Blue Carbon Rili Shrimp

The Blue Carbon Rili Shrimp is a beautiful and unique freshwater dwarf shrimp variety that combines deep blue and black coloration with translucent areas along the body. This striking pattern makes them stand out in any planted aquarium, especially against green plants and natural aquascapes. Their vibrant colors and active behavior bring constant movement and life to the tank.

Like other Neocaridina shrimp, Blue Carbon Rilis are peaceful and thrive in groups. They do well in planted aquariums with plenty of hiding spaces, such as moss, driftwood, and rock structures. These shrimp are excellent algae eaters and scavengers, helping to keep the tank clean by feeding on biofilm, leftover food, and decaying plant matter.

They are hardy and adaptable, making them a great choice for both beginners and experienced shrimp keepers. Stable water parameters and regular maintenance are key to their health and successful breeding.
