Thank you for this video it’s veryhelpful
You’re welcome 🫶🏻
:)
Hi Richard. Thank you for your videos. I found a new passion for the hobby with my shrimps ans thanks to you for all the sharing of your knowledge. :-)
You're very welcome ❤️
Just found your channel, criminally underrated. I had to take down my tanks when I made my move and haven't set anything up again in a few years. I was thinking of setting up a shrimp tank and you have so much information!
Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. It’s appreciated 🫶🏻
Saved!
I was going to grow shrimp with moss, but it looks messy
I chose something a little more manageble and hardier
A floating forest of Guppy Grass.
Easily my #1. It provides cover and is easy to take out when it's time to cull or collect the shrimp.
It's the work smarter, not harder plant for any shrimp tank
It grows fast, which means it removes nitrates just as fast and provides dense cover when allowed to become overgrown
Great suggestion. Thanks 🙏🏻
Very helpful, lovely video!
Glad it helped. Thanks for the positive feedback 🤜🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers Absolutely, you definitely have a new subscriber 😊
Thank you for providing sizes of each plant. I especially appreciate giving it both in inches and centimeters
Hey, glad I could help. 👍🏻
I’m just setting up a small 10g shrimp only tank. I just put 1.5 - 2 inches of aqua soil into it. Is there any benefit of this much substrate? Most shrimp tanks I see have less than an inch. I plan for some water wisteria and/or pearl weed with mosses and susswasertang. Should I decrease my substrate to 1 inch (no shrimp yet)? I’m new to this hobby (more like a sport).
What about Elodea Densa? I ordered some feom Amazon and just read on the description that it is not shrimp safe ?
I have never come across suggestions Elodea is not shrimp safe. I did a quick Google search and found nothing conclusive 🤷🏻♂️
I just use Christmas moss
I love Christmas Moss 🦐
What about using Indian almond leaves.?
Great suggestion! Indian Almond leaves provide the perfect location for biofilm and bacteria to develop, and shrimp love to eat biofilm 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers thank you!
Does peanut butter and jelly work together?
😂
What would you say is best between java moss or floating plants ?
To my mind, Java moss! No question
Thankyou
What's the difference between Neocaridina and Caridina shrimps...?
They are essentially two difference species of dwarf shrimp. Typically, Neocaridina shrimp are less fussy on water parameters, and therefore generally easier to keep and breed than Caridina shrimp. Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp also have different shaped reproductive parts meaning they literally don't fit together, and as such they will not crossbreed.
@@FishKeepingAnswers Thanx. Loved ur e book on Neocaridina shrimps btw.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
do you use liquid fertilizers in your rcs tanks?
Yep. To get the best growth from your plants you will need liquid fertiliser 👍🏻
@@FishKeepingAnswers won't they affect the health of the rcs?
Nope
@@FishKeepingAnswers thanks man
👍🏻
are all these plants good for low tech setup??
All of these plants work well in a low-tech setup. While almost all plants grow better with higher light and the addition of CO2, all plants on this list will grow under low to medium light (with the possible exception of Pearl Weed which does like medium light). None NEED CO2 to grow well
@@FishKeepingAnswers nice, and thanks for the info..i am about to make my own shrimp tank and aquascaping it myself..this is great!!!
Glad I can help. Did you download a copy of my free shrimp ebook yet - fishkeepinganswers.com/shrimp-ebook/
@@FishKeepingAnswers yes...thank you very much
I hope you found it useful 👍🏻
I would add Subwassertang to the list.
That’s a great shout! To be fair, I could have probably made the list my top 20 plants 🌱 🦐
