Edit - OP is from Karachi , Pakistan so he may have access to those as I don’t think have seen those in UK LFS.

I think its cool he got one of these. They look neat.

 

[Ch4rlie]

Indeed, I may actually be in the lookout for some of those.

I hope at least one of my local LFS may start to stock these by chance.

so it is not an actual Amano right ?

my lfs owner said, they import it from Indonesia.

 

[CassCats]

No not an amano

 

[vanalisa]

Maybe it's a young Amano and after they grow and molt they will lose some of their spots and dark colors?

Edit* adtwe looking at the information I'm not so keen on my theory!

 

[Junaid75]

Thanks all for your valuable inputs.

I think its some local shrimp species from Indonesia.
They sold it as "Local Amano" Here. I'll look it up for you later

I have some more images for you guys, btw the female is infected to some disease I think.
what I have to do now with this female ?
any suggestion ?

 

[CassCats]

No disease apparent.

The green under her shell are eggs, called being berried in shrimp.

Theyre beautiful shrimp, I love the markings on them.

I understand @NCaquatics but my bloody mary female has egg shape.

Here are some images of Frick and Frack.
You may notice some similarities between your berries shrimp over time.
I especially like the pictures that show them both together with their own individual wafers.

Frick is gone now, but the little thing was the first shrimp I ever owned, was always responsive to me, captured my heart and then I got her Frack as a friend. They were inseparable! ( I loved them so much,
after that I started a RCS colony).

Frack is lonely now that Frick is gone; I hope I can get another Amano...but honestly it was hard to see her labor and fan her eggs without getting the shrimplets. Algae had no chance against the two of them......

im no expert but this looks like ellobiopsidae infestation on a “wild form” neocaridina shrimp. This is not a berried shrimp. Sorry. You should remove it and either treat it or euthanize it. It may survive a formalin dip but it looks like this is very progressed.

I wondered why the eggs weren't round as they usually are. I'd never heard of ellobiopsidae so I googled it and I think you are right Though one article says it could be Cladogonium ogishimae

Based on the pics is why it looks like ellobiopsidae. I hope the OP removes it quickly or the colony could be lost
