I am a Biology teacher and used this video during lockdown. I had the students study the different water parameters and made them watch this to see an example of when water parameters are important. Thank you for this beautifull guide! My students loved it too!

Guides like this are why I love YouTube. Not some 4 minute crap with barely any info but a nice 20 minute quality video with great information! Keep it up and I would love to know if you have any information on keeping Paratya Australiensis as I am from Australia so they are native here and I have just started with breeding them!

I've never seen a most completed and well explained video on my life.

Best video I've seen on YouTube for any shrimp hobbiest. Honestly watched 30+ videos and so glad I found this. SO HELPFUL!

By far, the most complete guide on caring for shrimp. Well done.

I have been keeping red cherry shrimp for a few months now, and I already love them. This video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

I have been reading and watching videos on shrimp keeping and breeding for the past several months. I have gotten good information on several sites. On YouTube I am down to 3 (+/-) people I watch and listen to regularly. This post is the most comprehensive and it cleared up some questions I still had. Outstanding work Thank you.

As a new shrimp keeper this is by far one of the best videos I've watched 😊
@patjesser9219 4 years ago

This is actually THE BEST, most informative video I’ve seen. Thank you so much. From an aspiring breeder.

This video is so good. Very detailed, easy to understand. I'm brushing up on shrimp info because I'm starting to keep them again and just wanted to let you know- great job!

This channel deserves to be 100x bigger. Awesome quality videos, always perfect length

By far the best 'how to' video on breeding anything for a beginner. This format is concise, informative and easy to follow. I wish all fish videos were so helpful. Imagine what you and Tank Tested could do together. Bravo!

One of the most completed guide in shrimp keeping! I am a crystal shrimps breeder and I have been using tap water for years. I guess it really really depends on the shrimp line and the quality of the local water 😊
@Noelanigabrielle 4 years ago

Ive watched sooo many videos, this is by far the best of them. Seriously the best one I've ever seen! Thanks for taking the time to give us some great advice!
@maryannpotts7333 3 years ago

I really am stoked to start a shrimp tank after watching this! This is the best video by far I've seen on shrimp breeding!! Thank you 😊

This is the most detailed and informative video on shrimps I came across so far. Loved it
@Abigelow15 3 years ago

I'm rather new to the hobby, and still learning so much (so I appreciate your content more than you know). I REALLY appreciate your charts/visuals on breeds/types, and water parameters, as it's much easier to reference a screenshot than have to continually look up info! Thanks again for all the effort you put in to this.
