They are low/medium grade red rilli as we are continuing to improve the line - so please consider before buying Red Rili Shrimp are named for their unique and eye-catching coloration. Their body is mostly transparent, which provides a clear canvas for their vibrant red markings. The red coloration starts at the head and intensifies as it extends towards the tail, creating a distinct "rili" or "rally stripe" pattern. This striking coloration adds a touch of vibrancy and elegance to any aquarium, making them a popular choice among shrimp keepers. CARING - Red Rili is 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 5 for them to show their best color. The aquarium should be fully cycled before introducing any shrimp. There should be no trace of Ammonia and Nitrite, Nitrate under 25ppm. A 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. BREEDING - Breeding Red Rili is fairly easy, if there is a male and female in the aquarium, they will breed. Female shrimp will carry the eggs for about 30 days until they are hatched to the miniature size of their parents. It is important to have a well-established aquarium in order for the shrimplets to survive as they can only consume biofilms until they grow older. We recommend only keeping one strain of Neocaridina shrimp per tank because of crossbreeding, which will revert the offspring back to wild color.
