amano's and cherries

Post by badflash »

I think not. Different genus and they two shrimp have a different life cycle. Amano's have a planctonic stage and cherries don't. Amano larva need salt water and cherries would die in it.

amanos & cherries

Post by badflash »

I have 13 amanos and 11 cherries in a 10 gallon tank. I'm no expert as I've only been doing this a couple of months and have had a disaster already.

I think I've room for many more shrimp in a tank that size.
