Solitary Amano Shrimp?

Hello. I have a 10 gallon tank with about 20 - 30 neocaridina fry (a few juveniles mixed in, no adults). I have one adult amano shrimp. I used to have three
Here's my question: I've read that Amano Shrimp should be kept in groups (I've read from 3 to 6 in different places). I've also read that other tank mates can include neocaridina shrimp. So, do you think my sole Amano Shrimp is "lonely" for other Amanos, or do the many other neocaridina shrimp make up for lack of other Amanos? This is a serious question, too. I honestly worry that any of my pets aren't as happy as they could be. So, if Amanos are meant to be kept with other Amanos, I'll gladly purchase a few more Amano to keep Rick C-137 company

 

Don’t worry too much, they are invertebrates meaning that their neural system is rudimentary. Their behavior is sensor based rather than emotion based, so it is not possible they feel lonely. If food is enough, your amano will be busy feeding and thus “happy” forever

Thanks, yeah, I do have a bad habit of humanizing my pets. I needed that reminder that Rick C-137's needs are more than taken care of & he's most likely "happy" in whatever way invertebrates experience "happiness".

 

Main reason to keep em in groups is because a group keeps a tank clean muvh more efficiently.

 

I have 3 Amanos and they are always sitting together and enjoy each other’s company. I don’t think they would feel stressed alone, but they definitely enjoy company. If you can get your shrimp some buddies that would benefit her
