The Red Rili Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. "Red Rili") is a popular and captivating freshwater shrimp species. Here are some important details to consider when keeping Red Rili Shrimp:

Appearance:

  • Striking Red Coloration: The Red Rili Shrimp is named for its intense red color, which adds a vibrant and eye-catching element to any aquarium. The color intensity may vary between individuals, but they typically exhibit a vivid red hue.
  • Unique Spotted Pattern: One of the distinguishing features of the Red Rili Shrimp is its translucent body with red spots distributed across its exoskeleton. This pattern creates a beautiful contrast against its red color.

Temperament and Behavior:

  • Peaceful and Active: Red Rili Shrimp are peaceful and non-aggressive, making them ideal for community aquariums. They are generally active and can often be seen foraging, exploring, and grazing on surfaces.

Water Conditions:

  • Temperature: Maintain the water temperature between 20°C and 25°C (68°F-77°F) to provide an optimal environment for Red Rili Shrimp.
  • pH Level: Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH range of 6.5 to 7.5.
  • Water Hardness: Red Rili Shrimp can adapt to a wide range of water hardness, but a moderate level of hardness, around 5 to 15 dH, is ideal.

Tank Setup:

  • Tank Size: Red Rili Shrimp can thrive in a relatively small aquarium, such as a 10-gallon tank or larger. Provide sufficient hiding places and plants, both live and artificial, for them to explore and seek shelter.
  • Substrate and Décor: Use a fine-grained substrate to ensure the shrimp can sift through it in search of food. Adding rocks, driftwood, and mosses can create a natural and visually appealing environment for them.

Feeding Habit:

  • Omnivorous Diet: Red Rili Shrimp are scavengers and will consume various types of food. Provide a balanced diet consisting of high-quality shrimp pellets or flakes, as well as blanched vegetables such as spinach or zucchini. They will also graze on biofilm and algae present in the aquarium.

Care:

  • Water Quality Maintenance: Regularly test the water parameters and maintain excellent water quality. Perform routine water changes to keep ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels in check.
  • Compatibility: Red Rili Shrimp are generally compatible with other peaceful freshwater species, such as small fish, snails, and other shrimp species. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or larger fish that may pose a threat to the shrimp.
  • Observation: Monitor the behavior and health of your Red Rili Shrimp regularly. Any signs of stress, disease, or abnormalities should be addressed promptly.

The Red Rili Shrimp is a captivating and low-maintenance addition to any freshwater aquarium. Its vibrant red coloration and unique spotted pattern make it a standout feature in any tank.
