Amano Breeding

Hi.Amanos are still doing very well.They range between 10mm and 20mm at this stage.

 

Awesome @Christiaan Duvenage , they gorgeous!

Its incredible that those little mites look like little shrimps now!!

 

Tnx Maria.Yeah it's nice to have gotten them to this stage.I feel relieved and overjoyed.

 

I am sure you do and you should be very proud of yourself too!!

 

Very cool!

 

Glad you cracked the code

Lol - and best of all it creates the path to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_of_the_crowd as others will surely want to have the same success.

Great threads like this is why I love this hobby ...

Later Ferdie

PS When last did we have a good sticky ?

 

Precisely so Ferdi,words of wisdom.I guess I cant take full credit.I did the work and followed my gut,but I had some input from a German guy and a local guy.I tweaked there recipies a bit to create something that worked for me but without the wisdom of a crowd I probably would of struggled.

 

amazing thread, very selfless of you to share your experience, I'm pretty sure others would have kept it for themselves.
let us know when they are ready for sale !!

 

1 question.. what was the water temp you kept in both tanks?

 

Try to keep it at a constant 26°c

 

Hi all.
New update: My amanos have reached maturity and even better news is that the first female is berried.

I'll be breeding them again,this time in a 300l tank,hopefully to get some on the open market.

 

That's awesome @Christiaan Duvenage !!

Good luck

 

That is just awesome. Well done.

Awesome. Circle of life. Well done

 

Wow, looks great. How do you manage keeping the temperature constant in this heat... Do you use a chiller?

 

Hi @AmithS No chiller just keep them as is

 

I knew you could do it, very well done man!!!

 

those look great, and they grow so quick!! the ones i got from you are 3cms, I have them with other shrimp! they are bullies

 

Any further updates on the breeding program?
I am interested in getting a few for my planted tanks.
