Very nice. Have a whole bunch of baby shrimp right now 😊 always worried I’m gonna accidentally suck them up when I do water changes. Thanks for the tip.
Sweet video man! Interesting how you added all those minerals into the water, I tend to just do nothing lol. But good information, I might need to step up my water change game lol
@THE Bob Moss - Cherry, cherry, quite contrary! I started fishkeeping in 1988. Not a shrimp in sight- except for the restaurant! I never changed water back then- unless it was necessary (weekly water tests.) My substrate was the bagged aquarium gravel from my LFS's. When I started my first neo caradina tank in 2020, I used the same method-adding drip acclimation by Mark and then you!
How do I lower my tds if I have to match it with a water change? I bout RO water and the tds is 40 in it! I usually use tap water and just ass my saltyshrimp. But I'm not sure what to do. Also do I need to add anything for KH? Or just the saltyshrimp?
Should I match TDS in the tank when adding new water? My TDS is at 268 right now so I'm worried it will get too high! Or should I do a minimum TDS of 130? Im not sure if i match it exactly or not? I want to.switch to RO water but have no clue what im doing.
dont you vacuum your substrate at all? what about all the gunk aka food/poop that gets left behind on or in the substrate? also along with the water change, do you clean your filter each time as well?
I only vacuum if the snail poop is incredibly out of hand, probably two or three times a year now. I just leave it or try to sweep it into my sponge. I clean the filter maybe once a month, just squeeze it out and put it back in.
DRIP!!! oh god you're right I should've used the dripper! last time I water change I doused in the new water with dippers and resulting in a few shrimps dead DX thank you very much the key is slow and steady
Cherry cherry something something, great advice. I’ve never checked my gh/kh. I try to keep my tds at 200. Is gh/kh. something I should check monthly? I do water change one a month 30 percent. Shrimp seem ok, molt just fine.,
If you are using tap water, kh/GH readings are more important than TDS. The tap water can contain flourise, chlorine etc. That all effects the TDS but the kh/GH readings will tell you exactly what's in your water.
Thank you!!! I got into the shrimp hobby a couple years ago because I started getting into aquatic plants. Now, 6/8 of my tanks have neos in them, and I never change my water on any of them. All the tanks with neos are planted, dirted tanks. I top off, fertilize, and use root tabs on a regular basis, but my oldest tank is about 18 months old without any water changes, and has a healthy colony of blue shrimp, ramshorns, guppies, and mystery snails. - not advocating 0 water changes. I have super hard tap water, so it replenishes my TDS, your mileage may vary. Cherry Cherry something something already forgot. Lol mb.
Soo maybe silly question do you clean substrate from poop??? My tanks are heVily planted and dont do changes but top offs but i feel like i should do substrate cleans with gravel vac😅
@@myhobbiesgalore only if it's really, really bad. otherwise i tend to just sweep it towards the sponge filter and then squeeze that out once a month or so
What size/type of hose are you using to drain, and how did you get the suction started? Also, when you use the airline tubing to drip acclimate, is it gravity fed, or do you use some type of pump?
I accidentally left a giant tape worm in my shrimp tank and now I can find it how do I rid the fish of tape worms without hurting my shrimps. Please help
@@BobMossNanoTanks speaking of I think every one of the rilis I put in today are buried. Lol not a huge issue except I don’t know if I have any chads in there. 🤞 some of these hatch and I get some boys.
Love this! I just started keeping neos about a week ago, they’re doing great. This video has been super informative. However, my tank has biofilm growing, but I don’t see any green algae growing on the walls despite keeping the lights on for about 7-8hours a day. Bought Bacter Ae hoping to increase the growth of algae:/ I have also been noticing worms in my tank, did a ton of research, they’re not planaria, just some detritus worms. They’re so unsightly to see and I’ve tried to vacuum the substrate with a turkey baster, but I still see them on my aquarium walls daily. Couldn’t be a lack of oxygen as I do have a sponge filter and a air stone at the corner plus my neos seem to be doing fine with no deaths yet in a week. How do I control their population or get them back into the gravel? I feed my neos algae wafers daily because of the lack of algae growing on the walls, but I remove any uneaten food after 3hours. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks man
Ok so the detritus worms are most likely caused by the slight over feeding. I would go down to feeding every other day at most to limit the worms. As for the biofilm / algae, don't worry so much! They actually don't really eat algae so not having it isn't a problem. Biofilm is that slime that covers all the surfaces of things in the aquarium, you don't really see it but it is there. If you REALLY want algae, do 12+ hours of light and use some liquid fertilizer.
For top ups? You want to use pure RO/Distilled water or you will slowly raise your TDS. You can still do water changes with berried shrimp, if you're worried just do them a little smaller and add the water back in slowly.
Not always, if your new water matches the tank parameters I've seen people add the water in quickly with no issue. I use tap water, though, so better safe than sorry
The only downside is when you have loads of tanks. I do the drip method myself and I have to do water changes 3x a week a different tank each time because mine are only 10 litre tanks and I take 1 liter out and putting 1 liter back in takes about 2 to 3 hours 😂
What do you do about too many shrimp? I have a Neocaridina planted tank that is doing very well but there are probably 100 of them in a Fluval Flex 9 and they don't seem to be slowing down. Will the population eventually plateau? Opinions seem to be mixed on the internet.
@@BobMossNanoTanks Thanks, my two oldest females died recently and they were significantly larger than any of current females. I just wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere and I could find people to give them to.
@@mynamesjudgeI will take some off your hands if you are willing to mail. I will pay for shipping and some for your time. What kind do you have and what state do you live in ?
Cherry, cherry... How important is the usage of montmorillonite ? I am New to keeping shrimp. I use RO and the appropriate salt. Seams "fine" the short time I been doing it. Because on the salt it states: "Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 Contains all important minerals and trace elements the well-known shrimp species from this region needs for their health, wellbeing and coloration." So adding on top of that "montmorillonite" seams to be unnecessary and wasteful?
It is not necessary at all, to be honest. It's just a nice additive for them. It contains a TON of micronutrients that aid in molting and development of their exoskeleton. Also, are you keeping neos with the sulawesi minerals, or do you have sulawesi?
@@BobMossNanoTanks OK, then I will not obsesses about the extra minerals. I have Caridina dennerli white Socks. They are so beautiful. I have also neocaraduna sherry and when they are side by side then it is almost as the Neo is ugly in comparison.. but they are not it is only that the white Socks are outclass them without even trying..
Please help with my recent neo shrimp deaths. Hi all, I've had a noticeable increase in neocaridina shrimp deaths over the last 3 days, and my shrimp seem overall less active. In that time, I've seen 4 dead shrimp, which is waaayy more than usual. (Normally I only spot 1 dead every few months- I'm sure they gobble up the other natural deaths before I even see them.) What could be going on? I've had this planted shrimp tank established for 9 months, and I've never had problems before. There are no other inhabitants other than a few pest snails, and I've never seen planaria. I've gotten this tank balanced to the point where it is nearly an ecosystem tank where I only replace evaporated water with distilled water every few days. I feed only once or twice a week, but I fluff up the gravel substrate daily with a turkey baster so the shrimp can access their poop and other biofilm buried in the gravel. I've been very successful with this method maintaining a healthy population of roughly 50 shrimp in my 5 gallon. I've never seen any ammonia or nitrites in the tank. Nitrates I keep at 20ppm for the plants. My water quality (TDS, GH, KH, pH, chlorine) is consistent with how it has always been. The only thing I can think of that I did "differently" was put in a new oak leaf for them to munch on about a week ago. I always have an oak leaf in the tank, and I've used leaves from this batch before without issue. I removed the new leaf in case it was releasing something I can't identify on testing, and I did an emergency 50% water change yesterday. Normally I would never change this much water, but something was clearly wrong with my shrimp so I felt justified this time.
So, there are a number of things that might be effecting your shrimp but I will try my best. It is possible that you are getting a small TDS creep by not doing water changes, making the water harder and harder over time. This could prevent them from molting properly, causing deaths. Honestly, I would stop messing with the substrate so much. There is a chance you disturbed it a bit much, releasing some bad bacteria into the water column which could have caused deaths. 20ppm nitrates is the max you want for shrimps, you could trying lowering this a little, maybe to 10ppm and see if that helps. I never get a nitrate reading in any of my tanks because the plants uptake it so fast. If you are worried about a toxin from the leaf, you are going to want to add some activated carbon to remove that completely. If it were me, I would dose some Prime to neutralize any toxins, do a 30-50% water change like you did and continue observing. If more die, I would add the carbon near your sponge filter. Between those two steps, it should honestly solve most issues. Let me know if you need more tips!
First time setting up a 'trimp tank myself, and I've been surprised by how hardy they are. Went with cherry reds just because I have read they are the most beginner friendly. I wanted to setup a CO2 tank with EI fert dosing so I am doing 50% water changes weekly (with a slow refill via air pump tubing) since I setup the tank 4 months ago. But so far all my shrimp seem happy, no deaths, and the females are berried so I'm looking forward to the babies crawling about. Are the baby shrimp more sensitive to changes than the adults? Or since the babies are captive bred will they be good to go with the continuing 50%?
So it's kind of weird with baby shrimp. They are both sensitive and hardy, as weird as that sounds. I've seen them survive in cycling tanks with 5ppm ammonia, but if they don't have enough biofilm to graze on they die very quickly and you'll never notice. I would say you're probably fine to continue to do water changes the way you are. Consistency is key with shrimps.
You don't need to water change those tanks, it will be detrimental to them if anything. You have a nice deep substrate in them all with plenty of live plants, you don't even need a filter the only thing I would suggest is capping your substrate with a layer of sand and watch your tank thrive on just water top ups.
You new generations of fishkeeper sure make this hobby complicated before the fancy stuff on UA-cam people didn't know half the things they know now and the fish never died now we know everything and they died all the time😂
@@BobMossNanoTanksI have Neos and I am starting to do RO water and remineralize with GH / KH Plus, would you not recommend that? Sorry, I'm just trying to find the best way to do it
@@justinclement5417 Nope only time u want RO water and GH plus as KH is Zero u need that 0/1 . Don't add kh plus. U only do this for Caridinas Shrimp do bees etc not for Neo caridinas
I will refrain from commenting on the person and just say his method is not for everyone. Water changes stimulate the breeding in shrimp tanks and replenish minerals lost to your plants and their exoskeleton.
Oh dripping makes so much sense, that'll makes me feel a lot better about shocking them with any changes! Thanks for the tips!!!!

Content before begging. Disliked and not subbed.
You must not like very many videos because asking to like and sub is a very common practice, especially amongst smaller creators.
have you seen father fish’s channel on here? i think you might be interested in trying his method for setting up aquariums. he does 0 water changes!!
I will refrain from commenting on the person and just say his method is not for everyone. Water changes stimulate the breeding in shrimp tanks and replenish minerals lost to your plants and their exoskeleton.
I don't want shrimp anymore too complicated 🫣
