I've only had these little creatures a couple of week, but I love'em!

Only £1.65 each. Brought 3, then went back back the next day and got 3 more. They are brilliant at cleaning and so fascinating to watch.
 
:cool: very cool piccie ! They're lovely critters aren't they :)

I'm so jealous - you got them cheap as chips too - I paid £2.50 for each of mine and the were teeny tiny.
 
Kicking around in their green water quite happily tank you ! Just hope they don't extend the kicking to the bucket :lol:
 
Unfortunatly mine went "missing" after the first day I had them. I think they were little skrimp snacks.

Yours are beautiful, and I wish they were that cheap around here! How do they do with algae? I never got a chance to find out :lol:
 
They munch on algae like there's no tomorrow! My bog wood is always being cleaned.
 
great pic...we started off with 6 amano over 3 yrs ago 1 committed suicide on the first night ( climbed out of the tank was found halfway to our kitchen :/ ). 1 died from an unknown cause a couple of months ago but the other 4 are still going strong. theyre great little creatures to watch & ours are quite fearless i quite often see them stealing algae tabs from right under our yoyos noses :D they carry them off to a quiet corner to enjoy leaving a very baffled loking yoyo wondering what happened to dinner. we must get some more but just havent seen anywhere around for ages.
