  • My fish store carries these things but they are EXPENSIVE. 8 bucks for one!

  • @takadi Otos are mostly wild caught, so they are kinda seasonal. If something happens in S. America, like floods, they will be harder to get, and therefore, more expensive.

  • Nice shrimp. Wold they do well with ghost shrimp?

  • They should be okay. The ghost shrimp will have a hard time getting any food with these things in the tank though.

  • I have a lot of Red Cherry, Amano, and Ghost shrimp running in my community freshwater right now, but the Amano is by far my favorite.

    How long did it take for yours to grow to that size? Those are massive!

  • Yeah, ghost shrimp are totally lame compared to these things. Red Cherries look really cool but I've never seen any available where I live. I have had these guys for about 2 years.

  • awww the cycle of life in the animal kingdom

  • how long did it take them to eat the whole fish - i only ask because this morning I have lost a siamese fighter female - literally disappeared! I have 8 shrimp and wonder if they have eaten it overnight maybe??? i have opened and cleaned both filters and moved all plants can't find it anywhere. any ideas anyone????

  • @TheCuban1040 Where did you get your Amanos?

  • in my pet store there like £ 1.50

  • I caught two of my Amanos chowing down on a big half dead angel fish. I was kinda enjoying the show.... then my Girlfriend saw it and went nuts! she called them murderers and wanted them out.

    I had to march my GF down to the aquarium and get the guy that worked there to calm her down... he said they would never kill a fish, but they would eat anything that is on the bottom of the tank. Verdict: Angel died of natural caused.. and the shrimp got off on all charges.

  • i've got some of these shrimp, and I saw how they violently killed devoured a beetle that had fallen into the tank. I haven't put my hand in there since!

  • @takadi

    no the amanos

  • @takadi The otos?!

  • Does anyone know how to breed those shrimps?

  • @TheCuban1040
