      By the way chirs The drugs are from police dumps they often wash away drug so they are un-useable but it often leaks into rivers and ponds also the turtles and sharks are probably at a sea life centres back rooms where they are fed away from visitors

    I think I saw that tiny sea monkey tank before, the sea monkeys in there actually lived healthily and even bred. The owner has a UA-cam channel that specialized in making videos reviewing and raising sea monkeys. The tank was created as an experiment to see if you can create the smallest fish tank ever, with the diameter of the tank around 1 inch I think. He took great care of the sea monkeys and moved them to a bigger tank when they bred.

    7:23 is actually from a video by Artemia Daddy, who has a lot of knowledge on brine shrimp, and he was testing just how sturdy the shrimp can be (turns out they can survive incredibly even in such an enclosed space and even produced babies). He moved them at the end back to their original tank.

    since 10 years i have a 60 l nano cube with shrimp, fish and snails. I have never cleaned it. Never fed any of the animals in there. After one year or so the populations of all species stabilized. Only the shrimps nearly died out at some point but now it stays at a stable amount too. It is completely clean with a very very small amount of algae. I believe the key to this is not feeding and not exposing it to direct sunlight

    In Vienna they have a seaturtle at the aquarium. Simply because authorities rescued it, when someone tried to smuggle it in at the airport and ever since then, it has been living at the aquarium.
    But that's ONE seaturtle in the massive blacktip shark tank. No excuse for that overstocked mess we saw in the video 😅

    Reference for 7:20 thing, the person made a UA-cam video where he ordered sea monkeys and separated 2 into that tank, he then did an experiment where he saw if they could live, they lived and they even ended up breeding.

    Sadly the place I bought my almond leaf from went under. They were... Kinda shitty in their fish care and selection. But if you wanted a unique tank ne work used they had some good pieces. Also offered tank glass replacement and repair. Which was at a surprisingly reasonable price. ( No bad reviews about the repairs either )
    But the main thing I went there for, was the .25 cent Almond leaf packs. Great deal compared to other local store prices.

    The study that found drugs in shrimps was done in 2018 in Suffolk, England.
    The drugs are used in the pharmaceutical industry, and there are 18 pharmaceutical manufacturers in the county.
    So it is possible that waste is finding it's way into the drainage system.
    FWIW I stopped consuming milk and cheese after I found out that dairy farmers were flushing cattle excrement and urine untreated directly into streams causing environmental damage.
    I never knew that we had freshwater shrimp in the UK so learning something at least puts a silver lining on the story for me!
