      That sucks. My dad always had a tank and then I got my own 10 gallon for my room with his and my mom's approval. I now as an adult with my own kids have 6 freshwater planted tanks with community fish and red cherry shrimp as well as pink and brown ramshorns snails running today, a walstad jar, a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, a crayfish tank, and 4 cats. We love animals over here. My youngest who just turned 8 on the 22nd just started her own 5 gallon. She has guppies, killi fish, pink ramshorns snails, and red cherry shrimp as well as plants and Manzanita wood. She has this idea of using her marimo balls on the tips of the tree branches to makes it more life like.

    Great information! We have a small tank with Black Beard Algae, 9 Amano shrimps, 2 Siamese Algae Eaters and a few other fish. By far, yours has been the best video I’ve found on dealing with algae! Subbed!

  • @thefishylife6823
    @thefishylife6823 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Very cool! I like that you drip acclimated but you can hit those amanos upside the head with a brick and not kill them, super hardy and tough shrimp! And they get big too! Amazing tank✌️

  • @pondguru
    @pondguru 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    The SAE are great for algae and as long as you've got fish in which don't eat the shrimp then the Amano shrimp are a great solution too.
    Florida flag fish are a great one for algae too but they can be nippy little buggers so they're no good with small fish and shrimps.
    Groovy.

  • @fernandocarvallo9135
    @fernandocarvallo9135 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Fun fact: The type of diadromous (part freshwater, part marine) life cycle that amano shrimp and some other freshwater shrimp (e.g. Macrobrachium spp.) have is called "Amphidromy" which specifically describes the need for the larval form to develop at first in saltwater then move to freshwater to complete its life cycle.

    That's a sweet tank! I just added amanos to my glowlight tetra tank. They're like Homer Simpson at an all you can eat buffet, but with way more arms. I'm sad to hear they won't breed though. I thought that was ghost shrimp. Oh well, at least they live for a couple years if they're healthy, unlike the ghost shrimp.
