I think it is impossible for a mammal to breed with a piece of red crystal. (Sorry Had TO Get That Out of My System)

Anyhow, I believe if the species of shrimps are able to breed in the first place, then maybe you're able to do that eventually, but from what I heard about selective breeding and evolution for those of you that believe there is such a thing, it takes many many generations afterwards to show any sign, hundreds...maybe thousands.

But then again what do I know :P

According to this site about CRS:
This shrimp will readily cross with the Bee Shrimp (Crystal Black Shrimp), Chinese Zebra Shrimp, and the Tiger Shrimp. The Bumblebee Shrimp might also cross with this shrimp, but it is less likely to do so since it seems to be a completely different species. Either way, most shrimp species should not be housed together to avoid possible hybrids.
