Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata)

Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata) are one of the most popular and reliable algae-eating shrimp in the aquarium hobby. Known for their constant activity and effectiveness, they are a staple in planted tanks and community aquariums. These shrimp have a translucent body with subtle brown or greenish tones, allowing them to blend naturally into planted environments. They are peaceful, hardy, and adapt well to a wide range of water conditions, making them a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Amano shrimp are excellent cleaners, actively grazing on algae, biofilm, and leftover food to help maintain a balanced and healthy tank. They do well alongside other non-aggressive tank mates and are especially effective in planted setups where algae control is important. While they may breed in captivity, their larvae require brackish water to survive, so they typically will not reproduce in freshwater aquariums. They also will not interbreed with other shrimp species, making them a safe addition to mixed shrimp tanks. All shrimp are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
