Orange Rili shrimp

Orange Rili shrimp has a beautiful orange and translucent white coloration and is a popular choice for hobbyists of freshwater shrimp and is relatively simple to breed and maintain.

Orange Rili Shrimp stand out beautifully against a dark substrate and are a striking and dynamic addition to a freshwater aquarium. As they clean out waste in the tank, these shrimp are very active. In a planted tank, they particularly enjoy eating algae and biofilm that naturally occur. As a result, they may require little upkeep; in fact, they can even assist you in cleaning your tank!

Orange Rili Shrimp can survive quite a few different water parameters, and if they are kept well, they can live for up to two years. Since these shrimp are eager to reproduce, they are an excellent option for people who are new to breeding freshwater shrimp. Due to their versatility and non-aggressive nature, Orange Rili Shrimp are excellent companion fish for tanks.

II. You would love the fish because…..

Orange Rili Shrimp will give your aquarium a splash of color. These shrimp are fun to watch, clean your tank, and look great! The white parts of Orange Rili Shrimp frequently appear translucent, giving them a striking orange-and-white appearance. They reproduce quickly and are very active, like the majority of dwarf shrimp. Algae and waste can be effectively removed from your aquarium by a colony of these shrimp.

These are freshwater shrimp that are able to thrive in almost any aquarium with freshwater. They are widely used for algae control and waste management in large aquariums as well as in planted and community tanks. In most cases, we ship young adults who are already breeding.

Because Orange Rili Shrimp and Sakura Red Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) are of the same species, their care requirements are essentially the same. Orange Rili Shrimp can thrive in virtually any freshwater aquarium thanks to their remarkable adaptability.  They are also able to achieve the brightest coloration thanks to the dark substrate and low-intensity lighting.

III. Is this fish species peaceful or hostile?

A peaceful herbivore for a planted freshwater tank is this one. They cannot be combined with any crustacean or fish that are nippy, aggressive, or predatory (such as loaches, puffers, crabs, or crayfish, for example).

IV. Species compatibility

Freshwater shrimp of different species from the same genus should NOT be kept together. However, together, like: Cardinal shrimp (Caridina dennerli) and amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata)
