Amano Shrimps




Than I added Yamoto or Amano Shrimps into my tank to help clean up algae and other left over foods deposited at the base of my tank....Unfortunately the Amano was attacked by unfriendly wild betta and resulted in one casualty before I decided to give away my imbellis to protect my shrimp's safety.....
The many things I like about Amano are their nice bluish tinted body color which is difficult to find among many dwarf shrimp varieties (which will be added to my community tank later). Sometime it changes to slightly darkbrown and red color while occassionally appears a little greenish too. Generally speaking, it is a very hardy shrimp when kept at a difficult water temperature between 29 - 30C. They molted quite regularly after busy cleaning themselves and also helping to brush others! That goes to show they are very friendly and supportive among their own kind.
