| Cherry shrimp eat about the same amount of algae as Amano, but Cherry shrimp eat a wider variety of algae. Cherry and Amano shrimp don't get quite as big as most ghost shrimp, but they are usually purchased at the same size in my experience.

| I believe Amanos get significantly larger than ghost shrimp. I have a dozen or so Amanos and they seem to moult more often than do my ghost shrimp, which are also smaller.
