Black Rili Shrimp Coloration
Transform your freshwater aquarium with the unique and captivating Black Rili Shrimp, a striking Neocaridina shrimp variety featuring a stunning contrast of deep black patches and translucent sections. Their bold, patterned coloration makes them a visually intriguing addition to any aquascaped setup. Each freshwater shrimp showcases a unique pattern, ensuring a dynamic and ever-changing display in your tank.
Black Rili Shrimp Size
Black Rili Shrimp grow to an average size of 1 to 1.25 inches, making them perfect for nano and planted aquariums. Their small size allows them to explore dense vegetation and hardscape structures with ease, adding movement and character to your aquatic environment.
Black Rili Shrimp Behavior
These live aquarium shrimps are peaceful, active, and social, frequently seen grazing on biofilm, algae, and organic matter. Keeping them in groups of 6 to 12 encourages natural behaviors and helps establish a thriving, self-sustaining colony. Their constant foraging makes them excellent tank cleaners, contributing to a balanced ecosystem.
Black Rili Shrimp Care Requirements
As a hardy Neocaridina shrimp variety, Black Rili Shrimp thrive in a wide range of water parameters, making them ideal for both beginner and experienced shrimp keepers. They prefer stable, well-cycled tanks with temperatures between 65° - 80°F, a pH range of 6.5-7.5, and clean, mineral-rich water. A well-planted tank with freshwater plants such as Java Moss, Anubias, and Marimo Moss Balls provides essential hiding spots and grazing surfaces.
Black Rili Shrimp Compatibility
Black Rili Shrimp are excellent community tank inhabitants and can coexist with other peaceful Neocaridina shrimp, freshwater snails, and small, non-aggressive live fish. They are best kept with other low-maintenance invertebrates and should not be housed with large or predatory fish that may see them as food.
Black Rili Shrimp Diet
To maintain vibrant coloration and optimal health, Black Rili Shrimp require a well-balanced diet of high-quality shrimp food. They naturally graze on biofilm and algae but benefit from supplemental feeding with sinking shrimp pellets, blanched vegetables (such as spinach and zucchini), and Indian almond leaves. A nutrient-rich diet enhances their unique patterns and boosts overall vitality.
