Mrs. Wiggles Wiggles - 7 years ago

This was by far the best video on Red Cherry shrimp I have ever seen. Excellent camera work. Wish I had a camera like that. I really appreciated the fact you didn't have crazy music in the background and it was just the right speed to read the words. Excellent. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed it.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Awesome, thank you for the positive feedback. Be sure to have a look at some of my other work.

Shudup - 7 years ago

How many days u wait them to molt and breed?

The Dave - 7 years ago

They molt and then mate/breed about once per month, but everything depends on the temperature of the water.

Shudup - 7 years ago

Nat Geo shoud hire you

The Dave - 7 years ago

Yes they should !

António Vieira - 7 years ago

Excellent camera work!

The Dave - 7 years ago

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are very welcome, and thank you very much for checking out my video(s), and leaving such an awesome comment.

Tam T - 7 years ago

This was such an awesome video! So informative, detailed and answered all the the 411 questions. The captures were amazing and love the pointing fingers/cue! The best video!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you very much. Be sure to check out some of my other work as well. All first rate stuff !!! :-)

Jesús Castro - 7 years ago

AWESOME! What a great video. Thank you for doing something as beautiful as this!

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are welcome. . . And thank you for taking the time to watch it !

Staci Jimenez - 7 years ago

This video is amazing, I normally don't like videos without voice over or sound, but despite this video having neither it is so informational I watched the whole thing.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Awesome. . . It is my opinion that audio detracts from the visual beauty of what I am trying to create in my videos. I am pleased that you like my work. Thank you.

Linda Navarro - 7 years ago

This video was so informative! I feel like I know so much about shrimp now, great video!!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you . . I am glad that I could help.

Lark Bird - 7 years ago

absolutely MARVELOUS video quality. truly love the informational aspect. will be watching all your vids and sharing, as well. (new sub) i prefer the text vids.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you very much. I like the quiet focus on the imagery without the distraction of sound. Thanks for the sub. The Dave :-)

Ex-Muslim Libertarian Atheist - 7 years ago

One of my cherry shrimps were pregnant when I got it today. Didn't know it when I was at the store buying it. Just found out 20 minutes ago, so I started doing research and found this video.

It is in a 20 gallon plant tank full of neon tetras, a bristle nose pleco and a betta. The betta doesn't seem to bother them so far. There are lots of hiding spots. So I'm hoping everything goes well.

The Dave - 7 years ago

The babies will certainly be a target for the neons and the betta. Lots of plants will help them survive. Best of luck and thank you for watching my video.

John O'Connell - 7 years ago

jl cogito - 7 years ago

Well put video. Very informative and I like it that it's not noisy like some others. It fully focus on the topic. I am debating wether to have a shrimp since I never cared for one before. I keep a lot of pets but not shrimp so seeing this video will surely make me think about it.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you . You should try the cherry shrimp. They are pretty easy to raise.

Denise Girmer - 7 years ago

Truly AWESOME VIDEO!! Ty!!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you. . . THE DAVE :-)

Beast _ Gago - 7 years ago

My shrimp eggs are black is that normal

The Dave - 7 years ago

I've never seen black eggs on a cherry shrimp . . . They do darken up a bit as the baby shrimp gets closer to hatching. Maybe that is what you mean, but solid black . . No, that seems strange.

Arne Draws - 7 years ago

Do u need a filter in a shrimp tank

Arne Draws - 7 years ago

Thank u

The Dave - 7 years ago

Yes, it would be best to have a filter, and sponge filters are the ideal filter for a shrimp tank.

EddValbu - 7 years ago

your videos are THE BEST!!!! amazing quality and info! I got a question tho, do you remove the parents from the tank later? will they eat their brood?

The Dave - 7 years ago

No, the parents will not harm their offspring. Thanks for checking out my video.

Bullpup92 - 7 years ago

No, they won't.

Logan Lab - 7 years ago

I truly appreciate the lack of music

Your videos are so informational and would be incredibly useful for classes! Marine Bio would have been incredible if we could have seen footage like this tracking the life cycle of shrimp! Keep it up!!

Thank you for the wonderful comments. They are very much appreciated.

Takun Hernandez - 7 years ago

Elizabeth Pomeroy - 7 years ago

I keep/breed cherry shrimp and, although try very hard to get good photos, they are nothing compared to this. You have captured amazing footage of these - well done. Its lovely to see close up our little popular hobby shrimp, thank you for sharing. :D

You are very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to watch one of my videos.

Congratulations!!! Amazing video, very important information was shared here. Please, make more interesting videos.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you. I will continue to do my best.

Justin Dalida - 7 years ago

I was imagining the discovery channel's planet earth narrator with a monotone voice narrate this video :)

The Dave - 7 years ago

Hopefully, the discovery channel will be calling me soon !!! :)

Heather Silverio - 7 years ago

You make incredible HD videos. So detailed with information. Love LOVE them ❤

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you very much. . . I am working on new ones everyday, but they take a great deal of time. :)

MrEverest Lee - 7 years ago

No music?

The Dave - 7 years ago

No music . . sorry.

Sofia Cortes - 7 years ago

Ohhh i got it now! So obvious i didnt even noticed lol those cords attached to the babies should work the same way ours does when we get a baby too and she has like 10 or so at once feedind off her so... she has to eat 10 times more!?

Sofia Cortes - 7 years ago

wow wasnt expecting it to be like that the same as with chicks :O

The Dave - 7 years ago

The cords only hold the eggs under the tail. It is not like an umbilical cord. All of the babies nutrition during development comes from the egg yolk.

Petro Gonzalo - 7 years ago

Great, great video!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you.

Sofia Cortes - 7 years ago

this video is amazing you deserve more subs could you make one for blue dream or how to breed them to get diferent colours sometime?

Sofia Cortes - 7 years ago

I see... just tought it would be fun to do something like that but yh i agree with you. Looking forward to the might happen blue shrimp video :D

The Dave - 7 years ago

I have some blue dream shrimp that I hope to film soon. Getting different colors requires strict selective breeding, and it takes a very long time. It's much easier to buy the color you like and just try to improve upon it rather than start from scratch !

PLEASANTGIFFT - 7 years ago

It really was a pleasure watching your video - when I study my Shrimps inside my tank - I do not speak to myself - it entirely thoughts. It was concise and I was totally focus, and it was not rushed giving me time to take it all in - wonderfully done keep doing this and I'll be subscribing

The Dave - 7 years ago

O.K. I will, I put a great deal of effort into making sure the video quality is excellent and that the information is accurate. I have many more videos for you viewing pleasure. Thanks for watching my video!

James Chen - 7 years ago

Beautiful video sir. Just got my first RCS today, and your video just made me love them even more. I'm doubly glad I got the tank up and planted for a month so there is plenty of biofilm for them!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Nice work. . Best of luck to you with your new shrimp !

Fiona FitzGerald - 7 years ago

What a truly excellent video! So interesting and informative! The photography and information were amazing, thank you for providing this for all to see, it would make a good documentary!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you for watching my video. Stay tuned for more !

kvaquafarm - 7 years ago

Great video..thanks for the information.subscribed

The Dave - 7 years ago

excellent, thank you, it's always nice to gain a new fan of my work !

Geórgia Manfroi - 7 years ago

Can we touch them or let them "walk" on our hands? Can they stay out of water during a really short time? Love the video xoxo

The Dave - 7 years ago

Perfect answer / very informative and accurate. Thank you for your thoughtful response to his question.

Ruthrakoti Dharmalingam - 7 years ago

Fish For Thought ok

Fish For Thought - 7 years ago

Hey, to give a more comprehensive answer, yes and no. No you absolutely cannot have them out of the water, but yes you can dip your finger in and over time they'll come over and eat the dead skin cells off your finger. But you have to run your finger through tap water for a while and make sure no grease or soap is on it beforehand. Hope that helps a bit more than a simple "no" from some of these other answers.

Geórgia Manfroi - 7 years ago

LazyCocoa :( awn Ok thanks

Geórgia Manfroi - 7 years ago

LazyCocoa :( awn Ok thanks

That's kinda like asking if you can pet your fish.

Ruthrakoti Dharmalingam - 7 years ago

Thank you for the informative video! Really beautiful shots! Just wondering, how do you feed the baby shrimp and what do you feed them?

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are very welcome. I am happy to help.

Bona Chang - 7 years ago

Thank you so much!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Biofilm found naturally in the tank. There are specially made foods just for babies, it resembles a very fine powder.

amazing video great quality too but i was left with one question... the biggest one... what u do when u just got too many shrimp living in your tank?

Sofia Cortes - 7 years ago

Thats amazing! :D

The Dave - 7 years ago

I sell them to the local petstore and they give me new fish, or food, or whatever I need. I breed everything and it helps me pay for my hobby. 18 fish tanks !!!!!

Ann Chapman - 7 years ago

After watching your incredibly detailed video, I feel so much more educated about red cherry shrimp. I've had them in my aquarium for years, along with some peaceful community fish, and now I feel I know them better. I looked at the comments to see if anybody could say what the tiny creatures were that populated the molt. Did you ever find out? I wonder if you could tell me the safest type of filter for the babies? I keep finding babies in my hang on back filter, even though I use a prefilter. I have a 10 gallon tank I'd like to set up but I feel I need a better filter for a dedicated shrimp tank. I want to use Eco Complete and lots of plants and rocks, as I always have in my other tanks, but I'm not sure about the safest filter. I want all my babies to live. Could you give me some advice? Thanks again for your great photography!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Sponge filters are the ideal shrimp filters. I use them for everything. They are inexpensive, never need replacing, and the shrimp feed off of the things that collect on them too. VERY HIGHLY recommended ! Sponge filters are a must if you are breeding shrimp. Yes, someone did respond to my question about the tiny creatures that I discovered. They are called Apostomate ciliates and they quite common in marine crustaceans. They feed off of the exuvial material in the shell ! It leads me to believe that removing the molts from the tank may be a good idea ! ???

Water CrayFish - 7 years ago

This is a top notch information video. Please do a voice over on this video it deserves it.

The Dave - 7 years ago

I've put out several requests to Morgan Freeman and David Attenborough, but they wont return my calls !!!

Soumyojit Bose - 7 years ago

It was very good. But voice modulation would have better. Give a pat on your back.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you . . pat pat pat

TheAnonymouse - 7 years ago

Can anybody tell me if I can get away with keeping these shrimp fed with only algae or some other plant?

TheAnonymouse - 7 years ago

That seems true. I put a java fern in there too. They still seem to like pellets and so forth, but they don't generally seem too hungry. Anyways I'm not obsessed with trying to make them work-free anymore. It's fun to throw some food in there and see what they do!

The Dave - 7 years ago

If you have enough plats in there they will need very little help from you, but you do have too keep the water clean. Try algae wafers.

TheAnonymouse - 7 years ago

Update: I put a plant in there and they spend probably 95% of their time eating it/off of it. I put their pellets in there and I regret it because they won't eat it. At least not that much of it. They seem to really prefer the plant. So maybe I don't really have to take care of them.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Yes, probably. Put driftwood and live plants in the tank.

Mark Andre Yapching - 7 years ago

Another great video from you my friend. I just started taking care of a pair of breeder cherry shrimp, and this video is very helpful. If you can add music next time though :D

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you. . . A nature guide on the Baltic sea coast ! I'm jealous. I love nature and the sea !

Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. I used a Panasonic handicam . . . . Currently seeking to upgrade !

WannabeErasmus - 7 years ago

Phenomenal video, and the video quality even after Youtube compression is incredible. Your work is very, very appreciated- this was striking on my new 4k TV and very educational. Is there any chance you'd be willing to send me the original uncompressed video you'd uploaded to Youtube? I would love to show it to fellow enthusiasts in its full glory.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you for the kind words, but I would like to retain the original uncompressed footage for myself.

hey the dave this is the best care video i have found for cherry shrimp. i am wondering what is the substrate used at 14:15 thank you

The Dave - 7 years ago

Hi, thank you for watching my video and commenting. As far as the substrate goes, It's just black aquarium sand that I picked up at Petco. . . . nothing fancy.

Alyssa Loyet - 7 years ago

Great video and very informative. I loved the close ups you did with the birth, molting, and back legs.

BoingBB - 7 years ago

Amazing camerawork! I learned so much watching this video and I'm now going to set up a shrimp tank. I have kept them before but it was a while ago and I had forgotten how much I used to enjoy watching them! Thanks for posting this video :)

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are very welcome. Good luck with your new shrimp tank. :)

muura karoliina - 7 years ago

I love your videos! So informative, but the narration is also very whimsical, like in a storybook... "Happy Birthday" made me so delighted. The lack of sound is my favourite thing, I can concentrate so well on what is going on ... thank you!

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are very welcome. I love your comment . . . Some people prefer audio, reading text is too much work I guess :) However, I'm with you, I think that the lack of sound focuses your attention on the cinematography. Thank you for your time. . . .

munchichi8 - 7 years ago

I wonder what these taste like?

The Dave - 7 years ago

I prefer mangoes. . .

munchichi8 - 7 years ago

Yes I have eaten ghost shrimp RAW! It taste like slimy meat with barely any taste. Sweet almost......

The Dave - 7 years ago

I was talking about Dechlorinator. . . not chlorine, dechlorinator uses toxic chemicals to remove chlorine. Not good for you . . . or me. You've eaten ghost shrimp ?

munchichi8 - 7 years ago

Why do you say they taste like chlorine? They look like ghost shrimp and ghost shrimp doesn't taste bad.........

The Dave - 7 years ago

Like dechlorinator I imagine. LOL, . . . it wouldn't be safe to eat them, even if they were large enough !

Do you know anything about the Macrobrachium shrimp? I have one and I really Wanna Find out its gender and wonder If it would eat My baby shrimp... it eats My fishes When they die anyways.. thanks!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Hello, thank you for watching my video. Are you certain that you have both males and female cherry shrimp ? I know very little about the Macrobrachium shrimp because I've never kept them.

tri morey - 7 years ago

You are officially my second favorite shrimp youtuber online... and I am unbelievably picky. O'Leary and college lecturers tie for first. Absolutely fantastic and so far no one beats your video quality, so it is a VERY close second. A longer video including breeding and genetics would have put you over the top, but that is only a personal preference and interest, so I really can't fault a fella for that. Also, I have Autism and ADHD and I REALLY appreciate that your videos come without added noise so we can just concentrate on the info and video unimpeded by the distraction of sound.

Aubrey Franklin - 7 years ago

I agree, the video is incredibly detailed visually making it wonderful all on it's own. Music is a highly personal preference, so it was a very uniquely wise and refreshing choice to stick solely to the topic everyone who clicked enjoys. Those tiny mystery bugs infesting the empty shell are driving me nuts though, what the heck are they!?

Sophia Tellman - 7 years ago

This is the video resolution and information accuracy that I love seeing, especially as a marine science major.

lilchichiboo - 7 years ago

Wow such a beautiful and informative video great job, definitely has helped me as I've been considering starting a cherry shrimp aquarium myself, this has been very helpful thanks for making such a great video. I did have one question, would the cherry shrimp be safe if you wanted to have other shrimp in the same aquarium, like for example blue velvet shrimp or some of those shrimp you referred to that were other colors but were still cherry shrimp?

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are very welcome.

lilchichiboo - 7 years ago

Yes, that does help, thank you so much for replying.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Yes, they would be safe, but they are all the same species, so the blues and the reds would cross-breed and eventually all of your shrimp would look kind of plain and boring ( like a wild-type shrimp). So, it would be better to keep them apart. However, You could combine Neocaridina species ( cherry shrimp) with Caridina shrimp ( crystal red , or bee shrimp ) because they are a different genus of shrimp. As long as the water parameters are similar, they'll be ok.I hope this helps.

Sarah Allen - 7 years ago

Very good quality video. How could you tell when a shrimp was about to molt or one was about to hatch?

Sarah Allen - 7 years ago

Haha wow I want to witness something like that too!

The Dave - 7 years ago

HI Sarah, thank you for watching my video. You can tell when a shrimp is about to molt because they stop their constant feeding and picking at things with their claws. They sit quite still and move / wave their swimmeretes around quite quickly, even though they are not swimming. Both of these behaviors are unusual. As far as the eggs hatching, it's really hard to tell. You see one baby already hatched in the tank and then you watch the female for hours hoping to get lucky !

frogpillstuff - 7 years ago

I've been watching videos on shrimp, gathering information before I get some. Your video is by far the most informative I've watched. The close-up work is superb! The only thing I could criticise would be the lack of a tank setup section but that's a very minor thing. Easily the best cherry shrimp video I've watched. Thanks for your efforts.

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are welcome, and thank you for the wonderful comments. Get these shrimp they are wonderful and pretty easy to keep.

Edmund Squid - 7 years ago

I have a 20 gallon tall tank. It will have live plants, a school of tetras and a few other fish. Just wondering if I need a separate breeder tank or if I can just let them be in the 20 gal. tank with the rest of the critters.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Shrimp are best kept in a shrimp only tank.

The Dave - 7 years ago

It depends on the fish species in the tank. It is best to start with a densely planted tank and just shrimp. Let them get established, breeding like crazy, then add small non-predatory fish. Endlers worked for me. It's the baby shrimp that are really in danger.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you, I appreciate your input. Please watch my video about the Strange and Beautiful Mystery Snail. That one uses a voice to read the script. Please let me know what you think of my voice. Some people find it to be creepy ! Thank you for your comments.

Nicolai Christensen - 7 years ago

I agree 100%, the one thing you could do to make the video even better, is if you read the script out loud.

The fotage and the detale is fantastic, and the info is realy great. But i (perhaps because i'm not the best reader) have a hard time keeping focus on a video with so much reading. The optimal for one like me, is if you keep the video as it is, but you just read the text :)

Great job

The Dave - 7 years ago

The Dave - 7 years ago

No there is no sound, it helps to focus the viewer's attention on the images. Plus, a few people have said that my voice sounds creepy ! Watch my mystery snail video, I narrate it. Is my voice creepy ?

7:45 "pH 6.0-8.0 | KH 1-10 | GH 4-14 | TDS 80-250"
Is it really necessary to pay attention to KH, GH and TDS?

+1 upvoted (very helpful vid)

The Dave - 7 years ago

It's really not necessary, but I try to be thorough. Cherry shrimp are actually pretty tolerant of many different water parameters / hardness levels. It's really only an issue if they have troubles when shedding.

Damien Hume - 7 years ago

Great video, great pictures and thank you bud. Very interesting...

The Dave - 7 years ago

Not a problem . . Everyone seems to really like it !

James Miller - 7 years ago

10:21 Is this shrimp chilling out of the water? can they do that? also is it possible to have vampire crabs living on a land section in the same tank since the crabs will be on land and the shrimp in the water or is there some sort of biological disease that could spread

James Miller - 7 years ago

Ser Gio yea there isn't enough water anyway its more of a shallow pool

Ser Gio - 7 years ago

The crabs will eat your shrimp. Bad combo.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Cherry shrimp do not chill out of the water, however they will climb out of the tank if conditions are not to their liking. As to your other question, there is always the possibility of a disease spreading from one crustacean to another, but I don't know much about vampire crabs.

Cool, good luck with your new shrimp, and thanks for watching !

JDT0923 - 7 years ago

Great Video by the way.

finalout99 - 7 years ago

I have to agree. This is THE best video on RCP on YouTube. Thank you for your time and dedication in making it.

Quick question. My berried shrimp keep "aborting" their eggs. Do you have an opinion on, say, two or three reasons why my RCS are doing this? Mind you the colony was transplanted to a dedicated 10 gallon planted tank. The colony was producing well in a community tank. Now it's stagnant? Water perameters are relatively the same. The only difference is a change from a gravel substrate to an inert sand substrate and water temp from 77° to 72°? I'm at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Young females will occasionally shed their eggs when stressed. Even, mature females will shed their eggs if they are very stressed. So, some form of stress would be my first guess. It may also be a change in water parameters when you transplanted the colony. So, it could be a change in pH, water hardness ( kh / gh ), etc. This is really just another form of stress. Is it possible that they are crowded ? I would look for stressors. Another possibility is that the eggs were not fertilized. The ladies will do better when they settle down. They might just need some time to adjust. I hope this helps.

Allyson Chains - 7 years ago

Theory On Molt Bugs:
Either rotifers or copepods. Both beneficial, compost waste & are invertebrates benefiting from eating the molt. They are already in your substrate & scoot inside during molting. I studied my shrimp molts & do not have them but keep a culture of both in other containers. I study them under a microscope. Rotifers stay under 0.5mm and copepods under 1mm. The size, movement and behavior seems right. I may add my culture back to the tank because the molts take too long to break down; however, copepods eat rotifers:)
Love this video!

The Dave - 7 years ago

My shrimp seem healthy, so these creatures may in fact be beneficial or at least harmless. It's awesome that you're looking at them with a microscope. Thanks for your input.

Tracy Lee - 7 years ago

THE DAVE!! My gosh, this video is incredible. It must have taken you forever to do and was probably a lot of fun. Thank you so much for doing it. Do you know or know of Rachel O'Leary? She is another gifted fish keeper and has a youtube page of her own. I'm glad Kaitlyn Lowder posted the information on those parasites, very informative. It's easy to see now why it's important to remove the molt instead of leaving it in the tank. Look for Rachal O'Leary. You guys need to know each other!

The Dave - 7 years ago

HI Tracy, sorry it took a while to respond. The world is treating me well, spending lots of time filming. I wish I had more time to devote to the videos though. Silly full time job . . .

Tracy Lee - 7 years ago

Hello, The Dave! How's the world treating you?

The Dave - 7 years ago

You are very welcome Tracy, It's nice to have a new fan !

Tracy Lee - 7 years ago

THANK YOU, THE DAVE! It helped a lot. There's plenty of hiding places so I think I'm just seeing the signs leading up to the Main Event. They've molted several times and the behavior has been consistent so I think everybody's fine. Keep up the great work, Dave and thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.

The Dave - 7 years ago

Yes, their behavior does change. The main sign with the Cherries is the movement of the pleopods ( swimmerets) . Normally, they only wave them when swimming or when they have eggs. They also stop picking at everything with their claws and they look for a place to hide. If your shrimp are molting normally, then there is no need to add anything to the tank. Just be sure to provide a place for them to hide when they molt. A lack of a good hiding place may be the cause the Amano's stress. However, Molting is very stressful, so it's perfectly normal for them to show some discomfort. I hope this helps.

Tracy Lee - 7 years ago

That's what I'm trying to ask. How many days before they molt does their behavior start to change? One of my Amano shrimp started acting like he was about to molt but it took a few days for the molt to actually happen. He seemed to be very uncomfortable, almost frantic at times. Is there an additive or something that I should be doing to help them? Thanks again, Dave. I haven't stopped talking about this video for a week!

The Dave - 7 years ago

I can tell when a shrimp is about to molt by their behavior an hour or so before they actually do it. They stop feeding and rooting around. They sit still and wave their swimmerets.

Tracy Lee - 7 years ago

The Dave i didn't ask the question very well. No worries!

The Dave - 7 years ago

You can see how long it takes in the video. It's done in seconds. . .

Tracy Lee - 7 years ago

Hey, guy.....I only know Rachel from watching her videos but I did try to send her a link to this video. Lol I'm not the greatest at this stuff but I do know greatness when I see it and you sir are one gifted filmmaker. Here's a question about Amano shrimp and I quess shrimp in general......from start to finish how long does it take one to molt? Can it be as long as a couple of days or more like a couple of hours? Thanks again, Dave, I am a fan!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Making it was both fun and tedious. Yes, I have heard of Rachel O'Leary. I wonder if she's ever seen one of my videos ? And yes, Kaitlyn Lowder 's information was very valuable. Now, it does seem as if removing the shrimp's freshly molted shells might be of some benefit in combatting those little protozoans !!! :)

Allyson Chains - 7 years ago

Thank you, I am glad that my video was helpful.

Robi Dawn - 7 years ago

is there anything that can be used in the tank to support the molting phase some of my shrimp seem to be stuck in there skeletons like half broken out and died

The Dave - 7 years ago

Failed molts can sometimes be a result of improper water parameters (general hardness, and carbonate hardness ). Some people add cuttlebone to the tank in order to provide more calcium to the shrimp. However, as shrimp get older, molts can sometimes fail for no reason other than old age. Molting is very stressful !

Mason's carnivorous plants. - 7 years ago

Bladder snails are awesome, my tank was full of algae and i got ten from a pond, put em in my tank and in 3 weeks the snails ate all the algae. And they didnt touch a single plant. Not to mention they are similar to ramshorns.

Mijat Stanojević - 7 years ago

I like the video is really beautifull...I've got a question...can I use a plastic plants in my aquarium and what I need for air in aquarium or maybe I don't need nothing...?Please help me.. :)

The Dave - 7 years ago

You may have a male and a female.

Mijat Stanojević - 7 years ago

The Dave One Shrimp have more fat tail and is more fat but anotherone is smoller and the tail is skiny

The Dave - 7 years ago

It's fine to have only 2 shrimp in the tank, male and female would be good if you want babies. Keep the water clean, and make changes slowly.

Mijat Stanojević - 7 years ago

I have tomorrow to buy but I wan't only two if is OK...In my aquarium I have and plastic and live plants..I have little stones in so many colors and this stones I buyed in Petshop...

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you for subscribing !

The Dave - 7 years ago

Yes, you can use plastic plants that are designed for aquariums, but real plants would be much better. Some easy aquarium plants that don't require much light or extra care are Java Fern, Java Moss, and Anubias plants. You may be able to get away without using air, but the water must be very clean. A sponge filter attached to a small air pump would be a better idea. There are people who keep these shrimp in outdoor ponds with no air, but they have live plants. A lot depends on the size of the tank, how many shrimp you have, and what you put into the tank.

Kaitlyn Lowder - 7 years ago

The little guys in the molt are perhaps apostome ciliates! My colleague has told me they feed on exuvial fluid, which this paper suggests too: http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1550-7408.2004.tb00598.x?prevSearch=&journalCode=eumi. I've seen them in saltwater-species molts too!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you so much, I enjoyed making it. I would've liked to have put in more information about the various uses of the different appendages, internal organs, antennae uses and functions, etc. However, at just over 22 minutes in length, I had to draw the line somewhere! Perhaps I'll make another one soon and cover the more obscure stuff that people probably have very little interest in. . .

Kaitlyn Lowder - 7 years ago

I should also add that I love the video so so much!! It's amazing to see the little claws and all of the chromatophores up close!

The Dave - 7 years ago

Thank you so much for the link, and the information. I had a look at it, and I would have to agree with your conclusion. It appears as if they might do some harm to the shrimp, or at the very least weaken their immune system. The life cycle of these ciliates seems fairly intrusive. Thanks again. . . I need to buy a microscope !

My cherries are currently in a tank heated to 80 degrees Fahrenheit because I have read that a higher temperature speeds up reproductive rates. Have you heard of temperature affecting the reproductive rates?

Yes, higher temps. will speed things up, but it can also burn out the shrimp more quickly. It speeds up the entire metabolic clock. Thank you for watching my video, and leaving a comment / compliment.
