The "Amano shrimp" or "Yamato shrimp" is a species of freshwater shrimp that has been in the news for many years (Caridina multidentata; before Caridina japonica). Amano ordered a local distributor to special order several thousand of these plants after discovering that this species can eat large amounts of algae. They have since become a staple in the freshwater planted aquarium hobby.
Aqua Design Amano is also a brand that sells aquarium parts. (ADA) In monthly magazines in Practical Fishkeeping in the United Kingdom and Tropical Fish Hobbyist in the United States, "Nature Aquarium" was included in his article series. He died of pneumonia at the age of 61 in 2015.
Photography career

On extra large size films (up to 8 – 20 inches), he caught minute details of nature. His works have been seen and published in many exhibitions and journals around the world.

He was a member of the Japan Professional Photographers Society, the International Environment Photographers Association, and the Society of Scientific Photographs.
