Long description:
Red Rili Shrimp are a selectively bred Neocaridina morph known for their distinctive red coloration combined with clear or translucent body sections. They are active grazers that feed on algae and biofilm, helping keep the aquarium clean. A planted tank with moss and hiding areas helps them feel secure and encourages breeding. They are ideal for peaceful community aquariums and do best in stable, mature tanks with consistent water conditions.
