Blue Rili Shrimp

Blue Rili Shrimp, scientifically known as Neocaridina davidi var. “Blue Rili”, is a captivating and visually striking freshwater shrimp species. What makes them truly remarkable is the presence of distinct blue patches or markings on their carapace and tail. These darker areas create a striking contrast against their translucent blue bodies, giving the shrimp a captivating and eye-catching appearance.

Blue Rili Shrimp are relatively small and typically reach a size of around 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) when fully grown. Their compact size makes them suitable for various aquarium setups, including small tanks or nano aquariums.

Blue Rili Shrimp are generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful fish and invertebrates that share similar water parameters. They are active foragers, constantly scavenging for algae, biofilm, and decaying organic matter. These shrimp are known for their entertaining and active behavior, adding liveliness to the aquarium.

Blue Rili Shrimp are considered hardy and relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water conditions. Providing them with a well-planted tank, hiding places, and a balanced diet that includes algae-based foods will contribute to their well-being and vibrant coloration.
