The Amano Shrimp is a popular freshwater shrimp renowned for its algae-eating prowess and elegant, translucent appearance. With its delicate body and faint light-brown markings, it adds sophistication to any aquarium while helping to maintain a clean, balanced environment. Native to Japan and Southeast Asia, Amano Shrimp are particularly valued for their ability to control algae growth, making them a great choice for tanks with live plants or those prone to algae. Growing up to 2 inches, they thrive in well-planted aquariums with stable water conditions. Peaceful and social, Amano Shrimp do well in community tanks, peacefully coexisting with fish, snails, and other invertebrates. Though they primarily feed on algae, they also enjoy high-quality shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables, and other organic matter. Ideal for aquarists of any skill level, the Amano Shrimp adds beauty, efficiency, and a vital role in maintaining a healthy aquarium ecosystem.
