Shrimp Breeding

[Juggler75]

When I first considered keeping shrimp I discovered a chart/table somewhere on the net that highlighted which shrimp will breed with others and risk offspring revert back to natural state. Now I have a aqua one 620 with 30 or so cherry shrimp and would like to add something else to it but cant find the chart to aid my research. Any one have a easy reference guide available. Also any other stock recommended. Quite lightly planted so far, I'll do it low tech and slowly

I'm sure if you google shrimp compatibility chart then it'll bring one up.

I have bumblee bee shrimp in with my cherries and they don't interbreed (bumblee bee shrimp are the same variety as red crystal shrimp).

are you from Newcastle? I've not even seen bee shrimp in the shops; however there is a member on here called Bardbj who breeds them (local collection only but he's in Newcastle). I've got mine from Bardbj and they are lovely things; I have no spare though as mine haven't bred (well I have had 2 babies). I moved them to a tank of their own when I saw the babies and the tank I think is too small for them to breed in; although they'll be moving to a bigger tank over the next few weeks and *fingers crossed* we'll get loads of babies .

Sent him a pm but no reply yet. Will give it some time before looking for another source. Not bothered about grade, lower the better really as they'll have more stripes won't they?
