Crystal red shrimp-

I really like the look of crystal red shrimp so I'm planning to order a dozen or so of the SS or A grade. I'm planning to mix them with red cherry shrimp, will there be any conflict? I'm pretty certain they can't interbreed, I'm just leery about mixing shrimp since my red claw macro/rcs incident lol.

I'm planning to keep a 10 gallon clean up crew only tank.

 

RCS and CRS can be kept together without problem.

Sooooo, what exactly would the be cleaning up after?

 

Themselves. Poopivores and all...

I'd suggest A grade, SS are too expensive, rare, and fragile. A is much more hardy. The more white, they higher the grade of shrimp.

 

I think the higher grade ones look funny, personally.

CRS like soft water and cooler temperatures. I lost a whole tank of them a couple of summers ago when the water temperature got into the 80's.

well it's a breeding tank clean up crew only invited to that party though

I'll probably move them around as needed, its not like I don't have enough tanks to work with.

Yeah I was thinking a/b just because I like the way they look much better. I wanted to have a mix of red and black but I know they'll interbreed, plus I've read that the blacks are actually a throwback from the reds so if they are breeding i'm sure I'll get a handful of them.
