Shrimp Fry and Infusoria
Loading...
Uploaded by oBseSsIoNPC on Sep 28, 2009
The shrimp breed is Caridina japonica (Algae Eating Shrimp), they were estimated 3 months old when I made the Video.
And I have 10 in total, not including the fry, from which I found 8 so far.
I have 5 Adults in the 20 gallon tank and 5 in the 10 gallon breeding tank.
The 10 gallon tank has 3 males and 2 females with each eggs on their pleopods.
The 20 gallon tank has males only.
The ONLY cheap food I found for the shrimp fry is Infusoria.
All it is, 2 cell microorganism that feeds of lettuce in my example.
They are the basic food and small enough to be eaten by the VERY tiny fry.
There is also micro algae that develops in the process that they can utilize.
Also I found that since I am adding the infusoria to ALL the tanks, the water is really nice and clean.
From time to time I had bubble carpets on the water surface although I clean the tanks once or twice a week.
Since I add the infusoria, I have ZERO bubbles, that is a great indication for HOW good the water really is.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy/-ed the Video, please leave a rating and a comment, I would really appreciate that.

@TheGrandJump You wont be able to see the infusoria, since they are just a few cells big. The stuff in there is shredded Lettuce and a few snails (tiny snails).

I'm not sure I'm totally clear...boil what water? The aquarium water? Boil the lettuce and then put it in the water? What am I boiling?

@chrisaquarium You boil the water that you want to put over the lettuce in a separate pail, with this method you will cause the infusoria to develop. It will break down the lettuce a lot faster.

hey! the lettuce in the water is actually water conditioner rite? and...how long can the infusoria live in there?

@iliruzanna94 It depends on the water quality, as long as it does not smell bad, the infusoria is fine. The longest I kept a pail fresh was for 2 weeks.
