Amano Shrimp Care Guide (Pakistan-Specific Tips!)

📌 Water Conditions:

• pH: Maintain between 6.5–7.5
• Temperature: Keep within 72–80°F (22–27°C)
• Water Hardness: Prefer soft to moderately hard water; regular partial water changes (20–30% weekly) are essential to maintain pristine conditions.
  Tip: Use a high-quality water conditioner to remove chlorine and stabilize water parameters.

📌 Tank Setup:

• Size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended to allow for stable water quality and natural social behavior.
• Substrate: Use fine gravel or sand to protect their delicate exoskeleton while foraging.
• Decor: Provide plenty of live aquatic plants, driftwood, and hiding spots (e.g., caves) to mimic their natural habitat and reduce stress.

📌 Feeding:
While Amano Shrimps primarily rely on grazing algae and biofilm, supplement their diet with high-quality sinking shrimp pellets and blanched vegetables (such as zucchini or spinach) to ensure balanced nutrition.

📌 Maintenance:
Regular substrate vacuuming and partial water changes are crucial to prevent detritus buildup. Consistent water quality and stable parameters will keep your Amano Shrimps thriving.

📌 Behavior Management:
Amano Shrimps are social and do best when kept in groups of 6 or more. Their collective grazing behavior maximizes algae control and minimizes stress.

💡 Pro Tip:
Enhance their natural cleaning ability and vibrant appearance by using diffused LED lighting that promotes healthy plant growth and accentuates the subtle colors of your Amano Shrimps.
