Orange Rili Shrimp – Vibrant, Hardy, and Peaceful Freshwater Shrimp for Your Aquarium

Add a burst of color to your aquarium with the stunning Orange Rili Shrimp (Neocaridina davidi), a visually striking shrimp species that features a vibrant orange body with unique, semi-transparent sections. With their bright coloration and active nature, these shrimp will bring life and personality to any freshwater tank, making them a popular choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

Not only do Orange Rili Shrimp add beauty to your tank, but they also serve as efficient cleaners, naturally foraging for algae, biofilm, and detritus. Their peaceful temperament and hardy nature make them suitable for community tanks, where they thrive with other non-aggressive species. Whether you're aquascaping, maintaining a planted tank, or simply looking for an engaging and low-maintenance addition, the Orange Rili Shrimp is sure to impress.

Key Features:

  • Vibrant Orange Coloration: Their bright, orange hues and unique semi-transparent pattern make them a stunning focal point in any aquarium

  • Hardy & Easy to Care For: Known for their adaptability, these shrimp are resilient and thrive in a variety of water conditions

  • Natural Algae Eaters: Orange Rili Shrimp help maintain tank cleanliness by consuming algae, biofilm, and leftover food, ensuring a balanced ecosystem

  • Peaceful & Social: These shrimp are peaceful and do well in community tanks with other small, non-aggressive species

  • Perfect for Planted Aquariums: Their striking color and gentle movement make them a great addition to aquascaped tanks and planted aquariums

Care Guidelines:

  • Tank Size: Minimum 10 gallons (ideal for a small group)

  • Water Temperature: 68–78°F (20–26°C)

  • pH Range: 6.5–7.5

  • Diet: Omnivorous – feeds on algae, biofilm, detritus, and leftover food. Supplement their diet with high-quality shrimp pellets, algae wafers, and blanched vegetables

  • Lifespan: 1–2 years with proper care

Tip: Orange Rili Shrimp thrive in tanks with plenty of plants, hiding spots, and soft, gentle water flow. Ensure good water quality with regular water changes, and use a gentle filtration system to prevent these small shrimp from being sucked into the filter. Keep them with peaceful fish that won’t pose a threat to their delicate nature.

Orange Rili Shrimp are an eye-catching addition to any freshwater aquarium. Their striking orange coloration, combined with their peaceful and hardworking nature, makes them a fantastic choice for those looking to add both beauty and function to their tank.
