Blue Rili Shrimp

Blue Rili Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi)

Add a bold splash of color and contrast to your aquarium with Blue Rili Shrimp. Known for their unique pattern—featuring deep blue coloration on the head and tail with a translucent or lighter midsection—these shrimp create a striking, high-end look in any tank.

Blue Rilis are not only beautiful but also incredibly hardy, making them a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. As active scavengers, they help keep your tank clean by feeding on biofilm, algae, and leftover food, contributing to a balanced ecosystem.

These shrimp thrive in planted aquariums and breed readily in stable conditions, allowing you to grow your colony over time. Their peaceful nature makes them perfect for community tanks with other small, non-aggressive species.
