Amano Shrimp

Size, aquarium and water

Adults are about 4–5 cm. Use a mature planted aquarium with grazing surfaces, protected intakes and a close-fitting lid. A 40-litre aquarium gives a useful starting volume; stock to available food and filtration. Reference water: 18–28°C, pH 6–8, with minerals for moulting. A group is optional.

Food and compatibility

Offer appropriate shrimp foods alongside naturally available biofilm and algae. Avoid predatory fish and protect filter intakes. Do not expect shrimp to replace aquarium maintenance.

Breeding origin

Amano larvae have a specialised saline-water stage. This page does not claim that the offered animals are locally captive-bred. Ask for supplier origin and current holding conditions before ordering.

Before ordering

Confirm current sale size, sex or grade if relevant, and the supplied portion for plants. Photos and illustrations do not establish the size or appearance of the animals or plants currently available. Breeding origin and supplier quarantine records have not been verified for this batch.

Arrival and support

Prepare a mature aquarium and check its temperature and water chemistry before arrival. Ask us for transfer guidance suited to your water and transit conditions; do not apply a fixed acclimation time to every shipment. Keep shipping water out of the aquarium.

Read the shipping and DOA policy before opening shipping bags. Physical returns are not accepted; eligible DOA claims are handled separately. Contact hello@nanoaquatics.in for confirmation.
