So far they have been fine in the tank. Originally some fell out of a net & into one of my tanks below. Found 3 amanos in a tank. Seemed to do fine so I left them in there. It's probably been around 5 months or so. Stuck other in this 5 gallon. I was starting to consider trying to breed amanos but the amount of work is more than I'm willing to do. They're peaceful shrimp. Even though they're in brackish water it may be best if I put them back into FW. Here's a link to someone who has successfully bred amanos.

I have had amano shrimp reproduce twice, but they never made it.
