Soothing Shrimp Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 if you are just planning on enjoying them, you don't have to separate them at all. Just enjoy them. Yeah, they may throw a wild or cherry because of different mixed strains, but just cull- or move to a different tank- as you see them. If you are planning on selectively breeding them, separating them would not be a bad idea. How many generations til breeding true is a tricky question. My Nessies took years to breed one general color. My Sapphires bred blue almost immediately, but color intensity has taken years. My Sonics were bred from BV, so I started with a true strain and bred for darkness. That tooo took years, and I still get occasional lighter bv's thrown. So like I said, just depends on your goal. All depends what your goal is. For me selectively breeding, I aim for breeding true for 3 generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
