Taiwan / Crystal genetics

OK

Gbang earlier said "breed ur blue bolt male with some cbs and snow white females if you got any ....."

Now I was wondering why???? what does it matter what the Taiwan is crossed with????

When we breed F1 together (or back to Taiwan's) we will get some Taiwan's .......

What if they were Wine Red's would I cross to CRS then?????

Cheers

Greg

The Taiwan gens are recessive, and will not show up in the first generation. If you cross TW x CR you will get F1 hybrids looking like CR. If you cross the F1 among themselves, you can have TW in F2.

Crossing Blue Bolt and Red Bolt with Snow White will give you more BB/RB.

exactly imke, i don't have much knowledge with the specifics of this topic. purely because i actually don't want to know. i want to have surprises in the future ;)

but i do believe the blue bolts originate from kk, snow white and cbs lines while of course the red wines are a mixture of red and black lines? someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

actually....i really don't know much about this. imke can you enlighten us more? any chance thaty you wrote an article on this subject?

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
