I’d love to know YOUR thoughts on this one…

Today, we passed 60,000 subscribers on the channel. This is something I am very proud to achieve. It has taken a lot of work to get to this point.

However, I would love to know your thoughts on something.

Did you know YouTube allows creators to buy views and subscribers?

Essentially, the creator pays YouTube, and YouTube boosts their views and/or subscriber count (depending on their goals).

Now recently, there has been a surge in fish and shrimp keeping YouTubers who have bought their way to 100,000 subscribers and the much converted Silver Play Button.

Now, if that’s what they want to do, that’s their choice, but what gets my goat, is they then create a post or make a video saying ‘how pleased they are’ and ‘they couldn’t have done this with their friends and family supporting them!’

The reality is, they couldn’t have done it without the use of their credit card.

Anyway, I wondered what your thoughts are on YouTubers buying their way to 100,000 subscribers then proudly displaying their new play button. 🤔

Hi ShrimpKeepers,

At ShrimpSense, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of shrimp husbandry.

Today, we are proud to unveil a project two years in the making—one that will, quite literally, illuminate your passion.

We have been working closely with specialized UK Marine Research Labs to solve two major problems: targeted nocturnal feeding and, let's face it, seeing our shrimp after dark.

Inspired by the fluorescence science behind GloFish, we are proud to introduce GLOWSTIX: The World’s First Bioluminescent Shrimp Lollies.

Our researchers successfully identified and isolated the natural fluorescent protein (GFP) from deep-sea jellyfish.

Turn off your lights, and your shrimp will GLOW intensely with a vibrant, neon green. This is a temporary, non-toxic, and utterly breathtaking effect.

Experience the thrill of a glowing colony!

This is strictly a pre-order launch. Due to specialized protein extraction limits, we only have 10 packs of 'Blue Lagoon' and 12 packs of 'Cherry Lava' GLOWSTIX remaining in this first batch. If you want a full 'RGB Colony,' secure yours now.

🌿 The "Secret Weapon" Hiding in Your Garden?
Forget the expensive "secret formula" powders for a second. If you want a thriving shrimp colony, the biggest game-changer might actually be one of the most humble plants on earth: Stinging Nettles.

Specifically, Nettle Pellets. While others obsess over liquid additives, pro breeders have been using nettles for years to bridge the gap between "surviving" and "thriving."

Why your shrimp NEED Nettle Pellets:
🛡️ Molting Insurance: Failed molts (the "White Ring of Death") are the #1 killer. Nettles are packed with bioavailable Calcium and Magnesium, delivering minerals directly to the shrimp instead of just chasing TDS numbers in the water.

🍎 The Vitamin "Bomb": Shrimp have basic immune systems. The high Vitamin A and C content in nettles acts as a massive shield against stress and bacterial infections.

🧼 Cleaner Water: High-protein foods can spike ammonia fast. Nettle pellets are fibrous; they break down slowly, allowing babies and adults to graze naturally for hours without turning your tank into "pollutant soup."

Whether you’re keeping hardy Cherries or sensitive Caridina, this is the missing piece of your nutrition puzzle.

The Bottom Line: Nettles aren't just a weed—they’re a nutritional powerhouse.

🦐 PRO-TIP: Brighten Your Colony from the Inside Out

One of the secrets to making your shrimp colors "pop" (vibrant reds, deep blues, solid yellows) is often sitting right on your feeding shelf.

While genetics define the potential, the diet unlocks it.

In their natural habitat, shrimp are ultimate grazers. They constantly seek out nutrient-dense biofilms and specialized algae. If you want those vibrant, thick shells, you need to replicate that nutrition.

The superfood you are looking for is Spirulina.

We recommend a clean, high-grade Spirulina source because the natural beta-carotene and plant proteins not only improve color, but they also support critical immune health and help with molting.

We designed Spirulina Complete to be the ultimate staple diet. It sinks fast, stays firm, and never clouds the water.
