Shrimp porn.

[parakeetlover102]

hey i was just wondern if they can live in a 10gal tank with an apple snail, a sword tail, a black tetra, 2 micky platys, and another type of small fish? thanks alot message me please!

[Jazbar4]

@parakeetlover102 Live yes.......live long and prosper.......prolly not :)

The tank is close to full and unless u have a oversized filter and do weekly water changes....the nitrate levels are probably bouncing around to much for shrimp.

[Penguin0fDoom6z]

where can you get these?

[aFish4everyone]

Thanks I think they will be fine im not getting any fish that are to big I just ordered 30 cherries online cant wait.Plus im making it densley planted so they will have plenty of places to hide maybe a couple of babbies will survive I doubt it but u never know thank you so much and when I get them I'll let you know if there good k thanks~aFish4everyone~

[aFish4everyone]

Thanks for answering and I dont know the name exactly But it was meant for the tank it came with it when I bought I think its a Topfin 60

[Jazbar4]

@aFish4everyone well that filter is adequate but not really something I would feel comfortable over feeding with.

But the shrimp aren't to expensive.........worth a try IMO.

GL!

[aFish4everyone]

Do you think they would be good in 55g planted tank with livebearers, cories,tetras fish like that or will they try to eat them? I have already seen your videos and I think your tank is amazing and I think these fish would be fine with them but I just want to be sure please answer thanks ~aFish4everyone~

[Jazbar4]

@aFish4everyone they should be if the tank is heavily planted and the fish are fed enough so that they are not hunting in between feedings. But ya gotta watch your water quality to if you are gonna feed a lot.

What are you using to filter?

[Asian4Invasion]

Great Video! I was wondering are these Freshwater "Community" shrimp; get along very well with all species.

[Jazbar4]

@Asian4Invasion Check out my other video titled 92g corner community at dusk for a good example of a community tank environment that the cherries thrive in.

[BrownDarter]

I recently purchased some and they are kept at room temp which is 72 degrees at night in 30 gallon planted tank.

Do you think heater is needed?

the shrimp seem to be doing great but I would like them to breed.

[Jazbar4]

@BrownDarter They will breed/grow faster at the higher end of the 70s but otherwise they will do just fine at the low end.

[BrownDarter]

@Jazbar4 Thank you. They have bred non stop which is great since I got them. Your right I use a heater set to 76 and they breed much better than at 72.

[iceb131]

Do they lay they're eggs?

[Jazbar4]

@iceb131 technically they've already been laid in this video. The first sign of them is what's called the saddle. The female will have a light coloring on it's back that looks like a horses saddle. This is the eggs in the ovaries.....from there they are "laid" and come to rest under the shrimps tail where she cares for them until they hatch a few weeks later.

[iceb131]

@Jazbar4 Oh I see! I have just started a shrimpy tank, I started out with 6, and have noticed little yellowness on the backs of the really red ones. I am really excited to get some babies in my tank, I have followed what everyone says about them and have them alone in a planted tank with driftwood and rocks, and nutrient rich substrate. I didnt know if they layed their eggs maybe in the java moss i planted, or if they hid their eggs under their tails. We will see what happens! :D

[TheDogh8ter]

what do they eat?

[Jazbar4]

@TheDogh8ter left over food and algae.

[TheAquariaChannel]

@Jazbar4 I feed mine blanched zuchini as well. (It's mostly for my bristlenose fry but it works fine for them too. Algae wafers never hurt too.)

[Decapitator9000]

I just bought 5 and there is 2 red ones and 3 light colored smaller ones. I was wondering when they would start breeding and how many would spawn

[Jazbar4]

@Decapitator9000 you should see saddled females in a 1-3 months and they can have as many as 50 shrimplets.

[BrixBG]

i have too few of them bur i don't like the colour

[Jazbar4]

@BrixBG yes some strains of these cherries have a very washed out look to them and most people will sell juveniles because they ship better. But if the juvies come from good stock, in a few months time they'll color up nicely.

[BrixBG]

@BrixBG ok

[pokemon2727]

is this salt or freah water?

[Jazbar4]

@pokemon2727 This is fresh water

[pokemon2727]

@Jazbar4 omg if this is fresh water i want one

does this need an air pump?

[Jazbar4]

@pokemon2727 no air pump needed. Just keep your water quality good and I recommend live plants with these guys......they help keep the water chemistry stable.

[pokemon2727]

@Jazbar4 ahh i see ty

[Thatkidmakinvids]

Thats a really nice camera, and video.

What type is it?

[Jazbar4]

@Thatkidmakinvids Ya it takes nice crisp video huh.

It's a sony 30GB HD cam.

[AesirSovann]

how will you know its pregnant? and what about if the female gave birth without you knowing then your about to clean the tank. wont it siphon them?

[Jazbar4]

@AesirSovann you can tell they are pregnant when you see the eggs tucked up under their tail. I never "clean my tanks" I only trim plants and do weekly water changes of about 25%. The fish poo and leaf litter that gathers at the bottom of the tank is great food for your plants.

[igorKanshyn]

It's great!

[SpitRhyma]

I commend you for your proper pet care.

How much water current do they need/tolerate? I want them either in a very high current plant tank (VEEEERRRY high current) or a VERY low current plant tank.

My other tanks have predators so those aren't an option. Do you know if they can survive with extremely low current?

[Jazbar4]

@SpitRhyma If you have plants thriving in the tank and there are no preds....they should do fine.  They are very hardy for an invert.

[Anamika2505]

What do u feed yr red cherry shrimp?

[Jazbar4]

@Anamika2505 There really isn't a need to feed them unless you have a hundred or more. They can survive and even thrive on leftover fish food and even just the algae that grows in the tank. But if you do have a lot you can feed them just about anything that won't spoil your tank. I've fed spinach, green beans, frozen peas, lettuce and any fish food that sinks like algae wafers.

They are far from picky eaters.

[teggart123]

hi ppl i have some bee shrimp one of them has lots of little balls inside its body. are they eggs or is it just bloodworm they have eaten?

thnks

[Jazbar4]

@teggart123 those are eggs.

[YoutwixMe]

shes like UHHH JUST STAY INSIDE ALREADY!

[Theue00]

fajne

[HollieDahhrlinn]

I think males are almost transparent arent they?

[Jazbar4]

Yes they can be rather drab.

A couple males come into frame at 0:41

These two are about as drab as they get.

Although, I many males that have very nice dark red bands.

[Jazbar4]

I uploaded a video entitled "Male Red Cherry Shrimp" . It's a short clip of one of my more colorful males.

[DemonDrug95]

woo hoo i got a few berried females but i saw one of my shrimps was like the last segment of the tail transparent..is it sick?even i tried to grab it it doesn't do the rocket launch like the other shrimps.. :C

[xJaypex]

oh also, i think selectie breeding can help you get super red cherrys

[Pikepik215]

I have rcs too, i wonder how to make that shrimp's colour become solid red..

because i have some of them are solid red and the other just transparent red or rather white...

thx u for ur reply

[thEsPamer106]

what are you feeding them? fish food with colour changing / dye aditives can screw your colours up pretty bad.

[xJaypex]

well i think the females are usually more colorful than the males, mine are super bright red with like a pinkish stripe going tom their heads to ther tails i dont feed them anything though..

[Pikepik215]

i fed them tetra min... i just made discus tank 2 days ago (180 gallon / 600 litre) with big redmoor driftwood and sand only , but the water still cloudy and brownish ..

do u know how long it takes to become clear?

best regard, leo

[xJaypex]

cloudy tanks usually mean that theyre still in the cycling process or over feeding, but i dont think youre over feeding since you set it up two days ago, and the brownish part i think itll last up two 2 months maybe more, unless you do likemore frequent water changes

i just put in a log in my 55g and the water is brownish too hah

[DO92DO]

the solid red's are females, the more transparent ones are males

[FaMoUs82Am0s]

For your shrimp farm do you turn the lights out when it is night time, as in a real life situation. (even though Neocaridina denticulata sinensis var. red is raised in Taiwan and DON"T live in the wild. But i will have Albino Corydora Aeneus, and Blue dragon guppies.

[Jazbar4]

I do have a "natural" light schedule for them. Just like any other aquarium situation. Those fish you mention shouldn't bother the adult shrimp but they will attempt to eat any newborns they happen to come across.

[362stuart]

i have a tropical fish tank that, i have just filled up today. I was thinking about filling it up with fish but im more keen to breed shrimps, the tank is only 5.5 gallons but i have a massive community tank downstairs. do you think that my 5.5 gallon tank is big enough to breed shrimps?

Also how long has that female been pregnant and how did you get the female pregnant.

great vid. If you anser my questions i will subscribe to you.

[meklo361]

Hey I got a shrimp that has eggs anyways I could get them when they hatch you know nuch about that?

[Jazbar4]

Well, you wouldn't have any luck trying to catch the babies, they are much to delicate.

What you can do though, is to catch mom before the eggs hatch. Use a specimen container with no holes. Hang it inside the shrimps tank and change 25% of the water with tank water ever day. It would also be helpful to keep some live plants and perhaps a small handful of tank gravel in the specimen container with the mom.

[holaeman]

wow!

i have a question!

i see in the background there is some

rodulph shrimp? im probably wrong but

how can you tell which one is a female

and can they live with goldfish?

thanks (:

[Jazbar4]

Well I just reviewed the video and yes that does kinda look like a rudulph (spelling?) but it's not, it's a male cherry. The females are dark red like the one in the forground when they have matured. The males are red but clear.......semi transparent.

As for goldfish, they will certainly eat any baby shrimp and depending on the size of the goldfish they would most likely chow down on the adults too.

[Firemajic]

oh gosh thank you so much! i was really worried because i'm kind of young in the fish area (being ninth grade) but i've been doing it since a kid with my dad (african chiclid fanatic) and we really haven't done shrimp before...thank you so much.

[Firemajic]

can you keep these guys w/ bushy nose pleco, siamese algae eater, and glass cats?

[Jazbar4]

yep....I've had each of those in the past and the only one that you need be slightly concerned about would be the glass cats.  They may eat some newborns but they'll never bother the juvies or adults.

[iktomi88]

how do you tell if a cherry shrimp is pregnant? ive had 1 male and 2 females for some time but still cant tell if the females are pregnant

[Jazbar4]

have a closeer look at this video.....you can see the eggs when they are carrying.

[JMCraig]

you ever kept caridina shrimp with bettas?

i want to get a betta for my asian tank, but i keep it clean with amano shrimp, and i don't want them killed.

thanks

[Chhayawolf]

I wouldn't recommend keeping bettas with any shrimp, specifically dwarf shrimp including red cherries and caridina. There have been some bettas on a blue moon that get along peacefully with just about anything. But considering you don't want to risk killing any shrimp it's best to leave your tank as is. But if you were determined to risk it with some supervision, look for the laziest or most mellow betta out there. Still, seeing small fast moving things may look like lunch if your not careful.

[JMCraig]

thanks for the reply.

i actually did risk it, and the betta got along fine with 5 amano shrimp in a 3 gallon tank. the only problem occurred when i added 2 white clouds, and then the betta died...

fortunatey, betta + shrimp turned out to work like a charm.

[shacks30]

I keept 6 Armanos with 4 Betta they got along pretty well but after 6 weeks the Armanos shit 24/7 my whole tank was messed up pretty much I vacum cleaned my tank every day,I can tell.Imaging you have a snow white carpet and every day the chimney sweep walk over it with dirty shoes ;)

So I get rid of them Yesterday.

[JMCraig]

haha, me too. i keep mine in a 3 gallon with white sand substrate. i have to suck the shit up twice a week with a bit of airline tubing to keep it from getting really nasty. i've got to keep mine though because they're really one of the best animals for a algae control in such a small, unheated tank. plush they're really fun to watch when you put some food in ans they go berserk.

[shacks30]

I had to clean the bottom every single day coz they were pretty busy ;) but I must agree they are very good for algae control.

But I am glad I gave them away coz my tank has now a white bottom again.

[TheBlondeGrenade]

i have 3 of these + two of them gave birth :O

i now have like 30. (: x

[DrunKnZoid]

My guppys arn't eating ghost shrimp... im scared the fghost shrimp will eat the baby guppies but.. where do they sell cherry shrimp ;S

[willidog]

I got mine on ebay. 30 bucks for about 15 or so.

[mishmosh2000]

Love the clarity of your video's. Really well done the bunch of them! Thanks for sharing.

[batasushi]

I was thinking of buying 10 pairs of those.

do they get along with guppies and tetras?

what size are the adults?

please reply fast. need information badly!

[naits360]

I think the guppys will eat them, and I'm sure that guppys and tetras will eat shrimp babies.

the adults are about 2,5 cm.

[explosiv0]

cherry shrimp will be fine with guppys and tetras, but as said before they will probably eat babies.

get loads of java moss for babies to hide in

[MyFishWillPwnU]

Chivas, cherries breed like guppies, so their aren't many non-obvious tips. Great video and a very vivid shrimp & footage. 5/5 :)

[CAmAd727]

thats clear

[jpetrucci05]

a red red wine cherry, interesting gene pool

[Jamiroquai2172]

Very nice video quality.

[Koshy2]

Im curious, did those eggs mature? They look dead. Ive got some 200 Cherrys and some of the females seem to "miscarry," if that would be the proper terminology, randomly. Which results in the eggs turning the whitish color and them poking at them constantly. They should be a gold color, or potentially green, if theyre still healthy.

[dekstr]

Nice video of pregnant RCS. Now I know what pregnant ones look like.

I don't think it takes much to get CRS to breed...just nice water quality, suitable hiding place, some hiding places like moss, some plants, some detritus, that's it.

[ChivasSG]

Nice, shrimp nice vid quality.

Mind sharing tips on breeding it?

Mind sharing the camera? LoL

[cah027]

That is a really nice vid. What model cam and what encoding soft/setting did you use ?

[seahuntroger]

Cool

[Jazbar4]

Feed them well and keep your ph up and of course wait for them to become adults. :)

[Mystix212]

Hint Hint,. what colour are cherrys? red. hence the name.

[kopiO]

how do u make your shrimp so red?

[armada4x4]

he boiled it first then put it back in the aquarium

[simeonegattuso]

AAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[phudao41]

hahahahah
