The Blue Rili Shrimp are vibrant and active. I kept them with a small group of Celestial Pearl Danios, and they’ve been thriving for over six months. The tank looks much more lively now.

Great addition to my freshwater setup. They don’t seem to stress the fish, and the blue color stands out well. I’ve noticed they’re active during the day and hide at night.
