    Yes it may, or it may not, depending on what shrimps (yellow you are talking about). As far as i know, they might below to the same familly... hence may causes cross breeding..
    Been awhile since i last kept shrimps/ fishes, please give me your kind guidance!

    Yes from my knowledge they will crossbred. So not so ideal to mix as the offspring may not be nice

    the offspring will be the wild form (meaning the original colour before we selectively bred them to have yellow and brown colour) which is mostly transparent with some brown streaks on them.
