Amyers22 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 What kind of shrimp would come from a Wine Red 1 line Taiwan Bee shrimp breeding with a Crystal Red shrimp? Would this be a mischling, wine red, or crystal red shrimp? OR all of the above? I am trying to understand how genetics work with shrimp. Reference pictures attached.

Greenteam Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 TB x CRS = Mischlings with chance of TB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyers22 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 TB x CRS = Mischlings with chance of TB's So there would be a chance at having a few wine reds result from this? and the rest would be mischlings? no chance of another CRS or is it just too hard to tell the difference between a mischling and CRS?

EricM Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 you may get a random WR but most likely will all be Mischilings. but you can cross those females back with a male WR and good change you'll get a few more WRs. just use the female mischlings and male of what you want.

I have a male wine red currently. So if I cross him with a CRS and then take a baby female from that mix and breed them together when she's mature it could possibly result in more wine reds? ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had plans of seperating them in the beginning but seems to do alright all breeding together. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had plans of seperating them in the beginning but seems to do alright all breeding together. I have a PRL tank so I didn't want to mix them. I have a smaller tank right next to it that I have my wine red in. It's got a nice sponge filter, great substrate, minerock, cholla wood, and plants. It's a nice little setup that I can breed in and then separate the babies once they are bigger. I have another tank cycled and ready to for mischling shrimp. I also have an owner of a lfs interested in purchasing mischlings once I get them. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
