will they fight and kill each other or breed? thanks. also having too many shrimp in the tank, will it make the tank water dirty (i.e. for a 10 gallon, i put in 70 shrimp will it raise the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate levels significantly?). thanks.

They would definitely require a bigger tank which has cycled and ideally filtered using an internal or external filter, with decent decor, plants and substrate to house that many shrimp

As invert phil stated,
A Cycled Tank & Filter is a must.

RCS, Amano, & Ghost/Glass Shrimp can be housed in the same tank.
A 10gal tank would be a little on the small side to house 70 Shrimp.
Amano & Ghost/Glass shrimp grow to a large size compared to RCS. I would suggest a larger tank, if you plan on housing these 3 species together.
