I've had about 24 yellow shrimp in the tank now for just under 3 weeks. I already have 4 berried females. Here are some pics:

Nice! I love my RCS, but I want yellows and blues as well at some point.

The type of shrimp I am undecided on, but I think I want more than one kind that are compatible and won't inter-breed - if that can exist in the same tank without dividing. Been looking at different ones and compatibles. Any suggestions? I have about 50 Red Cherries in my 75g Guppy tank right now.

It was disturbing to read that ghost shrimp eat other shrimp babies...I guess it is easier for them to sneal up on them, lol. Won't be getting those.
For a start, you can try crystal red shrimps. However water parameters and temperature are very important. Do take note that for breeding, best to keep temperature at 25 deg and ph at 6.3-6.5.

You can see some pictures on the shrimps i have now in my blog.

Looking good! It would be cool if red+yellow=firey orange! But I'm certain this is not how it works.
