Good cleaners for algae. Very hard to breed as the fry need brackish water to develop but they "spawn" in fresh water. I perfer Cherry shrimp as they are easy to breed and will keep a constant population in a tank for years. Amanos are larger than cherries. They live 2-3 years.

the cherry shrimp will be able to breed successfully in a tank without taking them out of the tank? if so... i might get them then...i'm just looking for some shrimp that will clean a little bit and look great in the tank!

Then cherries are the shrimp for you! I have been looking for cherries for weeks now, can't find a good inexpensive source other than aquabid.

Cherry shrimp will breed in a community tank. The fry stay hidden until they are large enough to swim on their own. I pull out a dozen or so every month.

Amanos, in theory, can live in a pond. Could cherry? Pond is in texas where the winters are general light but temperature fluxates a lot. Pond is 1,500 gallons and I have two floating heaters in it. Pond has goldfish & koi in it.
