Green Rili Shrimp

Green Rili Shrimp pair green heads and tails with a translucent center section. This uncommon Rili pattern adds subtle, unusual color to planted freshwater aquariums.

These live dwarf freshwater shrimp spend much of the day grazing on naturally occurring algae and biofilm. They thrive in a mature, stable aquarium with live plants, moss, wood, rockwork, and other sheltered areas. Supplement their natural grazing with a quality shrimp food as needed, taking care not to overfeed.

Pattern placement and green intensity naturally vary between individual shrimp and can shift as they acclimate.
