Orange Rili shrimp thrive in standard Neocaridina parameters, with a pH above 7. Any inert substrate will work well in their habitat. Providing natural cover and surface area for biofilm to grow—using materials like , , and—will benefit both these shrimp and their offspring. Including mosses and other in their tank setup is also recommended. They enjoy consuming NorthFin foods, biofilm, and algae.

The orange coloration is striking and adds a lot of visual interest to my tank. They are active and seem to enjoy the algae and biofilm. I’ve included moss and driftwood, and they’ve been thriving for several months.

These shrimp are colorful and peaceful. I kept them in a standard 10-gallon tank with a pH above 7. They eat the algae and biofilm naturally, and I don’t need to feed them much.
