Basically just wondering if they can hatch in freshwater?

If not is there any way i can collect the eggs and get them to hatch out?

The reason i ask is that i have read in a few places that people have had difficulty in breeding Amano's and that it is thought that the eggs need brackish or marine water to hatch.
 
Sounds like ill just have to wait and see what comes of it then!
Cheers mate
 
Hey, check my tank specs below for three decent Amano shrimp pics.

Can you get a pic of the eggs being carried on the shrimp?
 
Great pics! Are they your shots or are they pulled off the web?

Your Amano looks slightly different from mine. Is it possible that mine aren't Amanos?
 
Nice pics..
The first one should be in the "Species Profiles" for Shrimp....

I just looked and saw Nothing on shrimp.

They are mine. And I have lots more :)

I heard that there are several similar species sold as Amano shrimp. Maybe mine aren't Amanos. But they do eat algae and pretty much everything else :)
 
I have read that Amano himself prized the shrimp named after him because of their algae eating tendancies.

I would like to get better at identifiying Amanos 'cause I am going to purchase a few more soon and don't really want to get shrimp that are just 'labelled' Amano's.

BTW, how long do you expect the eggs to hatch?
