Rili Shrimp
Neocaridina davidi var. Rili
Family: Atyidae
Rili Shrimp are a selectively bred Neocaridina davidi morph characterised by a two-tone pattern — a coloured head and tail section (typically red, orange, or blue) separated by a transparent or translucent mid-body section. This 'broken' coloration pattern is unique among neocaridina morphs and makes them visually striking in planted tanks. Care and breeding requirements are identical to standard red cherry shrimp.
