It is a known fact that RCS breeds like rabbits, but having experience it personally, it was very exciting to see new life been created in my own shrimp tank. I didnt realised the first batch until I see about 6 teens, and now quite a number of my cherries are carrying eggs, so I check on them everyday. Last night I noticed up to 20 babies, around 3mm in length.

Now, should I start on CRS? Can they co-exist with RCS?

A few people manage to keep RCS and CRS in one tank but I think only for low grade CRS. RCS requires slightly alkaline water while CRS requires slightly acidic water. I tried before putting S grade CRS into my RCS tank and all CRS died within 2-3 weeks. 

What's the temperature in that tank ?

Montmorillonite is a very soft phyllosilicate group of minerals that typically form in microscopic crystals

Chemically it is hydrated sodium calcium aluminium magnesium silicate hydroxide (Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)2(Si4O10)(OH)2·nH2O. Potassium, iron, and other cations are common substitutes, the exact ratio of cations varies with source. It often occurs intermixed with chlorite, muscovite, illite, cookeite and kaolinite.

It is used in agriculture to improve growth performance of piglets and fish

Montmorillonite is proven to be effective in use as an adsorptive of heavy metals, toxins, and hazardous chemicals

always shake the bottle then u will see alots of co2 bubble 

normally DIY co2 can use for around 1-2weeks depending amount of yeast you put as starter
Yes shaking the bottle can produce lots of bubble, then after that you will get even less bubbles than before you shaking it. Untable of co2 will result in lots of algae plus plants not growing well

Time to get a co2 tank !!!
