Blue Rili Shrimp are a fascinating and visually striking variety of freshwater shrimp, prized for their unique coloration and patterns. Their combination of deep blue and black hues creates a stunning visual effect, making them a standout addition to any aquarium. They exhibit a dark blue head and tail, with striking blue dots in the middle part of their body, enhancing their overall visual appeal. These shrimp are graded based on the clarity and cleanliness of their color patterns, with the ideal Blue Rili Shrimp displaying a clear, transparent central section flanked by vibrant blue and black. Originating from the Neocaridina Davidi line, Blue Rili Shrimp have been selectively bred to achieve their distinctive blue color and characteristic clear midsection. While Neocaridina shrimp come in various colors, it is generally advised not to mix different color variants to maintain the purity of the genes. Mixing different colors often results in offspring reverting to a more natural, wild brown coloration.
