Japonica Algae (Amano) Shrimp (Caridina multidentata)

Caridina multidentata is the shrimp Takashi Amano built half his planted-tank reputation on, and for good reason — pound for pound it clears hair algae faster than almost anything else that swims. This is the large size grade, so you're getting shrimp with a genuine size advantage for cleanup duty in a bigger tank.
