im soon to have som Neocaridina denticulata sinensis the wildform i was thinking of putting them together with my cherries (Neocaridina denticulata sinensis "red" would they make hybrids?
how would they look like?

i also have some tigers and bumblebees in the same tank would they make hybrids?

Denticulata wild+red will make wild offspring. (I did not try it, but RCS is mutation of wild form and I think that recessive).
There Is also possibility of crossbreeding between tigers and BB. Offsping will look like ungly BB.

Hi,
the Caridina and Neocaridina species can not crossbred. There are tiny but importnat differences in their anatomy. So your wild cherry shrimps will breed with the reallly red cherry shrimps and you will get lots of wild grey or colorless shrimps. But they won't crossbreed with your bumblebee or tiger shrimps.

Robert

And what about the tigers and bumbles?
I think crossbreeding is possible here !

Is this a wild form of cherry? Just curious because I have one tank full of deep red cherries, but my other tank began to slowly show more clear and slimmer cherries regardless of sex. So it seems to follow what you guys have explained.

To me that looks like a male cherry shrimp, male cherry shrimps are almost colourless but has faint vertical stripes on the body like in your pic and females are much redder and solid in colour and of course the body shape is totally different.... I think the wild male form is totally colourless/transparent. :)
