I have some adult bamboo shrimps and I found a small shrimp with strip on the back.
I am wondering if it is a baby of bamboo.
I don’t see any fans.

When will a baby start having fans?

Bamboo shrimp adults will not tolerate any salt in the water, larval stages of bamboo shrimp NEED brackish water to develop. Getting a bamboo shrimp to berry in controlled parameter setting requires a period of transition that is almost impossible in control labs, let alone your home aquarium. Even if you could get them to berry, without a brackish tank to develop in the larva will die very quickly. I don't know what is going on in your aquarium but I'm 99.99% sure that you don't have a baby bamboo shrimp.

Looks like a Neocaridina "wild type" or some other species.

can you breed bamboo shrimp?

if so how? what is needed? stuff like that.. will they cross breed with RCS, or attack eachother?

Thank you for the detail reply. Sounds reasonable. Here are some of my fan shrimps:
