- Full care guide for Caridina and Neocardia shrimps!
In this guide I share all my experiences and all my knowledge regarding shrimp keeping. Of course as with all things in life this probably not the only way to keep these beautiful animals but for me it has always been a succesful way of keeping shrimps. You will learn the differences between Caridina and Neocaridina shrimps and how to keep and breed Neocaridina and Caridina shrimps.
In this guide the following topics will be covered
- Set up a shrimp tank (for Caridina and Neocaridina)
- Correct Water parameters for keeping shrimps (Caridina and Neocaridina)
- Stocking a shrimp tank and Co-housing
- Acclimation of shrimps
- How to feed shrimps
- Maintenance of shrimp tanks
- How to breed shrimps

Those shrimps are noice - the colours and quality are insane. I agree about building a planted environment with shrimp in mind. Happy shrimp are healthy shrimp!
Thanks for your comment!😊 Yes you are so right...happy shrimps are healthy shrimps! 🙂

This is a high quality video and must have taken you so long to make. More people need to see this 👍
Hey my friend thank you for watching and your comment.It was really a lot of work, but as long as it helps people and the feedback is so positive, it was definitely time well spent. 😊
Very nice primer!
Thank you for watching and the comment! I am very pleased that the video was helpful! 😊
Thank You. Great video.
Thanks for watching and commenting dude! I am very pleased that you enjoyed it.😊
Amazing video! I Will share this whenever I see beginners ask questions on the shrimp groups 😅
Thank you for watching and your feedback. 😊I am really pleased that you enjoyed the video! And thank you for sharing! It would be great if the video could help more people to get started in this great hobby. Have a great day!
Great video!
Thanks my friend! I am highly delighted that you like it!☺️
Very nice!
Thank you dude! I hope it helped! 😊
Danke für deine Arbeit und dein educational Video, aber eins muss ich dir sagen: Man hört, dass du deutscher bist xD
Ne ehrlich - gute Arbeit! Danke.
Danke fürs Anschauen und dein Feedback!👍 Ich arbeite daran mein Englisch immer weiter zu verbessern aber den deutschen Akzent werde ich wohl nie ganz eliminieren können. 😊Der ist dann wohl Markenzeichen und bleibt Teil vom Kanal.🤣
wow
I love those light blue shrimp. What are they called, please? 💜🙏🏼
The light blue shrimps in the video are called blue bolt shrimps (caridina). Thank you for watching!😊
The best 🎉
Thank you!😊
BTW can i use stones as gravels for red cherry shrimps?
As substrate for Red cherry shrimps you can normally use what you want. I always recommend a fine grained substrate but also a coarse grained gravel is feasible. Fine grained substrate has some advantages in my opinion.Shrimps love to turn over the grains of sand and left over food cannot fall in the substrate and be burrowed that easy.
What is that pole the shrimps are all eating? Is that some sort of shrimp food?
Hey dude, yes this is special shrimp food. I guess for the video I used Hokkaido sticks. They absolutely love this stuff. It is not cheap but it is good to get good footage. 😀
@@PTAquaVision-mj3yp thank you so much for the information
You are welcome!
Hey dude i have a question sbout caridina shrimp. Since the like 0 kh and very low ph . How can the tank cycle if the bacteria for cycling die in low ph and cant work in low kh
Hey my friend, I always try to go for a KH of 3 and the PH is approx. 6 in most tanks.I always have tannins in the water to buffer the PH a little bit. To be honestI have never had a problem with cycling a tank. But you are right as far as i am informed bacteria generally prefer a more neutral environment and work better under such conditions. So maybe it takes longer to cycle the tank and the bio. But I always let the tank cycle for a few weeks and I could not see a difference to my Neocaridina tanks.
From what I heard other nitrifying microbes end up taking up that function, like Ammonia Oxidising Archaea for example.
Man I want caridina longidigita but I live in Canada and I can't find how to get them, anyone here with any useful pointers? Thanks in advance, at this rate it feels like I might die of old age before I ever get them 🙃
In Germany they are also very hard to get. You sometimes can buy them from private persons for like 20€ a per shrimp.
@@PTAquaVision-mj3yp Man haha that's terrible, I love tiny filter feeding shrimp but I guess maybe someday I will see them. Thanks for the reply by the way. Here I only have cardinals and I have to admit the shipping was rough, not even extra oxygen in the bag, or extra thermal envelope to isolate them from other shrimp. I think we have other ones here in Canada but I am just trying them out at steady 26C with about 28C when the lights are on. I am not sure if the crazy amount of moina, seed shrimp, rotifer, detritus worms in there are a good thing or a bad thing. Like 2 of the 3 dead shrimp that were weakened by shipping got deleted before i woke up and the third one barely had anything left. 15/20 survived and are doing fantastic which is a win in my book, running the sulawesi 7.5 I will probably try to aim for your parameters in the future, right now they are reaching 380microseimens but I did start at 305, could have started at 240, I will go slow and adjust like I saw in one of your videos! 😎 Also great video quality, showing some very nice shrimp. 😄
I will keep my fingers crossed that you will get them one day. Yes shipping can be rough for cardinals. I was lucky and I found a breeder not too far away. I guess all survived the transport but I will never know because they were hiding a lot the first weeks. Btw the breeder where I bought the shrimps also used the 7.5. I guess both salts are fine but maybe the 8.5 is slightly better because it is a little bit closer to their natural habitat. I am pleased that you enjoyed the videos. Thank you for watching!😊
@@PTAquaVision-mj3yp Out of curiosity have you ever tried raising shrimp in darkness? I found through testing that biofilm specific eaters like my spotted hillstream loaches in high oxygen environment with good flow for nutrients distribution over a 6 month period did exceptionally well without me feeding them ever. But they had more surface area than a 1000 gallon aquarium since it was entirely a collection of properly sanded/sized (not just lazy sanding lines accross but very well all around sanded motions with not coarse sand paper) PVC tubing, all to reduce the amount of energy needed for biofilm to build itself, something called the scaffolding part before you actually have the biofilm itself. When done there was no place for an adult to get stuck or for them to even find some sharp edge that could injure fins in the event of teritorial displays, and of course no deadzones(near zero flow) in the entire tank. I mean it was for certain not succesful to stimulate breeding since I am now 100% they mostly breed in calmer water conditions, but damn they were healthy and happy. Also, it is definitely not worthy of display to an audience lol. I did end up giving them away and only kept one in my main tank so it can take care of shuffling the very fine sand. Please let me know if you ever attempted something similar with shrimp, would love to hear about it :)
Sounds really interesting. 👍But I have never tried to keep and breed shrimps in darkness. I always have plants in my shrimp tanks and they woulf not survive this experiment.😀
The bigger aquarium, the better.
10 l minimum, 45l ok.
I would reccomend starting with a small number of shrimp, because If something goes wrong, there will be less money thrown away.
Hey thank you for watching and your comment.👍 Yes that's true the larger the better. Unfortunately not everybody has enough space for a large tank.That's why I tried to provide some guidelines. 45 l is my breeding tank size. This works perfect for me. For beginners 60l ist probably the best size provided you have the space.🙂
In my experience it should not be less than 10 shrimps. In too small groups they do not feel comfortable. But you are right....if I start a new tank with more pricy and sensitive caridina shrimps I also start with a smaller group. But 10 shrimps is a small group for me 😊
@@PTAquaVision-mj3yp It depends, because If someone îs a beginner, they should try with small numbers, and more resistant shrimp.
It took me there tries with the red cherry, before i was albe to breed them.
