The Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata), often affectionately called the Yamato shrimp, stands as a staple in the aquarium hobby for its exceptional algae-eating capabilities and distinctive appearance. These freshwater crustaceans boast a semi-transparent body adorned with intricate patterns, featuring a row of tiny red dots along their sides. Their larger size compared to many other freshwater shrimp species makes them prominent and efficient cleaners in aquariums, diligently consuming various types of algae and maintaining tank cleanliness. Amano shrimp are known for their peaceful nature and fascinating behavior, often observed grazing on surfaces and engaging in communal activities, making them not only a practical addition to an aquarium but also an intriguing and valuable part of the aquatic community.

    Ordered 5 received 5+1. All of them arrived safely and alive. Good size amano shrimp. They were all very active as soon as they were acclimated and released in my aquarium.

    I picked up my order from the post office today and I couldn’t be happier. In spite of it being held at the post office an extra day I only had one loss (an Amano shrimp) but also two of my other bags (the cherry and the culls) contained a bonus tiny baby shrimp! So I actually got more than I paid for. ALL the shrimp were very active in the bag and are now happily swimming around in my tank! Thank you so much
