Starting your first shrimp tank can feel so overwhelming.…
…But you don’t have to figure it out alone.
You don’t need more random videos and unclear advice.
You need clear, actionable steps to set up your first shrimp tank.
But as a beginner, every “right way” looks different depending on who you ask. The more you search, the harder it gets to know where to even begin…
You’re left trying to piece together:
But not knowing isn’t failure. It’s where every beginner begins; it’s the start of gaining knowledge.
Started shrimp keeping in 2022 and grew from 20 shrimp to 300+ in 6mths.
Focused on fixing root issues, not just throwing band-aids on problems.
Wasted hundreds before learning what really matters most.
Made the mistakes no one talks about and figured out what actually works.
Dealt with pests, crashes, and losses that forced me to learn the hard way.
This isn’t theory. I’ve lived it.
Everything in my guides is simple, easy to apply, and deeply researched.
Straight to the point without the fluff.
No gimmicks, no overcomplications – just real explanations and what works.
Here’s How Rosies Can Help You
Cut through the noise with beginner-first guidance that gives you clarity and confidence from the very first step.
Follow clear, calm steps that take you from empty tank to shrimp-ready – no guessing, no overcomplication.
Create a stable, beautiful tank your shrimp reflects your care and patience while feeling proud of what you made possible.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing it right, and knowing you’ve built something that flourishes.
With the right foundation, keeping shrimp can gain a rhythm without the struggle.
The tank holds steady. The shrimp are thriving. And you’re not second-guessing every move.
Checking on your tank becomes a calming ritual, not a source of anxiety.
You feel confident handling issues because you finally get what’s happening in your water.
Your setup feels easy to manage and even easier to love.
The effort shows in the clarity of the water, the movement of the shrimp, and the quiet pride you feel every time you look at it.
Friends and family notice your passion, your effort, and your tanks.
This isn’t just a hobby anymore – it’s something you created, and it’s thriving.
And best of all, you finally feel like you’re doing it right.
Starting shouldn’t mean second-guessing every step.
You’ve done enough searching.
Now build something you’re proud of.
No, some say a 20L tank is enough, but honestly, for beginners, 40-60L is perfect and way more forgiving.
I started with a colony of 20-50, and within 3-6 months, I had hundreds that I needed another tank for the excess within a year.
But what matters more is stability, not size. A well-cycled, balanced tank is better than a big one done wrong, especially if you are on a tighter budget or have limited space.
You’ll need to cycle your tank first, which takes around 4–6 weeks. I know it’s tempting to rush, but stability is what keeps shrimp alive, not shortcuts.
Everything I teach is for Neocaridina shrimp, but the principle is the same for all aquatic creatures. They’re the most beginner-friendly species and come in a range of colours like red, blue, orange, and yellow.
That’s more common than you think, and it’s not the end. If you weren’t taught the right basics, it’s no surprise things didn’t work. This time, you’ll have a clear process to follow.
Yes – once it’s set up properly. Shrimp don’t need constant attention, but they do need a stable environment. Start slow, follow the right steps, and it becomes a calming, steady rhythm.
