pcc Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hi, About 4 months ago I added 6 Amano shrimp to one of my community tanks. I still see the Amano once in a while but today when I was changing water and doing a bit of cleaning I discovered the guy in the attached pictures. He does not look like the Amano that I see now and then and he is much bigger than the Amano. What is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Might be an Australian strain of amano type of shrimp.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caridina_typus Quote As compared to a typical Amano Shrimps, the Australian Amano has fewer markings and is smaller in body size approximately 2 to 3 centimeters and sometimes it can grow for up to 5 centimeters.
