Dark Green Neon Shrimp And Blue Rili Shrimp

[Ellieabbott4]

I have just brought some dark green neon shrimp and some blue rili shrimp. The man at the shop told me that they can live together in the same tank and won't breed with each other just the ones of the same type. Does anyone know if this is true?

The green is a caridina species and the rili is a neocaridina these can be housed together and won't breed. Let me find a article I remember...just a second...okay...here it is...http/shrimpsider.wordpress.com/tag/caridina-and-neocaridina-can-be-kept-together/

Ah that's ok then, thanks for that info. I hope they start breeding with their own species soon
