keeping Cherries and CRS together

[FaRnieGuy]

is it possible to keep them together?
as in will they cross breed? i remembered i read from a website that they will, but the website cannot be found already.. so i hope to seek information from fellow shrimp lovers...

i once read a reply by an expert(owning crs), mentioned that it is safe to keep crs and cherry together. They will cohabit well and will not cross breed. but crs will not be as hardy compared to cherry.

Correct, they will not cross breed and they will coexist easily, so no worries in that regard.

Here is a link that will help clear things up. Shrimp of the same species can cross otherwise not.

hmmm.. i have 52 Cherries , 5 Grade C CRS , 1 Grade B Diamond in my 2ft shrimp tank now...
using a lower grade CRS to test water out... let see how things goes...
got them from C328, when i asked about the water pH that they are using to store the CRS and Diamond, they actually told me that it's pH 7... kind of strange, i thought CRS needs slightly acidic waters to survive... i guess neutral pH is also ok for them...
