Quick note for anyone eyeing the rilis: they're TDS 140 raised, same as my blue dreams, so acclimating from a similar range is easy. Auction ends in 3 days.

Nice that you list the TDS. Do the rilis hold their color okay if you move them from 140 up to something like 180?

They'll hold color fine, but I'd raise it slowly over a couple weeks rather than jump it. Moving up is easier on them than moving down, just don't do it all at once.

Do the rilis ship in the same box size as your other shrimp orders? Thinking of also grabbing a bag of the blue dreams so I can combine.

Auction ends in 3 days, so you'd wait for that one to finish before checkout. Combined shipping happens at checkout when you have more than one of my listings, so grab the blue dreams whenever.

Are the rilis sorted by size at all or is it a straight scoop from the colony? Thinking of starting a small tank for the snails to keep company.

Listing says mixed sizes with young berried females likely, so expect a spread from tiny juveniles up to adults. Not sorted beyond that.

Not that it matters for me, but good call asking about combining, shrimp boxes usually save a lot that way.

Quick note for anyone watching the rili auction: no bids yet, starts at $48 and it ends in 3 days. Mixed sizes, so expect a spread of juveniles up to adults.

Do the berried females come with the colony or are they just likely? Thinking of bidding for a spare tank.

Listing says mixed sizes with young berried females likely, so no promise on exact numbers. Expect a spread from juveniles to adults.

Bid placed. Been wanting oranges for my shrimp tank, hope the berried ones show up.

Thanks for the bid. Feed lightly the first week and keep the lights low, they settle faster that way.

Good to know on the lights. I'll be setting up a small tank for these, so dim and light feeding it is. Might put a bid in tonight.

Quick note for the oranges, TDS in my racks is around 140 so anything from 120 to 180 is an easy move. Just drip them in slow.

Good to know on the TDS range, mine sits around 160 so that works. Bidding tonight.

Listing says young berried females are likely, so some may already be carrying. Beyond that it depends on how settled they are in your water, so keep the TDS steady and don't chase it.

thanks, that's what I was hoping for. TDS here is steady so I'll keep it boring.

Listing says mixed sizes with young berried females likely. So a spread of ages, not all adults.

Good looking pattern separation on these, bidding.

Listing says young berried females are likely, so some may be carrying. Whether they hold or drop depends on the box and the temp swing, so I can't promise it either way.

Eleven bids already, this one is moving. Hoping the berried ones hold through the box, mine always drop at least a couple.

drops happen with berried ones in every box i've gotten, i just count it as a bonus if any hold. thirteen bids is wild for twenty rili though.

Thirteen bids for twenty rili, someone's going to have a happy colony. Do the mixed sizes include any really tiny ones or are they all at least juvenile?

Listing says mixed sizes with young berried females likely. Message me if you want me to describe the smallest ones, I don't want to guess a size range here.

Fair enough on not guessing sizes. Are they ok to ship midweek or do you only send early in the week?

Replying to brackishbabe: the listing doesn't state shipping days, so message me and I'll tell you what I can do for your zip. Listing covers the twenty rili, mixed sizes, young berried females likely.

Just placed a bid, twenty rili is a good start for my spare 10 gallon.

Listing says young berried females likely, so I can't promise any specific female will be carrying on arrival. Message me if you want to talk through how I pack them.

38 bids on twenty rili, wow. shrimplord, are they all about the same size or is it a real spread from tiny to adult?

Listing says mixed sizes with young berried females likely, so expect a spread. I don't want to promise exact proportions, message me if you want to talk through it.

40 bids on a starter colony, this one is going to the wire. good luck everyone.

Watching this one close out, 41 bids is wild for twenl rili. Good luck everyone.
