Ideal Tank Mates for Red Rili Shrimp
Compatible Species | Avoid These Species |

Breeding Information
Red Rili Shrimp are prolific breeders under the right conditions. Females carry eggs under their abdomen, and after a few weeks, fully formed juvenile shrimp emerge. To ensure successful breeding, provide stable water parameters, dense plants, or moss for baby shrimp to hide and feed. Their offspring inherit the stunning red-and-translucent patterns of their parents.

Wondering only one thing if the shrimp colors could've been packed separately but there wonderful and healthy

Berry's on them even going for jade and yellow next

beautiful livestock, excellent customer service

I have bought several times, the customer service is excellent!! Thank you! :-)

Shrimp arrived healthy and alive, super fast service and shipping.

Received my latest order, again VERY IMPRESSED.
I did feel respected by there being a extra added because it's sometimes hard for every little shrimp to make a big trip and I did, in fact, have one arrive 'expired'. The others were in excellent health :-)
I am further EXTREMELY impressed with CherryShrimpCanada's customer service; I could not say enough about how good that part has been, even when I had an issue with my first order - absolutely stellar and caring. THAT SAYS A LOT, when you have an issue and a seller tries this hard to show caring and help.
I have now ordered multiple times and do not hesitate, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you!! :-)
