This guy made a whole ass video of mixing shrimp colors and breeding them. Halfway through “yeah let me know if this works I’m actually color blind” I love this channel
So unfortunately shrimp genetics arnt as easy as putting a blue and a red together to get a purple. So Neocaridina shrimp can be broken into 4ish families. The snowballs are a family. The yellows, oranges and greens are a family. The reds, blue jelly’s and the blacks are a family. Then the last are Bloody Marys, blue dreams, blue velvet, chocolates and black roses. Now yellows can make green babies but blue dreams can’t. So those greens your seeing are from 2 yellows and not a yellow and a blue. When you cross shrimp that arnt in the same family you get clear wild type babies. But if you breed a Bloody Mary and a blue dream you will get blue and red babies but never both in one shrimp. Purple is the rarest color for freshwater shrimp. They pop up at random from blue velvet breeding groups. Hope this helps! :)
Also to anyone who is thinking I’m cappin when you looked at the green ones. Did you see any blue and green ones? Nope there is just yellow and green ones.
@@nickvisser479 well that depends. There are 2 or 3 different lines of “reds” if you have Bloody Mary reds then you should get red and blue shrimp. If you have like fire reds then you will probably just get clear shrimp if the blue and reds breed together.
I believe he got the yellow shrimp from his yellow cherry colony and there's not a single green shrimp there. So surely, the blue would've had some factor to create the green/yellow shrimp outcome.
@@jueadeo8843 well then why isn’t there any blue shrimp with green patches? Why is it only yellow shrimp with green patches? Yellows and greens come from the same family. Greens are created from yellows without blue shrimp being involved what so ever. A quick google search will tell you that crossing colors will pretty much lead to wild type colored shrimp. Aka clear.
It's really cool seeing those almost emerald green shrimp. You never normally get crazy colours like that in the hobby. But shrimp just know how to make it work 🤣
Those results are so cool!! In the yellow/blue group, there were almost every variation in between - emerald, aquamarine, neon green, etc. How neat! Thank you for sharing with us ❤️
4:00 We got you those are most definitely green, a nice bright green at that keep up the amazing work. 👌🏾 Can't wait until you produce those purple shrimp next
@@Dropshot.TV.this isn't about luck. Just look up the charts showing which colors can give which colors. Emerald greens don't come from blues in any way. In this video they came from the yellow ones. Once you get enough of them, you can separate them and breed only them, which in time will give you mostly green babies. For instance breeders of yellows (and other examples) know that they have to cull about 10-20% of shrimp anyways, cause they will be green. Same goes for other colors. It's called "breeding true" (or not, in which case they would give a high percentage of culls
At the end of the video, 4:50, there is a baby that looks more like a neon greenish or even maybe an "aqua" blue/green, to me. It's not green but definitely a different shade of green than the others. Again at 5:01 there is a good comparison to a larger yellow/green shrimp front left of tank
watching this i want to cry, knowing what is involved with getting colours to their high quality and personally knowing that from cull tanks when they are mixed they tend to throw more wild colour (brownish/clear)
Marble Queen pothos is a slightly slower grower than other pothos bcoz it's not producing as much green leaf to photosynthesise with. Also once it's root system establishes it'll start to push out leaves consistently. Love the bin idea as well mate, it came in handy when my son brought goldfish home and they needed a temporary pond
I'm also colorblind and I have an awful time even being able to see shrimp in my tanks against the substrate and the green plants. I finally found some rad orange shrimp and they're so much fun!
Have to point this out to you you said that brown mixed one it wasn’t brown it was a really nice colour the top was a green and almost camo pattern down to a yellow colour I’ve never seen that mutation in neo shrimp before nice
I'm also waiting the betta update. Behind him you can see the crowntail bettas with the lavender colour but it looks like there's not as many of them left.
Can you give more information on using the tubs. What do you feed them or are they eating the moss. Do you clean their poops from the bottom of the tub so no ammonia. Please share you wisdom
Super cool! I saw a video of someone that had done something similar outside and the shrimps did amazing. Since then wanted to always give it a shot one day! Got some shrimp on my channel, they're super interesting to watch.
Normally it doesn't work like that when you mix different colors of neos you going to get a brown wild type of shrimp. That green shrimps looks big and very mature there is no way they grow so big in 3 month. The shrimp only caring eggs for 30 days. Some blue shrimps has green tint in them and I think because they've been in the dark for so long they become pale and started to look more green
I'm guessing you live somewhere warm. I may try this because I think I'm doing way too much. Not sure this will work with North Eastern weather but I'm enjoying your videos
Very cool stuff, I have been buying skittles mixes and throwing them into my blue dream cull tank to see what comes out. Its exciting stuff you get all kinds of wild variations.
Im already trying this. I hope mine come out like yours. The only difference in mine is I'm using Neon Yellow Golden Backs and I mixed them with VERY dark Blue Dreams. Wish me luck🤞💙💛💚
Would love to see an in-depth tutorial on successfully breeding single color shrimp in tubs. I did see that another UA-camr did a similar experiment (what do you get when you mix colors) and he found that after a few generations, they reverted to "clear" looking blah shrimp. I mean, I wouldn't mind having shrimp that blend in like they did, but breed easier than Amanos. Maybe fish wouldn't spot them and prey on them as easily? Idk Not an experiment I'd want to lose money on 😅
Putting blue and yellow together should not have created green shrimp because genetics don't work like that. So I'm completely blown away by the fact that that's exactly what happened.

That intresting so if I put blues with my reds would they mix or would they just have blue dreams and cherry?

There is a flow chart you can look up on how to get which colors. Almost all of them are from "stuff like this" XD
@@PsychCow I figured that would be the case hahaha 🤣
It's as shrimple as that
How do i get green shrimp? Is there any way?
Those results are so cool!! In the yellow/blue group, there were almost every variation in between - emerald, aquamarine, neon green, etc. How neat! Thank you for sharing with us ❤️
The irony of him being color blind while conducting this experiment🤣
Priceless! 👌

The emerald greens look amazing! Loving this series as I am doing something similar currently
Any luck ?

Omg that baby looks sick at 4:50
I want to try this in a low maintenance tub doesn’t have to be lots of money which I like just throw in some Java moss and boom
“Bare with me I’m colour blind” “here we have a brown shrimp” but it’s green. Haha love it, good work man 👌
Legend ! 😎

You should get a pair of glasses that let you see colors
I'm also colorblind and I have an awful time even being able to see shrimp in my tanks against the substrate and the green plants. I finally found some rad orange shrimp and they're so much fun!
My favorites are still the blue. Love blue. The color you were asking was green and some had gold/green.
That's really cool, I didn't think they'd turn such a pretty color and have some cool colors! Hopefully the red and blue get going soon!
I also breed shrimps in plastic bins. Just add some lava rocks and driftwood with moss attaches. They will breed like crazyyy 😂
I love this!!! Our local fish stores have red ones sometimes but typically just the clear ghost shrimps. I want blue and green ones!
Saw your video in the morning. Back again . Great work!!
i love when you point to a super colorful one and call it brown its cute lol
Bless! ✌️
The green is soooo green!! Greetings from California 😁
LOOKING GOOD :)
LOVING THE GREEN AND THE YELLOW-GREEN :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Yo, you need to have those color blind glasse
You should invest in color blind glasses so you can see the true beauty of your shrimps
Hi. thaNK you for sharing. I had no idea Pothos were good in an aquatic setup
So cool! I’ve never seen colored shrimp like this before. They remind me of pretty patties 😄✨
This video made my morning with out even knowing the outcome. I will watch it in a few moments Thank you for following up 😂❤️👍
whole video is about mixing colorful shrimp, bombshell at 4:20 I FORGOT TO TELL YOU I'M COLOUR BLIND. lol
Have to point this out to you you said that brown mixed one it wasn’t brown it was a really nice colour the top was a green and almost camo pattern down to a yellow colour I’ve never seen that mutation in neo shrimp before nice
Nice! Here is the video I've been waiting on.
Pretty cool! Also need that baby bettas update. How are those going? The colours must have come through more.
I'm also waiting the betta update. Behind him you can see the crowntail bettas with the lavender colour but it looks like there's not as many of them left.
I am colourblind as well
Can you give more information on using the tubs. What do you feed them or are they eating the moss. Do you clean their poops from the bottom of the tub so no ammonia. Please share you wisdom
Super cool! I saw a video of someone that had done something similar outside and the shrimps did amazing. Since then wanted to always give it a shot one day! Got some shrimp on my channel, they're super interesting to watch.
Every now and then UA-cam recommends me some golden videos and this is one don’t know why I’m so interested but I am
Was really hoping for more updates on this experiment
Greeeeeeen
Sneaky ;)
@@dinimit4 I breed a lot of shrimp 😂😂
But with filters and do water changes 🐄🐄
Ain't he just the cutest!😜😍
the bins are great. i would go with white or grey to see them tho.
You might want to consider getting a pair of EnChroma glasses so you can enjoy the colors you are breeding.
Yes they are green with some yellow patches. Kinda jade colour
I have red and blue shrimps in my tank and they had blue, red, clear and mainly brown with some a golden brownish colour. Very cool.
interested to see how this is going after a year
Ad marimo moss in the bucket! Need few light, are perfect for the shrimps and clean well the water!
Do you feed them while they're in the tubs? I am looking to do this in my summer tubs. Thanks

How cute! You got green shrimp!
the green shrimp looks like they are yelllow in the inside but has a blue shell. this gives them an overall green color. its really cool!
I have a yellow shrimp who is berried. I have other colors too, so it will be interesting to see what color her babies are.
ooooo, I need to get some yellows, I have really dark blues. Thanks for the research and the video. Be well
Very cool, love the blue yellow mixing of these shrimp.
I’ve been waiting for thissss 🤩
I don't have any fishes or shrimp...but i just love your videos man❤️...keep up the work❤️✨
That's pretty cool the yellow and blue breeded and made green ones that's the colour when you mix blue and yellow together
4:10 holy heck, I wasn't expecting you to drop Naz¡ terminology in this video lmao
Now I want to get some yelliws to mix with some of my blues. Local fish stores by me would buy all my lemon limes😂
I'm guessing you live somewhere warm. I may try this because I think I'm doing way too much. Not sure this will work with North Eastern weather but I'm enjoying your videos
Wow, lime green & lemon lime shrimp. Very cool!
You've created a whole new species 😂❤🎉
Just wondering if you still have these bins and how successful breeding has been. Lots of babies?
Very cool stuff, I have been buying skittles mixes and throwing them into my blue dream cull tank to see what comes out. Its exciting stuff you get all kinds of wild variations.
Amazing results for the yellow and blue tank. :) Love the bright color green
I’m in love with the emerald shrimp!
That's crazy 😍 definitely lime green shrimp
Look like the green and blue were breeding as well and got turquoise baby👍👍
I would like to know what's the ideal temprature for the shrimp. In the room I would like them it vary (winter/summer) 15° to 35°C
perfect timing, i just finished your first video on this
nice vid. any updates on borneo suckers? having such a hard time myself
bright neon green shrimp id love some
Yeah those green shrimp look awesome 👌
Brilliant. What did you feed them?
Dude your an awesome human being
Do you dechlorinate your water or filter it before using on the shrimps or fish?
I like these simple experimental videos too that you drop back to every few weeks 👌
That's so cool a shrimp with green an yellow head..
Instantly name "Ozzy spirt"..
Im already trying this. I hope mine come out like yours. The only difference in mine is I'm using Neon Yellow Golden Backs and I mixed them with VERY dark Blue Dreams. Wish me luck🤞💙💛💚
The results are pretty cool can't wait to see the cherrys and blue dreams to mix to see if it's worth getting myself some blues for my colony
if they mix the babies are probably going to be white, not purple
@@isabelestevez7612 yip unfortunately someone told me they would make wild types so guess I'm gonna have to stick to my cherry colony for now
omg the shrimp are actually green nice i gotta try that one day!
Love those green shrimp 🦐
Those green shrimp look so cool
Are the tubs food safe? BPA
this was awesome!
it would also def be cool if we got a betta update, it has been two months
The green shrimp look amazing!
What colors are you talking about? They’re all clear
Would love to see an in-depth tutorial on successfully breeding single color shrimp in tubs.
I did see that another UA-camr did a similar experiment (what do you get when you mix colors) and he found that after a few generations, they reverted to "clear" looking blah shrimp.

Hi do you have any mosquitoes larvae in the tub?
those green shrimp look really cool
Yes, you definitely have some bright green shrimp and some with both yellow and green.
Love your green ones
How is this project going? I'm curious
Putting blue and yellow together should not have created green shrimp because genetics don't work like that. So I'm completely blown away by the fact that that's exactly what happened.
I asked on earlier video but how best to breed shrimp?
Awesome project, can't wait to see what other colors pop up
Give your Cherry and Blue Dreams more time! I have some very nice mixes going on I've been breeding out. Looks like Spiderman :)
Do you think this would work on crs?
The yellow green mix is pretty cool 🤙
I love the mixes! Thanks for the update! So awesome!
is your shop open yet if not when is it going to be i would love to come have a look?
Thanks!
Hahaha sorry we all yelled about the bin project on your last update.
Tytyty for the upload
