Amano Shrimp Care & Info | Champion Algae Eater - The Shrimp Farm

SF Aquatic Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentate), also known as Yamato Shrimp, are one of the most popular and hardy freshwater aquarium species. They grow about twice as large as dwarf shrimp, attaining a maximum size of over two inches, and they typically live a much longer lifespan! They are native to Southeast Asia, including Japan, Taiwan, and Fiji. Their bodies are clear with an aqua blue tint, and are covered in small, dark red dots. Unlike most dwarf shrimp species, Amano Shrimp will only reproduce in brackish water, so they will almost certainly never breed in a home aquarium. These active yet peaceful aquarium pets are possibly the most voracious aquarium clearers you will find! A colony of them will often eradicate even the most persistent growth on plants and decor, sometimes even clearing aquarium glass. The bulk of their diet is biofilm and decaying plant matter, so they will work hard to clear up any aquarium. In a less mature aquarium, they can be fed high quality flake and mini pellet dry foods with high spirulina/plant content. Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata) are freshwater pet shrimp. Their diet can be supplemented with shrimp food, fish food, flakes, wafers, spirulina, etc. Amano shrimp are widely known as the single best clearing shrimp in the world, and are great at keeping aquarium plants free from biofilm. The Amano shrimp we send range from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches in length. Extreme temperatures, delays in transit, and handling procedures can sometimes affect the health of live items during shipping.
