Description:These are popular among the shrimp hobby and are great for people getting into the hobby. A general rule of thumb of keeping shrimps is 10 shrimps per gallon. Amano Shrimp are non-aggressive and spend most of their time eating algae and biofilm off plants, glass, and substrate. They make excellent clean up crews for aquascape tanks. Amano Shrimp were introduced to the aquatics trade during the 1980's by planted aquaria guru Takashi Amano, when he noticed this species excellent algae eating capabilities. Must be kept in groups as Amano Shrimp live in large social colonies in the wild. Will stay hidden a lot of the time and will enjoy browsing on various types of algae (including hair algae) that have formed on plants and décor. Do not keep with any large or aggressive fish species as they will become an expensive meal. As with all shrimp species, acclimation must be carried out slowly and carefully. If ever you need to medicate an aquarium containing Amano Shrimp, please check with the manufacturer that the intended medication is safe with shrimp, as not all are. Amano Shrimps will molt regularly whilst growing, and the sudden appearance of perfectly formed shrimp casings on the floor of the aquarium can cause alarm to fishkeepers who have not seen this before. Once the shrimp has moulted, it will remain hidden for a time until the new shell hardens and it has a bit more protection. Often also seen on sale as Amano Plant Shrimp or Japonica Shrimp. Scientific/Common Name: Caridina Multidentata, Caridina Japonica, Amano Shrimp, Yamato ShrimpAmano Shrimp BreedingA question we get a lot is regarding Amano Shrimp Breeding. Amano Shrimp are difficult to breed in captivity. Their eggs and larvae require brackish water to survive and flourish. Some breeders have found some success but with very low survival rates. Check out our store for high quality food for your shrimps:https://www.ebay.com/str/jungleaquashrimp How to prepare and acclimate your shrimps What you need:- A small clean container. I normally use a breeding box that can be hang on the side of the aquarium.- Drip Acclimation kit, including airtube and air control valve- Tube Holder, something to hold the tube in the aquariumWhat to do when you receive the box of your shrimps order:1/ First open the box, check for DOA (Death on Arrival) inside the bag. Then cut off the bag and release the shrimps with water into the container.2/ If there's no DOA, skip to step 3. - If there's any DOA, remove the deaths and add enough water conditioner/dechlorinator (maybe 1-2 drops) into the container. This will help remove any toxic and ammonia cause by the dead animals.The water conditioner that I use is either Seachem Prime or Brightwell Aquaitc ShrimpPrep.3/ Temperature: leave the shrimp in the container for 30-60 minutes so the water can reach room temperature. This might take longer in case it is too cold or too hot in your area. DO NOT FLOAT breather bags in your aquarium, it will kill the shrimps. - If you have temperature tester, you can use it to test temperature in your aquarium and the container to make sure it get similar.4/ Drip Acclimation: this is very important. This is to ensure the shrimps will get used to with the water parameter in their new home. Using the Drip Acclimation kit and set it at 1 drop per 2-3 seconds (from the aquarium into the container) for about 30 minutes, then set the kit at 1 drop per second for another 30 minutes.5/ Finish: net out the shrimps into their new home. Do not add the water back into the aquarium.Enjoy watching the shrimps and relax!
