Hi all,
We recently added 4 amano shrimp into our tank and have a query about 1 of them.
When we bought them they were all the same size, but the 1 is now near enough double the size of the others and i'm now unsure if it is an amano could somebody confirm if it is or not?
If it is, is it normal for them to grow at different rates?

Yes it's an amano!
Females grow to twice the size of the males.
Don't worry!

I thought it may just have been a greedy little sod !
no probs mate - i thought the same when I first started keeping 'em.
Ditto, same problem, same conclusion. Looks like I've a good mix of males and females then... Huzzah !

Yes we had some quite big ones before the shrimps disaster in our tank
