp can "live in a closed jar without food or water for 20 years" , yet you have 3/4 of a million followers? I'm just going to come out and say it, this is a shit-show of a build and frankly I assume the only reason you have any followers at all with content like this is the fact that nerds on the internet will watch anything a female makes, you even went so far as to highlight yourself in the thumbnail to get said nerds to click, you know what you're doing... I assume what you meant was that those shrimp can live in a closed ecosystem for 20 years feeding off the algae that the sunlight permits to grow, but even that is no way to treat a captive animal , and that definitely requires WATER (no food or water tho was the claim). This misinformation and type of content is not only ignorant, it's detrimental to new aquarium hobbyists, and it suggests cruel treatment of animals is perfectly fine. Reporting this video, and your channel, to youtube for providing false/dangerous animal care advice, promoting inhumane animal housing practices, and suggesting people can starve and dehydrate these shrimp for 20 years! You have no business raising goldfish, let alone "teaching" people about anything related to the subject as you clearly have no idea what the hell you're talking about!
You could have said all that without the sexist bs and it would have been a good critique. Now you just sound like a salty incel. Sad. I would have agreed 100% with you. Yikes.
Your videos would be so much better if you didn’t use that annoying troom troom five minute crafts voice. Or are you trying to appeal to five year olds?
Your comments would be so much more appealing if you didn't insult someone because of their voice. Or are you trying to appeal to incels living in their parent's basement?

This misinformation and type of content is not only ignorant, it's detrimental to new aquarium hobbyists, and it suggests cruel treatment of animals is perfectly fine. Reporting this video, and your channel, to youtube for providing false/dangerous animal care advice, promoting inhumane animal housing practices, and suggesting people can starve and dehydrate these shrimp for 20 years! You have no business raising goldfish, let alone "teaching" people about anything related to the subject as you clearly have no idea what the hell you're talking about!
You could have said all that without the sexist bs and it would have been a good critique. Now you just sound like a salty incel. Sad. I would have agreed 100% with you. Yikes.
You have 1m subs! Congratulations!
Your videos would be so much better if you didn’t use that annoying troom troom five minute crafts voice. Or are you trying to appeal to five year olds?
Your comments would be so much more appealing if you didn't insult someone because of their voice. Or are you trying to appeal to incels living in their parent's basement?
@@RobertKirkpatrick84 first of all, the voice is clearly a put on, which is why it’s annoying. Secondly, just trying to help her out, most people aren’t so kind as to be honest. But I’m sure she’ll go out with you now that you’ve defended her honor.
@@MinaF99 yea her voice irl is different
