Green Rili Shrimp - Neocaridina davidi

Green Rili shrimp are a novelty in aquaristics and were bred by a breeder from Taiwan. Their peculiarity is transparent areas, which are arranged slightly differently in each Green Rili. Very often the animals have a colored head and abdomen, but there are also other drawing forms. The females of the Green Rili shrimp are usually more vividly colored than the males, and they also grow somewhat larger, up to 3 cm.

As a variant, presumably from the Green Jade , the Green Rili can be socialized with this color form without problems - wild-colored hybrids, as they can fall in combination with other color forms, are not to be feared here in the offspring. With other shrimp species you can also keep the peaceful group animals together, provided that the requirements for the water values match. An initial stocking of 10 to 20 animals per species is recommended. If you want to keep the Green Rili Shrimp with fish, you should make sure that the fish are not predatory and also not too curious and too hectic. With crayfish, freshwater crabs, snails and mussels you can of course also socialize this shrimp.

The Green Rili shrimp is very easy to breed, the animals are very eager to reproduce and do not pursue their offspring. After three to four weeks the females release their young. During the gestation period they carry their golden-yellow eggs under their abdomen, where they provide oxygen-rich water by fanning them with their webbed legs. The young do not go through larval stages and are immediately self-sufficient in the aquarium.

In addition to biofilms and algae deposits, Green Rili Shrimp, as scavengers and omnivores , also eat food scraps or dead plant matter, thus acting as health police in the aquarium. Green Rili shrimps are of course also very happy to eat shrimp food specially adapted to their needs and are especially grateful for special protein food given twice a week. Otherwise, a predominantly plant-based diet is appropriate. Brown autumn leaves are a good permanent food for shrimps. It can be left in the aquarium because it does not negatively affect the water values.
