Mishling question


Squiggle

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if it matters what grade of CRS or CBS you use to make mishlings? Could you cross a tibee with a C grade CRS & get the same results as using a SSS?

Theoretically, mishlings with a particular grade pattern, can inherit it's geno markings through to the TB. So creating a Mosura pattern BB, is genetically more feasible with a Mosura grade shrimp. Ditto on no entry ...etc.

The TB genetics is unusual, and I don't think using a CRS/CBS, makes any difference...IMHO.

So in theory, if you used a C grade CRS/CBS you would get less white & more blue in a BB? Or would it be the opposite way round & what would be the outcome for KK's, Pandas, WR's & RR's? Also, can you use GBs & SWs for a Mishling starter? Also if you used lower grades to start Mishlings, would they be genetically more stable or same same?

Gosh Squiggle are you done LOL poor BB that was 1001 questions but very interesting!

The question are open to anyone who can answer them *cough Dean* *cough BB* I'm just trying to get my head around the Mishling phenomenon :dejection: & how using lower grade CRS/CBS would effect the outcome of the breeding program & also later down the F line. :victorious: Yes I may be asking a few questions but you're the queen of questions Ineke, lol :encouragement: & these questions have been floating round my head for a few days now & I just had to ask :victorious: As they say, it's not the answer that wins the Nobel Prize, it's the question that started you on the path. Ooohh look, I've gone all philosophical, I think I need a beer, lol :stupid:

IMO, the TB genetics is unique, their genetics is extremely strong, and mishlings are created theoretically as a surrogate, then through intense selective breeding, the "patterns" of CRS's may eventually come through....I've not heard or know any breeder selectively breeding say a HINO KK for example.....and their proceeding generations, carrying this trait.....for me, it just happens. In fact my last KK/Panda, produced 2 x no entry KK's....no idea where that came from... It just happened.

So does that mean, in theory, you can use any Caridina Cantonensis as a "surrogate" for the TB genetics?

I'm still trying to work out what's what are Taiwan bees in the crystal bee family and where does a tiger come in and what about the tibee I'm lost and confused but I really really want to know! And then don't get me started about mishlings glory be I'm out in the wilderness and feel all alone. So please go on asking I might get some answers too! ( am I still the queen.?)

I'm still a little in the dark about the Tibee, Taiwan Bee & Tiger stuff too :confused:

I've tried google but that just confuses me more. It would be great to have info on each individual type and then how crossing them produces which hybrid.i was under the impression that the Taiwan bee was related to or same genus as the crystal bee.

TB is a guarded secrete by the creators, so not sure of their creation... There are some evidence of TB being selectively breed from Tiger ? But no idea.... My knowledge is from TB onwards ...had to just accept it, otherwise it'll send us all crazy.....lots of rumours etc, but no real hard evidence. There are some wild tigers, so selective breeding has created the variations etc... From my understanding, not all Caridina Cantonensis can breed with each other.... Remembered reading abiut it somewhere ..... Sorry for the lack of info.... The mystery continues

You've more than answered most of my questions BB, Ineke & I have probably melted your brain with question overload, thanks heaps for clearing a lot of it up, maybe Dean or Shrimpster can help out with some info too, I'm sure you've already covered a lot of what they know too. Thanks heaps BB, your knowledge is priceless :encouragement:

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
