Inverte Ponics Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I have amanos and my ph is over 7... like 7.4 or more. They do well in that water. Some of my amanos get reddish tones, some do not. I'm working with someone on plantedtank forums for working out how to raise up the babies. I've had 3 failed clutches so far. Join us and we can all learn more together. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/88-shrimp-other-invertebrates/1053841-amano-pregnant-5.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverte Ponics Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Interesting. I have some Indian whisker shrimp that look similar, to this last set of photos. The first set of photos definitely look like different shrimps to me - the amanos, because of that stripe down the back, curved tail instead of humped and short rostrum. Anyways, maybe someone else can help you with this. Best of luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minereaper Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 They are surely indian whisker shrimps , amano arent in Our freshwater i just went to local libarary and found a document about them , @Inverte Ponics Nice that you have them , do thry have same kind of eggs ?

Inverte Ponics Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 No, the Indian whisker shrimp eggs are bright green on mine. They have not had any eggs since receiving them. Two clutches were released, but the adults ate them all. If I get any more clutches, and larvae, I will probably sieve out the larvae and try rearing them on golden pearls and brine shrimp in a separate container. I have been feeding the whisker shrimp hikari crab cuisine, algae tablets and they really enjoyed the brine shrimp along with their own babies.
