Breeding Amano shrimp?

[ss720]

Can it be done?

I have nano tank, I'd love to turn into a Amano shrimp breeding tank.

The fry needs to be in brackish waters, and that's about all I know...

Do more homework. Can be done but nothing like other shrimp breed. From what i understand They breed in rivers that flow into the ocean so you need to take new hatchlings and dump them in saltwater and slowly over time convert them to freshwater. Sounds very difficult and complicated though few have done it. Any other type of shrimp would be easier to breed

i believe its possible its just a lot of work. when they hatch they are super small and can be hard to kept fed.

Amanos when they hatch are larvae and free floaters. This makes them hard to feed. Yes, they need saltwater/brackish, but the food supply alone is extremely hard to feed without fouling water.
