AmanoBreeder Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi, Thank you for this amazing thread,hard work and all the videos you uploaded on raising amano shrimps. I have been attempting to raise amano shrimp for about a year but always ended in failure. My best attempt was when I got the amano larvae to 25 days. I would be most grateful if you could please share/teach me your method to raising amano shrimp? My method is as follows: 1) 10 litre tank 2) 34 ppt salt water 3)temp 22 degrees Celsius 4) airline tube with very gentle bubbling 5) 24 hour LED light 6) lots of brown algae has grown all over the sides of the tank Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorteil Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Any idea if the babies will hatch from a female if she is in a brackish tank with a salinity of 1.010? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shouu Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Kept a few (1/2 a dozen) home bred that never left the brackish water since born with Opae Ula and they live close to four Years. Didn’t have any berries shrimp.. Added some salt in the berried female tank before, can’t remember any babies hatch from the female or didn’t know the salinity either.

Vorteil Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Here's why I ask. I was taking out some amanos from a tank on a top shelf. Looks like some crawled out of the net and fell into a bottom brackish Opae Ula tank. They've been in there for going on maybe 5 months. I saw a berried amano with my neos and wondered what would happen if I put her in my brackish tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorteil Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 I figured it couldn't be that easy or you would have done it. Very cool Amano project you have going. Thank you for responding & sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shouu Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 From F3 on, tank raised Amano shrimp developed like gold fish and takes time to grow to its potential color. Take about a year at least. In the F4 video clips, there are three different color traits in there, a greenish color, yellowish and grayish color.

Vorteil Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 @ shouu What was the reason to try & breed amanos? the challenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shouu Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Curiosity and challenge or a little bit of both. The above vid of F5 larvae was the only batch I got out of F4 Amano shrimp and they didn’t survived. They’re closed to sterile and not productive. Here another vid of F2 larvae at a few days old. The four years old F1 Amano shrimp still hatching larvae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shouu Posted August 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Not all F4 female Amano shrimp are sterile after all. Working on second batch F5 Amano shrimp larvae and back on track for F5 Amano shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanya Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hello Everyone, Please may I have your advice. I have a 15 litre tank that I’ve moved my pregnant Amano shrimp too and just waiting for them to hatch (she’s around 5/6 weeks now). my question is, how do I calculate the salinity levels for my size tank? many thanks, tanya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
