Okay so I got three of these today I have never seen such crazy shrimp they're just sprinting, jumping and swimming round the tank like they are possessed!

Amano Shrimp (Caridina japonica)

That's it cheers will they eat eggs???

 

[cgthebeast]

I don't think so

They'll settle in and eat algae like nice little shrimp. Just make sure you keep your water clean--don't let your nitrates get too high, and don't overdue it with plant fertilizers. I love mine. They won't breed in your tank either.

my nitrates nitrites and ammonia stay on a big fat zero with no water changes the tank is self sustaining. How come they won't breed??? Do they need brackish???
