Recently we had a female molt and leave her eggs inside of it, Kept them separate to the tank and used a airline to keep the oxygen and them moving, Few days later 20 plus baby's of snowflakes all grown up now looking fantastic. Great vidoe Bene this will help people 👍
Great video Ben 👏 can we also discuss the role of biofilm for shrimplets in another video? 😁 There’s a lot of conflicting beliefs. We don’t use powder or biofilm foods for shrimplets, because we prefer cleaner environments for water parameter changes, but also a lot of conflicting information here too 😎
I've always liked your videos. I really like, on this one, how you've added the extra details regarding ph, gh and soil when viewing your different tanks.
I think personally the caridina species will do ok in a wide range of GH, between 2-6 even 7/8 for some breeders i know. There are breeders who does OBRBT/tiger genes in Neo parameters and they do well also. i think more critically is the pH. Too low pH for OEBT isn't great for breeding and a slightly higher pH will be ok around 6 and above. Crystals will tolerate higher pH but prefers a slightly more acidic water parameters. Hope that helps.
yeah for sure! My OEBT seem to be doing better in higher GH but maybe thats because I also raised the PH by increasing GH. I very rarely test for PH bc its such a pain, usually im just checking TDS. ( have ADA aqua soil to lower my ph)
Bene, for section Why shrimplets don't survive. I am no expert but based on my observations, I am more successful of continuous breeding in my 1 tank (5 gallon only) maybe because I have tones of plants/moss. What do you think?
for breeding i think it is fine, for selective breeding might be a different scenario because during selective breeding mostly it is a pair, a male and female and if there are lots of coverage, sometimes we wouldn't even know if the shrimp is still alive. Having some mosses in selective breeding tanks are ok and for those tanks that wanna churn out numbers, yes having a lot of mosses eventually will help as there are plenty of biofilm and microorganism within the ecology when we have mosses.
@@ShrimpSanctuary is it possible if we put them on a breeder box or set up a isolated small breeding aquariums 2-3gallons(or less) with plants? Once berried, segregate and put back to tank? I have 4 tanks(5 gal) so far (started with 12 shrimps). 1 of my tank is not properly breeding, all same water parameters. The difference was it has newer / lesser plants. Let me know, thank you.
@@aquapalsnpets we generally use 10G for selective breeding but smaller is possible. Just keep the pair in there even after berried. Then remove the babies and let the pair keep breeding.
yes they're SS basket, and i add soil instead of media, because we are going to try the next thing. but yes you can also add media if you like so everything is kept above line, and that we can continue to have a full view of the shrimps
Be patient, if you cross any shrimps variant, the first stage of their offsprings, mostly not have good looking of appearance. If you don't want the risk, we suggest keep focus on one strain
Hello , currently I am cycling my tank . I just test the water parameter . ph 6 , 0 ammonia , 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate . So is there any wrong with the reading ??

@@danscotland5786 thanks. I'll need to keep that in mind.
thanks for the video bend needed this
cheers
The most important part of shrimp keeping 🎉
Thanks for the video!
thanks!
Ive had advice to keep my OERBT in high GH compared to my crystal/bee shrimp. Have you heard that before?

I see you also have those Orange Eye Ghost Bee? Not sure what you call them?
shrimp?

Are those stainless steel baskets with extra media in them,??
Where did you buy them please?
yes they're SS basket, and i add soil instead of media, because we are going to try the next thing. but yes you can also add media if you like so everything is kept above line, and that we can continue to have a full view of the shrimps
@@ShrimpSanctuary I meant buffering soil instead of media, sorry.
Where did you get them please?
@@aaronarmstrongaaI'm based in Singapore not sure if you be able to get it unless I help ship
Theyre yours? You produce them?
@@aaronarmstrongaa I don't. I got it here
Do you make your own Kallex or Labao balls?
If you buy them which ones do you buy?
Hand made.
What is the minimum frying basket for?
@@peterempire1777 easier reset of soil.
I crossed PRL vs red fancy tiger ! But shrimplets looks ugly 😢
keep trying

Can't have 0 for all, it means it's not cycling. need to have an ammonia source
