Neocaridina Red Rili Shrimp are a beautiful freshwater shrimp variety known for their unique red-and-clear pattern and active grazing behavior. Their contrasting coloration makes them stand out in planted aquariums, especially against darker substrate, green plants, and natural décor. They are a favorite among hobbyists who want useful cleanup crew animals that are also visually striking and a little different from more solid-colored shrimp varieties.

Why Hobbyists Love Red Rili Shrimp

  • Unique red-and-clear pattern that stands out in planted aquariums
  • Constantly active and interesting to watch
  • Excellent cleanup crew for biofilm, leftover food, and soft algae
  • Great for nano tanks and peaceful community aquariums
  • Can reproduce readily in the right setup

Animal Data

Temperament & Behavior

Red Rili Shrimp are peaceful, active shrimp that spend most of their time grazing on surfaces throughout the aquarium. They do best in well-established tanks with plenty of cover, stable water conditions, and low predation pressure. In the right setup, they are constantly visible and add movement throughout the tank.

Feeding

Red Rili Shrimp thrive on a varied diet. While they spend much of their time grazing naturally, supplemental feeding helps support color, breeding, molting, and overall health.

Recommended foods:

  • High-quality shrimp foods and pellets
  • Algae wafers in moderation
  • Blanched vegetables occasionally
  • Biofilm and naturally occurring grazing surfaces
Tank Parameters & Tankmates

They do best in tanks with:

  • Live plants, mosses, and cover
  • Stable water quality and temperature
  • Gentle filtration and flow
  • Plenty of surfaces for grazing
  • Established biofilm in the aquarium

Tank Size (Recommended)

  • Nano setup: 5 gallons+ recommended
  • Small colony: 10 gallons+ preferred
  • Larger colonies: bigger tanks strongly recommended for population growth and stability

Water Temperature

  • Ideal range: 68–78°F
  • Many hobbyists keep them around 70–76°F
  • Stability is more important than chasing an exact number

Tank Mates (Good Choices)

Best tank mates are peaceful fish and invertebrates that will not harass or eat shrimp. Keep in mind that baby shrimp are much more vulnerable than adults.

Good tank mates may include:

  • Small peaceful snails
  • Other peaceful shrimp colony setups
  • Very gentle nano fish in carefully planned aquariums
  • Species-only shrimp tanks are often the safest choice

Avoid:

  • Aggressive fish
  • Large fish
  • Fish that pick constantly at invertebrates
  • Any tank mates likely to prey on baby shrimp
