Amono shrimp ok?

At my local fish store the amono shrimp they have looks very opace, I don't think that's normal right. Just want to know if its sick because tgey have some red crystal shrimp in the same tank that I would like to get.

 

That's not a Amano shrimp.. That's a Bamboo shrimp

 

never herd of it so I thought it was an amano

 

Agreed, it's a bamboo shrimp. What size tank is it in? Unlike other popular shrimp, they are filter feeders and need large volumes of water to pick up tiny particles of food, at least a 20 long or 30g. It will be fine with other shrimp.

 

in like a 15 gallon I think

 

It may be okay if there's lots of current. They need the current to feed off of tiny particles.

 

You may want to consider rehoming/ taking him/her back then..

 

Filter feeders. They span they're fans to catch passing food. Very interesting.
Edit- sorry aster.. parroting..

 

I did not buy it, its at a pet store

 

Oh! I thought it was yours and you were asking if it was sick. Well, it's just mislabeled. The RCS should be fine.

 

ok thanks for all the info everbody

 

Anybody else see the juvie rcs in front of it?
