Soothing Shrimp Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Perhaps Amano? ohmiko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paden Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi SS, No he looks like a cherry shrimp other than he is yellow.Being as got him from petco they knew nothing about species or requirements.TIA Paden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Still sounds like an amano to me. (?) Do you have a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Does it look like this? When I was ordering frm taiwan they had a "Cleaner Shrimp" for $0.15 each which was separate from Amano as amanos were a little bit more like 30 cents each. So maybe cleaner? Never seen them on sale in my LFS though But i have seen "Japanese Algae Eater Shrimp" in petco and they have no clue when people ask questions so I usually answer some stuff... they should pay me to work at the fish section ahhaahha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paden Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Talked to the guy that ordered the shrimp for that petco.He said yeah they are same as cherrys.There is a 3 page thread on here showing same shrimp,only difference is the name.And the fact they were a buck cheaper than cherry.
