Neocaridina in caridina tanks?

[LoachKing1]

What i mean is, do neocaridina davidii live in specialised caridina tanks okay? I know they are hardy and withstand a lot more than caridina, but will neos thrive in water specifically for caridina?

Tangerine tigers can be kept in both (sometimes takes generations to slowly acclimate a colony to neo parameters) but outside of them, Maybe a few rare cases break the rule but NO not usually successfully. The problem is each needs different water hardness for proper shell density. Putting neos in caridina parameters will lead to to soft of shells and caridina in neo parameters will lead to very hard shell, both leading to death before or during molt.
