Knock off the bickering. I don't find the video's offensive. Different, yes, but offensive? You are free to state your opinion, but you are not free to carry on a personal tirade about it. If you feel that something is out of line, please use the "report post" feature; don't fan the flames.

sorry, but i laughed my a** off at some of it. i thought it was a neat story, maybe a bit much hitler but he was the evil bad guy and had to show his power over shrimpy. hahahahaha. i thought it was a great way to show your shrimp but like kissyboots said a little more tank would be cool and also maybe more of a rated G story line. I can handle the hard stuff but it's not for everyone. i might be the odd man out but i'd like to see more when you finish the next movie.
when i posted i mistakenly had not read everything but now that i do, i think you all turned into a fast growing lynch mob. Everyone ran donkey right into a corner. As for creativity I don't see anybody else making videos with stories or some catchy new interesting way to show the same ole tank filled with water, plants, fish or shrimp. It just wasn't done in a way which most of you would have liked, which i can understand. I say keep the ideas flowing. Maybe make a new thread for "tank movies" so everyone can post short movies. O'well just my opinion. I say "keep on rock'n in the free world".

Ok. I'm sorry. I guess that was the German in me being paranoid about anything to do with Hitler. :eek: I apologize. Although I have to honestly say I still don't like your movies...and with the Jesus thing...eh. :(
I agree, make another thread (in the lounge perhaps?) for this or have a mod move it. I don't think it belongs in this category. I think you should start a new thread here as well with pictures of your tank. Which, I think btw, is so awesome-looking! :)
Anyway, I apologize for anything that I said that was rude. I'm sorry.

Thanks for that Kissyboots. i know i do make my videos a bit different from most. but i get a little bored of making the same kind of videos of just showing shrimps swim around in a tank. so i started to add story's to them. when it was said that i would be bringing Jesus in and punching baby's i replied with have you been looking at my scrips. that was only said as a joke. the fact is jesus and baby's will never be in any of the videos i make.


The videos i make are more like the Monty Python kind of humor. please don't take offense at them its all very much Tongue-in-cheek. its a little like the film called the Producers or the Monty Pythons Life of Brian. some think them films are funny while others don't. i think to make something funny that 100% of people will like is impossible. some will like it some wont. all i can say is this. if you don't think my videos are funny then think of me making them. i am a fully grown man playing with plastic helicopters on the end of some cotton. now some might think that is funnier then the video. but if it makes people laugh then it cant be all bad.

Hey Kev,
Welcome to the forum!

Nice work on the vid---and nice tank too!
You've definitely got some cool shrimp in there---and a nice planted setup for them as well. Looks good. *thumbsups

I think that anyone who has taken any offense (or believes they have something to be offended about) needs to re-watch the videos in their entirety and actually read the captions on the screen.

I look forward to the continuation of this series...

And thank you, Avalon, for once again being the voice of reason. :cool:

Hi
This has been the easiest tank i have ever owned. the base has some Tropica Plant Substrate in it. and that is topped off with some play sand. once a week i add some Seachem Flourish. theres no C02 at all.if any algae does form then the Shrimps see that off in no time.lights are on for 10 hours a day and i only change about a bucket full of water once a week.
