just curious (UPDATE PICS)


Can a Red Rili throw back a cherry? I was just sitting by my tank and noticed a small solid red among the Rili shrimp. He is not baby small but pretty small. I don't have a concept yet of how fast they grow.

It is no biggy, I was just curious.

Update. Added a new response with pics of him.

It would largely depend on genetics. They are both neocaridinas so anything is possible. Some of my rilis exhibit thick red patches mid body. With Rilis, it varies all over the map.

You're a bunch of goofballs. That's why I like this part of the forum so much. I can't imagine the plant-only people have such fun.

Looks like a lower grade cherry to me, more than a rili.
