Amano Plant Shrimp

Bring a hard-working and peaceful cleanup crew to your aquarium with the Amano Plant Shrimp ML. This captivating freshwater shrimp is a true workhorse, renowned as one of the best algae eaters in the hobby. Its body is a beautiful, semi-transparent gray, often with a unique pattern of dots or a faint stripe running down its back. The "ML" size indicates a larger, more mature shrimp that is ready to get to work immediately, making it a powerful and efficient addition to your tank.

The Amano Plant Shrimp is an incredibly peaceful and shy invertebrate. It is a tireless scavenger that spends its day cleaning algae, biofilm, and detritus from all surfaces in your aquarium, including plants, driftwood, and rocks. Its calm nature makes it an excellent tank mate for a wide variety of peaceful community fish and other shrimp. Unlike other shrimp, the Amano will not breed in freshwater, so you never have to worry about a population explosion.
