If you’re newer to the shrimp-keeping hobby or are an experienced aquarist you may have heard of these two shrimp that are the most popular in the hobby, Cherry Shrimp and Amano Shrimp. Now what makes these shrimp the most popular? There are several reasons from adaptability while starting out all the way to the functionality of algae control, let's delve into more!
Both cherry shrimp and Amano shrimp are known for their hardiness and adaptability to a wide range of water parameters. They can tolerate a variety of water conditions, which makes them suitable for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
Amano shrimp are particularly valued for their appetite for algae. They are voracious algae eaters and can help keep aquariums clean by grazing on algae growth, making them popular choices for planted tanks where algae can be a nuisance.
Although amano shrimp often display clear body coloration that can change during breeding to different hues of red, blue, and green. Cherry shrimp on the other hand despite their name in low grades can also be relatively clear however as previously mentioned there are different grades.
Overall, the combination of hardiness, algae controlcapabilities, color variations, compatibility, and availability makes cherry shrimp and Amano shrimp popular choices for both beginner and experienced shrimp keepers in the hobby.
