Anybody knows the compatibility of shrimps?

Can anybody help me on whether I can keep tiger shrimps with:-

1) Red Cherry Shrimps (Neocaridina heteropoda var. Fire Red/Red) ?
2) Crystal Red Shrimps (Caridina cantonensis var. Red)?
3) Rili Shrimps (Caridina cantonensis var. Rili)?
4) Bamboo shrimps (Atyopsis moluccensis)?

Yes, to all of the above. With No.2 being able to breed with tiger

Rili is not Caridina. It's a morph from Cherries thus being neocaridina

[mrbotanyboey]

Will the Rili shrimps breed with the Red Cherry Shrimps then? o.0

I'm worried about the Bamboo shrimps because I heard they're filter feeders & I'm afraid the shrimp larvae might get eaten by them if they are caught in the fan.

Rili will not breed with cherry. Diff variations

But aren't Rili shrimps and Cherry Shrimps both Neocardina?
Species with the same genera can breed no?

[KilliNewbie]

Cherry is var. Red
Rili is var. Rili.

It's different

Yeah but they are still Neocaridina heteropoda so they could?

How about Crystal Bees and Tigers? They are both Caridina cantonensis despite being different varieties?

rili and cherry can breed together .
Crystal Bees and Tigers are both caridina cantonesis and will breed together also.

Yes. They will. And will probably give off dull/brown coloured offspring.

Newborn shrimplets usually won't swim along side with the filter output where bamboo usually hangs.
