Amano Shrimp - Caridina multidentata
This shrimp is popular among many aquatic plant hobbyists as they are known for their amazing cleaning abilities. Also known as the "Japanese Algae Eater," the Amano Shrimp was named after Takashi Amano after he introduced this amazing invert to the aquaria hobby!
This beautiful shrimp does a great job feeding off the surfaces of the tank and eating matter off plants. They particularly love hanging around the foam cover of the filters, catching and eating the debris that gets caught around that area.
Size is about 3/4" - 1" or so.
This is for a lot of 10 shrimp.

10 amanos
I ordered 10 and all arrived alive and well. However, one must have been young, or a little weak, and perished overnight. The rest look great.

Happy and Healthy
Well, they did eat one of their dead comrades in the bag, but that is to be expected. After acclimating and putting them in the tank they immediately got to work on my brown algae.
