Excellent info man. Its hard to find a back yard set up on youtube thats not over seas. I'll be studying your info and getting in touch next spring. I'm interested in a setup only for family food not to sell.
Thanks for the video! I'm curious about adding substrate to a setup like this. I can see where substrate is beneficial because it adds more surface area for beneficial bacteria, improving cycle stability and food availability. BUT it seems like the substrate would also make it harder to catch and see certain shrimp, and it could also trap food and make the tank more difficult to clean. It also adds an additional expense. Are there any pros/cons I'm missing here?
@@thegardenofeder Good point! I was under the impression a lighter background led to condensed pigmentation, but not less. If that were the case, then the pigment should spread out quickly when transfered from white to black but that doesn't seem to be the case. This study supports what you said in suggesting they actually accumulate and store more pigment on darker backgrounds. Interesting to see some sellers like flip aquatics use bare-bottom white tanks if that is the case. Thanks! notablesdelaciencia.conicet.gov.ar/bitstream/handle/11336/152747/CONICET_Digital_Nro.481e8e85-a985-4e39-a6b2-4b6dae5e975e_A.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y
Looking to have a set-up like yours with about 6 tanks. I am currently gathering my materials to start. I know I have to get the tanks and the filter. What are the other things I need? And any amazon or ebay links to get them? Also do you have an amazon or ebay link for the filter you are using?
Just the tank, air pump, and sponge is all you need. I get my sponges from a local place and we don't have an Amazon link so you can just shop around for the size you need.
Ironic that the first time I watch this video, yall have another hurricane making landfall. Florida, right 🤷♂️ Hope yall aren't getting it too badly. Do you always wait until a tank is cycled to add substrate? I assumed you would add it when putting it together to let the biofilm develop on the substrate as well.
Wow love the setup.. stumbled on your video looking for summer tubs ideas. Where can you get these preferably new or food grade and average costs? Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
I don't worry about how many I've started some with 10 and others with 50+ as long as quality is goof the numbers will come and you will have less culls and work
I get so many orders going out each week that as I catch the shrimp for them I go thru and Cull anything that doesn't meet my standards. I use big nets and catch as many shrimp as I can with out messing up the plants.
actually sulfur is not very water soluable, with your air bubbler it will quickly make SO2 and leave through contact with air - it will not hang around too long.

Substrate is 100% needed for the shrimp to color up otherwise they will wash out just like in barebottom tanks

What kind of tanks are those? Looking to have a small setup at home for food. Do you have any books or resources you recommend for starting out.
IBC totes and everything is basically self taught or we watch loads of videos to come up with our own solution. However these shrimp are not for food
Very impressive setup!, What kind of shrimp are you raising? Where do you purchase the fryer?
We breed neocaridina outside. What fryer?
Do you have specs for the filters? @the garden of eder?

I guess I've got some catching up to do I don't believe you ever showed us how you built those filters?
I just bought filters rated for 250 gallons they were not diy

Hurricane cleared us thankfully! no we usually add substrate first

Thanks! We lucked out and found someone local. Try looking on local facebook sale pages or Craigslist.
Where did you get this containers ? Whats the name of the containers ?Costs?
They are IBC totes we got them on Facebook market place used for around 50 to $100 each
@thegardenofeder thanks alot for the info and your video you are a kind person.
@user-gr9te5qw5e your welcome thanks for watching
How do you find buyers for all these shrimp?
We have a online store tgoeshrimp.com that we cant even keep up with the demand. If we had too many even local pet stores are asking for them
@thegardenofeder that's awesome, well done !
What size AIR BUBBLER ARE You using
1/3 hp blower
How much salinity water for breeding fresh waterprawn
This is 100% fresh water we don't even test the salinity
Can you update the exact product you use from brightwell
Fantastic. How many shrimp do you stock per tank?
I don't worry about how many I've started some with 10 and others with 50+ as long as quality is goof the numbers will come and you will have less culls and work
how often u have to change the filter
Haven't had to change one yet. We clean them maybe twice a year
what is the diametrer and height of this filter? no too small? thanks ;)

Were can you buy shrimp tubs from
Craigslist or Facebook market place
I love this but man I have to ask is it a total prick of a job to cull those tanks?.. I would like to do something like this
I get so many orders going out each week that as I catch the shrimp for them I go thru and Cull anything that doesn't meet my standards. I use big nets and catch as many shrimp as I can with out messing up the plants.
Great video. Thanks again .
What is a price per tank that you use?
$50-$100 depends on how used and clean they are
actually sulfur is not very water soluable, with your air bubbler it will quickly make SO2 and leave through contact with air - it will not hang around too long.
I guess it just washes out really easily then but that's funny the chemist that builds the bombs told me that so I was just going off what he said.
Can I order live shrimp from you?
If your in the USA our site is tgoeshrimp.com
Hey hey can we get an update on theas guys 😃
