Red Cherry Shrimp

Cherry shrimp will stay under 2". I don't know about breeding. However, most shrimp breed fairly well in clean water and planted tanks. good luck.
some of my ghost shrimps in the past will rip anything they can rip so IMO you need a separate tank
I know this thread is a bit old, but hey- I'm exploring. LOL
Cherry shrimp tend to stay in the 1" range, andmake great fish food. For this reason many peopel tend to have a seperate tank for teh shrimp to breed in.
Different var of cherries tend to stay smaller like blue velvets, while wilds or cherries do grow a bit larger.

I found that using Indian Almond Leaf in my tank keeps the Cherry Shrimp happy
They seem to like being left alone, so I keep bits of wood and moss in the tank and they seem to thrive

^ personaly, i would say they do seem to prefer waters with lower PH around 5.5-6...
So if you have hard water with high PH, they might be enjoying the softer water with lower PH bought on by the almond leaves / drfitwood...
