Hendre Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi guys, these shrimp are being sold to me as amanos. Although I have my doubts, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimple minded Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Sorry, but those don't look like amanos to me. They look more like snowballs or (extremely) poorly colored yellow cherry shrimp. Amanos have significant size, and some markings, which are difficult to gauge by the pictures, but at first glance they don't look like amanos.

chappy6107 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 looks more like a poorly colored neo. Does not look like an amano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ku5a101 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Pics aren't too clear, but I do see some of yours have eggs. Amano eggs are VERY miniscule so they can carry as much as 2000 eggs at a time. If these shrimp look like they are carrying less than 20-36 eggs (or at least enough that you can probably make a close count) then they are definitely not Amanos.

Hendre Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Well these didn't turn out to be amanos, the suppliers photos are washed out. I'm getting the real deal soon. I've ended up with some sort of chocolate brown shrimp. I have 3 adults and a good few shrimplets. No clue as to what though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My supplier went to a new supplier, these were listed with "amanos" with the other one. I'll be getting new ones soon Tracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
