ahboram Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Will they interbreed? I have some hair algae that I want to get rid of so I threw a 2 amano shrimp in there. Will they interbreed with the OEBT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 No, but I wouldn't be shocked if some got preyed upon by the Amanos. OMG Aquatics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 No, but I wouldn't be shocked if some got preyed upon by the Amanos. If you have more than one they act like little wolf packs. They are bad ass shrimps. sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Amanos are very aggressive. Just a 1 second attack from Amano can do enough damage to oebt for it to not be recoverable. Seen it with my own eyes. sarah, Soothing Shrimp and Dukendabears 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I love Amanos but I had a group of them holding their own in a large tropical tank with pretty large fish. I would be worried they wouldnt let your shrimp have any food and if they got hungry............ (gulp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackhead Johny Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 So "Ammanos are totally peaceful" is not true. Are these ghost shrimp bad? So I will have to catch the 3 in the 55 before neos move in. bamboo/flower shrimp I though were filter feeders and should be safe right? EDIT: Never mind about the bamboo. It didn't survive 48 hours (other was DOA). Pretty orange shrimp while it lasted. Last night it was having a hard time swimming and was having seizures so I figured it would be dead by dawn and it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I think it depends on the Amano. I don't think they would go on a killing spree with your shrimp, but I also wouldn't put it past them to eat a vulnerable shrimp once they got a taste for it. Mine would eat anything and didnt seem to have a preference to algae waffers and after a while didnt even clean the algae from the tank. They were fun to watch in the fish tank but having had them in the fish tank, and seen their behavior I have never added them to my shrimp tanks even though I like them.
