Wow the yellow ones are amazing, I'd definitely chose those The blue ones remind me a lot of Yabbies, so that puts me off them a bit, heh...

those yellow ones are just a strain of cherry shrimp. i would go for those as there hardy and easy to breed. i dont know anything about those blue shrimp apart from there a type ofCaridina shrimp. they wont breed with the yellow cherry shrimp.

assuming the blue ones arent predatory which i doubt then they should live together but you should research the blue shrimp first.

you can get a strain of cherry shrimp that is bright blue however these will crossbreed with the yellow ones.

if you go for the yellow cherry shrimp unless you selectivly breed them then their yellow will fade over generations

YELLOW

how would i go about this? is it as obvious as haveing another tank to separate the brighter coloured ones?

One what would look best on your gravel/sand

thanks, i have a couple amanos, are they ok together? i beleive amanos dont breed in freshwater, or at least the eggs arnt fertile, is this the case for yellows too or are they easy to breed

You may want to be a little careful with those amano shrimp and other, possibly smaller shrimp. I add half a dozen Cherry Red to my tank that already had 2 large Amano in them..gone within 24 hours !

Unfortunately, yes. It would be a shame to see you spend money on Yellow/Blue shrimp and see them potentially be in troblem.
