Hmmm... According to the description at

that's not true:

Actually, if you bother to read the whole page:

In nature, adult Amano-shrimp live in mountain streams, but the larvae
are washed out into the sea, where they feed on marine plankton and
grow. After metamorphosis they migrate back up into the streams. We must
mimic this cycle in order to breed the shrimp. Therefore the larvae have
to be transferred to salt water as soon as possible, at the latest at
the 8th day after hatching, because after that they become unable to
live in fresh water - or in insufficiently salty brackish water, for
that matter. There is no need to gradually increase salinity, the larvae
have no problem being unceremoniously dumped straight into salt water.

Ah, I missed that bit, thanks!

Cheers,

Michi.
