Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; rili pattern (clear mid-section) is variable and needs culling. A rili-patterned Neocaridina with black coloration broken by a translucent mid-body band. Easy care: stable hard neutral water, mature planted tank, algae and supplemental food. Copper sensitive — avoid copper meds. Cull off-pattern fry to keep the rili look consistent.
