  • In this video I'll be making a killer shrimp aquarium, an aquarium for the invasive gammarid Dikerogammarus villosus. This video shows the creation of the aquarium and explains why the killer shrimp is so invasive.
    Enjoy!

      @@vasili1207 how on god's green earth do you somehow miss the irony of saying i'm assuming something (which is less of an assumption, if you've been around the channel for a while you would see he rarely if ever showed himself), when you are also assuming something about him? i was just complimenting his very apparent growth as a creator and his confidence, because he is a person behind the content, he's not a machine made for your liking. does it irritate you so much that someone else gets complimented you need to complain?

    The only time I ever got to visit the Netherlands was in 2010 and I got to visit Zandvoort and put my feet in the cold North Sea and find empty razor clam shells on the beach. I still have those shells, I brought them back to Canada with me! I love your videos....it reminds me of my visit in your beautiful country!

    I remember going on a fishing trip as a kid and we accidentally left our live bait bucket half way full with some lake water. Many many months later I grabbed for the same bait bucket and only about half an inch of water was left. Inside the water was a handful of massive adults of a same or similar species. They must have had an entire generation breed, grow, and eat each other for those last few to survive. Freaked me out as a kid to see that lol.

    I just wanted to let u know that because of your videos, i’ve been fish keeping since 2019. You inspired me to make ecospheres- then that led to getting a fish tank- and now i’m breeding fish and shrimp. You are genuinely inspirational.

  • @rushi5638
    @rushi5638 Рік тому +5

    I'm glad you said you thought they were kinda cute, because I was starting to feel like I was a little insane for feeling the same. Weirdly, the demon shrimp gave me stronger bug vibes. I mean I get they're all kinda just sea bugs, but like... the killer shrimp scuttling around was legitimately sorta adorable.

    • @rushi5638
      @rushi5638 Рік тому +2

      (In case it wasn't apparent, bugs are creepy and I don't like them. Demon shrimp retaining some of its terrestrial cousins' creepiness in a way I can't really put my finger on. Maybe it was just that you picked out cuter clips of the killer shrimp idk.)

Surprisingly, at that time in our lives, you were weeks seventeen. And who knew you would turn into this handsome young man you are today. I mean who knew. I look forward to your videos, and missed them. Well. Keepum coming! You are evolving, and so much for the better. Thank-you.

    I just found out that someone is using mantis shrimp to make a new camera. If you have heard of the mantis shrimp before, this might seem like a good idea as the mantis shrimp can see a wider range of colors than we can. And just to give perspective, we can see 3 base colors, red, blue and yellow, the mantis shrimp can see 12 base colors. Again, this all seems good and well, and even might get you too think something like ''it would be so amazing to see other colors'', until you stop for a second and realise that even if we make a camera that can see these 12 base colors, we can still only see 3
