If you happen to know more about this confusing genetic history, please feel free to leave me a message and inform me on what information is missing. Thank you !
The video I made several months ago on shrimp genetics has been a popular one, however a lot of people were confused on how shrimp breeding works exactly. As well as if the different color variations of neocaridina Davidi and neo. palmata (the "pearl" family) can split off and evolve backwards (revert) to previous color stages. Which, they can and this is know as " throwing" or "reverting", and can only be reduced via culling or removing those individuals from the population.
Beyond this, I have also learned from breeders who have been in the hobby for many decades, that some of the information may have been mudded by incorrectly named shrimp such as Bloody Marys labeled as cherry shrimp or painted fire shrimp labeled as a bloody mary shrimp. Which then can end up throwing blue shrimp variants and confusing shrimp breeding hobbyists and myself alike, on what the true lineage is in this species.
I will be talking about neocaridina palmata & davidii specifically and within neocaridina davidii, I will discuss the 3 wild types. A rusty striped phenotype, a dark brown to black version and the golden or more light gold or brown wild type that our yellow shrimp variants seem to stem from.
This video includes discussing why decoding the genetics on these shrimp is so tricky and also will show the most likely pathways of selective breeding to produce each phenotype aka color variant.
Variants ill discuss include the following-
Neocaridina davidi
Red cherry shrimp, painted fire, red fire shrimp, Sakura red shrimp, blue rili shrimp, blue topaz, blue dream, blue velvet, blue jelly, red Rili, orange rili, pumpkin shrimp, sakura yellow, yellow, green, jade, schoko, bloody Mary's, black rose, carbon and carbon rili.
I love how you use an aquascape tweezer as your pointer 🤣
Haha they happen to be with me frequently Haha. Thanks for watching, my friend.
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium no problem! You actually inspired me to pick up some shrimp. Acclimating them now... got a mix of 30!
Lol 😂😂😂
InstaBlaster
And, I search something and accidentally find you again! You always have the best info! 😅
Awesome! Welcome back! And Thank you for visiting again 😊
No wonder I ended up with so many Rilis. I started off with 10 Cherries and 8 Blue Velvet. Both of my tank are just basically skittle tanks now. I love all the different colors.
Well at least you know now! :)
@@Fishtory I have had to learn on the fly, but I think I'm doing alright for my modest setup
I have been consistently breeding fire red cherry shrimp . I just pulled the first 4 orange that I have seen I didn't realize this was possible until just now. great video
Glad to hear. Sounds like you're in luck
Wow this answered so many questions I had about my shrimp and their genetics. Thank you! I'll probably have to watch it again to really understand it because there was just so much I didn't know or understand at first. Thank you for this video! It brought me a ton of joy 🙂
So glad to have helped. I updated this video about 2 years later than this version if you search my videos and find the one titled the same but with "v. 3.0" or "version 3.0" , I believe... in any case, thanks for tuning in and I'm so glad it was of some use to you also. Cheers.
@@Fishtory I actually already got to your updated video haha! I watched a couple of other videos too. I've come to have a deep love for shrimp when at first I mainly just looked at them as a pretty maintance crew. Having a deeper understanding of the creatures you care for makes the hobby even more enjoyable and astonishing. Thank you for your reply and videos; they're genuinely helpful to me and others.
@@wutsit2yuhhuh246 glad to hear it! Have a great week
@@Fishtory thanks you too!
Cannot get over it! These vids are puure gold!
Thank you! Its been a while... i did one on caridina a year ago and i waited for dna for over half a decade to finish the chart lol .its called "the history of domesticating Caridina shrimp"
This is a really cool chart!
Local stores around here couldn't tell fish and shrimp apart to save their lives. I've gotten everything from patternless milky white amanos to low grade cherries sold as sakura and rillis sold as cherry shrimp. This forced me to stop ordering livestock and only buy things that are in stock, so I can visually confirm what I'm buying. Of course the stock sucks, so I end up waiting months and months for something I really want, or get tired of waiting and hop on the train to buy livestock from another hobbyist, or a reputable store far, far away.
At least now I know what quality different color gradings stand for, so I can recognize a good deal. Thanks!
aquatic arts.com or Flipaquatics.com... the discount codes are SECRETSHRIMP10 and respectively History10
Thanks, but those don't work for me, I'm in Hungary - Europe, and the retail shipping of live animals is outlawed here. I either go to the store and pick them up myself, or I don't get animals at all.
You have by far the most informative channel!
Might I suggest working on production quality a lil bit, might boost your viewership tons!
Yeah thanks. My main issue is that I've attracted a great core 5 to 10k "loyal" viewers and I'm able to get them about 5 hours of content and 3 to 5 videos a week when it's vlog style production...however now that it's not just a hobby, I do want to draw those folks in, whom would watch discovery and history channel level shows...and not public access or NPR lol... thats kind of the crowd I WAS shooting for the last 4 years... the nerdy nerds haha.
But in the last 6 months I've added about 4k in equipment to my standard gear, and I've had cheap mics, and 1080 filming from the start...however internet compressed my livestreams and I'm a bit stumped on getting those to look better (even an ethernet cable and the 200 internet doesn't guarantee me anything better than 720 or so about 50% of the time when i stream.
But as for transitions and so forth, I used to spend time on about 20 videos to do an edited and typical TH-cam slideshow video...but oddly they always did worse than just speaking..
The whole thing has been a very odd process. In that also, I got more subs on well edited content...but the minutes watched was half of those who subscribed to the lower tech style. "Barrier to entry" of interest I suppose...but at this size you sort of need to at least get it all in 4k HD and or mic & dslr it up.
Thank you kindly by the way... this video is a really early one, and now I have the software to stream on screen too lol
That's quiet a reply! I appreciate that, I reckon that's the great thing about a smaller community. At the end of the day your absolutely passion comes across, ill most definitely check out the newer vidoes, maybe then my nee red rilis will live :)
Excellent clarifications (particularly with the more exacting verbiage choices) on the previous video. Great work!
Studying the charts as u teach
your videos are the most informative
Thank you for saying so. I work hard on them
It’s a really interesting genetics experiment. Their colors most likely have many genes involved, so it isn’t like the dominant/recessive type inheritance most people are familiar with. This makes things more unpredictable. This is why their offsprings’ colors can hop all over the place - the genes are there, like you said. Some genes are also co-dominant, meaning it can go either way which one is expressed.
Through intensive selective breeding and inbreeding, you can reduce the genetic variety of a population, and perhaps remove some of the color variants from the gene pool, if those genes also don’t code for some vital function that they need for survival. I’m guessing these are the “high quality” strains that mostly breed true that people can get.
Yes... their color is much more similar to human eye color, in how it works. With 3 alleles involved and co-dominance being common.
There is a gene for flesh colors, translucency and then pigment in the shell
Excellent presentation. Will help me a lot for my future shrimp breeding project.
I'm very glad to hear it. Best of luck!
Great video! I just started my first shrimp tank (Red Rili) and this was *super* helpful!
Great! I'm glad, the origins are constantly shifting slightly, but what is here is true...there just may be other ways to breed the same traights...if that makes sense?
I have noticed you spell trait wrong quite often. Not Being negative it just sticks out to me
Really great video - thanks so much for this...my wife understands genetics well, but I don't, and I've been puzzled by starting with only 2 cherry red shrimp, and now have (rarely) an orange and yellow and couldn't figure out why, but now I do! I had searched the internet forever trying to find answers and couldn't, but you have helped tremendously! Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see another video about genetics from you - you explain it so well...thanks again!
It's still somewhat uncertain until they DNA test all the color forms, but red and blue are fairly well sorted out now. I will likely do more on each color, but people get defensive (due to mixed lineages that led them to their strains, when they thought they had a wild cherrt 10 years ago but had a blue revert for instance...so there are many paths but this is the most direct or accepted info.
Thanks for the interesting explanation. Just prepared two tanks for red Rilis and orange Rilis. We will see what they will throw. All the best! Roland
How’d this go? I put some with my red cherry shrimp that just birthed blue shrimps. So now I’m hoping to see a ton of colors on the next breeds.
Very informative, thanks for the video!
liked. this is the video that made me subscribe
Welcome! There are some new videos with updates on this info...and the new interview with grant Eder is really good for caridina origins and combos
Such a lot of education and I am enjoying it.
If you have questions i love tracking down the info to them
Great vid. Thanks very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid, thanks for all the info!!
Thanks for the video really helps me understand why some reverted back (a green gave birth to a blue with a yellow stripe down its back) .
Very helpful! Subscribed to you! :)
Have you done a video on how to grade shrimp? X
awesome, ....i'm glad it helped a bit. I have videos on grading red and blue kinds of shrimp, if you search my videos. thanks for watching
Great video.
Thanks for letting me know! Cheers
I did not hear a single "um" 🤗 god job! Very interesting.
Er good lol
Oops heard an "um"
I made a second video pretty much the same but with less filler words
ahhh
The epigenetic coloration is interesting. Wonder what you'd get if they grew up on gaudy candy colored gravel, lol.
Lol
actually there is some research circulating on the Internet where they posted photos of the shrimp living on coloured substrate. Google them. IMHO, it influences colour intensity by 35%, so the difference is quite noticeable.
Thank you for this!
Thank you for watching
Awesome video thanks
No problem! Thank you kindly for checking out the channel! There are 400 other videos if you want something specific, try looking through the back catalog of videos :)
Question: If I mixed orange pumpkin neo with orange rili neo .. will it produce wild types?
No, those tend to make rilis or oranges... a mix of each
I know this is an older video but it's full of great info. I live in the PNW. where do I source good stock to start breeding for fun?
Um aquarium zen has a decent selection...kind of pricey... I'd buy online either aquatic arts (I have a code for 15% off since shipping costs went so insane lately ) HISTORYSECRET15 ...OR TGOEShrimps.com is a great spot too!
I have learned so much from this video. I'm already working on color morphs. Need to get better at catching baby's early
hah yeah, it's a bit risky but it sure saves a ton of space and money if you're diligent and do it daily
Excellent video
What would happen if I mixed yellow neon/sakura shrimp with fire red shrimps? Will all of the offspring be brown/clear or will there be some cool colours?
Probably a generation of mixing colors...maybe 2...then just start clear and brown, wild colors will start being born I'm 1 to 3 generations.
I know this is an old visor but I hope you see this. How do you separate the young shrimp? I can't imagine trying to net them. I just got around 30 blue dreams and am going to start breeding for my lfs.
I net them at around 3 or 4 months old. When they are half an inch or 1 to 2 cm long by not saddled or able to spawn yet.
No one that I know of buys shrimp under around that size. But as for catching them...in a heavily planted 20 gallon it gets tricky...often I use food as bait when it's the middle of the night, then come back and catch like 20 assorted shrimp all at once, then select what I need from that single scoop with a big net
Very nice explanation:) Have you any updates?
Haha yes there was one 3 years ago...but really the HUGE update is in caridina. I did an hour long video on tracing the wild roots and first breeders of caridina shrimp lines in a video called " the domestication of caridina shrimp- a genetic analysis " or something close to those words
So if I’m understanding this okay… I can have yellow, green, and orange shrimp in the same tank & the offspring will be a mixed bag of those colors?
So in theory, maybe lol. Sorry it's so confusing, but if the green and yellow mix... it'll be green and or yellow babies....sometimes light brownish ones ... if yellow and orange mix it'll be yellow and orange babies or some color in between... but if green and orange mix, it may create brown or tan to clear "wild". If you skip more than one mutation of color at a time with cross breeding, it may show for a generation or Two, but will get weaker and weaker until wild looking again.
Hi, I had wild colored Neocaridinas and as they breed I saw blue, dark(almost brown or black) and bluish colored offspring. My question, how can I get more blues out from this offsprings? or how to purify this offsprings to be more into blue? thanks hope to hear from you
Just pull those offspring aside , then put them in their own tank, with the most blue 4 or 5 shrimp...and repeat until you get what you're looking for in a color. Sometimes it can happen in a few generations, sometimes it takes 20
Helpful with what the potential outcomes for my "skittle" tank could be. I have one palmata female (white) and really bright yellow, orange, red, blue, and a very deep green male. She has spawned two batches now with interesting results - some almost white, others a pale peridot green, more with some wild traits of stripes/spots and casts of yellow or green.
Besides her I also have an orange, a bloody mary and fire red holding eggs right now - can't wait to see what sorts of babies appear.
I have older shrimplets I need to move out that are super dark green, almost black that were offspring of either the snowball or the orange female - now wondering who the dad was even more based on the chart!
Glad to hear it. Cheers and best of luck to you
Thanks for the interesting video, loved it! I, however, have a question as I got some interesting offspring. I'm in possession of a 30L tank with ±20 paint red shrimp and around ±5 white pearls. One of the paint red just gave birth and apparently I saw 1 dark blue shrimplet?!? Can you explain what has happened here ;)?
Probably a wild mutation. Blue lobsters also naturally occur, it's just very rare. Super cool!
May be that red shrimp is bloody Mary shrimp which is close to dark colours
I have an unique genetic trait (for about 3 generations now) in a line of neocaridina and i would like to discuss some things about it and hear your opinion. I would like to do this in private though as i don't want to openly tell what is specifically going on. Is there any way i can reach you to show you some pictures and information for your opinion on how i should breed it into a stable line :)
Alexanderjwilliamson@gmail.com :)
I was recently in your live with Father fish.
I just got my first 2 shrimps, they were sold for dirt cheap and I came to ask ppl around and they said I have a Amano and a light green jade N
Idk if it’s right but this one is pregnant and idk where to keep her so she can have her babies and thrive. I have a 55gal and in one section I have her in a breeder net box with guppy fry, but now I know that the guppy fry will eat the shrimp babies.
I thought about put in a small tank but if it requires filtration. Just lots of questions I have and can’t really find the answers
Well I've kept both species (neocaridina and amano) just fine in a planted fish bowl without a heater or filter. Just keep the water clean and if you have soft tap water add a few shells or some crushed coral so they shrimp get their calcium. Amanos tend to be little escape artists, though...so just a warning that sometimes you get one that decides it wants to keep crawling out of tanks or bowls
Sooooooo glad you shared this!!!!!! Amazing info!!!! (STOP USING "UM" & "UHH"). Avoid using these words: "but", "can't", "try", "um", "uhh", "and". You've got such great detailed information. (#LupDiesel, I hope you're watching this....). YOU GOT THIS!!! Keep up the great work
RAD Aquatics thanks man yes, I'm new to TH-cam and off script. Thanks for the tips ...it's bad in this video now that you point it out
RAD Aquatics guess what.... uhhhhm.mmm uhh I redid the video... th-cam.com/video/k2qr2HnSFZM/w-d-xo.html
Right now, my most interesting shrimps are the blue meat with red rili shell ones that I get. I just keep pulling them out into other containers...
The genetics and phenotypes of selective breeding are so fascinating. If they didn’t mature and breed so quickly, i don’t know if I would have the patience!
Mmm I take that back. I definitely am having the patience with my long fin green dragon project - some of the babies have amazingly long fins. They were hatched last year and are still only about 2 inches... but I have my eye on a couple that I won’t sell.
This hobby is so fascinating.
Yes! I've been logging what traits are dominate as well.... annnnd there are base chromataphores of 4 colors and then 2 layers of shell and flesh all which overlap to make a color...notice the color of a dead shrimp of specific breeds...for instance a dead jade turns peach and orange... blues turn clear blue.
@Alyssa Bentley We gotta chat green dragons
hello i loved this video becaus it helps me a lot understanding the shrimp genetic and fenotipe. but I want to know what do you do about the shrimp that aren t fire red (intensive red) liki red rilli, blue rilli? you have in the same thank with fire red or you put them in another tank?
Thank u and congratulations about this so good video and the amazing content.
and I like too see a video of your selecting the shrimps for people understand what to look.
thanks one more time
i have a video on grading shrimp also if you search. But i have a rili tank but it took 3 tanks to select partial rili... and just have 3 tanks getting better and better in each batch. its time and space consuming
Thank u. I will go do the same thing and put the shrimps with less intensive color on one tank and the intensive colores in the other tank and I will see the other video. Thank u very much
@@filipegoncalves9825 any time! ask as many questions as you need to. Thats why I made the channel, my friend...i try to answer as many as I can :)
Very helpful. Does anyone have experience with mixing Blue Jellys with Blue Dreams/Blue Velvets? I feel as if it will trigger a wild type
I've done it... it caused some blue Rilis, some blues some blacks and a lot of sort of speckled and clearish phenotypes....and within 4 gens they were starting to get more and more clear or patchy looking
Thank you! We aren't trying to breed them for anything in particular, but I would prefer them to be blue/ black/ neutral. Clear and patchy sounds interesting.
I’m a little boy who just started a 60 gallon a month ago
Hi, i have a doubt, will i need to introduce another shrimps so they don't inbreed?
Usually it's not a problem until 3 or 4 generations minimum. But if you are using a male or female and then crossing it with it's own grandchildren (F1. x F3.) Then there is an increase in issues linked to inbreeding, the longer you do jt
Great video, thanks. I have 4 or 5 fire reds, technically, could I breed them to make painted fire reds? And how do you know if you are pulling out the less red ones vs just male ones....
John Zimm yes
Waiting and having multiple tanks
Hey Alexander, I just got my hands in some blue, pumpkin yellow and sakura red. I also have a dedicated tank for my cherries and I have some painted red as well (accidental breeding). I really want to get a green strain going since it's very difficult to find here. How should I go about it?
I like aquaticarts.com (coupon code SECRETHISTORY15) or aquabid/ Portland's awesome fish shop thewetspottropicalpets.com
I'm about to mix a carbon and blue dream. What will it throw out?
Usually they make blue and or carbon rili for some reason actually. But theres like 3 ways the blue lines have been created in the hobby and each crosses differently. So itll be a bit of a mystery
I started with 2 blue, 2 reds and a orange and have around 500 now. Some are colorful and some aren't. I have black, red, yellow, orange, brown, clear and some that are 2 colors. Yes I know I shouldn't mix them but we don't discriminate so if they want to mix they can.
As long as you and the shrimp are satisfied ...it's alllll good haha. Plus you'll end up with some neat ones mixing for a couple generations usually
I have yellow neon and cherry shrimp but only got a wild color babies and cherry babies. No baby yellow neon.. Why
Yellow is genes are recessive, but wild color is co-dominant , as is red (since rusty red is a natural color variety and not just a newer mutation in pigment due to line breeding).
Only spawning a yellow with another yellow creates more yellows usually
I hope that helps, -Alex.
Are orange rili or blue jelly better in your opinion?
Now i just realized that my red cherry shrimps had a orange offsprings 🤦♂️
One of many realizations I had watching this video haha
👍
thanks
Please do a video like this for caridina ✌
I have one!
I have oranges and want to try mixing them with yellows. What will likely be the result? Brown? Ive been reading that they will most likely be orange. But I want a second opinion.
probably pale brown and clear...mayyybe a few oranges or patchy red... thats the norm, but id love to hear your results....we simply need more data on all the combos
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium Thank you! I’ll let you know how the experiment goes!
@@Fishtory Per the chart, it seems a mix of orange and yellows would throw greens.
Which caridina (not neo) are hardiest and which are not? Thanks!
Wild is usually best... but i highly recommend malawa or gold nebula shrimp as the heartiest shrimp- even over amanos or neos...as for colorful strains ; In this order -
crystal reds, then crystal blacks, tigers, tiger bees and then taibees . Good luck!
What do you think you would get if you mix a black galaxy shrimp with a PRL??
Probably a red line of low quality due to dominant traits....but i honestly do not know...and i would enjoy it if someone tried it out
I have 15 PRL SS grade with 3 mix grade black galaxy shrimp with 5+ spots on there heads. I haven't a clue what I might get but think with black normally being dominant hoping to get something pretty crazy. Lol
@@garyamonette what did you get?
Hellow if imixing yellow with wild with yellow sakura with yellow neon
Is good or no
Ideally you want to keep one line with it's own kind or color form...but I'm guessing you may end up with some yellow rili, maybe a few orange even and then most a spotty or speckled yellow. It just depends what you like
@@Fishtory
Thank you, no matter what color it will end up with, the important thing is that I don't end up with a wild transparent color
So lets say I'm starting with straight up wild type brown N. davidi shrimp. What are the odds of me pulling out some alternate color "mutations" in a single round of breeding? Has anyone created a Neocaridina shrimp punnette square? I think it would be interesting to document the evolution of different color morphs starting from the Wild type.
Ive done plenty or punnett squares onnthe channel actually! Livestreams and shrimp related videos on breeding- but i don't remeber their titles off the top of my head.
The odds using a wild type of getting rusty red or also blue/albino snowball are probably 1 in 500 or 1 in 2-3,000 , however with each, you need to keep refining and encouraging that. Only albino, black and oddly blue (like lobsters) are the only colors that could fully appear from one mutation (that we know of thus far.)
@@Fishtory Sweet. Thanks for the reply. I will skim through your content then
My Sakura Fire Red are Neocaridina Heteropoda
Exactly... very interesting how palmata, davidi / zhangjiajiensis and hetropoda and maybe even more neo species are now in the hobby and genes of cherry shrimp (red ones of all sorts).
Originally it was only davidii people were working with
Wait does that mean I can get diffrent colors from cherry shrimp? Sorry completely new and just ordered some red cherry's well they where marketed as "regular" Cherry shrimp so idk what that means lol
Yes, but it's rare...they are due to slow random mutations each generation and selecting the individuals that feature a desired trait- then breeding them together
@@Fishtory oh man thank you ima need more tanks then thank you for the information
Hi Alex from my cull tank mix blue and reds I've have separated a female red rilli but blue not white I would like to try selectively breed her should I add a similar aged male from same colony and then breed young back to mom? And keep trying or a solid colour male from solid lines?
I would probably try to breed with the mom who has the trait you want, then if any of the next generation are males with her appearance....definitely breed those with mom. Then if you get any better colored females, you can also use them ...in the mean time just always match the ones that are healthiest and have the traits you want.
Wonder what a blue and yellow would create
They create a few blue and yellows...a few low grade blues and a few blotchy light greens for one or Two generation. Then they start to go back to looking wild and clear usually
Can I cross-breed carbon rili and green jade?
What color if I bred orange pumpkins to blue velvet?
I am planning to selectively breed for purple shrimp. What are some combinations you think would work? I honestly have no idea what two type of colors to buy.
There is no stable known combo sadly. Blue and red mixed can sometimes create one or two...but no one can get them to breed consistently
@@Fishtory I don't think anyone has a combo that they are willing to share right now. I think breeding for pures may be cool. I was thinking of a very bright white. if that makes sense. I just think a really yellow or orange would look just as good as a purple. That is probably more likely to happen in than getting a working purple strain. In the end, I will be experimenting a lot. I will tell you in 2 years if I succeed.
White is the other color no one has isolated yet. Other than in golden bees and crystal white caridina strains.
If you want to get more white colouration i wouldn100% start with snowballs (neocaridina palmata)...while not white pigmentation, they are clear with milky white translucent features. Perhaps that combined with very opaque yellow sakura neocaridina
@@Fishtory I will definitely do more research. I would love to try that combo. Still going to be conservative when ordering shrimp. What are some reputable and affordable places to order shrimp from? I think flip aquatics is a little too expensive for my budget, a "pack" of shrimp costs more than my setup. :)
All I wanna know, is can red cherry, yellow cherry and blue velvet (not entirely sure if velvet but I kno there blue) can they all live together?
Yes, but over time the colors will revert to wild, clear and odd mixes of the colors
Where’s the front line right now? I’d love to breed something new
Green and yellow rilis, or anything with just one stripe of color (lengthwise or across the head). More power to you! Pink and purple are theoretically possible, but don't stay stable or pass on genes beyond one or two shrimp per Gen usually...so it's been a dead end so far.
The last new thing is called Onyx Red... its a black flesh with opaque red shell...I have no idea how they're making those though... id love to find out though.
Does the blue and yellow make a baby green shrimp ?
No, but I discuss that If you watch it all
What about tiger shrimp? Some of the wild ones you have look like tigers. Do tiger fit in to the neocaridina line?
Tigers are a Caridina shrimp Species. All mine in the video are neocaridina davidi and if they have striping it's either a low grade shrimp getting more solid in color each generation, or the handful of less colorful shrimp called "culls " that I remove or give away
Awesome thanks for the reply bro.
So tigers wont cross with neos then right? They would be safe to keep in a tank together?
Will they experience genetic degradation issue?
We don't know about that yet. They've only been bred 20 years or so
No yellow rili on the chart?
This was a year or two old when i made the video, and yello rilis as a stable line is very recent
Which lineage goes snowball shrimps falls under ?
Well it's been debated again since this info...but neocaridina palmata/ now palmata may be part of an existing species called zhangjiajiensis....so a lack of pigment in the lightest color of wild type palmata shrimp ....which likely is also the mutation line that can throw blue tinged offspring ...and when those blue snowballs are stabilized by breeding them together....that's likely where blue jelly or blue opal lines come from
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium actually the problem is in our market. Males don't get shipped. By retailer from Thailand... To stop breeding by home breesers.. so I got females only fr blue velvet
Black rose n snowball
N I'm gasping to know how cn I breed them without males of there own strains
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium like i. Have males from orange red yellow cn I get some atleast males from the correct colouration so tht from 2md gen I cn do elective breeding..or the colours will revert from 1st gen onwards
17:55 transparent snail ?
He's lacking calcium and from low kh in the tank.... aka puffer food
First
Great video, I will for sure be checking out more of them!😁 Just subbed. If you ever have a chance stop by my channel thanks.
If I breed orange Sakura with red rili what will I get?
Probably a red and a few orange babies
