Can I put together babaultis color variations? If thay are trully babaulties.
I have Green, "Red Back", "Blue". (red back and blue looks like Indian white banded shrimp on this server, but more red and blue).
green+redback:http://www.wirbellose.de/klotz/babaulti.htm
If they interbreed, how should young one look like? Will color mix or will some blue, red, green?
crossbreeding babaulties colors?

What you are describing are not babaulti color variations. The identification of those shrimp (including the Green Shrimp) was attempted unsuccessfully, so they were all given the name "Caridina cf. babaulti" for now. the "cf." means that they are NOT Caridina babaulti but are closest in morphology to Caridina babaulti. In other words, they are completely different species from each other and can be mixed safely (in most cases) without any crossbreeding occuring.
In your case, you would have to provide pictures of your shrimp so we know what you are talking about since the names of the shrimp you mentioned don't mean anything here (common names are different everywhere).

Thanks for the link. I have those, too, and I can guarantee you that they won't interbreed with any of the other shrimp that some think look like babaultis. These shrimp produce larvae (although very developed ones that remain larvae only a few days) whereas e.g. the Green Shrimp produces pretty much fully developed young.
So, what I said above still applies.
