These White Amano Shrimp are hardworking, hardy, and efficient algae eaters—perfect for planted tanks and aquascapes. With a unique pale coloration and translucent body, they add subtle beauty to your tank while helping maintain a clean ecosystem. Unlike the typical gray-toned Amanos, this lighter variant stands out with a ghostly appearance that contrasts beautifully against plants and dark substrates.
Amano shrimp are peaceful, community-friendly, and thrive in stable, mature aquariums. They’re best kept in groups and should not be housed with aggressive fish or large predators.
