Shrimp are Painted Fire Red Grade, Mixed with a Fire Red High Grade. Many people wont believe where I got these though, these grade of shrimp cost some $$$. The others are juveniles who haven't formed all color yet, if they don't they just get culled. (put into my other iwagumi)

Petco
BUT I have had this strain for about a year so it took ALOT of culling to get the colors and variations correct

I have a probably silly question...
will all shrimp mate with each other?!

 

[DutchMuch]

No, Not "all shrimp" will mate with eachother. Now do you mean All shrimp like all species? just to clarify then I can further answer the question with detail; just wanna make sure I gotcha right!
