Neocaridina davidi
Origin: Taiwan (captive-bred)
The Carbon Rili Shrimp is a deep, smoky-black rili variant of Neocaridina davidi, displaying bold dark-colored head and tail segments separated by a clear, transparent midsection. Its high-contrast two-tone appearance makes it a standout addition to planted tanks, particularly when grouped with red or blue shrimp for maximum visual contrast. As easy to keep and breed as any Neocaridina variety, it is a popular choice for shrimp hobbyists seeking dramatic patterning.
Maintain stable water chemistry with neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Feed dedicated shrimp foods, biofilm, and blanched vegetables. Provide dense planting and hiding spaces for molting shrimp. Keep separate from other Neocaridina morphs if maintaining true color forms.
