      That sucks. My dad always had a tank and then I got my own 10 gallon for my room with his and my mom's approval. I now as an adult with my own kids have 6 freshwater planted tanks with community fish and red cherry shrimp as well as pink and brown ramshorns snails running today, a walstad jar, a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, a crayfish tank, and 4 cats. We love animals over here. My youngest who just turned 8 on the 22nd just started her own 5 gallon. She has guppies, killi fish, pink ramshorns snails, and red cherry shrimp as well as plants and Manzanita wood. She has this idea of using her marimo balls on the tips of the tree branches to makes it more life like.

    The SAE are great for algae and as long as you've got fish in which don't eat the shrimp then the Amano shrimp are a great solution too.
    Florida flag fish are a great one for algae too but they can be nippy little buggers so they're no good with small fish and shrimps.
    Groovy.

  • @thefishylife6823
    @thefishylife6823 6 лет назад +12

Currently have one from Ebay is a no name with all the colours, but can only have all 4 colors on blue. I have a nerite, bladder snails and one remaining ghost shrimp. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • @fernandocarvallo9135
    @fernandocarvallo9135 4 года назад +3

    Fun fact: The type of diadromous (part freshwater, part marine) life cycle that amano shrimp and some other freshwater shrimp (e.g. Macrobrachium spp.) have is called "Amphidromy" which specifically describes the need for the larval form to develop at first in saltwater then move to freshwater to complete its life cycle.
