These invertebrates represent a color variation of the popular Rili shrimp, known for their distinct segmented coloration. The term highlights individuals exhibiting a predominantly blue hue alongside the transparent or lighter-colored sections characteristic of the Rili pattern. They are freshwater crustaceans commonly kept in home aquariums.
Their popularity stems from their striking appearance and relatively easy care requirements, making them a favorite among aquarists. These shrimp contribute to a balanced aquarium ecosystem by consuming algae and detritus, helping to maintain water quality. Selective breeding has played a significant role in the development of this coloration, demonstrating the impact of human intervention on ornamental species.
