 | Amano Shrimp Questions! |
Calilasseia    *Ultimate Fish Guru* Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003   | Hello everyone! I've neard that Amano Shrimp are algae eaters (or at least primarily herbivorous). Can anyone enlighten me more on these creatures? Possibly link to a web age devoted to their care? Only I'd like to know if these critters will eat blue green algae among other things. And if they will leave fish eggs alone in an aquarium in which fish have spawned. Only if the above questions are answered in the affirmative, I might get hold of a couple. Last edited by Calilasseia at 21-Feb-2005 12:03  |
