I am very mesmerised by their wonderful colour. Are they as easy as cherry to keep? Wonder is it easy to breed them? Any special water conditions?
In fact I checked the price out, woah real expensive. To make it even more painful, you pay so much for just 1 piece.
Anyone knows where I can get a good deal for these species?

Try to get a hang of keeping the cheaper grade ones like Grade C or even lesser... They are much more sensitive than cherries...
If you can keep cherries alive and breeding in a tank, then that particular tank is stable enough for crystal reds...
Any small ammonia increase in the water will kill your CRS...
And CRS grade A is usually that price you see...
I manage to breed yamatos and cherry before.
But I tried tiger and bee, was never successful.
What's the best temperature for crystal? Can we keep them with cardinals?

i'm having CRS in my tank with temperature hovering between 25-27degree with fan only. So far no problem.
Water condition plays a major part in keeping CRS too.
Keeping with cardinals? I would advise not too, because they would probably feast on your shrimplets

make sure nitrates and ammonia are at a minimum as well.
