Never change brother, I’ve always loved the fish hobby but when I joined the Marine Corps I obviously couldn’t keep fish.. haha while I was in the military I would watch your videos for my “fish fix” and also as an escape during my tougher times. Since I have been back home I have dived back into the hobby and I have been using your info to help with project ideas like this! I will ALWAYS follow your journey, I know the sky is the limit for you and thanks for what you do!
Nice story brother. I spent six years in the Army as an infantryman and the fish keeping hobby is definately my outlet for stress though sometimes it becomes my stress. Hahaha
I mixed blue and yellow cherry shrimp and ended up with red, orange, green, bronze, brown and clear shrimp. I’m actually getting more clear shrimp than brown at the moment.
Not to rain on your parade because I'm glad you got some cool variety, but to much cross color breeding can lead the all to be brown, which I think is cool, but if you want to keep the variety the best you can do is try to keep the shrimp purebred, and if they turn to brown I heard you can revert that by haveing them breed with more colorful shrimp. Again sorry to break some bad news, I just want to see you have a variety of colorful and cool looking shrimp.
Im a shrimp breeder. It will first start throwing random brown and blue branch (different mutations, shades and grades) snd after some time, youll end up with wild ones. Thats why we dont do much crossbreeding. Its like pallet. If u mix all the separated colors back together, u get wild (brownich clear) Amazing vid tho! Thanks for all your smazing work! Keep it up
@@Lancelotopus not so sure about your question but usually breeding them has to be like other animals. same colors goes with each other. like guppies and all
@@JasmineTurnbull-o3b theoreyically. Some have already been bred. It might be possible by breefing a strain with red insides (like bloody marry) and a transparent blue shell (like low grade blue dreams or blue saphires, perhaps even blue jellies) most of the offspring would still be randomly coloured and end up as wild varieties, but it might be possible.
I started with 7 reds and 1 brown. Over about 4 months, I let them do their thing. I cleared them out a couple weeks ago. I had all of the colors in the rainbow. There were more wild browns than nice colors.. But there were many good looking colored shrimp.
Yes, with time there are more and more brown ones. But over time i also got great new variantes. And also very colorful ones. Over long time for example i didnt see great coloured yellow ones. But after month there are many of absolut great yellow ones. Also without wanting it, i got many great green jades. Its cool to have extra tanks for every kind. But i want encourage all to have one Tank with all colours mixed. Be happy with what you going to see. :)
I have done the same color mixes with my shrimp. No fish in the tank. they do mostly turn brown or back but you do get some cool tiger patterns to come out and if you keep going the color starts to slowly reintroduce. I didn't keep the tank up and running for too long though due to a move so I am excited to see your future results!
One thing I noticed with all my neocaridina davidi shrimp is that at temps greater than 25C produce males about 70% of the time. The cooler temps like 22C produce loads of females but they do take longer to grow.
Such a simple setup, awaiting more updates to see how it pans out. I'm currently doing something similar in our greenhouse, mainly started as a backup for plants, but I've added ramshorn snails to see if they could survive, which they do. If I could add shrimp as well, that would be great, but my colonies are still growing.
I feel like this may need to be said for the new people in the hobby. Tap water works well depending on the perimeters. I live in the rockies in the actual mountains. My tap water has way to may minerals and has way way way too high PH for shrimps. That’s probably the only big thing to watch out for in such a simple setup
I’m in a small town in north texas and our tap water measures at a PH of 9, it took me months and many failures to finally realize water is a big deal, now I use RO distilled baby water it. is. perfect.
Our water up here sure does taste delicious but sucks you can’t use it for many plants/fish I grow Venus fly traps up here and I don’t use any tap water I have to use distilled water same with my betta
@@matthewryan1998 same here:/ the water does taste amazing because of the high mineral content, but I absolutely destroyed my first aquascape because I had no idea why tap water could be bad, it was all just water to me at the time😂 so I ended up mixing heavy organics with the heavy minerals in the water, and crashed my tank🙂 lesson learned and to never be made again, that was a 200$ mistake😭
With mixing colors, the first generation babies will mostly (if not all, well for the ones that cross breed) be brown, Because the color genes are separate. But in future generations a small portion of the babies will be a mixed color, then some will be one color, some the other and a good portion will be brown. The colors in these shrimp are all recessive, not sure if it's simple recessive (one gene like albinism in most species) or multi gene recessive (like noses in humans). Your results will be all over the place depending on what heterozygous (hidden) traits the starter shrimp might have too.
I enjoyed the video my young Aussie friend ( might be wrong... ) ! Have never seen those colored shrimp before... awesome! Saw that you used conditioner in the h20, in the 70's when I was a kid, we used to put it in the sun for a week and always used a bubbler or screen wheel ( ez to make w/ one battery that matches motor voltage/amperage) to agitate and induce 0² for them to breathe ( fresh water anything )... for Texas Gulf shrimp, you HAD better start with sea water... or you had mush shortly thereafter. Appreciate your content young man, thank you for sharing it with old guys like me! KUDO'S sir! Seth
I have a 100 gallon stock tank with 18gal. Drums for filter (rfs,mech,sump) would the shrimp thrive in a swirl filter? It's basically a garbage can that's supplied with food for them ( I would think) this would be first time with shrimp. Looking to help maintain my aquaculture system and maybe make a few bucks.
yay Pothos! I started adding Pothos to my tanks and i couldn't be happier with the results. I didn't want a janky look so i made something to do it call the Poth-O-Carry :D I thought it was pretty clever. lol
Friendly suggestion: You can also use air lines, run some metal wires through it and you can adjust the length/shape to hold the plants which you can hang it on the side.
Great idea! I use an old clothe pin and a rubber band to keep my aquarium plants on the edge of my rimless tank myself. I'll have to try this on my other tanks.
I've had some breeding for awhile, you only get brown when multiple different colors mix over several generations. I've had some blues and reds mix to create some with a purplish hue to it but you can clearly see the differences in blue and red upon closer looks, even managed to have a few mature females who were a darker green with an orange hue to them.
Hey ,Sorry I've commented this after a year but do you think it's alright if there's a red rili shrimp in my colony of 10+ cherry shrimps? Will they turn brown after a few generations or will they stay red?
I usually end up with clear ones when I breed... Curiosly these clear ones tend to change color depending upon lighting of the tank... Also if your original color was red then the kids of some of the clear or brown ones become red again... From breeding just blue you can get jet black ones..
@@Kam-go3bc sure.. But its not simple mendelian inheritance is it? Probably multigenic controlling pigmentation concentration, color and calcium concentration, not to mention incomplete penetration and stable mutations..
Just wondering, are there any temperature requirements for this? I live in the Netherlands, and it frequently gets fairly cold, even in the summer. Will the shrimp die? Thanks, and great video!
I found that they get lethargic and don't reproduce below 18C. Definetly not a permanent outdoor species in temperate climates. I put a few container ponds outside when I know the average daily temperature is always above 10C.
Hey this might be a newbie question, but how are your shrimps not dying if you haven’t cycled the water? Aren’t shrimps very sensitive to that? Currently cycling my shrimp tank so I was just curious. Cheers!
Great video, I am about to set up exactly the same system, question, could I throw in some shells ( i was breeding african shell dwellers) instead of the coral? Another question, do the tubs need a light above them?, I will be keeping them in a bathroom without a window. Cheers.
I’ve had mixed some blues with my reds and there was mostly brown for a while but I’ve gotten some orange ones now and some cool looking like almost ghost looking ones too and now I’m starting to see blues now again lol 😂 fun fun
Really interesting proejct. Curious about the amount of mulm or dirt in the bins and whether it's harmful or healthy to leave in there as there looked like a lot building up in just 1 month
Awesome video nick! A nice little project you have going on there. I'm super excited to see more update videos regarding this project. Thanks for sharing mate ☺️
I have a cull tank with all kinds of colours mixed together. They wont all be wildtype. But also do not expect to get half red , half blue. I got some blue ones with red spots. Most of them will be some variety of wild type.
I tried to breed my neocaridina in a bin today. Straightforward setup, no light (container covered with black plastic to avoid lizard/cockroach) and no filter. I also put some moss balls, moss, driftwood, a couple of boraras brigittae(to eat the mosquito larvae) and frogbit. In your opinion, will they survive?
Just checked on my cold water cherry shrimps. They are at 17 C. They are more active at warmer temperatures but I don't heat the tank. Just got a sponge filter in there.
Neocaridina are highly tolerant to low temperatures, mines are outside in a 90L bin for about two months now, and water temperature was below 10°C during day time. Night are still cold here, about 12°C last night. Sure, shrimps are not very active and not breeding yet, but they stay alive.
Great video! I currently have a 3 gallon with yellow and blue neos only and no fish and once in a while they had yellow or blue babies but most of them ended up wild type neos (mostly clear and some brown but I thought the brown was cool)
Great vid bro, always appreciate how easy you make things look, and how you experiment for months and edit it into 1 vid. You've saved me and I'm sure others so much time by experimenting for us. You are appreciated my brother. So impressed with your knowledge of fish keeping for the short time You've been in the hobby!!! 👍
Super cool project! I've been waiting on this video since you did a fishroom tour not too long ago and mentioned them! Are you going to add in any more cherry shrimp or just leave it with how many you have left?
I would like to give you a slight correction, you need one last equipment and that is a basic light for the live plants because the bin is not gonna be outside for obvious reasons but plants still do need light.
I mixed some blues and reds and got some interesting color morphs. I had varying colors of the blues and reds and I had quite a few rili in both colors start to come out. I did get some browns and clears. I even got a few almost jet black. The most interesting color morph I got was kind of a blue rili with red tipped claws. I only got 2-3 of them though. I would have loved to see that come out as an actual strain.
can you do a video on proper lighting for plants. I've heard my purple full spectrum light isn't good for them. any opinions or explanation as to why this is true or false.
I wounder if it will turn into a skittles bin? like Mark Shelly's. I have some blue dreams that bread and I have a wild shrimp that came out. It is spotted brown on a clear base. Thanks for the videos.
Every kid knows when you mix your red paint with your blue paint you get purple shrimp babies! Same with blue paint & yellow paint, gives you green shrimp babies. Personally, I’m hoping for some stripes, or at least a respectable camo pattern 😜 But seriously, this is an interesting experiment, i’ll be following to see what you end up with.
This is interesting, i have a neglected big container for months with some shrimps and mosses inside. No water filtration, no aeration and they are just keep breeding by itself.

Are you in the US? If so how much do they run if you sold them?
Clear is closer to wild type
I explsined this in my comment. Check it out

I would watch my cull tank from time to time for the odd color to pop up. If I had more room, I would have set up tanks to separate them all out.
I threw in a handful of red rili and 15 blue dreams. I kid you not I have red, white, and blue appearing on several individual shrimp!

i dont even have an aquarium but i keep coming back to this channel, so finally im subbed now lol
i really wanna try keeping shrimp they're so cute
You really should try they're easy to care for and they're so fun to watch
They are easy too. A lot of the time they don't even need a heater.

Hey mate, something you can feed the shrimp with is eucalyptus leaves from gum trees. I use it for shrimp traps
I accidentally did similar in the UK over winter, and then the cherry shrimps survived and reproduced.

Shrimp love plants so you'll need a light to keep the plants alive
Will you be breeding more apistogramma?
My first thought when doing this outside is mosquitos breeding in the tubs. Do you not have a problem with mosquitos where you live? Great video!
For the most part the shrimp take care of the calcium by eating their shells after molting also. Great vid btw

Just checked on my cold water cherry shrimps. They are at 17 C. They are more active at warmer temperatures but I don't heat the tank. Just got a sponge filter in there.
Now thats what we call KeepingShrimpSimple🤣🤣🤣 do more shrimps please
also quick question can you import live plants to other states?
Neocaridina are highly tolerant to low temperatures, mines are outside in a 90L bin for about two months now, and water temperature was below 10°C during day time. Night are still cold here, about 12°C last night. Sure, shrimps are not very active and not breeding yet, but they stay alive.
If I can’t get that temperature inside, should I use a heater? Does it affect anything?
you do water changes in these tubs ?
Just wondering what the tap water conditioner is , is it something that you made yourself for all your tanks and , or is it just a de coordinator
I hve cherry shrimps but never tried to breed them because i though it hard to do so,now i can try with this setup.
Thanks
Great video! I currently have a 3 gallon with yellow and blue neos only and no fish and once in a while they had yellow or blue babies but most of them ended up wild type neos (mostly clear and some brown but I thought the brown was cool)

I would like to give you a slight correction, you need one last equipment and that is a basic light for the live plants because the bin is not gonna be outside for obvious reasons but plants still do need light.
Java moss barely needs any light and I think that's why he went with it
Hey nick just wondering where you bought all your aquariums from if it was a sale for them all or you just got them cheap thanks.
I mixed some blues and reds and got some interesting color morphs. I had varying colors of the blues and reds and I had quite a few rili in both colors start to come out. I did get some browns and clears. I even got a few almost jet black. The most interesting color morph I got was kind of a blue rili with red tipped claws. I only got 2-3 of them though. I would have loved to see that come out as an actual strain.
The prices you quote for Java moss and shrimp are a lot cheaper than what we get it for here in Perth. Can you make any recommendations please?
Where did you get that big container of water conditioner?
Have you tried getting a small piece of coolite, put a hole in it and let the plant float in it?
can you do a video on proper lighting for plants. I've heard my purple full spectrum light isn't good for them. any opinions or explanation as to why this is true or false.
I had no idea tiny shrimp come in so many colors. How cool!
Will egg shell work like fragments of coral?
Amazing. Any update on colors of the babies?
Are you just topping off with tap water or are you topping off with RO Water?
Hi mate. Please answer my queries
1. Do you change water?
2. What feeds do you use?
1) Read the title 2) Watch the video
Hiya, love the channel. Have we an update on the shrimp tub?
There's a way to stop the color changes on Koi bettas?
may i ask which water conditioner you use?
thanks in advance
Can you do these bins on a smaller scale? Smaller black bins..etc
My neocardinia never breed. Is there a water temp or ph thing that influences that?
Would this work in a relatively similar sized tub rather than bin? If so what range of litres would work
Can I use foam container as breeding tank?
I wounder if it will turn into a skittles bin? like Mark Shelly's. I have some blue dreams that bread and I have a wild shrimp that came out. It is spotted brown on a clear base. Thanks for the videos.
Really enjoy your love of experimentation
Every kid knows when you mix your red paint with your blue paint you get purple shrimp babies! Same with blue paint & yellow paint, gives you green shrimp babies.

Hello how are you doing?
Shrimp hate change. Perfect project for someone who wants to breed but doesn’t have a lot of time!
All I have are ghost shrimp could those result In any other colors? Or will it just make more clear shrimp because that's just what I'm expecting
What are those stones you put in the containers?
Loved this video. Always looking for inexpensive ways to keep fish.
Can we put cuttlefish bone instead of coral?
Yes. Just boil it for 2 minutes and let it cool down before adding it to your tank and it will sink.
@@Adrian-fl9siI didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing!
This is interesting, i have a neglected big container for months with some shrimps and mosses inside. No water filtration, no aeration and they are just keep breeding by itself.
How frequently we need to change water for yello shrimp?
I mixed blue and yelow had green and few browns
8:25 8 months ago, people didn't know what country has blue and yellow. Better times.
Drill two little wholes and use cable ties or wire to hold plant in place, tape will probably fall off. Can also add a cheap USB air pump.
Cool vid, but do you have a Heater in the pots?
