When fry are born, they are carried out to sea from the freshwater habitats of the parents. The fry exist in a pelagic\/planktonic state in brackish or fully marine water. As they mature, they return to freshwater and continue this cycle with future generations. This process was once thought to be impossible (or at least impractical at a commercial level) to replicate for captive\/tank breeding, but a very few breeders have recently been successful in rearing this species!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Amano Shrimp, like most shrimp, lives in large colonies and spends most of its time foraging for food.  It is possibly the most voracious eater of algae in the aquarium and is not only a very active, outgoing species, but it is also very useful as a solution to fighting algae issues.  It aggressively feeds on most varieties of biofilm and algae and, in appropriate numbers, will often eradicate even the most persistent algae growth on plants and other aquarium decorations.  It is also very effective in eating decaying plant matter, such as shed leaves and needles of aquarium plants.  However, it does not bother or damage live ornamental plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis shrimp is a scavenger and is very useful in planted and nano aquariums.  The bulk of its diet is biofilm, algae, and decaying plant matter so it will work diligently to clean up the waste in any aquarium.  It feeds constantly, so it displays constant activity.  In a less mature aquarium, it should be fed high quality flake and mini pellet dry foods with high algae\/spirulina\/plant content.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat We Like About This Shrimp:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmong the most durable freshwater shrimp species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely peaceful disposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe with all ornamental plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent scavenger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-lived among shrimp species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum tank size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2 gallons, recommended 10 gallon minimum for a colony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 64° - 80° F (17.8° - 26.6° C), the middle of this range is ideal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.5 - 7.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edGH\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 - 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edKH\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- 7 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTDS\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e100 - 400 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE GUIDELINES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e: Scavenger that feeds continually.  Requires very little feeding in a well-established aquarium containing algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter.
