Im excited to see more ghost shrimp videos, as a kid my family vacationed at cape cod Massachusetts and we would go to the bay, walk during low tide on sand bars, and enjoy the tide slowly coming in. Well once the water was 2 feet or more we would sit on the shore in the water and feel the shrimp pelting our legs as the waves came in. Its funny cuz you feel a rapid tap tap tap tap tap and you wont see them. All you see is their shadows as they come "flying" outta no where. I went again last year for the first time in 10 years and came across a ton of babies in shells id pluck from the sand. I was so happy to see their numbers on the rise! Thank you for reminding me of that :)
FYI some ghost hsrimps can change color of their carapcedepending on the susbtrate colors and food they get fed. I have seen clear ghost shrimp take on tan and rusty colors helping them blend into leaf litter and hide in plain sight from a figure eight puffer. sometomes they turn greenish too.
Yes these are common in reverse I grew up and we’ve seen them in all shades. Bronze, brown and even darker, really depends on the rocks as far as I see
Good idea. Only problem is that while ghost shrimp will gladly live in freshwater, they need brackish water to actually hatch their eggs and raise the shrimplets. I’ve had many ghost shrimp with eggs but none ever hatch in freshwater.
It depends on the species, some are brackish, some are completely freshwater, all are labeled as ghost shrimp. I've had them reproduce in multiple freshwater tanks.
Whatever species I've raised in the past occasionally had offspring, but they were in very small numbers. For example I might've started with 6 ghost shrimp and then eventually ended up with 8 total. I saw eggs on the females but I'm thinking most of either didn't hatch or most of the baby shrimp were eaten. Brackish would've probably yielded better results.
@@bowfin3078 maybe some are misidentified as ghost shrimp ? Mine are wild caught and they looks really similar to ghost shrimp.Where do you get them from ?
@@keyboardwarrior1946 Some from Petsmart and some from another pet shop. Thinking about it I'm wondering if the cherry shrimp I had at the time could've been eating the baby ghost shrimp. I assumed fish weren't a problem since the cherries multiplied like crazy for awhile. Hadn't considered the cherry shrimp might've been a problem.
Most ghost shrimp that you buy from box stores and local shops are actually brackish water shrimp. You will get some breeding but your yields won’t be very good. Just do a neocaridina set up and they will come in all kinds of bright colors. They can be expensive from stores but local breeders can offer great deals.
These lil shrimps are so cool. We bought 5 cherry shrimp and 5 ghost shrimp, 2 years later there is still 1 ghost left and hundreds of cherry! So cool to see them take over but not kill the fish
I am guessing you already know this but most species of ghost shrimp will only successfully reproduce and raise shrimplets in brackish water, that said I've had the same species reproduce in freshwater but just in much smaller numbers as in like 2 to 10 versus hundreds. Good luck this setup looks simple cheap and pretty despite it being a kiddie pool. Think I might try this for myself with other species of shrimp.
You've promoted your website so many times throughout this video, till the point where I dont even want to take a look at it or come back to this channel. Get better at advertising, repetition is NOT the essence of success.
Yet you still go to Walmart & any other huge company that will send you multiple emails/texts in a day. I’m 6 mins into the video & the OP literally advertised his business twice.. if you don’t have a business to advertise, you probably don’t know how often we as business owners have to advertise our business. You’re weird for attacking a UA-camr that is just trying to make a living for himself.
Repetition is the key to success you dmb mofo. How do you think they become successful by advertising one time and that’s it? Fkn kids who think they know. What a jack jaw.
I literally just picked up one of these kiddie pools from Target the other day to hopefully propagate some plants and keep a few small fish for eating mosquito larvae (Houston, TX area so lots of mosquitos).
i used to fish with these ghost shrimp when i was a kid at a nearby pond. Literally has 0 knowledge about these little guy back then some dude at the pond gave me like 10 of these guy since i was a newbie to fishing game. end up with 0 fish that day, and got home put the shrimp aside in a plastic bag with 0 water forgot it need some fckin water the next day it STANKKKK lmao what a memory
Awesome video Christopher. Ghost shrimp are native here in TX. Ours in the ponds we have are very hardy and multiply quick with fast moving planted water.
gost shrimp tend to he more carnivorous then other shrimp so make sure they are getting the protein they want any type of pellet or flake food should have enough
I don't understand the science here. How long can the shrimp survive in the baby pool? Specifically one solo shrimp. Also, does it need to be a ghost shrimp, or can you apply this to brine or even regular? Please answer I'm desparate.
LOL kudos for actually attempting to get GHOST shrimp on camera- at what point did you realize you didn't actually have to have any shrimp for this and people probably would have believed you XD
Actually, if I were you, I would go for a pond with no substrate as when it comes to breeding, in my opinion is that functionality outranks appearance. To make collecting and see the baby shrimp easier. I think it’s better off to add a layer of black pond lining and add a series of pvc tubes, elbows and Ts for them to hide and that’s it. The live plants are absolutely essential for them to breed and eat so I will still add those in there but not too many. I’m not trying to criticise anything I’m just giving a suggestion of what I will do. Don’t get me wrong the pond is beautiful
no, goldfish will eat the plants, especially floating plants. if your duckweed growth is strong enough, you can try having duckweed, but it will be eaten.

Thanks!

What was that website again haha
I thought that ghost shrimp needed brackish water to reproduce?

Neat video. The constant push for the advertising is super annoying.
Yeah... I just wanted to see the tank. =(
@@evoneli right!? Like you keep pushing your this and that and it's actually discouraging for whatever products they're trying to push.
I mean he had to make money some way
@@aperson336 I mean he's making money off the video. By constantly pushing a product you're actually discouraging customer's.
@@phoenixrising3219 fair but playing devils advocate UA-cam doesn’t pay well and advertising is his job

That must be a lot of chocolate chips

I bought them at Walmart. They had them on clearance for $1 so I bought 40, big plans for guppies this spring, so stay tuned!
@@christopher_scott woah! Nice!
3:08 chocolate chip cookie yum
Me @1:18 thinking about the possible 3 shrimp stuck in the bag still. 😐😂😂
Nice tank. Simple, looks good, great for shrimp. :)
3:04 big ol chocolate chip cookie!
Where can I find a plastic pool like that
I’ve tried to breed shrimp for a couple weeks now. But all the pet stores i go to don’t seem to have male ghost shrimp!! Where can i find some?
Just buy tons of them maybe? When u ask for the gender, they usually kinda sus and wont give u male n female maybe.
ghosts dont breed well in freshwater i suggest getting neocaridinas from lrb aquatics u can check on his youtube
i used to fish with these ghost shrimp when i was a kid at a nearby pond.

Okk I get it U have a shop
At 3 minutes it looks like you are making a giant chocolate chip cookie lol. Super cool vid.
3:08 it looks like a cookie
Okay I'm half way through and what's the number of shrimp you started with
300
Also how many shrimp did you add?
Can them ghost shrimp survive over winter if the water stays above 40?
3:06 forbidden cookie dough
How do you keep plants alive in an aquarium in tryd but they always die and are kindy pricey
the home owners assocation fears the backyard shrimp farmer
Why did my mouth start watering after reading this video Title???
Where did you buy these ghost shrimp?
Won’t they drown if u turn off the air?
3:05 looks like a giant chocolate chip cookie
did anyone count how many times he said fresh water scrub? i lost count
It was 7 or 8 i lost track
Clown Puke is the true MVP of this video
No PVC glue?
Tell me why the pool with just sand and the rocks looks like forbidden chocolate chip cookie dough 😂😂😂
this looked like the worlds largest chocolate chip cookie when you first mixed in the rocks
being a plumber and watching pvc be assembled with no glue stresses me out
Lol, I know, I know. But it’s not under pressure, and it makes it easy to break down and use it for other things.
oh yeah most definitely i understand i just get flashbacks to each unglued fitting ive ever seen on site lol
How do you keep black beard algae at bay?
3:05 i could just eat it, it literally is a chocolate chip cookie
What temperatures are you putting those ponds out? They seem like they would suffer from dramatic temperature changes since they are so shallow, no?
Yo, that bit about the sand bit is true. I get my hydroballs and soil from lowes or home depot because pet stores will charge way too much lol.
Awesome shrimp breeding 👍🏻
How does that filter work being on its side?
Yeah I was wonder how effective it'd be that way.
didn't have a clue about this till i saw this video, i hit the sub button👍
I went to try and buy some plants and is says it won't ship to me. I don't live in Texas either. Also the code shrimp didn't work either.
The code shrimp was only good until 01/18 . There is a new code in every video. Where do you live?
@@christopher_scott i live in Oregon
feels like these new videos have a smoother flow to them, I like it 🔥
What type of fish is 'clown puke'?
Mmm.... 3:03, looks like a chocolate chip cookie
Hi, can you still buy plants if your in the UK?
Thanks
Yes! Here in wales most garden centres have aquariums with live plants for sale also :)
substrate looks like a chocolate chip cookie
Hopefully the shrimps grow up to be like the shrimp on that cartoon movie lmao
can i be the first to say the first 2 layers of the sand and rock looks like a cookie/cokkie dough
how many times do i have to hear promotions of the website. chill dude i just wanna vibe with the video
*EPIK SHRIMP BREEDING SETUPS*
What kind of water did you use tho?
are you gonna scape finatic´s bedroom tank?
Your substrate looks like a chocolate chip cookie.
Great video as always!!! You should get some colorful shrimp to go in there as well. 😊
Check your dm’s on insta!
I’m sure I’m crazy but I feel like I just saw a pond like this heading out of galveston lol

LOL kudos for actually attempting to get GHOST shrimp on camera- at what point did you realize you didn't actually have to have any shrimp for this and people probably would have believed you XD
Ayo that some big cookie dough
and azot cycle ?
Video wss great! But, I feel like there was too many plugs for fresh water scrub, got annoying quick.
Cool. Maybe consider taking off the vignette on future videos. Felt like I had tunnel vision and was squinting.
Damn looks like a big cookie
