GETTING GHOST SHRIMP !
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Hey guys TODAY I GOT SHRIMP for my fish tank. Don't worry I had them for a few days and the Betta is okay and all the other fish are okay with the Shrimp. These are Ghost Shrimp so they are see through and... one of the shrimp is pregnant :) so hopefully we will have baby ghost shrimp swimming around the fish tank.

Challenge the Wild
Cute 😍
Challenge the Wild you have a pregnant shrimp you should put it in the old betta tank so they don't get eaten and make sure the water is warm or they will die also make sure the mom is with them and she will give you about 30 little shrimp you can see them wham they are born
You will also have to remove the mother and add a bit of aquarium salt with the baby ghosts.
Challenge the Wild I don't even know how I got here honestly, but Igave you a sub just for the fact you mentioned Racine and Kenosha. I was born in Racine and live in keno right now. So here's some likes for ya.
The music to the shrimps walking around on the bottom fits shockingly perfect LOL
Ahh ikr :)
CoffeeCat I thought the same
james you're not a professional, but you are the king of beginners! you do literally everything good aquariums👌 keep up man💪
+CΞNK ΞLMAS thanks so much omg the king 👑
Challenge the Wild 😊👍
Lol The King
I remember when I was really small my mom had a shrimp and after one of my fish died, I saw the shrimp eating it and I was like "nooooo I hate you shrimp!" but now shrimp and I are friends.
.

I'll never forget what you did to Angel though. I am always, ALWAYS, watching shrimppp.
+CinnamonRollyPollie omg I'm sorry . they are bottom feeder though
CinnamonRollyPollie d
They are known to pick at things though
Cinnamon I hope angel is happy that u made a new fwen even tho the shrimp ate her I'm sure she is thankful cuz you took care of her!
you always have loving memories of her 👧❤🐟
Well, they are scavengers. RIP Angel.
one of your shrimp is berried meaning its holding baby shrimps
+Jackie Wu IKKKKK its pregnant I'm so happy
might need to add more hiding spots, as the shrimplettes would need them in order to survive from the fish and ghost shrimp also are territorial.
Separate them so the other fish don't eat them.
I saw that too. I was like OMGG
Lmao I saw that too
You should get some bogwood/drift wood because shrimps like to hide in that and it's good for them to chew on. Also shrimps and snails give off a very small bio-load so you can have quite a lot without it putting much pressure on the filter!
+The Dobby Gecko sweet thanks I was thinking about getting some other decorations
Im gonna ask my mom If we can get a gold fish from the carnival tomorrow to see if my betta attacks it. My betta is in a tank with a sucker fish, I advise you get a sucker fish for the tank. My betta's name is Rainbow and the sucker fish is leopard they get along great but its only because sucker fish for some reason get along with betta fish lol, if my betta gets along with a gold fish I can have a lively tank! Hope you guys like my essay there. :) OH btw shrimp can clean your nails.
THE MUSIC MATCHES THEIR SCAMPERING, THIS MAKES ME HAPPY
+Beezeecade tanks so much
You have a pregnant shrimp!
Ahhh I know Im so happy I cant wait to see them when I get home :) here is a new unlisted video ua-cam.com/video/DRt6in8JSv4/v-deo.html
Also, they will only live a year tops after being born. They seem like adults, so good luck with dead shrimp in a few weeks, months at most. But it's also hard to put small shrimp in there cause the fish will eat them. I'm not bashing, or hating. I actually LOVE Ghost Shrimp. They are insanely cheap, but are awesome to watch. It's also fun to get someone to find them all. Lol!
i got 3 today for my 5.5 gallon with my betta, they get along very well. They LOVE to hide. I got this mini cave and one likes to hide there. A lifeguard chair- thing one hides there, and a bridge (one hides there). I love fishkeeping!!
you have pregnant ghost shrimp, if you want the shrimp fry to survive, you will want something like java moss for them to hide in, or put the pregnant ghost shrimp in a separate tank and when they are born put the mom in the big tank. the other fish and adult shrimp will eat the fry
+Gretta Gritsy I was gone for a week and now the. Shrimp doesnt have fry it might have layed them but I don't see any the other fish might have eaten them
A lot of people seem to say you can't breed these but my girlfriend has had some success in getting baby shrimp in her tank. So if you have a lot of cover and places for them to hide you may get some tiny shrimp down the road.
The word your looking for is cherry shrimp haha! I had 2 for free because I'm a regular:D I've seen around 6 in my tank now 😂 so their breeding lol! I wouldn't bother with snails, because you have the shrimp:) I have corys and they look amazing as bottom eaters In a tank :)
Yeah #cherryshrimp. One of my shrimp is pregnant how do I care for the babies ?
No need to worry bout their babies, they know what to do hehehe. At first I have 3 pairs of cherry shrimp, after a week perhaps, they produced many baby shrimps, and still counting. Right now, they're in my 50gal tank together with my dumbo ear mosaic mollies. :)
does any of you know where I can buy a cherry shrimp here in irving just asking thanks
che350z ok thanks but what is the price range?
They sell 10 goldfish for 2$ and 10 ghost shrimp for 2$ at my pet store
I think that the Molly was like "Mmmm, dinner!" when you were acclimating the shrimp to the tank!
Ghost shrimp are cool my dude but not the greatest choice. If you want some shrimp that will colonize and continue to breed within the tank you should defiantly go with cherry shrimp. Purchase your self some of those and some java moss. Also get yourself some wood for them to graze on. Adding wood will also lower your ph and help with water quality. Just some tips for ya! Also shrimp breeding tubes are also very helpful with breeding. They're just usually three small tubes stacked in a triangular shape.
Best of luck,
Nick
Sweet thanks im thinking about making a small tank with Glossostigma Elatinoides and some cherry shrimp :)
ua-cam.com/video/DRt6in8JSv4/v-deo.html
One's pregnant, so sweet! 😭😂
You've got a shrimp clutching eggs. Those green dots under the shrimp are shrimp eggs 😊 also, the red and orange shrimp are called cherry shrimp. I have kept them with betta's before, but it was a good idea to begin with ghost shrimp as they are larger than cherry's. I have had a betta eat cherry shrimp before, but have also successfully kept them with other bettas. Depends on your fish's temperament.
The music for the shrimp was so funny😂
Ha ha my name is James! I think you should get a snail!
OMG #jamesarmy :) I think i will
What's even easier is to dump the bag of fish or shrimp into your net over the sink and then put your new pets into your tank.
Next time you acclimate shrimp let them sit for at least 1 hour. Shrimp are extremely sensitive to water and temperature changes.
Thats so true I will :)
I cannot wait to see your channel grow real big 😊
Awe thanks that means so much :)
It did
Ive had fish for 40 years...its so nice to see someone so into learning about keeping fish...you are doing well!
WOW thats awesome 40 YEARS! thats so cool im might want to get a small salt water tank just for coral :)
I think you should add some driftwood to add hiding spaces and so that the shrimp can eat it.
Yeah thats what someone else told me I will definitely get some for a 20 gallon if i get one...
Be careful because, without a lid, your betta might attempt to jump out
Thats true Im gonna buy one
Challenge the Wild Also, if you do decide to get a snail. majority of the time people will get mystery snails and they need air to breathe (similar to betta) so they will crawl up the side and will crawl out the tank without a lid~
Also Bettas need a very heavily planted environment. I’d suggest live plants with Co2 and not fake hard plastic plants so your long finned fish fins don’t get torn
james please get mystery snaills they are not exspensive at all and they will help clean your tank and they are fun to watch
I love mystery snails they are so huge :) i really want one
Tip: when getting shrimp/fish out of bag, just set your net above a bucket and pour all contents of bag through net into bucket and bam you have your shrimp/fish seperated and can be easily set into the tank.
+Patrick Ang aawesome thanks that would prevent any bad water going into the tank 😊
The shrimp will breed really fast
True
At the moment I have about 24 red cherry shrimp but I only started off with 4
Karl's critters mine never breeded
Karl's critters Jesus
Karl's critters The betta will take care of that
Unfortunatly ghost shrimp require brackish (salt but not full marine) water in their larval stage, because unlike cherry shrimp they don't hatch out of the egg into miniature adults. So you wont see any baby's.
Awe really I didnt know that what kind of salt
I love the sound effects... they are just right!!!
Hey. I love your enthusiasm and your tank! I work at a pet store, I don’t know who baged your shrimp but there should be so much more oxygen in that bag. Like half water. Have air and the rubber band on the top of the bag. Your fish could have died.
0o0 one of your shrimp came pregnant, that being said ghost shrimp larvae are hard to raise to maturity because of their fairly intense needs. For the most part I think ghost shrimp need a bit of salt in the water for best results because of where they originally come from. Also in terms of food liquid or powder food is what the larva will need early in life, unless you have allot of micro organisms in the tank to begin with. In that case you are fine mostly.
+Chris Wu ahh thanks but the eggs didn't work? Didn't hatch
Me: looking at the thumbnail
Also me: There is nothing in the bag stoopid
Me: Looks at title
Also me: Oh
Bettas can live with other fish, normally they are in 2,5 gallon tanks alone, but since you have what looks like a 10 gallon tank it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The other fish you have are quite a bit faster than the betta (Bettas aren't the best swimmers) that being said, you should probably not add more to your tank now, it's not too overcrowded but adding more will stress out your betta which might make it more aggressive
Looks like a good first community tank though! You'll be more than addicted to this hobby in no time
But if you begin seeing damages to the tail of the betta it's because he has begun attacking fish / he has hurt himself on some of the plants (Only really goes if the plants are made of a rougher plastic material)
If that begins happening you need to isolate him in a tank alone
+Reclade thanks so much my betta and fosh get along well, I might get a 20 gallon because they are on sail for a dollar a gallon
+Reclade it might have been the plastic of the plant because I got 2 real plants after and there has been no new damage
I suggest taking pictures of him from different angles, sometimes it's hard to notice differences in the damage of the fins if you look at him every day
Compare him in a week or two to the pictures, if there is no further fin damage then the damage you see is probably from him being stressed the first time he was introduced to the tank
My betta is in a 20 gallon planted tank.
You should cut a piece of filter sponge and put it over the filter intake to keep the shrimp from being sucked up
That’s overstocking the tank. If you really want the fish, be sure to do a gravel siphon and a 50% water change every week to prevent an ammonia spike
actually shrimp don't get a lot of protein and vitamins from just colllectinf algage and food off the bottom. I recommend getting freshwater shrimp pellets and feeding him 2 of the pellets every other day. Otherwise they starve.
This kid is so cute I am so happy he loves his fish
You should of used black rocks that way you can see the shrimp a lot easier. Also, Ive had a 20 gallon set up for about 3 weeks now and I put in about 17 ghost shrimp in and i think my platies and baby guppies have been eating them (yes my baby guppies are aggressive for their tiny size). That being said make sure you give them plenty of places to hide because mine stay hidden 24/7.
Don't bother getting shrimp because when algae produces on the glass the shrimp will eat it for food. Also still clean the tank regularly though.
I haven't had any algae in my tank yet ?
Shrimp 🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐 Yay ps I love your tank and vids 🙂
i think it needs to be more heavily planted so the other fish can hide better also the betta may or may not eat the shrimps
Yeah thats smart because betta are known for eating shrimp :) here is a new video :) ua-cam.com/video/snehlS4yCY8/v-deo.html
The shrimps reproduce a lot and eat real life plants. I removed all of mine cuz of that. Sweet vid tho dude.
I want my ghost shimp too but they need brackish water
I'm almost done with a ten gallon with a school of ten neon tetras, two cory catfish, and about ten ghost shrimp. I know it sounds crowded with the tetras but their relatively small, and I have a great filter and aerator set up to go with it.
you are actually supposed to put shrimp in a bucket and have a hose leading from the tank to the pink with pinch in the hose to drip small amounts of water in order for them to be adjusted that is what i saw from a video
If you put an almond leaf in the tank, it will create some slime like stuff on its surface, that the shrimp should eat as well👌
Sweet thanks thats really cool
Take all of these comments you get on here with a grain of salt. As someone who recently hardcore got into the hobby, all of my research has shown me that nothing is really set in stone. When someone tells you a "fact" research it. Most of the time it's false or only a little true. This is also a very expensive hobby and some of the things people suggest require a completely different set up than what you're running. I saw one person suggest a carpeting plant. Don't waste your money. They require high light and usually injected CO2. (Again even saying that, some people say you don't need injected CO2 and have had success without it) If you really want to get into the hobby and get the livestock you say you want, research everything exhaustively before you buy it. I use plantedtank.net and fishlore. They usually have VERY seasoned and knowledgeable people that are usually more than willing to give advice and tips. There is a lot of info to learn (as I'm sure you're finding) and a lot of it contradicts itself so it kind of still is a personal trial and error thing. Good luck and welcome to the hobby! And remember, RESEARCH! RESEARCH! RESEARCH!
Awe thanks so much :) I have been wanting a website to research on this means so much thanks XD
You need all the snails lol
I don't know if you have but I would change the rocks to something a little finer that the shrimp can pick up not playsand cause they can sometimes eat playsand so just a fine gravel
I like you're setup, I have that same tank and I put a turtle and beta together in it
Wow awesome tnaks so much :)
You may want to consider a Betta hammock for him. Mine enjoys his a lot.
i like the joker lamp thats really cool my dude
AHHHH your the first to find it :) your the best :)
You should get a carpeting plant and heaps more other plants
Sweet where can I buy some :)
At a pet store , ask your local pet store if he has any if not ask where you can get some
Watch out for those lil Ghosties, Betta's are known shrimp lovers. ;)
I've heard that too but I made sure to add tons of hiding spots for them :)
Though I'm not 100% sure all the fish you have, the tank size, and your filter, make sure to do research because it looks like you have a few platties who are pretty active fish! But I love the shrimp addition just make sure your fish don't pick them off! They can breed really fast o babies because a snack for other fish so your tank shouldn't over populate :)
the shrimp will be great to keep algae off the plants
I haven't had any algae yet... *knock on wood
when adding in new fish get them aclimated in the bag then get a tub and a net put the net over the tub and drain the fish into the net so the water goes through so theire is no risk of cross contaminating the warter once u open the bag the fish came in amonia will increase as soon as the water hits air thats why draining the fish into the net with a bucket under them is much safer
+Twisted Angel tanks so much thanks gonna help a lot when I get new fish :)
Challenge the Wild no problem always willing to help out a fellow fish keeper some good channels you should check out are the king of diy and solid gold solid gold is goldfish based but she has useful info that can be universal to fish keeping not just gold fish to help u get better info for future fish keeping and problems that may arise
Lol your like me. I'm 12 and I got my brother a betta fish for my brother for his birthday in August. And of course, like many, I did not do my research. I had him in a 1 gallon corner tank with freezing cold water. But, my knowledge has grown and he is now in a 2.5 gallon tank with a light and filter. Since then, I've gotten 2 more Betta fish (one of them died at the age of 2 years and 6 months, due to lack of care from a former owner), a ghost shrimp, a snail, and a 20 gallon tank with guppies, mollies, neon tetras, tetras, danios, and a bristle nose pleco. It seems to me that in the fish keeping hobby you learn from your mistakes and it just gets more and more addicting.
Thats so awesome we have like the same things :)
I once got a snail and they took over my tank. I personally wouldn't get one. I would get a cat fish, they stay to them selfs and mine lived for 3 years.
+Danny Burns wow were they assassin snails
Finally! You got the Shrimp. I was waiting for that.😂 Love your videos though.
+Fetus Me thanks I'm so glad I found them thanks for all the help
Great fish tank! With good size fish for the tank too... like the others have a red tail catfish in 10 gallons...
Those ghost shrimps' backs look just like a slightly exaggerated version of one of my golden dojo loaches whose tuberculosis gave her a crooked back. It went away eventually, thank goodness, but she has a little trouble staying upright as she does quick turns. Had to relearn how to swim. Simply keeps on eating as she rolls over.
I recommend getting some sinking pellets, all though they are cleaning crew, they still need some more food to supplement in their diet!
+OpticsVision The Boss Tthanks so much I will
how would the beta, shrimp, and an angel koi faire? if you know?
awe angel koi are very cool if you get shrimp make sure they have a lot of hiding spaces and there are some real plants for them to live on
I was just watching some videos on UV Sterilizers in tanks, they don't sound too costly. They really seem to work great but I never used one before, I just waited for the water to balance itself. What do people think about UVSs for milky water?
+musicalmarion ive watched a few videos on them it stops the bacteria from reproducing so I usually works
One of your shrimp is Prego if you look it's the one with a bunch of dots under it's tale so good luck that's awesome mine are Prego too
I reccomend a lid because they are jumpers
You're doing a better job than I did😂 it's nice seeing how passionate you are so early on! give it some time and you'll have 10 60 gallon tanks 😉
Awe tank you (get it like a fish tank) Im gonna get a salt water mico reef maybe
Have fun with your shrimps! They're addicting. ☺️😉
One of the ghost shrimp is pregnant so i will have even MORE
usually we use ghost shrimp as a fish food lol
Thats so cool one of yur ghost shrimps is pregnant.
there are plenty of ghost shrimps in the pond near my house...and lot of zipper loaches... trying to get a pair of zippers but they are too hard to catch
You should stick 1-3 in your one gallon and start setting up a fish room
Or better yet put the baby shrimp in there
Im gonna set up an awesome one gallon for some cherry shrimp :) here is a new video that hasn't been released yet :)
ua-cam.com/video/-xJNsWV7lwk/v-deo.html
Challenge the Wild neeto
maybe its a good idea to get a lit for jumping fish
+Koen Langedijk thats true and I do have a betta and they are know for jumping out
Great Video Mate, if you add some driftwood, almond leaf to the aquarium it will good or your fish :)
It's soooo sympathic how happy you are about your fish and shrimp 😍 I love it!!!
hey you should get a Mexican dwarf crayfish if you can one in your tank would look awesome
+PrimeTimeSkates wow they look so awesome I love how they are colorful thanks 😄
I would say those are under an inch actually. They only grow to an inch and a half max
How do you get real plants to grow in a fish tank with rocks an the bottom?
So cool! You've inspired me to get Ghost Shrimp in my tank. I'd like to get other colors as well, but since Ghost Shrimp are so affordable, they are a great way to make sure that your tank is safe for shrimp.
+Travis Congleton awesome I really like them but all the other shrimp cost way more 😂
Yeah, they get super expensive! That's why I think it's a good idea to start with Ghost Shrimp and make sure they can survive first. I don't want to kill any of them, but I'd rather lose Ghost Shrimp and not one that costs $10 or more.
One of your shrimp are buried. Aka holding eggs so you should have a bunch of little ghost shrimps
+Aidan Keys i know I'm so lucky thanks 😊
lol. the shrimp and the music selection was perfect! :-) Nice video. Good looking fish, good looking family. :-) You seem like a really nice and cool dude. We need more folks like you in the world. Thanks for your vids.
awe tanks so much :)
Hey as you showed us the shrimp I think I saw one with eggs
+RAE RAE it was but then Idk what happened but in my new tank its pregnate again
I just came across your channel today because I am also starting the aquatic hobby! I almost lost it when I heard you say "Kenosha & Racine" I am from Racine too!! I've never seen you around! Just thought it was pretty cool! (: I love your additions btw! I cannot wait to add more life to my aquarium! I just set up my 29 gallon tank yesterday, super excited about it!
Careful keeping betta and shrimps. My betta murdered nearly 3/4 of all my shrimps ( and yes they were fed enough ) your betta could see your shrimps for food
In Malaysia we can just see this shrimp everywhere lol.
An Inca snail (also known as mystery snail) is a good snail to keep. I have one in my ten gallon divided tank. My tank is heavily planted so it has lots to eat and I also give it some extra food. The snail can grow up to two inches so I don't know if your tank can handle its bio load. My snail is one and a half inches long and it produces a lot of waste.
I liked your ghost shrimp. I've had some before. They molt their skin every once in a while so don't forget to clean it up.
+Rain Ford omg thats so cool its either an assassin snail or a mystersnail that I might get. I cant wait for them to molt I hope I get good video of it
I like the setup but I’d sill recommend more plants so it looks more peaceful
james your shrimp is pregnant if you can see your shrimp has a circle around the big shrmp thats the egg
IK :0 it layed its eggs somewhere in my tank :)
hay! the betta from the last vid is here!
thats really cool man i have ghost shrimp too also glass catfish are good with betas
Wow awesome :) i want some glass catfish :)
lol through the whole video I was watching your betta chase the other fish
I got some yesterday and i think they look better in person
Make sure to get some type of fertilizer for your plants
The water's looking milky
Yeah is there anything I can do to clear it up I did a water change :)
More real plants will help in your tank but it's usually the filter at fault, you might need a better one ! I used to add a bacteria culture you buy in a bottle, that eats up the cloudiness and balances the water, but water goes through natural stages, and the first one is cloudiness, and it will settle down if there is enough bacteria to restore the balance.
I added Indian almond leaf and an amazon sword plant. He leaves can turn water tan/brown but it’s healthy for Betta. Not sure if it’s compatible with your other fish. I am adding shrimp to my tank today as a starter. If all goes well, I hope to add some tetras and loaches for a nice community tank.
You should get a tall-ish broad leaf plant so your betta has somewhere to rest those pretty fins. Great job though! You're a very thorough beginner!
Have you heard of a betta leaf i might want to get one thanks :)
I was going to get some for my boys but I DIYed some hammocks for them instead. They'll sit in them and float around their tanks now.
3:40 the music reminds me of simpsons hit and run hahah
Cool :)
