Hello Guys, and Welcome to Mark's Shrimp Tanks.
Today is Shrimp vs. Pollen,
and this is also going to be a first on my channel.
this is my own product!
Okay so what we're gonna do today is shrimp vs. pollen
and um
On the side here, you will see a breakdown of all the ingredients that are in pollen.
Pollen is an absolutely fantastic food,
especially for baby shrimp, because it dissolves in the water.
It dissolves into tiny minute particles,
Right, so what we are gonna try and do here is,
I'm gonna try and capture this on camera
so I have to pick a part that where I think
it might stay still, you see this little bit of swirling here?
Okay
and then I'm gonna put a few grains of pollen in
and hopefully one of them will float, because if one of them floats you'll see what this does.
You see it? Can you see the trail that's coming off the pollen?
Let's try another piece over here
let's try to keep it in, in the circle.
See it? Can you see the trail coming off that little bit? It's almost like a comet
with the little particles of pollen coming off.
And these little particles of pollen will spread around the entire tank, okay.
What else I've also done with this, guys, is
my own pollen contains:
Beta-Glucans and Montmorillonite Clay.
Okay, we all know the benefits of Montmorillonite Clay,
and you will also know the benefits of Beta-Glucans.
Specifically with this type of Beta-Glucan what happens with it is,
um
all food has a moisture content
you'll see that even in dry foods, if you look at the package there is a "moisture content".
And, uh, the moisture draws in any of the powder that you add to it,
Okay, so I've added powder
to this food in the form of Beta-Glucan and Montmorillonite Clay
and it is sucked into the food, it's absorbed by the food, okay.
So, this is kinda like a
a super food for baby shrimp, the adults will eat it as well.
But this is good for things like, uh, where
baby shrimp, you know, they are kind of stationary
when they are small.
This stuff spreads all around the tank.
If I go a little bit lower down, you might just be able to see the
the little plume of food that's coming off this.
Here in Norway in the summer time
Um, the lakes are literally covered with a surface of Pine pollen, okay.
This stuff I have here is from flowers
that I grow in mountainous parts of the world.
You can see that plume there.
Now this is one of the things I don't advise you to do
Uh, for the, if you're gonna put a few pieces of this in
and you're gonna stand and watch them, use a feeding dish.
But if it's just before lights out you don't bother, just put it anywhere in the tank.
But today, because I want you to see them on it, I'm gonna use a feeding dish. Okay?
So I'm gonna put a piece in every part of the tank.
We're going to go to the music etc. because I know you guys love that.
I love that myself, I love editing those parts.
So, be one momento! Thank you.
[music begins]
[music ends]
Okay guys, let's have a little look and see how they did.
I know how, what's happened already because I've been through here all the time.
But that would kill the suspense, wouldn't it?
That would kill the suspense!
Now what you will find with pollen is if you put it in dishes as well is,
most of the time it will just dissipate and you will never see (laugh) anything else of it .
It will be in the water column, it'll be floating around, it will go in sponges etc. like these big fellas.
And the one over here, you can just see past that lovely glare.
Here's a good example of it, you were just watching the video
less than a few minutes ago
and this was, this had pollen in it.
it's all gone!
But the shrimp still know the food is in the water
and it's dispersed everywhere in the tank,
and this is evident by
if you look at the floor, they are literally everywhere,
and they're still looking for food.
Look at this beautiful female here, this uh...
What's this called guys, this uh, Stop Sign CRS?
This is a gorgeous,
lookit
the wee spot on his back
Beautiful shrimp!
Everywhere I look in here, they are searching for food.
I've taken, um, video of different parts of the tank as well, just to show you the difference.
in the spreading of the pollen so to speak.
And it goes to every corner of the tank.
Any filter that's in here will suck it into the sponge as well.
Oh Hullo~
Okay so,
Pollen is a highly highly recommended food,
I would use it at least
few times a week.
At least anyway, for me, because I have so much of it here
I tend to use it, um, at least every second day.
If I don't use... I'll just show you guys what else I use.
And this is not an advert, trust me this is not an advert.
I use, um, Pure Nordic's Nutridust as one of them,
and I use my own
Pollen Mix, this is available in my store.
My store has had a refurb as well,
I no longer use the one at WordPress
I have a dedicated website now for...
And the Store part of my website, if that makes sense
when you click on the link in my Blog part of my website,
It will take you to another website that is a proper shop, okay?
So go check that out, I hope you've enjoyed today's video.
Please give me a like if you enjoyed this kind of thing and wanna see more
and I'll see ya in the next one, okay?
Happy Shrimp Keeping Guys
Bye!
