Ideal Tank Mates for Red Rili Shrimp

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.

from 168 reviewsBeautiful colour. Good size. Active and fun to look for and watch. The order came quickly. Will order again.

All shrimp arrived healthy and active with a good variety of colours. Nicely packed as well and the freebies are an added plus. Great value and quality for the price. Thank you

Such pretty little guys I love them I’ve never seen shrimp like these before

My shrimps all arrived happy and healthy such beautiful colors they will be a great new addition to my tan!

Fun little shrimp, good at playing hide and seek, they either love their new tank or have been busy during the shipping, some of them already have eggs, great way to start a colony! Safe shipping with minimal loss

I recently ordered shrimp from cherryshrimpcanada.com, and I’m thrilled to say they all arrived alive and healthy! Many of them even have little yellow eggies, which is such a promising sign. They’re lively and seem to be adjusting well to their new tank.
One small suggestion for improvement, while the buying process was quick and smooth, the shipping could be a bit better. My package arrived quite cold, as it didn’t have any “Live Animal” labels or heating packs, which would have been nice given the chilly nights. I think adding a “Live” sticker or an option to include a heat pack would make a big difference.
That said, I really appreciate the free log and leaves that came with my order, such a nice touch, and a great value for the price! Overall, 10/10 experience, and I’ll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend to fellow shrimp enthusiasts!

I love these guys! Arrived in Manitoba healthy and happy. Just getting them used to their new tank. You folks never let me down. I'm always impressed at how well they are packed.

No issues. All as expected. Received 20 snowballs of both sexes and some variance in age/size. A couple of the females were berried haven't dropped their eggs yet!

Beautiful, healthy shrimp. I received them very quickly

Ordered my first batch from Cherry Shrimp Canada and it will NOT be my last! One even had a belly full of eggs. XOXO

Was very pleased, I received 22 shrimp of 6 different colors plus all the extras that are included. It arrived on time with all the shrimp alive and energetic. I will be ordering again.
Thank You

They arrived on time, a good size and very active.

Arrived healthy and well packaged. One of my favorite new additions, the color really stands out.

Had an issue with an initial order but it was addressed promptly and efficiently. Re ordered and received all the shrimp alive and well. Thank you! Nice thicc shrimps. Highly recommend
