Breeding Information

Blue Rili Shrimp are prolific breeders in a stable tank environment. Females carry eggs under their abdomen, and after a few weeks, juvenile shrimp emerge fully formed. To encourage breeding, maintain consistent water conditions and provide dense plants or moss for baby shrimp to hide and feed. The offspring inherit the vivid blue and translucent coloration of their parents.
