I bought a small group of Green Rili Shrimp for my planted tank. They’ve been active and colorful since arrival. The pattern stands out well against the green plants. Very easy to care for and don’t need much food.

The shrimp look beautiful in my tank. I didn’t have to feed them much—just a little algae from the plants. They seem to be getting along well with my other shrimp and fish.

Great addition to my freshwater setup. The green and translucent body is very eye-catching. I love how they move around the plants and hide in the rocks when not active.
