Here's one species list from me-
Shrimp Name- Crystal Black Shrimp
Shrimp Scientific Name-Caridina cantonensis sp Bee
Size- Max. I have seen is up to 0.8inches
Water parameters - such as ph, tds etc.- Kept at an Ph of 6.5-6.7 with a tds around 120-200ppm. But please keep it constant, with no such fluctuations.
Water temperature - For better offspring survival best is to keep under 25c.
Breeding- Once the water is good and they are happy they will readily breed. The female usually carries the eggs for around 26-28 days and after that you have offspring.
Feeding- A good mix of vegetable diet and and protein will do wonder, and also helps to bring their colour.

Shrimp Name- Crystal Red Shrimp
Shrimp Scientific Name-Caridina cantonensis sp Red
Size- Max. I have seen is up to 0.8inches
Water parameters - such as ph, tds etc.- Kept at an Ph of 6.5-6.7 with a tds around 120-200ppm. But please keep it constant, with no such fluctuations.
Water temperature - For better offspring survival best is to keep under 25c.
Breeding- Once the water is good and they are happy they will readily breed. The female usually carries the eggs for around 26-28 days and after that you have offspring.
Feeding- A good mix of vegetable diet and and protein will do wonder, and also helps to bring their color.

P.S.- I have personally seen that crystal red are less forgiving when it comes to water parameters and also, its better to keep crystal red and black separate to maintain good breeding line, because black being the aggressive gene can have effect on the red color.

Shrimp Name- SnowBall Shrimp
Shrimp Scientific Name-Neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensis var. white
Size- Max. I have seen is up to 0.4inches
Water parameters - such as ph, tds etc.- Kept at an Ph of 6.5-6.7 with a tds around 120-200ppm, seen them tolerate higher tds also around 400+ also. But as most shrimps prefer provide clean and stable water.
Water temperature - For better offspring survival best is to keep under 25c.
Breeding- Once the water is good and they are happy they will readily breed. The female usually carries the eggs for around 25-30 days and after that you have offspring. And once the water parameter are stable they will breed like rabbits.
Feeding- A good mix of vegetable diet and and protein will do wonder, and also helps to bring their color.

Shrimp Name- Orange Sakura Shrimp
Shrimp Scientific Name-Neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensis var. orange
Size- Max. I have seen is up to 0.3inches
Water parameters - such as ph, tds etc.- Kept at an Ph of 6.5-6.7 with a tds around 250ppm, I guess they can tolerate more also.
Water temperature - Keeping it under 26c
Breeding-Yet to happen at my place, seen a female carrying saddle so hope for the best.
Feeding- A good mix of vegetable diet and and protein will do wonder, and also helps to bring their color.
Image- Will provide soon.
