Great to find a fellow Aussie on here! At 70, I am finding outside gardening challenging, so I am thinking about getting into aquascapes as they are just so beautiful. A recent search at our only pet shop was very disheartening though, few plants, no shrimp, few accessories, everything so expensive so I will be binging on your content, buying online and hoping for the best with a new interest. Lots of good tips here. Thanks.

Yeah this is a super expensive hobby for sure. That being said, most things are a one time buy from equipment to plants and if you're really good, your critters will be bought once and you'll have a colony going. Just don't expect it to work out right away. It may very well come as a second nature to you but more likely you'll be frustrated and stressed the first bit. Once you get passed that, the rewards are plentiful!

I would add that it is important to also add the same shrimp from another breeder than your first batch once or twice a year to help keep the quality of colour within the shrimp as a whole colony started from just one breeder will end up with many clear and uncoloured shrimp over time. Having different strains will improve the colours.

I first got shrimp a few months ago when I ordered some subwassertang online for my betta tank. I didn't order shrimp, but the seller put 6 in with the moss 😅😅 I didn't do any research about how to keep them alive since I didn't actually purchase them. I threw them and the moss in with my betta and thought he would either have some fancy meals or make some friends. He ended up making friends, though one did die due to a failed molt. I lost another one somewhere along the way, but 4 of those original reds are still plugging along and I have since added 11 orange shrimps. Now it's just them in the tank (upgraded the betta to a different tank) and they get plenty of calcium and a varied diet. Those 4 original shrimp somehow made it without acclimation but I made sure to do it properly with the orange shrimp I intentionally bought lol.

*MAGNESIUM* One thing I've learned fighting massive shrimp die-offs is add magnesium. I went through and perfected literally everything I could trying to keep my shrimp alive, and nothing worked. Calcium can't be absorbed without magnesium present. Magnesium is a common coral additive for saltwater tanks specifically for that reason! I picked up some magnesium additives and dosed my tank and boom, no die-offs and babies within two weeks. Like a magic bullet. Obviously there are a lot of things that should be checked, but if all else fails, add magnesium.

Hi nick! Great video! As for the acclimation process, when you do a water change it’s better to it slowly drop by drop. That way it won’t stress them as much. About no planaria, at least my store sells a dose for 1€, as I would never spend that whole bag in my lifetime, it’s cheaper to just buy the dose treatment when needed Also, just a tip, assuming most people watching this video are new to shrimp keeping, most don’t know the difference between neocaridina and caridina… and so when you say the ideal tank for shrimp is with no substrate, because it’s not that good for your shrimp, I think you should say that this is the ideal set up for neocaridina shrimp! Because the substrate is actually amazing for caridina shrimp!!

When I had them in a 3.5 gal and I'd do water changes, I'd use a small tube to steadily stream in the new water so they weren't shocked by the change. I hardly had any die offs because of that but the water I used was aged for a week or more in a 2 gallon jar I kept above their tank. Because the water has a lot of minerals in it, a lot of them would molt soon after a water change and I never had to supplement their calcium. It was already in my local tap water. But it had to be aged because the ammonia content in the water was deadly for them so it needed time to off-gas. It was best if it aged for two weeks minimum though but there were times I had to use it sooner than I liked. The more it was aged, the less die offs I'd have so only a week of aging did unfortunately kill one or two of them. The one time it didn't was because I'd put a couple drops of prime in both the waterchange jar and the tank.

There weren’t that many die offs and the tank I used was already cycled, but just couldn’t get them to breed at all.

Are you seeing saddled and berried shrimp and no babies or no saddles and eggs even? If you don't see any saddles and/or eggs, it means you have all males. If you see eggs but no babies, my bet is the shrimplets are starving to death before they become free swimming. Regularly add a pinch of powdered fish flakes to your tank and you should see a big improvement in 2-3 weeks. Check your GH, KH and pH though and make sure they are in the acceptable range for cherry shrimp too although if they are wildly off, you will probably be seeing deaths from failed molts. I have a 450L tank that I do weekly 50% water changes in. I have a few hundred cherry shrimp breeding like rabbits in there.

My KH is at 2, GH at 6 and pH is at 7. I have fluval stratum with some sand in the tank but it’s been nearly 2 years since I set it up. I’m confident I do have a good mix of males and females in my tank, I have roughly 12 red cherries in the tank (25cm cube). In terms of seeing shrimps with saddles, yes I have seen a few females with a yellow spot underneath their backs which I would assume is the saddle. However I’m not sure how weird it is to say this but I have rarely seen the female shrimps become berried with eggs. The shrimps do seem to be molting fine though, I see frequent exoskeletons laying around and very few die offs the past 6 months. The only thing I can think of would be the size of the tank itself, I know that a 25cm cube is really small and hence more sensitive to a bigger tank, and admittedly I don’t measure my GH and KH nearly enough. All in all, I have come to accept that this is all part of the hobby, but I’ll keep trying to get my shrimps to breed 😂 cheers and thanks for the advice!

@@Chrissolimmo I breed yellow and blue cherry shrimp in 20L tanks (weekly 10-20% water changes) so while the volume makes the tank more sensitive to changes, I am having success without doing many measurements. Hmm your KH, GH and pH are similar to mine so I am guessing that is OK. If you see a colour patch under the shell behind the head, that is the saddle. The female will molt in a safe place, release hormones and the males will start furiously swimming around looking for her. They mate and she moves the eggs from her back to her belly and hardens a new shell around the eggs. Sounds like the eggs are not surviving to attachment. That could be low protein as they use protein to make eggs. I feed shrimp snow (soy husks) that is high protein as well as a cheap powdered, high protein fish flake for the females and for newborns to feed and my 20L tanks are swarming with shrimp (e.g. for blue dreams I started with 10 adults about 4-5 months ago and now I have about 50 free swimming juveniles). If your adults are safely molting, you are doing most things right. It is just getting the eggs and babies to survive to free swimming. Good luck!

Be very careful about those recommendations. You need to know your tap water parameters before adding coral to your tank. My tap water is super hard and the PH is quite high (7.8). So I cannot add coral to my tank, and shrimp substrate (ADA Amazon) is a must for me because I also have Caridina shrimp. There are many substrates that will not interfere in the water parameters though. Look it up before buying. You can also mix substrates that would have opposite effect to neutralize them. A planted tank is much more beautiful and healthy for the shrimp. I agree with minimal water changes and leaf litter. I only do changes when I have algae issues, and even then, only about 10%.

I’ve seen a couple of vids of people using them. Also do you boil the almond leaves? Thanks again!

Maybe I can get a shrimp tank instead of a guppy tank. Been missing having an aquarium. Although, I would just add mussel shells instead of coral for calcium since it's what's available here in Sweden at beaches. Or maybe just aquascape with limestone (since it's a calcium based).... OR! If I find some fossil in limestone, that would be fun

I’m on well water and it’s very high in calcium. I wonder if this will benefit or be an issue for shrimp? Also,I use black blasting sand for my substrate. The 15 gallon tank I’m going to use has quite a few root plants with pelia and Java moss,and lots of water lettuce. I’ve got coconut hides,almond leaves,alder cones and wood. Any feedback on this setup would be greatly appreciated. Oh,and I also have dried mulberry leaves(green,not brown)to put in at some point.

Won't left over food lead to nitrate levels to increase ? How do you get by not changing the water?

If shrimp are in a joint tank with plants, tetras, betta.. would it still be better to not do water changes? I have a large water bubbler, double fall filter several plants, Java moss and a huge drift wood. Thank you

Hey mate! How do you maintain genetic diversity when breeding? I'm breeding endlers at the moment and not sure what the best way is to maintain genetic diversity, especially since females are so hard to find?

Great tips. I will add a small fish (tetra/rasbora, young cory) for a few days to a week to eat up any planaria and detritus worms. No Planaria works very well and also kills MT snails but not annoying pond or bladder snails. -I use dry local leaves here in 🇨🇦 maple, oak, poplar, black walnut (anti-parasitic), common reed, fresh dandelion, spinach, broccoli, , zucchini and stinging nettle. Those catapa leaves are C$1 each vs free in a non-contaminated area.
