Re: freshwater shrimp compatibilty
Red Cherry shrimp are Neocaridina heteropoda, they have also been bred in other colors like yellow. They will interbreed easily but you will probably end up with wild colored offspring.

Re: freshwater shrimp compatibilty
Just curious, what's wrong with them interbreeding? The worst thing I could see happening is you end up with a tank full of tye-dyed, peace-loving hippie shrimp!!
 Which would be epic IMO.

Re: freshwater shrimp compatibilty
For example, if you mixed your Red Cherry shrimp with Yellow shrimp.....their offspring would revert back to the shrimp's original color......brown. And not a pretty brown, either.

Re: freshwater shrimp compatibilty
So, they don't exactly work like guppies? I'd end up with a tank full of turds with legs.
