There's A Better Way To Cycle Your Shrimp Tank

I'm a beginner shrimp keeper researching my first tank and this was so useful!

I love mystery snails. It’s so fun to watch them surf around. I’m definitely going to try this method to start my next tank.

Very creative and funny video . Also I love the educational graphics ! Easy for beginners . Keep going , love your content . 👍🙏😎

I got kicked from the aquarium shrimp keeping group for some reason but nice to see your videos here way better than marks 😂

youtube can be such a weird thing. i build my first tank for shrimp 3-4 days ago. i got some plants from people locally so theres allready some algae on the plants to get it going. 2 days ago i was at the aquarium store again to look around and i just bought 2 horned nerites just because i was ''young and full of energy'' lol. i was just enthusiastic and i wanted this thing to go and put something in there and i thought having 2 snails in there might just make the cycling a little more interesting so i have something to look at at least. and now this video pops up and it makes so much sense tbh. also i have to say: i am a person who likes simple things and let nature figure it out instead of playing scientist mixing a bazillion things into my water and i think something like a fish-in cycle in some shape or form is something i would prefer. alltho i have some rather different opinions on ''cruelty'' in that regard. Yes it might not be optimal for the fish and you try to make sure its okay BUT...honestly if i have a look at the tanks they have in petshops selling those fish, i have a hard time believing my tank would be any more cruel, than fish swimming in cramped blue boxes with a fake rock in it. especially if you might pick a fish that doesnt look super happy to begin in order to maybe save it. also depending on what fish or animal, i would say an intelligent betta is a little higher up there compared to a random neon tetra or a snail for example, i dont think you can or should compare something like a small fish or a snail to lets say a cat or a dog really. how many people say: ''oh thats cruel towards that snail'' but on the other hand kill every single moscito or fly they see in their home without even thinking about it? how is that any different?

YAY!! More great shrimp content. Hoping to see more videos, and I'll be sharing this with my shrimp homies for sure.

Love your videos! They are easy to understand, love the wonderful graphics to show perameters and how they work. Also, not a boring monotone log!!!! Hate those. Keep up the grate work.

Thank you! Brand new to this hobby and still trying to figure it out

love this video! it's explained very well, can't wait to watch all your videos!

your videos have been the most well explained and thorough ones Ive watched so far! thought I already had all the info I needed for shrimp keeping but I ended up learning more :)

Literally cycling a new tank atm and stuck a trio of red (honestly mine are more like hot pink) ramshorns in. Thought process was "huh they're pretty low-bioload so it's like a fish-in cycle but ~softer~". Then not a day later this video gets suggested to me lol crazy part is I do plan to put shrimp in there (and maybe a few nano fish too).

Love the content very informative

Very informative.

Thanks for sharing this video. Funny I have been in and out of the hobby for 25+ years and have never heard of the snail cycle. I just learned something new 😀Makes perfect sense. Great video!

Excellent video. Thanks. 😊

！！ Snails in method is wt i hv always been doing!!! So gd to understand the sciences behind it.

I didn’t cycle my shrimp tank, they were fine but i messed up and had a heater that was too high (78°-80°f). My heater was plugged in for about 8 months before I finally admitted defeat since my colony has been reduced to only 9 (maximum) living individuals. I have an empty tank and im going to cycle that one to see if it improves anything while my current one wont be because the shrimp are already in there (im going to restart it because its ugly lol). This video is very helpful for me to actually learn to cycle my tank

Thank you very much for the infos 👍

Great content.

Wow, how come I didn’t find this channel before now. That totally makes sense. I totally understand it now and my Porsche Shrimp at the very beginning they probably hated me well now that I’m more educated they may love me now. You have a great way explaining it, or I’m just getting smarter or something love your channel. You are great at explaining it for me anyways. Wow, I love this channel that’s all I can say thank you so much and I can’t wait to go look at all that information you just told us about happy shrimping.
