Looks fine to me. The stripe and spots become more visible as it gets acclimated
It’s definitely an Amano. They move around like they’re on crack it’s hilarious to watch. They’ll fight over food with each other and even grab food from fish
Yes. It is an Amano shrimp
its mad af at that moss whatever it is
There are three species if I recall that we colloquially know as amano shrimp.
I’ve seen some with red spots, blue spots and completely brown. All from the same store and all in the same tank (At home).
Kind of like ghost shrimp is a cloud term for a handful of American brackish shrimp.
thats a neon tetra
Looks amano-y to me.
Some in a FB group i have joined told me its australian amano. I’ve search and some of the pics online is similar to this i’ve got.
Sometimes they just get huge. I had a colossal 2.5 inch Amano shrimp that soloed the entire tank for multiple years.
Yep
Yes sir.
Yep
Looks just like my Amano.
Yessir
Looks like Caridina Typus or Australian Amano.
Ah Amanos how I love you so…if only you weren’t 12 a pop at my lfs 🙁
Yes
Really truly Amano shrimp. This guy doesn’t lie
How do I look, yellow man?
What moss is that?
The stripe makes it look like a wild neo at first but the spots are a dead giveaway that its an amano
Indeed an Amano shrimp
Yep. looks like an amano and is acting like an amano
Only other thing i would guess would be a wisker shrimp…
Mine steal the bottom wafers and fight the snails for it, it’s hilarious.
It’s a lobster in a bad amano costume
This is an imposter
No it is not for me.
And I’ve the same problem with my LFS, last bunch of amanos they received are not true amano.
They really look like but they are not the Real Caredina multidentata/ japonica
