Amano shrimp

[Dusty280]

I am thinking of getting some Amano shrimp for an established 30 gallon planted that currently only houses neon tetras. This is my first time with shrimp. Any helpful advice?

They should do fine. I have found then fun to watch and very hardy.

I really like amanos for a planted tank. They are excellent algae scavengers and are fun to watch. They will fit in well with your neon tetras.

I have some in my 10 gallon, and when they come out from their wentii, they are lots of fun to watch. They share the tank with some neone tetras, a betta, and 2 ottos.
Have quite a bit of algae everywhere in the tank right now(still sorting that one out), everywhere except their wendtii, which they do a good job keeping clean.

stay far away from copper.

Forgot to mention that one. Also, be careful with medications, some of them have copper in them as well.
