The Red Rili Shrimp is a vibrant and eye-catching twist on the classic red cherry shrimp. Selectively bred for contrast, it features striking bright red markings alongside translucent body patches, adding a unique flair to any planted aquarium.
Hardy and beginner-friendly, Red Rilis are easy to care for and thrive in a wide range of water conditions. They prefer well-established tanks with stable parameters and plenty of hiding spots like moss, driftwood, and shrimp tubes.
Ideal Water Parameters:
Temperature: 18–29 °C

Key Traits:

Red Rili Shrimp do best in shrimp-only or peaceful invert community tanks. Avoid mixing with larger or aggressive fish. Compatible companions include small snails, Thai micro crabs, or Caridina shrimp.
With their playful appearance and easy care, Red Rilis are a perfect choice for hobbyists who want something a little different from the usual cherry shrimp.
