Howdy Nerms!

So here it is a question I am throwing out into the universe.  (Sorry if it has been asked before, I searched but no luck.)

Anyone keep NEOcaridina and Caridina together in same tank?

You thoughts and comments are appreciated, please discuss.

I added caridina babaulti to my neocaridina tank and they are coexisting quite peacefully. I don't think it's a good idea to mix most caridina (like crystal red shrimp) with neocaridina because they thrive in drastically different water parameters; for example, bee shrimp/crystal shrimp will not breed in the harder water that neocaridina like. Amano Shrimp and Caridina Babaulti are two of the very few exceptions to that logic, as far as I understand it.
