I currently have a medium/heavily stocked 10 gallon with 9 ember tetras. I would love to add 3 Amano shrimp, but unfortunately, my luck with shrimp is not very good. I lost 2 batches of cherry shrimp($60 bucks down the drain
) due to not acclimating them properly. I know that Amano shrimp are way hardier than cherries(which I also ordered online), so I'm hopeful that getting the amanos from a local Petco and drip acclimating them will keep them from dying in the first 48 hours. So my question is what would the exact procedure be to getting them in my tank safely, and how can I prevent them from dying a few months down the road? All my parameters are perfect too btw.
