I know this video is old, but as a geologist I have to tell you that your rock choosing methodology is spot on.
What's the best way to tell how juicy a rock is going to be? I can never get it right!
@@ReignBeauofTerrorGive it a few slaps/knocks, like a watermelon
@@steernaught not true. You simply just ask it. Spanking it is abuse, don't be gross
@@littlewigglemonster7691 I smack it in the face of course, I would never spank a rock. That is just terrible.
@@steernaught ah fair enough, the judgement got the best of me
I desperately want to keep a plain shrimp tank. I recently got a preggo shrimp from petco and she laid. 2 of the babies are very active and they are in a small container until my goldfish tank is cycled and I can move them to another fish’s old tank. Im super excited to put them in their tank when its ready :3
excited for you!! hope it all works out :)
@BirBaily that would still be supporting them even if you just bye their supplies
@@FishForThought where did u buy the tank do you have the link?
General shout out to everyone thinking of getting their first tank... Just do it!
My second tank is beautiful (or at least to me). My first tank was okay but I enjoyed it. This is a hobby you learn by doing.
Thanks Chris for getting me to take my first steps
Uuu
My fist tank was big but I was not educated at that state so..... all the fish diead.... but know I know not to do any of the wrong things have happy planted tank :)
One of the most fun part of the hobby for me is to get an older tank, clean it completely and give it a new aquascape. Just something about giving things a fresh new look that makes me feel accomplished at this hobby.
@@arthurheine5631hell yeah, a used tank
The stardew valley soundtrack in the back is so soothing!
Absolutely agreed
Literally going to plant a shrimp tank today, this is perfect timing. Though I’m trying a iwagumi tank.
Iwagumi tanks always look so cool when they have a full carpet. What plants are you planning on adding?
@@imnotalone6745 As a 13 yr old I don’t have much money but I’ll try for dwarf baby tears or dwarf hairgrass.
@@fishingaddicts4739 dwarf baby tears would look absolutely stunning in my opinion
@@fishingaddicts4739 I'm 13 too, gonna be 14 this month
@@DanRemdor Turning 14 on April fools day (not kidding) so your a bit older than me.
The almost "You Suck at Cooking" style to begin with hooked me, but the entirety of the content kept me. This was awesome and most definitely caught my sub. Keep up the great work!
I wish if shrimp would be available here in India. I seriously NEED a shrimp tank after watching your video, I also did alot of research about how to care for them.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BTW
In what city do u live ?My LFS has shrimp .
You get all varieties of shrimp in india.
They'd be put in curry within the week
@@Ash-yl3zc why?
@@legofan-ic4df We love curries, shrimp is pretty common
The s. repens probably melted away because of the substrate. I would recommend using root tabs, but capping the substrate off with sand might be a good idea as gravels might not always keep root tabs under the substrate.
This is fantastic, I'm currently making my own shrimp tank right now, it's 3 weeks in and I'm currently getting some more plants and hardscape for it. Good to know that the diatoms will clear up!
I made the horrific mistake of moving my female Betta in with my four cherry shrimp. I ASSUMED it was safe, but you can guess how that went- Never again. SO I plan on putting together a 10 gallon tank specifically for my shrimp. I enjoy them so much. This video has given me a lot of motivation!
I did the same thing. Shrimp lasted about a week. Then I added some plants and rocks and New shrimp which i thought lasted about a week but then six months later I set up another tank and pull the rocks and there’s about a dozen shrimp hiding in there :-)
@@Eric_In_SFhehe
idk why this is so common place, why not search it up before doing it. fish eat shrimp lol
@OrganicTrash Well, according to the internet, and my local fish store- there are many cases where betta fish live peacefully with shrimp. But my luck, I picked out a fish with extra high aggression levels 😂
@@LilPondDragon you need a good sized population (50 to 100+) before adding even a peaceful betta. They'll eat the babies and leave the adults alone, but they still might go on a rampage someday. Amano shrimp are less likely to get eaten, that's another option if you have a short finned betta (they'll nibble long fins)
I am getting myself 5 queen size beds right now Chris , thanks for the tip . And Chris , don't you feel tying down some moss on your Mom's rocks would make the tank look better ? that's what I would have done .
hmm yeah that would look cool! I was kinda counting on algae to grow on it so it looks kinda mossy and it's food for the shrimp xD
@@FishForThought oh I see , yea that would make the tank have that natural vibe to it .
@bubby’s girl*** hey , what spacing are you referring to ?
@@siddharthrm6385 probably means the , the spacing between your punctuation marks such as the comma
@@Fors3s yea that's what I'm thinking she means .
I've been working on one of these for the past 8 months. A lot of it's look is inspired by Chris's advice hehe, I want to get a few more plants before I go posting it. I also want to perfect it before starting any other freshwater tanks.
awesome to know I inspired a bit of your scape!!
First shrimp of the day
Shrimp tanks are so lovely ❤❤ My mother is turning her 55 gallon into a blue shrimp only tank, I'm so excited to see it done!!
This tank looks so good... Also.. The shrimps are beautiful too
I think I'm now in love with shrimp! I love how they are just zooming around! So cute!
they should settle down to the bottom and get on with being shrimp. i breed shrimp and understand the behaviors. when they swim like that they are in a panic. 90% of the time its that they do not like the water, sometimes its that they was spooked while being caught, but i am going to say in this case it is the water they do not like because they are all in the same panic. not all of these shrimp would of lived out the night. fact. not cute
@@UKSkateboarding oh. Thanks for the information. I've watched a bunch of shrimp stuff and love how they move around on the bottom as well. I just figured these were more active, but it definitely makes since that they would be stressed out after being moved. Thanks against!
You're opening, Rock picking and message to your mom 😂🤣 She has to be wonderful to have raised such a thoughtful person as yourself 🙏🥰
I've been wondering why I'm not getting any Stratum...That's why it's not working... I don't have a queen size bed 🤣😂
Nice little lowboy tank 🙌 I can already tell this is going to turn out amazing!
Watching you pet The rock gives a new meaning to the "pet rock" maybe that's why "pet rocks" didn't last through the years and seemed to disappear 🤔 maybe they were supposed to be kept in an aquarium 😄 " Rock for Thought" end pet rock abuse 🙏😂
It drives me crazy waiting for a tank to balance out but they will 🙏♥️ I feel the same way about shrimp I just love them and enjoy watching them.. my favorites were some culls that came from LRB♥️
Nice tutorial on a beautiful and easy shrimp set up that anyone could do and enjoy!!
Thank you for the video Chris I hope you have a blessed day! 🙏🦐♥️🌿💚
rocks need love and pets too hehehe
My mom still has not noticed I think :)
Cheers Mary!
@@FishForThought 😂😁🥰
@@FishForThought A good way to test whether she watches your videos! 😉
These tank set up vid so are always awesome. Perhaps some day we could see a discus tank set up 🤔
I frking love snails know they will only have an explosion of snails if you feed them to much
Yeah :( I always feed too much and they explode LMAO
The slaps to the rock though! 👌🏼 Gotta make sure it’s ripe & ready.
Not long since I brought myself some cherry shrimp, I can literally watch them for hours. Looking forward for them to start breeding! 🦐
Yeah same, they're just so interesting... When they breed it's the best feeling ever xD
@@FishForThought I agree! My platys have been having loads of babies and I love rooting for the little ones I see 😂
This isn't a hate comment but I'd add a small sponge filter. that's not a lot of Plants and yes Shrimp have low bioload but sponge filters are very benificial for shrimp which you should already know.
My shrimp looove hanging out on the sponge filters and picking off bits of food!
@@drewzero1 Exactly. Food goes up to the Sponge filter and stores benificial bacteria. I don't see a reason why not to get one because they're cheap to get and run.
Your voice is so soothing. Makes me relaxed immediately 😀
Nice to see you guys adding to the cast of hosts for FTR! Not to mention its one of the cohosts doing this!
WHY HAVE U DONE DIS
chirs, shirmp, repøshy, and dirb really making my day better
Ahh man. I'm doing chemical engineering at uni and for a round of exams to procrastinate I made a very heavily planted shrimp tank. And it's just steadily growing. It's a 20L nano tank. And it started off as basic. Buuuut as time progresses you get more and more stuff. Now I have a CO2 system and last night (while trying to rationalize my choices) was doing differential equations to find when is the ideal time for water changes. It's a great hobby and watching the shrimp is so calming and meditative.
cherry shrimp are beautiful but amanos are my favorite shrimp
Perfect! i have a snake and geko but didnt know what to put on my desk thanks allot this week im doing big planted shrimp tank best idea from best youtuber
3mins the earliest ive been in you videos i was having a bad day and this video made it better!
I remembered using hollow blocks on my first setup because I didn't know where to buy rocks. I still have one of them right now as it gained a bit of sentimental value.
Shrimps are my favorite aquarium creature, even though their prices are insane, around here at least
If you're in the US there's a place called Aquabytes that sells culls for a buck each. Im setting up a tank for some and im excited. Had fish forever but never shrimp.
Those are beautiful culls. I gave my first generation of cherry shrimp babies to the pet store because they were all almost completely clear. Serves me right for not being patient looking for a red male instead of just buying whatever Petco had
This guy guy is funny, educational, and entertaining. You got my like, comment, and sub👍🏾 keep up the great work.
I love shrimps they are easy to keep
YES!!! I found your channel yesterday because I was looking for shrimp setups. How perfect is this?
Cute little shrimps... :D I hope to one day make an aquascape and take care of some shrimp in my home
Cris thanks to you I got free naride snail and some frogbit,THANKS!!!. He said I was really educated on fish keeping my school still hasent teaced about the nitigon saycal!!
Honestly I love this scape, it's really small but also looks good... I'm getting a new 5 gallon so I'll be getting a few shrimps.... I wanna get a betta too but already have one in my 20 gallon community planted tank
awesome! I hope you get to both those projects in the future :)
You can never have too many bettas they are so personable and cute
@@apss5736 yep but I've never kept shrimps too... So... Thanks
@@FishForThought thanks man
@@DanRemdor shrimp are super cool
How they dont want to Hop in the Aquarium, the Beat scene 😂
I have just discovered this channel. Cool stuff happens here :D
thank you!
Finally some shrimp content! Got my very first tank with some blue dreams half a year ago :3
Fish For Thought: I don't care these shrimps are low grade.
Shrimps: How dare you?! We're not going in.
😂😂
I hope that we could get some updates about this shrimp tank! thank you for this, Chris!
after 3 years i am switching from a guppy tank to a only shrimp one. i am so excited bc all my other shrimp in my other aquaria are thriving
Currently in the process of making my first shrimp tank and this video really could not have come out at a better time. Eagerly awaiting tank updates Chris!
*Thank you....THIS IS A SIGN FROM THE GODS!!!!!I NEED TO GIVE BIRTH TO SHRIMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
No I think you don’t need to do that 😬
Thank you for reminding me and not a footnote fugal Street items were only grow under queen size beds, I understand which meant
Great video! I wanna make my own fish and shrimp tank and relax in my room with Stardew valley music while reading or exercising ❤️
YO chirs! Respect on the shrimp game! I too like the "underdogs"
wow, the tank looks gorgeous
I am very interested in shrimp. Thank you for good video.
Oh YES 👏THANK 👏YOU 👏That's exactly what i needed! Luv💌
biofilm, diatoms, and brown algae are super healthy shrimp food though, why get rid of it when you could have put the shrimp in then?
usually there's still a lot of those even if you don't see it much in the tank. Once you do see it, it's just way too much and makes things look less aesthetic imo. I'll likely never get rid of all the diatoms, and there's no way to ever rid a tank of algae or biofilm. Clearing it from the glass and places you can see doesn't mean removing all, not even close! xD
Only Chris is capable of making a small tank with plain stones attractive 💪💪
Very cool set up. Shrimp always intrigue me.
I was literally searching for shrimp tank info for my first time today and this video is 13 hours old lmao
The moto should be "don't be afraid to get your sleeves wet" Lol
so cute! I added too many plants to my first tank and now most of them have melted :< so much money wasted
I guess it's best to add them after the tank stabilizes
Finally some shriiiiiimps! Love it. I’m currently establishing my first ever tank and it’s gonna be brackish for Opae Ula.
lovely project, I am looking forward to my soon 2 vase cca 1.5 gallong wallstad tanks :) with some blue shrimp, :)
Awesome! I actually made a shrimp tank today but it feels off. gonna redo it thanks!
Shrimp tank without moss??
I bought 10 shrimp like a year ago. I now have hundreds in my 10 gallon lol. I recently added two danios to keep the population down a bit lol
Well now i know how in spending today
Messing up all my tanks!
You should try those fast food places to get your rocks. I got a nice big rock from McDonalds. These McDo are switching from grass into a river rock set up.
Great video man👍 gotta love the Stardew valley music in the background haha
Simplicity is golden
Video contains Stardew Valley music, instant thumbs up
Planning to start a shrimp tank again soon and I love this simple set up 🥺
I could be wrong, but I think you may need to use the HOB, a sponge filter or if not, get a ton more plants. As is, they are not going to get enough oxygen and the substrate will produce too much ammonia.
dude thanks, I was looking for some plants and amazon wants to sell them for a pound and a crown and there are some really cheap filters too
I once tried growing Fluval Stratum under a twin size bed and it turned out pink and glittery.
Makes me feel better I'm not the only one that experienced S. Repens melting... ,>.>,
I don’t think you gave your Repens enough light, in my experience I’ve never been able to grow it in low light, but as soon as I moved it to a tank with higher lighting it took off and looked really good.
Yea my repens all lost their leaves and died and it was probably because of lower light or not enough nutrients
You are no nincompoop, def getcho own place! But you Rock brother!!!
I loved this episode! And what a coincidence... I am setting up a little nano shrimp tank in my guest bedroom!
This is a very peaceful video and setup 😌
great video. i'm thinking about making a shrimp tank!
the sarcasm is on point 🦘🦘🦘
I have some mystery stems in one of my tanks and it kinda looks like the S repins you put in there. Might be that lol
i love shrimp so much
Btw i love how it looks like the shrimps are jumping around. Love you're video's Chris 💙
Me too, thanks!
Love it when you use Stardew music in the background
Every fish tank review i always see that tank behind you that you never did a video about well..... it happened😂😂🤣😅
YOO those shrimp were energetic.. mines just lay there lol
Love ur vids
i have a heavily plated 5.5 gallon that has a betta a few snails and 1 ghost shrimp but if my betta passed away for some reason or I moved her into a different tank I would start off by throwing some amanos or cherry shrimp and maybe some crystal reds
i feel like some neon tetras would look great in that
It is currently 10:21pm in the Philippines and I am still watching ur vids
@@FishForThought welcome
Hey chris super cool tank
Music on point.
I had the same thing happen to my S.repens and I have no idea why. I assumed my water was too hard or something along those lines. My crypts on the other hand are loving life
this is so therapeutic
glad you enjoy!
I was waiting for this
Plants look so much juicier when out of water
The stardew music is soo relaxing.
Love the videos always I’m excited for my shrimp to have babies soon 😇 I’ll try to upload it
Very cool and helpful chris man
Good idea to have something under the rocks but I would think cardboard would eventually rot… and the process of making cardboard requires some un-named chemicals? Just my thought! Shrimp On Chris!
Thought the same thing, about the rotting. Id go for something "un-rottable" instead, like styrofoam
this is true, and I am sad :,)
@@FishForThought noooo chris dont cry! You are still out favourite co-host!
@@FishForThought Lucky for you, you can change it! Just means making a big ol’ mess of things😅….. commence swearing… now 🤣
You remind me of the channel called you suck at cooking you literally radiate the same energy anyways I love your videos they’re hilarious I like the fish tank review series though actually I like your channel as a whole
