The shrimp are named for him. He actually brought them into the industry. You can read about it in Nature Aquarium World book one which I believe is his first book.

amano shrimps in japanese is YAMATO NUMAEBI meaning japanese shrimp. hehe
its called amano shrimp only in english speaking countries, i believe.
Amano also started using riccia as ground cover, even tho its a floating plant.. hard to maintain tho

I believe I read somewhere that Takashi Amano had to redo that really big tank. I think the layout was destroyed in an earthquake but the tank remained fine. I haven't seen a picture of the new layout though.

I have no photo, but a few years ago, I set up a tank for a fellow that looked like (just imagine):

500 gallon tank, black gravel, black background, black stand and canopy.

A few light green plants, and a few pieces of black glass slag as decorations.

400 cardinal tetras, 150 albino Corydoras cats.

The tank was stunning, particularly when the room lights were down.
