Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; rili pattern is variable, cull for clean banding. A red rili Neocaridina with solid red ends and a clear translucent center. Easy keeping: stable hard neutral water, mature planted tank, biofilm plus shrimp food. Copper sensitive — no copper medications. Regular culling maintains the crisp two-tone pattern.
