You will receive ten (10) Red Rili shrimp that have the rili pattern (color in the head and tail with a clear midsection). The Red Rili shrimp has red coloration like the Cherry shrimp. The shrimp will be healthy and near breeding age.
The Red Rili is a color morph of the cherry shrimp. It was developed around 2010 and has since been stabilized. As far as care, Red Rili shrimp accept the same conditions as cherry shrimp and other Neocaridina shrimp. Although they are bred from Cherries, due to selective breeding these shrimp are a little more sensitive to tank parameters and fluctuations. They are still, what we would consider, beginner shrimp and fairly easy to care for. Here are the parameters we use for breeding:
Below are the parameters we keep all of our Neocaridina shrimp at, specifically our Red Rili Shrimp:
Below is a list of items we use to keep and breed our Neocaridina shrimp in all of our tanks:
