yes they will todd they are both neocardinia so it sounds like a good time to set up another shrimp tank :)

I was hoping the blueberry would be solid blue. I have at least one big brown female among my cherry shrimp that looks almost like that, must be another selectively bred color variant.
I really can't see any significant diffference (from pics online) between red cherry and the fire red or sakura lines. The rili and yellow types are at least clearly different. If I do set up another shrimp tank it will be for the yellow ones. I like the tiger shrimp, but don't have acidic water or the inclination to maintain it just for them.

The blueberry are actually a wild morph.

As for the sakura, its obvious in person, their red rather than being a dull brick is more of a vibrant scarlet and quite opaque, they are just nice cherry shrimp. I got them because they were on special and I don't have to charge an arm and a leg. They are just really nice cherry shrimp. I am with ya on all the "grading" and names for cherry shrimp these days.

Yellows are probably my favorite neocaridina. i am also working with pumpkins (orange) that show a lot of promise they are just atking their time getting started breeding, lol.

There are a few issues with sulawesi, the main one being misinformation.

They need VERY warm water (82+). The source water where they come from is mainly very high pH but very low hardness despite internet experts claiming they like hard water. They import horrendously. THey are TINY (adult males are .5"). They are light sensitive (most come from dark rocky waters) and their needs make them totally unsuitable to house with most other shrimp, and their size makes them unsuitable to house with even tiny fish. Becasue of this, they are just not my cup of tea. If you want a bunch of tiny colorful shrimp that hide because they like the dark but look great in pictures, they may be for you! :D

Ya, the tiny size and much higher price for the Sulawesi cardinals (I'm not THAT crazy about any shrimp) are what put me off in the first place. I already something that hides and looks good in pics, and fancy pleco's are less trouble to keep.
Sooo many people doing cherry shrimp (of whatever grade) these days I'm just working on establishing a tankful of cheap ones for occasional feeders. They're coming along nicely, no problems with them breeding.
I tried the CPO a few years ago, saw 2 wee babies in the tank at one point, but none ever survived or grew out and the adults died off. Same results with cajun dwarf crayfish in another tank later, no breeding and the adults only lasted a couple months. Water conditions were fine, no clue what the issue was.
The pumpkin shrimp sound interesting, I presume they're neocaridina too?

Yes she does. I was up in PA at Rachel's today and she has quite a few nice fish and shrimp. I think she's getting a new shipment of new stuff in a couple of days.
