I just got some RCS for my shrimp tank. I know if I get any other neos they will cross breed and make brown shrimp. I dont want that. What are some types of shrimp I could get that would not cross breed with them? Preferably cheaper and I already have amano and ghost shrimp.
 
you can get Malawa shrimp, they dont cross with anything and is relatively cheap.

I have TigerShrimp with my RCS and an Amano ... Tiger shrimp are very cool looking and will not interbreed with either of the shrimp in your tank. I bought 10 from AlphaProBreeders.com for around $30 + shipping. Tigers should do fine with your water parameters.
