I need some thoughts here from experienced breeders.

I'm left one blonde/slightly bluish tiger (I think it's a she), few TB (panda and bluebolt), CRS (pure) and mischlings (CBS and CRS). Which one do you think this tiger cross breed with?

I've read somewhere that first and second generation of this cross breeding would not be too pretty - is that right?

When you have first generation  or any generation in selective breeding, do you take parents as well the less desired ones out and keep those have desired traits - like colour etc? Or you just take out the less desired out and keep the parents in?

Cheers

1st generation then 2 nod generation down to 9 & 10 generation . It depends what you want to breed but the initial cross will be a Tibee or Taitibee depending on whether you cross the Tiger with CRS/ CBS or TB .image.thumb.jpg.cd351e9987806615d5a3a3b5image.thumb.jpg.5c3c9896f2fed92189a142afimage.thumb.jpg.a47f31789de3c84a14a27785image.thumb.jpg.b48c76b310192552c233390c

After days consideration, I think I might to give a go crossing my male blue bolt (medium grade) with blonde tiger and hoping I can get something decent out of them.

I also put another female CBS mischling with this blue bolt. So there are 2 females - blonde and mischling. I hope this bloke works hard.

I have a thought crossing panda with tiger but I just love to see panda itself pure.

I think once you get your first generation you need to breed the females with their father. I guess you can also breed the males with their mother too.

I wish you all the best. As I have said before this is the combination I was going to try one day. I will look forward to your progress. Maybe you can start a journal on it.

Sorry to burst you're bubble.......but that is NOT a mid grade BB.If you are going to do this then invest in a decent BB,it could,can and probably will save you a lot of time and frustration in getting a decent looking end product.or go a quicker route of buying some tai taibee and a BB,and do as you were going to do with your own stock,ie keep the females with parents and advance that way.After your first batch is separated you can leave them be and only select from those the corners,to further manipulate to what you want

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Time for another update! The PH this morning is 6 and KH 0-1 (you can't measure zero obviously). I plan to check everything tomorrow and then a water change on satuday. At the moment the TDS is 190 which should drop to 170 after a water change and then 150ish after the following/next weeks water change. Last time I checked GH it was 6, but again I will do ALL the tests tomorrow. I had to resort to using a PH/KH- product (AQUACID) to get to where these parameters are now but as the water I use has PH6, GH0 and KH0 I assume/hope I won't need to use that from here on, but will see if the parameters stay stable for the next week and have a PH alert disc in the tank which should indicate any significant change. I don't like using these sort of products as a general rule and wouldn't if there were any shrimps in situ and that product has raised the TDS at about .5TDS per drop. I may well order some blue bolts towards the end of next week (the road to the house will be closed for a month from 3rd June so it is next week or wait another 6 weeks) and see how that goes. I plan to drip acclimate them overnight this time so as to not rush that as it shouldn't get cold indoors overnight anyway this time of year. This all depends on the tank parameters staying stable for the next week (aside from the mentioned TDS adjustments with the water changes), though the GH  may drop a tiny bit with using just RO to reduce the TDS but that is fine, and even could be a bonus. I did manage to find some nice floating plant that I had before (good old ebay), and will try and get a photo of that at some point to attach, Azolla red I think it is called? Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for now but all appears to be going well at this point! Snails seem to be doing well at least.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?
