Shrimps in the Aquarium

in dtube •  6 years ago 


Yesterday I posted a video on Fish Feeding on Cucumber. I had some comments from people indicating that they did not know that this can be done. I actually first started feeding my shrimps with cucumber as a supplement to their normal diet. Please take note that the cucumber should first be boiled for about a minute before feeding it to the shrimps. Shrimps are scavengers and will eat almost anything. Food that is not eaten, must however be removed after a while, otherwise the water could be contaminated.

The shrimps I have here are red cherry shrimps which belongs to the new cardinia species. This is an easy shrimp to start with as they are relatively easy to keep. You get them in a variety of colors, but they will mix when kept together, thus you would loose the coloration.

I love watching these little shrimps going about their business in the aquarium.

Towards the end of the video you can see a female shrimp carrying her eggs under her tail.

I took the video, using my iPhone at my home in Pretoria, South Africa.
