Blue Rili Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi), Tank-Bred

In addition to several other Rili varieties, we carry extremely high quality specimens of the Blue Rili Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi).  All of our Blue Rili Shrimp are young, breeding age adults and we are already seeing excellent fry production at our facility.   Care for this shrimp is identical to all varieties of Cherry, Neon Yellow, Blue Velvet, Sapphire, Blue/Black Diamond, Chocolate, Snowball, and Rili shrimp.  It is comparably durable as well.   This shrimp is a scavenger and is very useful in planted and nano aquariums.  The bulk of its diet is biofilm, algae, and decaying plant matter so it will work diligently to clean up the waste in any aquarium.  It feeds constantly, so it displays constant activity.  In a less mature aquarium, it should be fed high quality flake and mini pellet dry foods with high algae/spirulina/plant content.     BREEDER COMBO PACK: We also offer a "Breeder Combo Pack" for Blue Rili Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi). This is a combo pack designed for optimal breeding results to help you quickly start a breeding colony of Blue Rili Shrimp.  It includes 10 female shrimp and 5 male shrimp, which ship out as breeding age young adults that range from 1/2 to 1 inch in length. All shrimp are bagged together in one bag. To purchase this pack, select the "Breeder Combo Pack" option at the top of this page.   What We Like About This Shrimp: Beautiful striped blue coloration Completely peaceful with all non-aggressive tankmates Safe with all plants Excellent scavenger   RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: Minimum tank size: 2 gallons, recommended 10 gallon minimum for a colony Temperature: 64° - 78° F (17.8° - 25.5° C) pH: 6.8 - 7.5 dGH: 6 - 15 dKH: 0 - 10  TDS: 180 - 400   CARE GUIDELINES: Diet: Scavenger that feeds continually.  Requires very little feeding in a well-established aquarium containing algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter.
