    Question 'Orange Amano'???

    Just went to Poco Petland n saw some for sale - $8 ($4 on Tuesdays). The whole body is orange... Quite attractive!

    I've never seen them b4 n can only find little info about them on the net. They dont look like normal Amanos!? Has anyone seen them else where? What do u know about them?

    Default 'Orange Amano'???

    I have them for 3.00
    They aren't
    Amines but they do breed in brackish water. Very bright orange and quite hearty.

    Orange sunkist shrimp Caridina cf. propinqua

    Cool little shrimp that won't interbreed. Can't find the chart that shows this species does not interbreed but remember correctly that they don't as that was my question as well
    Some info in this link Orange Sunkist Shrimp
    90G soon to be malawi cichlids
