Amano shrimp

[fishmosy]

Does anyone know if the true amano shrimp is here in Aus?

Reason I ask is because I have seen them advertised from a shop in Aus, except the picture of the shrimp looked more like an Aussie glass shrimp than a true amano.

As far as I am aware, the amano isn't here.

As we can not import Crustaceans I think not, but look at all the other stuff around!

The closest we have for size and what they eat is the Typus

Yes the amano shrimp is here.

Which shop did you see advertising this fishmosy?

Why the interest in Amano shrimp? I think they are a bit bland looking especially if you're looking for algae eater, then the natives like DAS are better IMHO.

I have no personal interest in amano shrimp as if I ever wanted an algae eating shrimp there are plenty of good looking natives that do the job. I was just wondering if they were here because I saw them advertised, and wondered whether someone was trying to pass off native shrimp as amano or whether someone had taken the risk of importing them.

@Sprae I absolutely agree.

@Khemo As the shop is not a SKF sponsor I wont mention names.
