You did an excellent job with this video. I'm catching up on freshwater shrimp and appreciated all of the information you've shared here. Thanks so much and thumbs UP!
Great video. Amano shrimp are great. Good personalities too. I've got 5 now. But tomorrow we have 20 more being delivered to us. Quarantine time⏰. I really enjoy your tanks. Both the inhabitants and the aquascaping!
Oh thank you very much Jeff. That's very kind of you to say. Glad you like Amano shrimp too. I find them fascinating wee things and I spend a lot of time enjoying mine.
Wonderful, educational video on these beautiful shrimp. They aren’t colorful as others but imo they are just as enjoyable as other shrimp. Great video Daniel..... later...later...later...later 😊
Haha, thank you very much Robin. Yes I totally agree. They are super interesting. Plus their absence of colour helps their gorgeous markings to show and when they exhibit that greeny/blueish hue they are as beautiful as any other shrimp.
They are cute for sure! Fascinating little critters to observe as well and great for the aquarium echo-system. I have different kinds of shrimp in most of my tanks and enjoy them very much.
Daniel - I'm a fan of your channel. A quick question here on Amanos. I'm getting 4 of these guys tomorrow. I know you use Eihem pickup canister from your other videos. Do you usually cover them up? I'm conscious they might go inspecting in there. Have lost a few shrimps in my previous canister filter but it had a bigger opening. Wondering if you have experienced any shrimp losses or if you've it covered up? Thank you in advance!
Thanks so much for saying so Nimesh, feels real good to hear that. No I don't cover the Eheims. The odd cherry shrimp makes it's way in. I just tip them out again when I'm doing my maintenance but I've never had a problem with Amano disappearing in them myself. They tend to be strong enough to beat the water getting drawn in and too big for the gaps anyway. Enjoy your new Amano. They're real nice shrimp.
@@DanielKeepingFish Great to hear that. You're right, they were quite agile the moment I put them into the tank, vanished into their hiding spots in a jiffy. Your channel is different in the sense they are pretty insightful, with very diligent observations of fish behaviour but also, do not make major claims, unlike a lot of the folks ive come across in fish forums who sometimes confuse opinions for facts! ;-) Hope you'll keep posting more stuff!
Awesome little dudes I’ve had shrimp and things in the past but not for a while....Jack is very interested in different colored crayfish and we may be looking into a tank on my office rack for that after we finish his whole bedroom project....I used to have electric blue crayfish for a while and really enjoyed them....
I'd love to try Crayfish especially with some of the amazing colours some of them have. I just worry that they'll attack some of the smaller fish and have a go at my plants. Did they do that when you kept them?
Daniel Keeping Fish they certainly can and you have to watch what you put together like anything....some of them got pretty huge and I would toss in guppies and even goldfish and they would smash them....
Daniel Keeping Fish well you’ve got some awesome shrimp though and they look great....got that amazing blue from that astaxanthin rich algae really nice man we’re definitely gonna incorporate either shrimp or crayfish in one of these office tanks for sure
@@jackanddan true mate. I am very lucky being able to enjoy these wee guys. As ever I shall be watching out for your videos (especially the fish tank ones) so I'll look forward to seeing what you go for.
Another great video, mate. I started a 60 l temperate tank in July, that has now built up to 8 x Blue Danio, 8 x Amano shrimp and a trio of Zebra Nerites. When I introduced the shrimp, they were about 2-3 cm, but some of them (the females) are already almost twice the size. From pretty much the get-go, it seems there's always been at least one berried female in the tank, which in turn has prompted me to set up a shrimp only tank to try my hand with Neocaridina. Considering I got into the hobby with thoughts only of keeping fish, it came as a complete surprise just how quickly and completely shrimp have endeared themselves to me. * p.s. we chatted a few days ago about moss ledges and you said if I wanted, to give you a shout, how would we best get in touch?
Haha, that's how it gets you. Then you end up with multi tank syndrome and a TH-cam channel. I have been working on a tank just now set at 25 degrees with 60 Gold Whitecloud Mountain Minnow, Asian Rummienose, Gold Veijita Apistogramma, Black Cory Catfish (which are actually temperate fish), Ramshorn and Malaysian Trumpet Snails, Amanos and Cherry Shrimp. Swiftly becoming my favourite tank I've ever done. If you have Instagram you can message me on there: Daniel Keeping Fish. Is it to get some of those ledges? I can message the owner of the company to ask if they are still selling them and get the information of where to get them if you need.
@@DanielKeepingFish Cheers, i saw one earlier but lights are still off and time to slowly get the lights back to normal, ive not even seen one of them since i saw that other one yesterday, fingers crossed!
Oh thank you very much. Usually aim for a video every week/ten days but been hit with man-flu this week so haven't got much done. Normal service will resume shortly. 😣
Hey DKF, I was wondering if you could do another vid on your keyhole cichlids if you still had them Not too much information on them out there, and your older video was great but another one just showing them off would be pretty cool ;)
I'm sorry Alex I do not have them any more I'm afraid. Unfortunately I lost my fish room when a family member came to stay with us so I only have half the tanks I had previously and they were one of the species I had to give up. I really miss them though so I hope to be able to keep them again at some stage, they're really nice little Cichlids. I know of another channel: Lee and Mandy Battersby. They have Keyholes and might be willing to do a video about them. I'm really sorry I am unable to do it for you at this time but I'll message them and see if they would be able to come up with something so look out for their channel. I'll drop the link below. th-cam.com/channels/gsks9L7Aa72eReuSLOpu4Q.html
@@aosundragonkiller11 thank you bud. I still have my 6ft tank and all my smaller/nano tanks so still have plenty of projects and pleasure to keep me going and plenty more videos to make. I just lost a few of the bigger tanks but I'll be sneaking them back in over time hopefully. Anyway there you go; more Keyhole video to enjoy on the way care of Lee and Mandy Battersby. Plenty of other great tanks and fish (and more) to enjoy on that channel too (see the message above).
@@sailfinaquatics thanks man. Haha, gets addictive doesn't it? Eventually you end up working on projects without recording it and catch yourself saying "what did I do that for? Missed an opportunity there." 😂
Ive got a planted 29 gallon with a few tetras, 2 dwarf guoramis, a mystery snail, 4 or 5 ghost shrimp & a bamboo shrimp. I ordered a few amano shrimp because im told they've got a micro-organism living on them that bamboo shrimp eat. Anyone know anything about that?
I've never heard that one, would be dead interested to hear if there's anything in it. I know they release their lavae into the watercolumn that the Bamboo shrimp can catch and eat.
@@DanielKeepingFish im a greenhorn aquarist, but i agree with you. Your explanation was probably what the half forgotten video was saying. Nonetheless, ive got 5 amano shrimp headed my way. 😀 If possible, id prefer my cleanup crew to be invertebrates. Theyre unusual & fun to watch :)
Sorry mate. I've been really really busy past week or so and I've not been able to keep up with watching all the videos from the channels I follow for a change. Going to try to catch up.
I had a peacock gudgeon with my shrimp 🦐 & he slaughtered all of them. He didn’t bother to eat them, just wanted to kill them. Then he started attacking my Stiphodon so I returned him to the shop 🥺. I loved him but I had to do it.
Bad Peacock! They can be pretty merciless with shrimp right enough. I've kept them with a range of other fish and haven't seen any aggression but every fish has it's own personality right enough. That's a shame you had to return yours, such a nice fish but I hope you Stiphodon is okay.

Hello Daniel beautiful aquarium , amano shrimps so cute. Thank You for sharing my new friend:)
I totally agree! - amano shrims are for me unique and beautiful despite the lack of flashy color
I know right? Totally underrated and under appreciated.
Nice amano shrimp
TFS good info
They sure are bud. I think they're great wee shrimp. It's a shame some people pass them by because they're not as colourful as some other species.
New sub! I am a fellow fishtuber! I just added some amona shrimp to one of my community tanks! This is a super good video, thankyou!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍
I love amano shrimp haha they are just so cute with their little hands grabbing up nibbles of food

@@DanielKeepingFish they are so cute! i am getting a couple tomorrow i hope to help with my guppy tank :) they will have a 22 gallon to call home
@@boscoitalics you'll love them, bet you will. 👍
Very good video, bud! Just got mine today and your video is helpful and to the point. Great footage!
Thanks very much Mikko. Enjoy your new shrimp.
👍👍
Thanks NNJ. 👍
Awesome species profile video! lots of great info! had to re sub you as I wasn't getting any notifications and I have the bell hit.
Thanks bud.
Aye I had to do the same for some reason. Thought you'd been awfully quiet.
Great detailed info! Thanks
Thank you very much for saying so Rebecca. It's very encouraging to recieve a comment like that.
Happy New Year.
good info with these shrimp, they are really cool and good cleaners!
Thanks Jimmy.
Aye they're super good clean up crew members.
Keep up the great work! Seeing you work hard on your channel inspires me to work hard on mine!
Learning a lot from your channel 👍🏻
Good morning my friend🤗🤗
Hello Ani.
great video love shrimp
Me too.
Just feel like people pass these up sometimes for nicer coloured options but these guys are super beautiful and interesting too.
awesome video! i like my bamboo shrimp the most i think but love all the shrimp
You have a great looking tank they Daniel all the best for 2020 bud
Thank you Grandad.
Hope it's a belter for us all. 💙
Never kept Amanos before. Great video
Thank you mate.
They are really interesting wee shrimp. Useful too. I hope you get to experience them at some point, think you'd enjoy them.
Bro, from here in Texas. I love your accent I really enjoyed the video
Thank you very much bud.
It's very late here so but I'll definately be checking your content out tomorrow.
Hey I appreciate you man.. Thanks alot! Glad to meet you! Blessings friend..
Hi Danny... I don't know anything about shrimp so this was really helpful to me.
Haha I'm not surprised. I don't think they'd last long with your Cichlids. Or your Bettas 60% of the time.

Daniel, i have a Flex 57 that just have 2 large female platys in that i rescued, i just put 3 Amanos in there too, do you think they will be ok??
It's one of them I would want to guarantee 100% of the time it'll work out but yeah I've kept Amano with Platys. I think it'll be okay mate.
@@DanielKeepingFish Cheers, i saw one earlier but lights are still off and time to slowly get the lights back to normal, ive not even seen one of them since i saw that other one yesterday, fingers crossed!
I rather like their natural earthy colors
I agree. Think many species we keep in aquariums are stunning even if they lack bright colours.
We just got 1 amano and added her/him to our freshwater community aquarium.
Oh cool. I hope you come to enjoy them as much as I do. They're a really nice shrimp.
Ello lil boy blue!! ✌💞😻
