Your "goldenback" shrimp will breed with the cherry shrimps, you probably will end with colourless wild cherries. Both type wont crossrbeed with PRL. Its better if can let the tank cycle longe and monitor the parameter. You need temperature like 24-25degrees for CRS.

Bro. The root from that cut spiky plant will come out from the spiky part one.. so plant as low as possible.. but its growth is very boring.. just one long stem shoot up very high.. my shoot up so high that I took all out and gave away.
