I just purchased 6 with no idea which one I have. 😢I want to set up a 5 gallon amano only tank (maybe some ramshorn snails allowed) I’m using seeded sponge filters, Plants from my tanks and I mopani wood I’ve had in other aquariums for a year and a half.i want to place tank by window to promote algae growth/green water. And eventually I want to breed my Amano colony, mostly because I’ve been told I can’t. Wish me luck 🍀 Great video! ❤🦐🌱🐡
My Amano shrimp love Indian almond and Catappa leaves, Alder and Casuarina cones, Mopani and Cholla wood, Java moss, Marimo moss ball, etc. They also frequently munch on their Wonder Shell. I love watching them. I drip acclimated mine just to be safe. My betta harassed them at first but got accustomed to them quickly. Now that the shrimp have grown larger, my betta leaves them alone. I’m so glad I got them. They are entertaining, peaceful, hardy, long living, don’t reproduce, and are potentially compatible with bettas due to temperament, larger size, and minimal coloring.
Thanks Andy...excellent video...I recently bought 4 Australian Amano shrimp and I really love them...I would love to breed them...I have many neocaridina shrimp , corys , guppies and Endlers.. but these Amanos are awesome
Thanks and I do hope you try breeding them. It's one of those things that may start off hard but once you figure it out, it's possible. The Snow Amanos that I purchased were locally bred.
I accidentally left a giant tape worm in my shrimp tank and now I can find it how do I rid the fish of tape worms without hurting my shrimps. Please help
Check this video out as this is what I feed my shrimp: ua-cam.com/video/gUZJaaKP_ds/v-deo.htmlsi=XIztExdhc9q4nGbw As for tank mates, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/Zk_KOBq9qT8/v-deo.htmlsi=I9uISliaZKeaWwpa
They won't really prey on Red Cherry Shrimp unless the shrimp is already dying or dead. As long as they're fed and not left to fend for themselves, the Amanos should leave the Red Cherries alone. I currently have 5 in a 20 gallon long with other Red Cherry Shrimp and they get along just fine. Here is a video on the two species that I created a while back: ua-cam.com/video/FitXtRVIutA/v-deo.htmlsi=sfP9HQregpQDqJ-F
You can but it also depends on the temperament of your Betta. If it starts to bully or attack your Amanos, you may find them hiding all the time or they may even try to climb out of the tank.
I've never personally tried to grow anything fast but from what I've read, frequent water changes, good nutrition and a higher temperature (based on what is safe for Bettas) to speed up metabolism. I suggest doing some research on this matter to ensure you don't affect your fish in a negative manner.
Amano and bettas like same water parameters and water minerals/ hardness? I want to add Amano’s to my old, slow, gentle betta Floyd’s tank but I worry that the betta minerals I add will not be good for shrimp and the shrimp minerals will be overkill? (I use crystalpro shrimp minerals in tanks with my ghost shrimp and my betta uses crystalpro betta minerals in his tank. )
Amanos and Bettas do share the same water parameters. I've never used those mineral products before but if the water parameters are the same for both tanks, you shouldn't have an issue. The only thing you have to watch out for is if your Betta will bully or be aggressive towards them. I recently created a video on keeping shrimp with Bettas which you can feel free to check out: ua-cam.com/video/m22V9TpV4Zs/v-deo.htmlsi=p_4E35Pt_Fpv-OSi
Thank you :) Pretty much most of the information in this video can pertain to Cherry Shrimp but why not check out the video on Cherry Shrimp as it also covers the different grades: ua-cam.com/video/PCAbvq98FHo/v-deo.htmlsi=DDyhWdS3b1cUdw8x
Of the 4 Amanos that I mentioned (Japanese, Orange, Snow or Australian) which ones would you love to have in your aquarium?
They're all beautiful. I would want the ones that would stay *_in_* my aquarium.

Great video! ❤🦐🌱🐡
@@ana-bananainca790 Thank you and best of luck. Let me know how your breeding goes.
idk but mine i think is over ten years old.
I have white and Japanese :p but my local fish shop has orange ones now! I may pick up a few for the tank :P

Whoa! What is that floating plant in your tank that happily sustains such unceremonial water flow?
Red Root Floaters
I've have 2 and they are over 2 years old now
Very nice video on this amazing specie
Thank you :)
Great video
Thanks!
Snow Amano
I accidentally left a giant tape worm in my shrimp tank and now I can find it how do I rid the fish of tape worms without hurting my shrimps. Please help
Fritz Paracleanse can be used to treat tapeworms. It has proven to be safe for even scaleless fish, snails, shrimp, fish fry, and plants.
i need keep shrimp aquariums please suggest which food is good ...and teamats
Check this video out as this is what I feed my shrimp: ua-cam.com/video/gUZJaaKP_ds/v-deo.htmlsi=XIztExdhc9q4nGbw

Will amano shrimp prey upon cherry shrimp and if so is there a way you can prevent such from happening?
They won't really prey on Red Cherry Shrimp unless the shrimp is already dying or dead. As long as they're fed and not left to fend for themselves, the Amanos should leave the Red Cherries alone. I currently have 5 in a 20 gallon long with other Red Cherry Shrimp and they get along just fine.

Is it possible to just add 3 pcs in a 5 gal tank? Or do i need a school of them ?
You can add 3 to your tank as they do not need to be kept in groups.
Hi! Can I ask if I can put amano shrimp and betta in one tank?
You can but it also depends on the temperament of your Betta. If it starts to bully or attack your Amanos, you may find them hiding all the time or they may even try to climb out of the tank.
Hi man How do i grow my female betta fast after 6 months i am trying to breed her with my male but my male is to big?
I've never personally tried to grow anything fast but from what I've read, frequent water changes, good nutrition and a higher temperature (based on what is safe for Bettas) to speed up metabolism.
