Well Vijendra bulk of them are from the same genus which is cardina, so there is a high chance of cross-breeding!!
If you are not bothered about it then can go ahead and keep them in a single tank but to maintain proper line a species only tank is preferred.
And also some of them such as red nose shrimp requires brackish water to develop the larva so no chance of cross-breeding :)

Due to cross breeding between RCS and Indian Rainbow shrimps, now I have some milky white shrimps. Now I trying to keep these white shrimp in another tank. I think after some more generations, they will be pure white.
