The Amano-Shrimp has been a great addition to my 50-liter tank. They clean the glass and substrate naturally without causing any disturbances. I’ve kept them for over three months and they remain active and healthy.

They arrived quickly and are doing well in my freshwater setup. I noticed a significant reduction in algae growth after a few weeks. Just make sure the water parameters are stable.
