Blue Bolts from crossbreeding


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Does anyone breed blue bolts from mischlings ? I've searched for a guide but didn't find one, read a lot about crossbreeding and soon I want to start a project to produce my own blue bolts.

I need your advices on this.

Thank you!

Yes it is possible to get blue bolts from breeding two mischlings. Especially if blue bolts were used to make the mischlings.

Thank you for your reply. I've read that if you breen f1 with taiwan bee the chances to get a taiwan increases. Also is this chart making sense to you: https://goo.gl/sFEHst ? 

Thanks!

Oooh nice chart!

Where does one get Aura Blues?

Here in my country no breeder has aura blue tigers, so some sold online.

I guess it depends on which gene was dominant and which was recessive.

Black taiwan X Blue tiger = Taitibee blue means that the Tiger genes were dominant. So the offspring is more Tiger.

However,

 Black taiwan X Blue tiger = Blue pinto might mean that the Taiwan Bee genes were more dominant. So offspring is more TB.

I don't get this chart.
4:th row left says Black taiwan X Blue tiger = Taitibee blue.
7:th row left says Black taiwan X Blue tiger = Blue pinto etc.

"A Pinto is a colour variation and type of Taitibee. "

I think the second is a subset of the first, rather than a completely different category.

That's right. A Pinto is still a Taitibee, but with more Taiwan bee colouration, rather than a tiger.

That's what I was trying to say in my post above.

I have managed to breed quite a few Bluebolts from Snow White mischling to Snow White mischling. They were admittedly F8 mischlings but high success rate with them.image.jpgimage.jpg

@Aristo You won't get a Pinto from that combination.

The Tibee needs to be crossed back with a pure Taiwan Bee to get a reasonable percentage of Pinto colours.

Blue Bolts come from Shadow Panda taiwan bees crossed with Golden Bees.

So yes, you need a taiwan bee to get BBs. ?

So a Golden Bee although a Bee shrimp is not considered a TB?

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
