Rare photo of Amano Shrimp carrying eggs.

I've had Amano Shrimps in my tank for 3 years, this is the first time I've seen one with eggs 😲

Here's the tricky part: in their larvae stage, Amano Shrimps require brackish/saltwater, but freshwater once they reached their final stage.

@mariatta Amano shrimp are the best! You could set up a temporary small brackish tank. Raising baby aquatic creatures is both fun and a total rabbit hole you can lose yourself in completely.
@kattni Sadly I had just started re-scaping and re-cycling my second tank only a few days before I noticed the Amano with eggs, so setting up yet another tank would be too much right now 😓
I plan to turn it into a shrimp colony tank anyway (neocaridina)
@mariatta That's entirely fair. Don't overdo it!
