Description

Amano shrimp, are a peaceful community shrimp. They are a bit larger than the Cherry or Crystal shrimps and have more subtle colouration.

They prefer a well planted tank to thrive, and are amazing algae eaters, so are always popular in aquascaped tanks. They will be more active and confident went kept in a group of five or more.

Amano shrimp grow to around 5cm, up to twice as big as some other community shrimp.

They prefer a temperature range of 22−28°C and a pH range of 6.0-7.5.

Can be housed with smaller shrimp as well as neons, rasboras and corys. Do not breed in freshwater aquariums so can be housed with smaller shrimp without the concern of interbreeding.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
