This journey follows it from the high-stakes moment of acclimation to molting, feeding, breeding, and the dangers along the way, busting common myths and showing what shrimp really need to stay healthy and active at every stage of life. ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ WATER PARAMETERS Ideal Water Parameters: Temperature (70°F - 75°F / 21°C - 24°C), pH (6.5 - 8.0), GH (4 - 14), KH (0 - 10), TDS (180 - 400 ppm), ammonia and nitrite (0 ppm), and nitrate (below 20 ppm). My Water Parameters: Temperature (78°F / 25.5°C), pH (7.5), GH (12), KH (4), TDS (250 ppm). I have a Betta in this tank, so the temperature is higher than usual. Otherwise, I’d keep it at 75°F (24°C). ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ RECOMMENDATIONS GlasGarten Bacter AE ➡️ https://link.amazon/B00DzaRrR GlasGarten Shrimp Baby ➡️ https://link.amazon/B0btrnLXh GlasGarten Shrimp Fit ➡️ https://link.amazon/B0ipQPf2a GlasGarten Shrimp Dinner ➡️ https://link.amazon/B0fNmRgZD GlasGarten Mineral Junkie ➡️ https://link.amazon/B07hiWQDl GlasGarten Shrimp Lollies ➡️ https://link.amazon/B00h2EgcR New Life Spectrum AlgaeMax Wafers ➡️ https://link.amazon/B0gqMLWIG New Life Spectrum Optimum Flakes ➡️ https://link.amazon/B04XAdRHY No-Planaria ➡️ https://link.amazon/B0iLZ4eKT API Freshwater Master Test Kit ➡️ https://link.amazon/B03GNXB5G API GH & KH Test Kit ➡️ https://link.amazon/B0ilIwOAN ThriveS All-In-One Liquid Fertilizer ➡️ https://link.amazon/B004OX8OH TDS Meter ➡️ https://link.amazon/B01JkqwMa ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00:00 12 Common Shrimp Myths 0:15:10 Bad Batches In Shrimp & Fishkeeping 0:28:44 Drip Acclimating Shrimp 0:35:21 Why Shrimp Hide 0:48:29 Why Shrimp Curl Up 0:55:42 Why Shrimp Have A Stripe On Their Back 1:01:04 Shrimp Feeding 101 1:42:14 Do Shrimp Eat Fish Eggs? 1:45:37 Why Shrimp Molt 2:01:38 Why Shrimp Need Calcium 2:20:34 Neocaridina Shrimp Breeding 101 2:46:43 9 Reasons Why Your Shrimp Are Not Breeding 2:53:37 11 Neocaridina Shrimp Breeding Myths 3:07:45 20 Shrimp-Friendly Tank Mates 3:16:10 Why Shrimp Die ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ RELATED CONTENT Build The Perfect Community Aquarium ➡️    • This Is How To Build The PERFECT Community...   11 Painful Mistakes I've Made With Shrimp ➡️    • 11 PAINFUL Mistakes I've Made With Aquariu...   8 Mistakes My Viewers Made ➡️    • I Asked Aquarists About Their WORST Mistak...   How To Prevent & Treat Algae ➡️    • Not All Algae Is Bad — Here's Why Your Aqu...   Kuhli Dance ➡️    • Kuhli Loach HAPPY Dance - Watch Now!   Blue Velvet Shrimp Tank Build ➡️    • FULL Aquarium Build For Blue Velvet Shrimp...   Mark Shelly Aquatics ➡️ ‪@MarkShellyAquatics‬ Hydrogen Peroxide Guide By ‪@MarksShrimpTanks‬ ➡️    • How To Use Hydrogen Peroxide in Shrimp Tan...   DIY Fry Trap ➡️ https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aq...
