hey how are you
we have managed to collect 11 shrimplets
that have grown from last setup we will
go over the new tank for those
but first let me share with you the
crosses in order to determine what gave
those species the first cross that we
are sure off is black panda with golden
bee since they were the only one in the
main tank
however we don't know their origins
next we added tangerine tiger and red
tiger shrimps to the tank
and here where it mixes up from the 11
we had six look like crystal black three
look like snow b two look like either
red bolt or crystal red and one that
didn't survive looked a bit grayish
assuming that it was a fancy tiger
so if crossing shrimps interest you
please leave a comment what you think
enjoy now the setup of the new tank that
we will use for growing up those
shrimplets until we know exactly what
they are before crossing them again
as usual
we empty the tank and clean it well
before adding anything
this is a pretty known operation
we got this tank as second hand we know
it is a tower and shrimps need more
ground surface to roam
but this shape fits well in this spot
before adding the gravel we sprinkle
around one gram of back tip powder back
tip outer is a probiotic based nitrifier
known as dead shrimp powder it's loaded
with bacillus bacteria and other type of
beneficial bacteria
that will boost the tank cycle
beside boosting the tank cycle it also
adds a continuous food source to the
tank by generating biofilm it is
recommended that you add it to the tank
and wait a couple of days or a week
before adding shrimps
make sure the tank is mature and ready
hope you are enjoying the video please
like and subscribe and let us know in
the comment what you want to see on our
channel
if you are still thinking about the
michelins or the crossbred shrimplets
tell us what's in your mind
we are trying to get to a galaxy type
and starting from scratch
we know we can get a nice breeding pair
and go on from there let's try first try
not to be too judgmental and complain
like some we learn a lot from youtube in
the community
for instance mark shrimp tanks and
shrimp mania have both amazing channels
about shrimp keeping and breeding that
we learned a lot from
[Music]
back to our breeding crosses those are
the shrimplets
at least what we could get on camera
please look at each type and color and
we are waiting for your opinion if you
can identify them
[Music]
see this biofilm on top of the soil
anyway we have identified two either
crystal red or red bolt around seven
crystal black and two or three snow
white what do you think
correct me if i'm wrong it will be of
tremendous help
[Music]
the setup is kinda done
still need a bit of aesthetics and
monitoring
see the final look it fits well with the
nano tanks beside it
we are thinking of replacing the buy orb
one with a similar tower tank what do
you think
in our new setup it is too early to move
the shrimplets today we will wait a week
at least during this week we will do
water tests and try to bring the water
to a stable parameter reading
we are aiming for a 120 tds 4.5 to 6 gh
0 kh and 6.5 ph
it is also important to monitor the
ammonia nitrate and nitrite level and
deal with any issue if you notice they
are going out of control
starting a tank like this might cause
ammonia spike but as we are using a
pre-cycle filter we might get away
to increase the gh we use shrimp king be
salt gh plus
so far it has been serving us well to be
honest we haven't tried any other
product yet except bentonite clay
but it doesn't do much in terms of
increase the hardness more into proving
calcium
okay now this is done
we will add a tall plant to compensate
for bottom space
also here plants are not all recommended
in a shrimp tank but this is baby tears
plant and it is kind of like moss plus
it fills the gap nicely in the back and
of course as you noticed always some
moss and driftwood
the wood and botanicals help lower the
ph as well as the akadama soil we are
using
i'll add a link in the description to
our store where you can find shrimp
specific accessories the baby tears
plant we pulled from the main golden bee
tank
and we will replace it with a small
bucephalandra plant on lava rock it is
not necessary but it will cover the
filter and makes a nice sight to the
skate
[Music]
final touches and final water change
before we add the shrimplets
still the tank is empty so it is fine to
add minerals and supplement directly
mixed in the tank
however if you do so wait a couple of
hours or a day and re-test your water
before
[Music]
and here they come hope they enjoy the
new home and that they grow out well
as for you hope you enjoyed the video
