Bloody Mary Rili Shrimp

The Bloody Mary Rili Shrimp is a selectively bred Neocaridina variant that merges the deep wine-red coloration of the Bloody Mary line with the transparent midsection characteristic of Rili patterning. The result is a two-toned shrimp with rich wine-red head and tail sections flanking a clear, glassy midband — a combination that is both rare and visually striking. Retaining the robust hardiness of all Neocaridina, Bloody Mary Rilis adapt well to a broad range of water conditions and breed readily in planted aquariums. Their distinctive pattern and unusual color make them a standout addition to shrimp collections and multi-morph Neocaridina displays.
