Do you have specific shrimp that you are interested in for which you need to know compatability?

ok here it is: caridina cannot be kept with other caridina, and neocaridina cannot be kept with neocaridina. For example, crystal reds shouldnt be kept with bee or bumblebee shrimp, and cherry shrimp shouldn't be kept with blue pearl shrimp. on the other hand, cherry shrimp and bumblebee shrimp would be fine together. Any other questions?

there are more shrimp then just those two kinds..... there are many that need brackish water to breed.

yeah i know that but they are the most common and are most likely to be bought by a begginer. There is also bamboo, vampire etc, ghost shrimp, and sulewasi shrimp, but i highly doubt that youd get these..

There are a bunch of people selling neocaridina and caridina here on the site in the classifieds.
