Received the Green Rili Shrimp and they immediately started cleaning the substrate. Their green color is very noticeable in a planted tank. Easy to care for and very active. Great addition to my beginner aquarium.

The shrimp are vibrant and healthy. I noticed the green patches with slight blue tones. They don’t seem to stress in the water and are active during the day. Perfect for a low-maintenance tank.

They arrived quickly and look healthy. The green color is quite unique and stands out in my tank. A bit shy at first, but they settled in well after a week. Would recommend to anyone starting with shrimp.
