They are probably fine together. What is your water like? CPD's prefer more alkaline water, and brigittae prefer softer water. They can both adapt a little. The CPD's will snack on the RCS. Mostly shrimplets, but may harass adults as well.

PH is neutral.
Yeah,The CPD do chase the RCS. they havent knocked the population down though they just slowed the reproduction.
Thanks for the input
