I have two or three more water change videos coming up what would you like to see next ? Have a nice weekend and dont forget to like the video, thank you 👍
Thankyou for the fertiliser info Mark it was just what i needed. Ive been reluctant to use anything in the shrimp tank and didnt know what to buy. Ive actually got a bag of Potash and a bag of Iron Sulphate for my garden plants, could i use these?
Hi Mark, Just started keeping shrimp. the iron you use is it chilated iron? I use it in my acuaponic system and its fish safe but comes in powder form so needs water added first. liquid is dificult to find here in spain and many international sites cannot post liquids over i think is 250ml which makes it expensive as for 1ltr its 4 different packages/postages. I had many problems trying to find a dealer for Maxicrop which i also use in my acuaponic system. Great channel that i am slowly working through the content, thanks for sharing.
Great content. I have a 10 gallon bee tank and they reproduce like crazy for me. I agree with everything you have said. I wish I would have watched you when I first started Bee Shrimp keeping.
Hey Mark quick question, we all know that general rule of thumb is to do 10 %t o 20 % water change. Is it safe to do about 40% to 45% water change to help with the ammonia spike problem. Let know thanks
how often do you add the iron and fert etc for the plants is this every two weeks whn doing water changes mark or do u add that plant stuff more often weely ? daily etc ?
I dont do this at all now, my shrimp come before the plants, if you do have a planted tank you can still do this stuff like iron can be added every 2nd day at peak growth times in your tanks.
Marks Shrimp Tank you mark 👍👍🏻 my gh is about 14 when it should be 8 i think, ive only had a tank a year and maybe 1 guppy a month or 2 dies im guessing it could be that or poor guppys. Thank you for replying 👍
yes they do, you will get a slight increase, I dont use them anymore though. I would rather restart a tank that try and fix an issue with a lack of ferts...the less you do the better shrimp survive.. saying that if you have a large planted tank still sty and dose when you can.
Wicked channel Mark, I have had an issues with red cherry shrimps in the past id spend around £50 on the shrimps and they would breed and the females would get berried then they would all start to die? Any advice please .
Hello Scotty, the most common reason without knowing more details would be you doing to large a water change, I only do 10% of aged treated Reverse osomosis a week, if you are on tap you should also age the water this is just letting it sit for 24hr preferably in the same room as the tank so they heat up to roughly the same temp. make sure you also use a dechlorinator 👍
Is it possible for for you to cover Chitinolytic Bacterial Disease c causes, and treatment. Recently got some bad advice and lost about 25 crystals. Love your videos!
Never had it my friend but its meant to be a bacterial disease in the shell itself, leading to brown spots ... If you know about h202 dosing I wouild have tried that.
Marks Shrimp Tanks thank you. I have considered that path next. My tank had a volume of water around 38 liters. Can I really add 12mL or H202 safety? That seems like a lot.
I love your videos. Have you done any aquascaping tanks where there is large water changes like 50% a week. Your Shrimps are absolutely fantastic. I like shrimps, my tank is sterile compared to yours no algae is there a compromise somewhere or a way to get around it. Thanks for all your hard work, Steve.
Hello Steve, huge water changes will kill shrimp for sure, I would say its the one main thing that turns a novice shrimp keeper into a competent one and then you start to have way more success, I only do 10% a week but I am always looking at ways to keep the water cleaner without over filtering.
syphoning tip. You never have to suck on the tube if you have a small cup on one side of your hose like you've got at 16:43 Just put your thumb over the end of the tube, then fill the tube by scooping several times with the cup. Hold the cup in the air so it runs into the tube. (so never a reason to put your mouth on the tube or accidentally get a mouthful of aquarium water.
How not to breed shrimp, last year's i buy like 10 pinto shrimp n just put them in cardinal tetras tank n they eat all the algae in that tank just in 1 month 10 turn into 25 shrimp 3 months i hve like 50 of them n overload the tank i hve to move some of them to another new tank, 6 month past i hve like 200+ of pinto shrimp n move again to bigger tank so now 1year 3 months i hve like 500+ pinto shrimp from 10 shrimp to 500+ pinto shrimp, shrimp are easy breeder..
Hello Joricano, It is if you use tap water, I use Reverse Osmosis water that has nothing in it until I add things so I know my TDS readings will be true, you can't use a tds meter on tap water to gauge gh as an example because a tds meter reads everything not just gh.
Hy Mark in this video :ua-cam.com/video/pUes62dVPRM/v-deo.html you do 25% water change at 100 TDS now you do 10% water change at 128 TDS why do you change ?
hi, Mark. is it possible for you to write about your Orange Eyed Blue Tiger shrimp tank? somethings about substrate and water parameters and etc. thank you so much. good luck.

A video of if you could only keep one type of plant, substrate, driftwood, filter, shrimp, light, tank size,food ect. Also why you would choose them.
Hi mark. Seachem Iron is fine to use right?
Great video ty
And I laughed 🤭 beard was gone then beard there then gone again lol 😂
Thank you very much for this video, i'm new in shrimp lover and your videos helpful
Glad to help
Great Video as always Mark, Thanks :)
Thankyou for the fertiliser info Mark it was just what i needed. Ive been reluctant to use anything in the shrimp tank and didnt know what to buy. Ive actually got a bag of Potash and a bag of Iron Sulphate for my garden plants, could i use these?
yes but really be careful with the dosing, I am not a 100% sure what is safe with potash and shrimp
Hi Mark, Just started keeping shrimp. the iron you use is it chilated iron?

Another great stream Mark, very informative and entertaining.
Great content. I have a 10 gallon bee tank and they reproduce like crazy for me. I agree with everything you have said. I wish I would have watched you when I first started Bee Shrimp keeping.
Thank you
I'm interested in those bricks you use for hiding spots, did you need to do anything special to them to make them tank safe?
I’m also interested, where could I pick some up?
Hey Mark quick question, we all know that general rule of thumb is to do 10 %t o 20 % water change. Is it safe to do about 40% to 45% water change to help with the ammonia spike problem. Let know thanks
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. :)
Awesome vid. Magical disappearing, appearing then disappearing beard!!!
I always love this movies from you!
Some questions why do you use ferro? Shrimp hate iron?
What does humim+ for your tank?
Thanks Mark!
the ferts are for plants ,Iron is shrimp safe, hummin and fulvic help the shrimp absorb minerals, it also helps with molting.
how often do you add the iron and fert etc for the plants is this every two weeks whn doing water changes mark or do u add that plant stuff more often weely ? daily etc ?
I dont do this at all now, my shrimp come before the plants, if you do have a planted tank you can still do this stuff like iron can be added every 2nd day at peak growth times in your tanks.
are you in Toronto by any chance?
Most excellent video, my good Sir.
Thank you Tatersalade 👍
Hi mark, i wanted to know if there is a thing as too much calcium in a shrimp tank since i am interested in keeping snails in my caridina tank aswell
no I dont think so
what do you use on the hose to put water back into the tank after taking 10% out?
why would I use anything on the hose ?
I thinks he/she is talking about the clamp to hold.
Hope there will be Monday stream. I need to get up for it!
Hi mark great videos, so much to learn!
Would a water change with straight RO water reduce high GH?
Ty
yes it does but you shouldnt do that a lot like do it only once a month if you have to
Marks Shrimp Tank you mark 👍👍🏻 my gh is about 14 when it should be 8 i think, ive only had a tank a year and maybe 1 guppy a month or 2 dies im guessing it could be that or poor guppys. Thank you for replying 👍
Hey I use ro water and the shrimp mineral gh/kh +. All my neo shrimp died, I have zero kh some how. Should I just get some cardinia shrimp?
Do the fertilisers have much effect on tds?
yes they do, you will get a slight increase, I dont use them anymore though. I would rather restart a tank that try and fix an issue with a lack of ferts...the less you do the better shrimp survive.. saying that if you have a large planted tank still sty and dose when you can.
Thanks Mark 👍
Great movie. Thanks Mark :)
Hello Szopen, I learn a lot from you :)
it's interesting; @Szopens Shrimps is speaking English here; but, he is posting his videos even without any English subtitle.
@@saidmilani Because it is difficult to do.
I talk a lot in movies, so adding subtitles is very time consuming.
@@szopensshrimps I agree with you; but, unfortunately, I'm losing what can I learn from you.
Wicked channel Mark, I have had an issues with red cherry shrimps in the past id spend around £50 on the shrimps and they would breed and the females would get berried then they would all start to die? Any advice please .

thats fantastic your having so much luck with them 👍
I'm guessing it's some kind of pro strategy to culture algae on the go in your beard like that 😂
where do you get the hydrogen peroxide?
a store in germany , tropic something they are called
That is funny, because the store with that name (Continente) is from my country, Portugal!
👍❤👍
👍
🥳👍
Where are you from?
Scotland but I live in Norway
Sup Mark
I thought GH was a better reference than TDS
Hello Joricano, It is if you use tap water, I use Reverse Osmosis water that has nothing in it until I add things so I know my TDS readings will be true, you can't use a tds meter on tap water to gauge gh as an example because a tds meter reads everything not just gh.
Ahhh got it
Hy Mark in this video :ua-cam.com/video/pUes62dVPRM/v-deo.html you do 25% water change at 100 TDS now you do 10% water change at 128 TDS why do you change ?
Things change as I learn more
Man I wish he just would get to the point 😑
sorry mate, anything you need to know specifically?
hi, Mark.
is it possible for you to write about your Orange Eyed Blue Tiger shrimp tank? somethings about substrate and water parameters and etc.
thank you so much.
good luck.
