Few days after making the video, and realizing these solar air pumps ran all night long 24/7. I did more digging and there is a 2200mah battery built into solar panels. So solar panels charge battery and batteru powers pump. Here's the link since lots of you guys have been asking.

If I go bigger scale will definitely need some kind of screened enclosure or something a long those lines. Where I live it pretty much corn and bean fields as fas as the eye can see, so not a ton on intrusive nature around here. Worst thing that happens around here are the squirrels stealing some of my plants to eat lol.
Awesome job man, I’m really digging the pond style shrimp keeping. I’m thinking of possibly doing something like that myself, as long as I can get the wife’s approval. You know how that goes. Looking forward to videos like this in the future. Keep it up.
Well done Mark, Video tip. As you're filming and talkin about each tank a little tip is take three times as long filming as you do talkin meaning when you say something it takes a moment for us the viewer to absorb what you're saying and then the video needs to be slower than what you said so leave it in position and move the camera three times slower than you're talkin that gives the brain of a human time to absorb what you're saying and looking at little filmont it there
No chiller, they'll be warmer than they like, but hopefully the shade cloth helps enough. The highest temps I have ever seen in my ponds out side is mid 80s to upper 80s. They hopefully will be ok, why its kind of an experiement.
Lol, aint that the truth, and I live in small town rural american toen where you really dont worry about that kind of stuff around here that much, other than a few households lol.
I've had ponds outside for over 20 years now in Indiana and the nasty creepy crawlies have not been a problem. The only natural body of water is the little creek/ditch running through town. Whole area is basically industrial monoculture crop fields. Pretty restricted on wild life, especially aquatic wild life. My ponds have always been a beacon for all the local birds. Of course Ive never really did shrimp out side. I do have nets, but its the big nets, its the nets to deter the 4 legged and 2 legged varmints lol.
woah. i've been learning a lot from your channel. ive been keeping a fire red, blue dreams, orange pumpkin and yellow golden back shrimps. and if you can suggest on what to breed from those colors, that would be great. ive been rewatching your old vids from way back in case i can learn something from those. keep it up. goodluck . from Philippines here 😂
With neos generally you wanna keep the colors separate and work on making them higher grades by selective breeding. If you wanna mix, just do it for fun. You will have better luck mixing colors that are closely related. Of those that you have the ones that are closest related are red and orange, but I am guessing if you mixed those you would more than likely end up with mostly reds.
@@MarkShellyAquatics do i need to get another color of neos? to mix with my current neos? if yes. what do i get to get varieties for my colors. thanks btw for replying. 😂😅
Personally I wouldnt mix, but blue jellies would be fun to mix with your fire reds. I would do it in another tank though, so then you still have fire reds.
The other one came in since I finished video and they do much better not trying to do 2 airstones with 1 pump. I was out with wife last night, got home at 130am and both solar pumps were still running. Looks like the street lights and my solar lights make enough ambient light for them to run 24 hours a day.

Come to find out it does have a battery. 2200mah lithium ion battery. So sun charges battery and battery runs the pump, didn't even know it and I bought 2 of them lol.

@@MarkShellyAquatics makes sense. My winters get as low as 34ish for a week or two, otherwise its not bad. My summers get to 95-110. Wondering if theyll survive the heat

@CoralMan24 well lol, after looking more into this solar air pump lol, it actually does have a battery in it lol, no idea until after it ran all night for 2 nights in a row lol.

@@MarkShellyAquatics well not to be a tech nerd on ya but all solar powered items have a battery it is charged up from the excess energy it absorbs from the sun and it will use the battery until it runs out when the sun goes down so your still on solar lol
@CoralMan24 last time I was messing with stuff like this for outside they didn't have batteries lol. Only ran when the sun was out years ago lol. Lol at tech nerd, believe it or not I have a CINT degree, but I'm old now lol

lookig good... cant wait to see updates on the new outside setup!!!
Thank you 😁 👍
Wow those are some nice guppy tubs! I bet your gonna get tons of shrimplets😊and guppy’s!
They look a whole lot better now since the clean out!
iam getting to sing for my first home here soon I also live in Indiana first plan is to have a pond like this in my back yard thanks for all the tips
I did goldfish year round for years, guppies during summer many times, first real attempt with shrimp outside.
Pond is such a crazt concept. In my area we have black bears and lots of raccoons, so might not be doable. Grear video as usual. Love it

Pretty cool idea what kind of chiller will you use for the summer months?

You know the world is going to ship when someone steals your fish!
Lol, aint that the truth, and I live in small town rural american toen where you really dont worry about that kind of stuff around here that much, other than a few households lol.
Any plans to put netting on the tops? Dragonfly and damselfly larvae may be a big issue.

What temperature will shrimp endure? Also what kinds of fish can I breed in the tubs with the shrimp?
Ideally shrimp temps around 68 to 80, but they can live in anything above freezing to a lot wamer than 80.

thanks for the help. but i think blue jellies are not sold here in the Philippines, or if they are, they are not that popular.
Wow! What pump and solar are you using?

Mark, not to be off topic, but when are you going to have your skittles up for sale again? Or did I miss it again?
They sold out this week in 3 hours. I restock the website every Friday afternoon.
Can you provide a link to that solar air pump?
