Amano Shrimp

All I know is that Amano shrimps have larva that best thrive when kept in brackish and marine conditions.
I want to stress that this shrimp can only be propagated if its larvae are transferred into saltwater/brackish water and back into freshwater when the larvae develop into postlarvae (i.e. mini-shrimp).. There are some dubious reports on the internet (one with a picture of an amphipod/scud claiming to be a "baby amano") purporting the "breeding" of this shrimp in total freshwater, but these "reports" are not to be trusted.

I wouldn't say the internet is misleading on their breeding, I've only seen one report of someone claiming to have bred amanos in freshwater, which actually turned out to be scuds.
MTS and Nerites. At 1.010, you can begin looking into marine invertebrates rather than freshwater.
How long have they been at that level? I doubt they'd do well long-term.
I don't understand the point of keeping amanos at high-end brackish though.
