ORANGE RILLI SHRIMP

Orange rili shrimp are a Neocaridina variety, just like the beginner's classic red cherry shrimp. Their care is similar to that of their cherry cousins, which means they are equally easy to keep and a wonderful choice if you're just getting started.

To keep orange rili shrimp succesfully, all you really need is an aquarium of at least 5 gallons, a filter, and some decor and hides. Filter-wise, anything that isn't too powerful will work, but if you're not going for a sponge filter be sure to use a filter guard. You don't want shrimp to get sucked in there! A heater can be used if the room temperature isn't stable; even though orange rili shrimp are quite sturdy, they don't respond well to sudden temperature swings.
