BB Rilli Cull or Selective Breed


BlueBolts

Recommended Posts

My personal preference are solid colours ....BUT thought I'd get a consensus of the potential breeding of a BlueBolt Rilli .....

BB given that the Cherry Rilis are so popular I can't see that these wouldn't be especially if it has some blue in it. Worth a try:encouragement:

I prefer the solid colours on the blue bolts, but that's just my opinion :encouragement:

Wishful thinking BB, but I hope you achieve it anyway. You know my opinion!

BB RILLI! BB RILLI! BB RILLI! I gotta say I love the solid colour BB but I would love to see a BB rilli as well :victorious:

Regardless, I would be inclined to breed the two together just to understand the genetics a bit better. Results might be interesting or not interesting at all, but in pursuit of knowledge you need to have experiments that fail as well as succeed.

And once you are done and getting ready to cull, I'll take them off your hands ;) I do not have space issues and experiments like these appeal to me if you couldn't spare the space.

You'll never succeed if you never ever try! He he!

solid bb looks better but bb rili would still be very cool hanging along with sw rili.. if there is ever such things.. when will it end... never!!! :)

i think with a BB rili they would look cool but if the price was lower then the demand for solid BB;s may be affected due to people buying the rili variant in an attempt to obtain solids instead from them.

Generally how many generations would you have to breed before they would breed consistant ?

IMHO, obtaining a rilli to get a solid is taking 3 steps back, and 1 step fwd. I have the rilli gene's in my GB, and they're a bugger to breed out ! I prefer solids, but any variant, as long as it follows the rules, i.e. rilli - with solid head & tail, clear body should be strictly followed, otherwise it becomes just a luck of the draw, and not done through selective breeding. Although, if a unique pattern is created, and breeds true i.e. like Pinto's, then that's great....beauty is really the eye of the beholder, so whatever the pattern, as long as there's a selective program to try to attain the specific colour/pattern trait, then that's fantastic.

The generations I'm not sure...just depends how dominant that particular genetics is, I guess....

oh okay thanks for the information :), i thought that it would be easier to get solids due to the greater availability of them :) please forgive me noob comment :)

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
