Can Red Fire Shrimp (Lysmata debelius) go together with Black Bee Shrimp (ridina cantonensis see) without breeding with each other?

Yes, they can be. However, what you refer to as "red fire shrimp" is just a selectively bred form of the red cherry shrimp (Neocaridina sp.). Lysmata sp. are all saltwater species and well known to reef aquarists.
