      You crazy shrimp people. I resisted for a long time but last week I gave up. There were two lonely fired reds in my LFS in the tank where he usually puts the Endlers that I frequently sell him. I purchased them .... A male and a female fully bellied / berried. :))

    I recently saw a video on another big channel and they were mistreating a Oscar and I made a comment about how the well being of the fish DOES MATTER, I was immediately attacked ... people said it's just a fish blah blah blah..... I find your compassion for cranky pants very cool! He's lucky to have you and I hope alot of people can follow you by example, because there are alot of "outdoor" UA-cam channels with Aquarium videos just outright abusing fish and setting terrible examples for kids and many others...I'm sorry about my rant but I really enjoy your channel and I feel you are a wonderful example of responsible fishkeeper!!

    I have a wild betta that I won on a FB fish group given away...much to my shock! He is definitely more cautious than my Dumbo female (who is in a different tank) Took him forever to come to the front at feeding time. And as long as I move slowly and don't bang the top, I can watch him eat.

At first he wasn't eating, didn't matter what. I stuck a couple in there out of desperation, he was c going on 2 weeks of not eating.

    Just a heads up on those shrimp, they are Taiwan Bee's and as such, they need softer and more acidic water than Tigers or Neo's. pH 5.8-6.7, gH 3-6, kH 0-1. I'm sure you already knew this though. Have fun with them!

    I just sat down to watch your video, after completely breaking down 3-55gallon heavily planted tanks do to that blue green alge slime stuff. 90% water changes, pond snails and Siamese algae eaters wouldn't phase that junk. Just like yours mine started in the corner of the substrate. I don't know what caused the problem. Hot or cold spots in the tanks, plant fertilizer tabs, trapped gasses or having 3"-4" substrate. I noticed it before I left town to go help my brother move, when I came back I thought I was going to have to call a hazmat crew in on this stuff. Went toe too toe with this stuff for over a week, before doing the breakdown. Threw way 1/3 of my plants, all new substrate, please make the video soon on how you combat that crap. If I ever get that again I'm going to call in a trackhoe, scoop out the eels and burry the tank. Time for a double shot of Jameson.

    You’ve often said to avoid imported shrimp; but most sellers at best quarantine their imported shrimp for 60 days or sell the “F1s” of these imports as USA bred. At what point do you consider shrimp as USA bred and what is the background on your newly acquired shrimp?

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  6 років тому +1

      I consider the offspring of the offspring (so f2) to be solidly American bred. The pintos were from a friend who bred them and got the parents from another friend who bred them. I know both breeders. The tangerines are from my line, which originated from a guy I know well also

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  6 років тому

      Depends on the species, for some of the shrimp I use softening substrates (Tropica usually). My water is neutral, so I don't NEED to use RO, but if you have a lot of buffering capacity in your water, you would likely need to use RO.
