Mustafa (or anyone), would any of the following shrimps interbreed together?

Cardina babaulti and Crystal Red shrimps

Red Cherry Shrimps and Taiwan blue (what family does Taiwan blue actually belong to?)

Thank you.

Green Shrimp and Crystal Reds don't interbreed.

"Taiwan Blue" is just a misnomer (the shrimp is not even close to blue in color) for some mixed imports of Neocaridina sp. from China and Taiwan. All the Neocaridina I know of (including the Red Cherry Shrimp) interbreed, so I would keep the apart if you want to maintain pure species/strains.
