[hermitpermit]

can you easily breed amano shrimp i have recently bought 4 and dont know if they are male or female can anyone tell me sexing tips and also breeding methods

Tell you what'd be a good idea. You try one method and I'll try another.

I'm intending to get a few more shrimps myself, and then hopefully (attempt to) breed them. This is my plan.

Small 10g tank, with about 5/6 shrimps, a muddy substrate, plants, not too oxygenated, and not too bright, with a variety of sinking foods. Oh, Also some rocks and hiding places for them to shelter in.

Watcha reckon?

I belive that the young shrimps in the wild usually end up down stream/river and live in a brackish to salt water environment.

i will leave it about 1-2 weeks to see how they get on and i will get back to you

They will need salt in their water to survive. I've read that it's very difficult to raise amano shrimp.
