It is illegal to export majority of Australian fauna without correct certificates and permits, i only ship within Australia and anyone willing to export is foolish as they would be destroyed by border officials, also in case anyone was wondering i sell my 2 month old juvies for $25 each as they take a huge amount of time to grow

me too. A good quality male will improve the quality of the whole tank.

Doubt it. It’s more of a show tank. Big piece of driftwood runs through all of it. That doesn’t sound good. Guess I’ll be setting up a new tank if I want to keep crabs. Thanks jayc

I still wouldn't risk it. Apistos are aggressive towards crustaceans. The whole crab might not fit in it's big mouth, but their legs will. Apistos "could" take them apart piece by piece. Can you subdivide the 110L by adding a piece of perspex? It will need holes in it to let water flow through. Otherwise a new tank for the crabs.

Unfortunately, Amanos need brackish water (salty) for the larvae to survive. No one has ever bred Amanos in freshwater. As you can see their eggs are super tiny, compared to Neo Caridina and Caridina bee shrimps. These shrimps with tiny eggs, hatch into a larvae form, unlike Neos and Bee shrimps who hatch as tiny shrimps. These larvae need brackish water and feed on microscopic foods like green algae and plankton.

I agree

Heck them some crazy lookin eggs! Yeah would say she’s berried, no experience with amanos tho so probs can’t help there. Defs looks like an amano to me, too big to be a glass and chances r that a lfs wouldn’t have anything super rare that looks like that. Good luck with the babies though! I’ve got no idea on how well they’ll do but if they hatch then moss or tight-leafed plants will help protect them from the tetras.

That does look like another female to me as well! Simon

Hiya, I recently (5 - 6 months ago), started a tank for my wee one. We have 4 Bloodfin Tetra's in there. A couple of days later I had to go back to the shop because I really wanted the shrimp. My other half thought I was going mad! We got the 2 Amano shrimp settled in (love it, they are brill). Now one of the Amano's seems to be pregnant. I want to make sure they are before making any other moves. I'm not even 100% they are Amano, but if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. x

Thank you all for your comments. Of course, I would lose internet access after posting. Meanwhile, I got better pics and I, too, am leaning towards all females. The one with the black eggs(?) was questionable to me but now I think it has a female's body shape. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yZoROeDw3z_8mE8cd03W1O_L-TOOY1sJ I guess I gotta go find a male.
