The red rili shrimp are vibrant and active. They quickly adapted to my tank and started grazing on algae. Easy to care for and very peaceful. Great addition to a community shrimp tank.

I bought a small group and they’ve been thriving. The red bands stand out well in the tank. They don’t seem to compete with other shrimp and are a joy to watch.
