Green Rili Shrimp
Neocaridina is a very popular genus of dwarf shrimp, available in many different selectively-bred colour forms, such as the ubiquitous Cherry Shrimp. They are very easy to keep and breed. Most fish can eat babies, so if you want a high-production colony we recommend keeping them alone; however, in a well-planted aquarium babies can still survive with fish and adults make perfect additions to communities of small, peaceful fish. Some of the best choices for fish include small cyprinids such as Boraras and Celestial Pearl danios, dwarf Corydoras sp, and kuhlii loaches.

The Green Rili Shrimp are active and colorful. I kept them with a few dwarf corydoras and they get along well. The tank looks more lively now. Easy to care for and they reproduce regularly.
Blake Mills –
They are peaceful and don’t bother other fish. I noticed they clean the tank by eating algae. I added some plants and they seem to enjoy the environment.
Sarah Sharp –
Great addition to my community tank. They stay active and don’t cause any stress to the other fish. I’ve seen several new shrimp hatch from the adults.
