Amano Shrimp Tails

[BethK]

Hi All

I have 4 Amanos and this morning I notice their tails differ slightly. 3 of them have a big black dot on either end of their tails but the other one has no dots,it's tail is the same color as it's body.

Anyone know if this means anything?

Thanks

essentially, no, unless they're being bullied by your bettas. shrimps vary just as people do - the spots'll be different on every shrimp to some degree. t's just natural variation.

Ah ok, I noticed it had shredded recently, maybe it lost it's dots

Bettas don't bother these lot, I've seen my Amanos fight back, the first time they went for them. My bettas never bothered since, Amanos are tough shrimp huh
