Hello, so once upon a time I wandered into Petco and found an Amano sheimp (apparently it came in with ghost shrimp) and he(she?) has become my favorite out of all things aquatic.

I'm not exactly sure if it's a boy or girl I heard you can tell by markings on back, but I wondered if someone with experience could tell me.

I'm really bummed out too because every store I've gone to only has ghosts and says they won't order any Amanos, so if anybody orders and has recommendations please let me know. I've never ordered livestock and am kind of worried about it, but I really would like another one.

I'm pretty sure that is a male. Males have dots on the bottom row, while females have dashes.
