Most likely not they are brackishI spotted some eggs on my amano shrimp. Will they hatch in freshwater?
maybe if there is a brackish quarantine tank the wigglies could be fed GreenWater and surviveAmanos are one of the few shrimps where eggs hatch to a larval stage rather than miniature adults. Like nerite snails, these larvae need salt water and microscopic algae food to survive. I had amanos for several years, the females were constantly berried but they never increased in number unlike the cherry shrimps I have now.
