About

This curated Algae Cleaning Crew bundle combines 5 Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata) and 5 Nerite Snails to create a comprehensive biological algae management team for freshwater planted aquariums. The Amano Shrimp are relentless grazers of hair algae, thread algae, and soft surface biofilm, while the Nerite Snails handle green spot algae and diatoms on glass, hardscape, and plant leaves. Together they provide complementary coverage of virtually all common freshwater algae types and work continuously without harming healthy plants or disturbing substrate.

Care Guide

Introduce to a well-established, cycled aquarium (minimum 60 L). Maintain clean, oxygen-rich water (pH 6.5–7.5, temperature 20–26°C, GH 6–15). Both species are sensitive to copper-based medications — never treat with copper in the same tank. Nerite snails will not breed in freshwater. Amano Shrimp do best in groups and are more effective the more individuals are present. Feed supplementary algae wafers if natural algae supply is limited.
