Jaykidding Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Would they be a mix or half one stripe and pandas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 The best part of keeping and breeding Taiwan Bees are the offspring you receive. They will be all TBs, but honestly you never know what your going to get. I have never purchased Wine Reds, and only kept Pandas, BKK, Shadow Pandas, and Blue Bolts, now I have 5 Wine Reds. eozen81, Soothing Shrimp and mayphly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 You can get all type of TBs. BKK, Panda, even Hino/No entry Wine Red, Blue Bolt. and Golden (cull). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenPepper Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have Shadow Mosura, Hino, panda and 1/2 strips KK, they been breeding them amount with all blacks for years. I got different pattern in black so far. Maybe it's just my luck... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykidding Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 So if I breed blue bolt with another blue bolt I will get different taiwan bees too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenPepper Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 if u want to purify ur "line", u can keep picingk up those non BB, and ur BB off springs will start increasing in number. then u will get pure line in the off-springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 yep. It's possible, but would prob take years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 yep. It's possible, but would prob take years. I think lots of people tried, and just gave up for some reasons. the easier way is just to move the other colors out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yeah. I personally think people want things fast and instantly these days, so many breeding farms aren't willing to put in the time to breed strains so they breed true-ish.

I personally think people want things fast and instantly these days, so many breeding farms aren't willing to put in the time to breed strains so they breed true-ish. I'm talking about some serious breeders. they do selective breeding of their PRL for years. but no one want to guarantee their TB line is breed true. I know Pure Line of TB exists. but it costs $$$ and rare few people wants to pay. Qauality wise, it's same. pure line or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 BKK, Panda, WR, BB are the same shrimp. It breeds true already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 TB may equal TB, but phenotype does not yield phenotype. I'm be one of those people looking to pay slightly higher to have a phenotype breed true regardless of grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm be one of those people looking to pay slightly higher to have a phenotype breed true regardless of grade. It's not slightly higher, regular TB costs $$, and Pure Line TB costs $$$-$$$$. and more important, Pure Line TB is not available in US.

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I understsnd that, and obviously it is a dream wish to buy those. As far as breeding goes though, they are worth their weight in gold. It is only through homozygous genes that we understand what color crosses yeild. Milkshake genetics will continue to throw random results. Plus a strain is necessary if one wishes to selectively breed for a trait.
