The Yamato or Amano Shrimp is another peaceful community shrimp. They are a bit larger than the Cherry or Crystal Shrimps and have more subtle coloration. They require excellent stable water quality and a well planted tank to thrive. They like to be kept in a group and will be more confident.

These little shrimps are sensitive to water conditions. They need soft water and many keepers will use a percentage of RO water to maintian the tank conditions.

Species – Yamato Shrimp - Caridina multidentata

Current Size – 1-2cm

Adult Length – 5cm

Temperature Range – 22 - 28°C

Tanks Mates and Compatibility – These little shrimps can make a meal for a lot of tropical fish so the main tank mates have to be small and placid.
