Carbon Rili Shrimp – Mixed
You will receive Carbon Rili shrimp of mixed grade, also known as Black Rili Shrimp. The Carbon Rili is a black shrimp that generally has a clear midsection on its body. The term rili means that the shrimp is missing color between the head and tail, making it a less common shrimp. We usually ship both imported and USA bred carbon rili shrimp at about half an inch or bigger. Carbons are one of the hardiest shrimp and do really well in many conditions. Whether you buy USA Bred or Imported, you will not be disappointed with Flip Aquatics shrimp because we guarantee them healthy.
Please Note: Most of our Carbon Rili shrimp have a blue tint instead of a clear mid section.

Received a mix of Carbon Rili shrimp and they were active and healthy right after arrival. The blue tint is noticeable but the shrimp seem to adapt well to my tank. Good for beginners looking for hardy shrimp.

The shrimp arrived quickly and were in good condition. A few had a blue tint, which was expected. They are active and seem to be thriving in my 10-gallon tank.

Ordered USA bred shrimp and they were larger than expected. The rili trait is clear and the shrimp are very hardy. Easy to care for and great for a community tank.

Shrimp arrived in good numbers but some were smaller than half an inch. The blue tint was more common than expected. Still, they are surviving well in the tank.
