Just thought I'd share a video I made today at work.

mmmm shrimp. Nice video of the shrimp. Been interested in starting a colony of a type of shrimp but not sure what yet. But mine are intended as feeders.

i am ashamed to admit this (no I am not) but I have a 20gallon long tank that has been up and running for months now that would be perfect for shrimp (was growing out some fry, now it's empty) and some of that plant shown in that video...... can anyone(aquarium coop) tell me what I could expect to pay to get some entry level shrimp to live in my tank?
thanks in advance

At a store entry level shrimp would be $4-$6. Private party, you might be able to find some at $2 each.

Private party 1 dorrah xD if you know the right gal :]

my current substrate is a mix of red, white, and black gravel..... would the reds blend in too much? should i look for some other color / species / shrimp?

Fun informational videos Cory, I like them. I am growing all these plants & appreciate  the experienced info about how deep to plant the Cryps, & about melting. Keep them coming

Thanks Cory for the helpful videos! Good info for me on shrimp and easy plants to keep. :clap:

Hey cory, speaking of Val, has the small val that you sold me out of the 20gal tank gotten any longer?

Mine have only gotten a little longer, but keep chaining off babies like crazy... and I have them outside now, so they have plenty of light.

I would definitely try val first if you're new to plants, I tried a crypt (not lutea, it is wendii red) that just completely melted once I put it in the tank, which is fairly common. It's come back almost fully now (actually is half-melting again because I moved it into the greenhouse where it gets more sun), but they do seem to be picky about everything being consistent. Which, honestly, is something you should shoot for anyway, but if you're just starting out with plants I wouldn't recommend crypts from my experience

I've got an idea, Cory. We can discuss it on Wednesday.
Anywho, I think these videos are great, everyone can learn so much from these videos and just look at all them fishies and shrimp, they're all healthy!

Very cool Cory!

Is it possible to create something like a library on the forum, where the videos can be sorted (either alphabitized, or by species type)? That way, when eventually there are many more species info videos, someone looking for info on a particular species wont have to seach through a big long thread?
