Shrimp Unboxing - Dream Blue Velvet & Tank Setup

Today I unboxed Dream Blue Velvet Shrimp along with some Wisteria and Cholla wood. I show the process of drip acclimation and end with some great clips of the little shrimps wriggling around their new home.

DAMN, that one already had a clutch of eggs.

So do these shrimp play well with other species? I've seen some opae ulas that look really similar but are red, I'd love to have a tank devoted just to some varied color shrimp.

I guess I'd need to look into it further and see if any of the species can be intermingled or if their requirements vary too much.

So this is a tricky question. I would lump these kind of shrimp into two species -- Neocaradina and Caradina. Each type will interbreed with each other, but not the other (So if you want to breed, this is important). Likewise, Neo's and Caradina's have completely different water parameters, so while you might be able to keep them alive together, it doesn't mean they will flourish/breed.


I keep my blue velvets with my CRS's because their parameters are relatively close to one another. I'd just look at species by species and see what can work together.

LOL nice... cellulose insulation for filler, that's actually not a bad idea. That stuff is only $12 for 40 square feet, a hell of a lot cheaper than packing peanuts or those plastic bags, AND the cellulose will absorb any water that leaks out and keep the box intact until it arrives. If you just had plain old bubble wrap in there and the box got wet there'd be a hole in there within an hour and your fish/shrimp/etc would flop right out in the Fedex facility.

I really want to buy some shrimp, but every where I look online is super expensive. I don't have any fish stores anywhere close to me, so I have to order online. Where is a place I could get cheap ones? I just want 1 blue male 1 blue female and then I'll breed them.
Aaron's Aquatics - A²

A successful colony of shrimp traditionally requires more than 2 shrimp. I would say a minimum of 10 is recommended.


If you are looking for cheap, check ebay. You'll get what you pay for.

What food do you use?? I had about 10 ghost shrimp and 9 died idk why but I am left with 1 that has eggs that might hatch any day now and I really wanna give her (momma shrimp) the best possible food.

I should really do a video on what I feed... OK! So for adults/juvi's I use AZOO Aquarium Max Growth (It's a pellet that I break up into pieces since neither tank can even finish half a piece.


When I see babies, I start dropping a powder into the tank that gives babies easy access to food (for that, I use Shirakura Baby Shrimp Food).


I also add veggies on occasion whenever I have left overs myself! Stuff like squash, zucchini, spinach, etc. It's just a snack, but they love it.

You wanna remove the browns or they will muddy your line breeding with wilds and eventually you will begin to lose all of the blues. Think of it like a recessive gene (super simplified and not that accurate, but a short explanation) that occasionally pops back up.

What is the plant in the bottom left/front of your tank? The short lighter green sort of spiral ones?
Shannon Talbott

Maybe bacopa? The shorter front ones looked like cool spirals at first but now I see it's just the angle... Still cool :)

Damn, I forgot. They're in the back left of my tank -- if I remember I'll post it here. It's a stem plant, if that helps at all.

Aaron's Aquatics - A²
Aaron's Aquatics - A² - 7 years ago
Nah, it's not the best for macro shots. The lens isn't removable -- I've owned it before I thought about making this channel, so if you want something for macro shots there are probably better options.


For me though, I love it because it provides 1080p @ 60fps video with zero sound on focusing (Unlike a traditional DSLR).

Still a few things I got to work on, though you only have two videos up, you have a lot of talent bro, thanks for watching! Ill be looking at that camera lol any good for macro stuff?

It's a Canon G7X Mark II. Thanks man! I watched some of your stuff last night (specifically the moss ledge DIY and loved it. I'll be building one or two myself in the future)
