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.
