Hi, i am from Singapore and new to this forum

i recently set up a small cherry shrimp tank and thought of introducing some RCS into the tank too.
i now have 10 cherry in a 2 gallon tank and yet to buy the RCS.

1. Can they be kept together since the cherries seem bigger than the RCS.
2. Are the 2 shrimp types hard to breed and will they cross breed?
3. And wats the lifespan of the 2 type of shrimps?

Just so you know, the normal lingo on this forum is that RCS = Red Cherry Shrimp. So your question does not make sense, you seem to be asking if you can add red cherry shrimp to a red cherry shrimp tank.

Are you talking about Crystal Red Shrimp? If so, those are normally identified as CRS.

Please clarify exactly your question and I am sure someone here can help you.

Oh, and welcome!!
