I will add a picture to this post of a shrimp in my 55g tank  its ALOT darker then all the others, and has a skunk like line down the centre of it body.

I have the tank mixed with CRS grade A and CBS grade A.  I know the two will cross breed, and they have.  I have some juvi mixed red and black crystals.

Do you think the red cherrys cross breed with the crs or cbs?  Or do you think the few like this in the tank are just more colorful stains of cherrys?

Let me know

It's just a mature female - the stripe isn't uncommon.
There's a good list at petshrimp.com for compatible shrimp that won't crossbreed.

Just curious, why would you want them to crossbreed?

I did not plan to cross breed I did not think the crystals would mix but the did, and I knew the cherrys would not cross with the crystals.

To be honest I like the black and red crystal mix its a nice cross halh red and half black lines. I will try and get a picture but have to find them.
