Amano Shrimp
About This Species
Amano Shrimp
Amano Shrimp Care
Amano Shrimp or their scientific name Caridina multidentata, are very hardy and are great algae eaters. They are perfect beginner freshwater shrimp. These Amano Shrimp are sold at roughly 3/4" in length and can grow up to 2". They are shrimp ninjas and are known to crawl out of the water, so make sure there is the lid on your tank!
Amano Shrimp can also be kept with other colored shrimp like Cherry Shrimp and other Neocaridina varieties. They are very peaceful invertebrates and won't bother other shrimp and can survive in a large range of water conditions.
Amano Shrimp Lifespan
Amano Shrimp lifespan is around 2 to 3 years but lifespan will vary depending on the tank conditions, specifically temperature. Most invertebrates will grow quicker in higher temperatures (above 80F-84F) but their lifespan might be shortened slightly due to the faster metabolism caused by the higher temperature.
Amano Shrimp Breeding
A question we get a lot is regarding Amano Shrimp Breeding. Amano Shrimp are difficult to breed in captivity. Their eggs and larvae require brackish water to survive and flourish. Some breeders have found some success but with very low survival rates.
Purchase Size
Regular Size Amano: 0.5" to 1"
Large Size Amano: 1" to 1.5"
Recommended Tank Water Parameters
PH: 6.5-7.5
KH: 0-10
Temperature: 64 - 84F
I'm very happy with my order my shrimp arrived healthy and have adapted to their new planet tank arrangements.
Wow, I super excited to see this Skittle pack along with Amano shrimp. Just beautiful healthy shrimp along with fantastic customer service. Could not be happier. FYI, if your a lil shy about buying online, no need with this business....will always buy here !!
Shrimp arrived enthusiastic as ever for their new home! They were HUGE upon arrival! They do not skimp on the shrimp!
All 10 (+1) arrived in fine shape. I drip acclimated them for 3 hours and then released them into my tanks. They are doing beautifully and are hard at work. Will do business again. The whole order was well packed and shipped quickly.
All the shrimp arrived in great health, packed very nicely in a CO2 releasing bag inside of some insulation. I received an extra one that seems a bit small like he’s a runt or something but he’ll have no problem in my tank. Overall couldn’t ask for a much easier purchase, 3 days from ordering to alive at my door!
I ordered five but got six maybe because some were tiny. They all came alive and I drip acclimated them for a couple hours. They’re doing pretty good and it’s been a couple weeks already :)
All my shrimp came alive. I did only count 8 shrimp but, I could've counted wrong cuz they came smaller than I expected. The shipping was quick and so far everyone is still alive after 6 hours in the tank
I was a little nervous to order shrimp online because I’ve never ordered live animals in the mail before, but are all doing great! All 5 arrived alive and active. I drip acclimated them for about 2 hours after letting them temperature acclimate in a separate container. They were a little shy for the first few days, but they have since gotten bolder and happily munch away all day. I love them!
Shrimpy Business means business! They gracefully agreed to delay my shipment on my request due to bad weather; and when shipped, the shrimp arrived in less than 48hrs. They even sent an extra shrimp! This is the first time ALL amano shrimp I’ve gotten have survived without any casualties. Will definitely be buying more!
I ordered 20 Amano shrimp and they all arrived alive and healthy. They have grown HUGE over the last couple months. Love them!
Wowza! The quality they offer is A++ the 1st purchase was black rose shrimp and they are the healthiest shrimp I’ve had. The amano though, I purchased 20, I believe I received an extra 4, were healthy and beautiful. I just ordered another 20 orange shrimp and some treats for the shrimps. I will keep purchasing from here and so should you! Thanks Shrimpybusiness!
My squad of shrimp arrived really fast and in an insulated box. They even had little screens to give them something to hold onto during their journey, which I find really thoughtful. Do remember to follow the acclimation instructions to the letter, and don't add anything to their water during drip acclimation to balance it (other than a tiny drop of ammonia remover). They won't be able to handle any sudden changes. I learned that the hard way.... I will definitely buy shrimp from here again.
Arrived alive and very well packaged
Shrimp arrived well and active
Other than having 2 dead ones in the shipment, they are doing great. I have placed another order.
Very small shrimp 🦐
They all came in very healthy.
But again, when I added them to the tank they disappeared.
My amano shrimp arrived in great condition and started cleaning up right away. Fast forward one week when I noticed two of them were MIA. I found them outside the lidded tank. The only opening are for cords and a hinged feeding opening. Those ninjas did escape! 😢
Love the cleanup crew you just can't go wrong. SB is the best at their products.
Happy healthy and wonderful
Best alge eaters
Cute and hard working
Shrimp were healthy and arrived fast
Arrived healthy and ready to clean the tank!
Nice, healthy good sized shrimp. I would buy them again.
Gave us an extra, shrimp started cleaning as soon as they got in the tank
They are cute and small. They are all doing well.
Arrived quickly. Shrimp were in good health and are doing well.
Arrived alive and healthy. But...I think my beta ate them. Or maybe they are hiding. I still have one lone surviving cherry shrimp, his name is Joe. Hes a trooper.
This betta!!!
Ordered 5 and received 6! They all look great and were immediately darting to moss and off to work!
