Red Rili Shrimp

Show off your aquarium's colors with the Red Rili Shrimp. This unique variety of cherry shrimp has red coloration in the head and tail with a clear midsection. Stabilized since 2010, these beautiful freshwater shrimp are suitable for beginner hobbyists and easy to care for. As with other Neocaridina species, the Red Rili is sensitive to tank parameters and fluctuations.

CARING - Rili shrimp are easy to care for as they can adapt to a wide range of water parameters, they can be kept in either soft or hard water. We recommend keeping them in hard water with a gH of at least 6 for them to show the most color. Aquarium should be fully cycled before introducing any shrimp. There should be no trace of any Ammonia or Nitrite. Nitrate should be under 25ppm. Weekly or bi-weekly water change of 10-20% is suggested to keep the nitrate low. Feed only 2-3 times a week as overfeeding will cause shrimp death.
