Anyone know anything about the breeding habits of Amano shrimp? While
looking at my tank this afternoon, my attention was drawn to some movement
on my Nutrafin CO2 bubble counter and I noticed a small, 1/4" long shrimp.
None of the 10 shrimp that I've purchased over the last several months
were
that small when I got them, and they're all now between 1 1/2 and 2" long
so
I can only conclude that some eggs hatched and survived.

The thing is that I'd always understood that Japonica required brackish
water to breed and my planted, CO2 injected, 6.6 PH, low carbonate
hardness,
peat filtered (you get the idea) tank can hardly be considered brackish.

Any thoughts?
Bruce,
Check out my links to freshwater shrimps at:
