Found out that my local PetCo sells Amano shrimp for 1.99 each. That's pretty cheap imo. Once i get payed Friday i'm going to go buy them out. haha

make sure they are true Amano ... I bought some and the seller said "Amano" and they turned out to be fan shrimp (my bonus)

They're labeled as Japanese algae eating shrimp. They look exactly identical to the Amano. Any other ways to tell them apart?

if they look like ducks...

but sometimes you get a goose


If you can ID them you should be ok.

For food or pets/cleanup crew?

Looking at the avatar i think they´re gonna become a very sweet desserts ñ_ñ

hahaha, nah. $2 per snack for something that small isn't worth it. =P

I was going to keep them in my breeder tank and give a bunch to a friend that has a couple nice planted tanks.

Amanos are too valuable to be feeders. They live very long lives in captivity.

That is a steal! They usually go for up to $10 ~15 each. Cherries are in the average of $2 each at the LFS...

Holy crap! No store around here sell RCS, just Ghosts. Ghost shrimp at the LFS are super cheap. 4/$1.

Went today to get all the shrimp and they were sold out. Not mad though because i'm glad someone in my area is into the hobby enough to realize that was an incredible deal.
