A little clip from a few weeks back when I readded my cherry shrimp and amano shrimp back to my community tank.
With it being a new aquascape, I supplemented their diet with algae wafers for a few weeks until the algae and biofilm had built back up for them to naturally feed in the tank.
The cherry shrimp quickly started to have new babies too so it looks like the breeding colony has settled in and got back to work.
The Amano Shrimp The Amano Shrimps were bought into fame by the Legendary aquarist “Takashi Amano”. Amano shrimps are famous for controlling algae and keeping the aquarium debris free. The Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata) is known under a variety of names like Caridina Japonica , Japonica Shrimp , Algae Eating Shrimp and Yamato shrimp. Interestingly, because they are incredibly hard to breed, the majority available to buy are actually wild Shrimp. They are a hardy shrimp that makes it ideal for beginners looking to experiment with invertebrates for the first time. #amano #amanoshrimp (at The Gardens, Dubai) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNbAx4LBsr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Some of my shrimpies. Feeding frenzy at the food dish, a teeny tiny baby, and others in the middle space. #nanoshrimptank #nanoshrimp #cherryshrimp #amanoshrimp #plantedaquarium #babyshrimp https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ce114JRVQ/?igshid=5zhx95yywog8

Let me introduce you to some of the kids! They are freshwater Amano/Japonica Shrimps. I’ve read that the smaller ones are wild type, while the ones that get pretty big were bred in captivity. They’re pretty hardy and not very sensitive to my new no-tech walstad tank, and Petco has them mislabeled to be 10 times cheaper than they’re sold in the market so that’s cool 😂 🦐 🦐 🦐 #plantedtank #shrimptank #theplanttherapist #amanoshrimp (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJI3PPHQAv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rvc6lyzbp9ix
Nothing more striking as capture the setting sun behind our planted aquarium…that is until an Amano shrimp (Carolina multidentata) climbs on top of a plant to watch the sunset too! . . . @tetra.fish @amazonasmagazine @tfhmag @aquadesignamano . . . #aquarium #sunset #amanoshrimp #natureaquarium #plantedtank #plantedaquarium #dutchaquascape https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2sFN5lx0k/?utm_medium=tumblr
