Species Spotlight
Why We Love This Shrimp
01
The Gold Standard for Algae Control
Amano shrimp are larger, bolder, and more effective algae grazers than almost any other freshwater invertebrate. They tackle hair algae and biofilm that smaller shrimp simply won’t touch.
02
Natural and Nearly Invisible
Translucent with subtle lateral markings — Amano shrimp blend into planted tanks naturally. You notice the clean glass and healthy plants before you notice the shrimp.
03
Hardy Enough for Community Tanks
Amano shrimp handle a wider parameter range than most shrimp and hold their own in community aquariums. Larger and more confident than Neocaridina — less likely to hide all day.
Community Tank
Compatible Tank Mates
These species coexist peacefully with shrimp. Research before mixing — not every fish is safe.

Common Questions
Amano Shrimp FAQ
How many Amano Shrimp should I keep?+
Keep at least 4–6 for more natural activity and confidence.
Do Amano Shrimp need supplemental food?+
Yes. Even good algae grazers should receive direct supplemental feeding.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes. Every order is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph any DOA in the sealed bag on delivery day and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page.
Will Amano Shrimp breed in freshwater?+
Adults live in freshwater, but the larval stage requires brackish or marine conditions to develop successfully.
How are Amano Shrimp shipped?+
Shrimp ship Monday through Wednesday in insulated packaging with weather-appropriate protection and typically arrive within the selected delivery window.
Live plants give shrimp constant grazing surfaces, sheltered hiding spots for shrimplets, and promote the natural biofilm growth shrimp feed on. Every plant is shrimp-safe and ships safely alongside livestock.
Adding plants is a great way to reach free 2-Day Shipping at $120+ while building a healthier tank.
