Can You Breed Amano Shrimp?

Hi ,i`ve bought some amano shrimp from my lfs and the chap there said that they`re easy to breed ,as he also told me that i`ve got a male and female ,is this true?

Sexing them is very difficult, and they wont reproduce in fresh water as the off spring require strong brackish conditions.

Thanks ,i thought i`d read that somewhere but the man in pets at home said that they were easy to breed and that the greener on of the two was a female,..strange!

Yeah, as SS said they need brackish water, although they will produce eggs, but no more will come of it lol

be supprised if he knew the diff between Amano and cherrys in fairness. The cherry breed like no ones business in freshwater
