They will cross breed, it depends on what offspring you are aiming for! I wouldn't have a problem keeping them together!

Remember to post pics when you get them!! :)

Offspring will be both, its ok. Some pandas were born shadows and lost the blue, some keep the blue. U must be excited to receive them! :)

 

Just remember to do a slow drip acclimation (4+ hrs) until TDS of the tank is same as the water they come in and all should be good.

 

Good luck

Thanks guys.

The seller told me the panda might to have wine red, bluebolt, KK gene. So what im trying to achieve just to have pure panda offsprings. The seller told me its better to mix bluebolt to strengthen its gene, is that true?

Just wonder how do i exactly need to do to have pure line?

If i have one or two KK offsprings, how do i need to purify its blood line? Do i need to buy extra KK to gain higher probabilities of same gene offsprings?

What can i expect from mischilings as i also got 5 from the seller?

Another thing, what would be recommended food for panda?

Sorry for being long-winded.

*insert shameless plug* Shrimp Crack is a fantastic food for all shrimp & Shrimp Snow is an excellent "Leave-in" food as they will graze on it & the Mycelia that grows on it, it doesn't foul the water either! :thumbsu:

Now I have got that out of the way, lol. You will always get KK's from pandas & pandas from KK's as they are just a a different colour pattern of the same coloured TB, just like S, SS & SSS in crystal shrimp. You will eventually reduce the number of them produced but they will alway throw variations when breeding.

Mischling have the potential to throw anything, I made some from a pure panda x CSR & they threw RR, WR, KK, panda & BB's, there's not enough known about their genetics to be able to predict what's going on yet.

The best way to improve the blue in shadow pandas is to cross them with BB's, this will strengthen the blue over the white on the pandas.

Hope this helps! :thumbsu:

You must be the worlds best breeder to be able to X pure panda with red cherry shrimp squiggs.

And yes that was pretty shameless

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Alright, I've done a bit more research on gentian violet's cancer-causing potential but I haven't yet done research on malachite green's to compare. But from reading the California propositon 65 document about GV (North Americans incl. some Canadians will recognize this as the law that causes some products they buy to be labelled with "known to the state of California to cause cancer", including the exact product I bought) it seems that the risk of cancer is related to internal use, either injection or ingestion. Speaking of ingestion, I think GV bans mainly relate to its use in treating fish/shrimp/etc. which are intended for human consumption, because of the above. And in countries where GV isn't banned for this purpose, it does seem to get used on various species of shrimp without causing any issue for the shrimp themselves (at least enough so for shrimp farming purposes). See the following: In February, the FDA Began Rejecting Imported Shrimp for Gentian Violet and Chloramphenicol (2022 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) FDA Starts New Calendar Year by Refusing Antibiotic-Contaminated Shrimp from Three BAP-Certified Indian Processors and Adding a BAP-Certified Vietnamese Processor to Import Alert (2024 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) Southern Shrimp Alliance and some other organizations have tons of other articles in this vein, but I'd be here for a while and would end up writing an absolutely massive post if I were to link every instance I found of articles mentioning shrimp shipments with gentian violet and/or leucogentian violet registering as contaminants. That being said, I know shrimp farmed for consumption and dwarf shrimp are often somewhat distantly related (in fact, the one time a shrimp's species name is listed that I can see, it's the prawn sp. Macrobrachium rosenbergii, who at best occupies the same infraorder as Neocaridina davidi but nothing nearer), but this at least gives a slightly better way of guessing whether it will be safe for aquarium dwarf shrimp or not than my bladder snail anecdote from the OP.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I would hazard a guess that perhaps those eggs were unfertilized and thereby unviable? Did the eggs change colour, usually yellow to grey as the yolks used up, or any eyes in the eggs. Is your water ok, using RO remineralised and the parameters in range, as I have heard others say that if the water isn't good it can 'force' a molt? How is it going overall, do you have a good size colony in the tank, you may have reached 'maximum occupancy' as a tank can only support so many occupants.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      Hello folks,  The current problem I am having is that my Taiwan bee shrimp are molting before all their eggs have hatched.  Often the shrimp keep the eggs for 40+ days.  During that time, they lose about half or so, either due to dropping or duds or whatever.  Shortly before molting they look to have about a dozen left, and then they molt with about half a dozen eggs still on the shell.  Then the other shirmp will come and eat the shell.  These last few times, I have been getting around 0-3 surviving babies per batch.  I figure I can make the eggs hatch faster by raising the water temperature more (currently around 68F, which is already a few degrees higher than I used to keep it) or make the shrimp grow slower by feeding them less (protein).  Currently I feed Shrimp King complete every other day, and also a small dab of Shrimp Fit alternating days.  Maybe I can start alternating with more vegetable food like mulberry?  or just decrease the amount of food?

      Yeah, cancer risk was a thing I'd seen mentioned a lot when looking into gentian violet briefly. I kinda just figured it might only be as bad as the cancer risk of malachite green as well, but maybe I should look into it more. I've been doing a pretty good job of not getting it on my skin and also avoiding dunking my unprotected hands into the tank water while treating my fish at least, though. Maybe I'll just not use it once I'm done this course of medication anyways, because I know a store I can sometimes get to that's pretty distant carries both malachite green and methylene blue, and in pretty large quantities.

      Can't help you with Gentian Violet, sorry. It is banned in Australia violet for potential toxicity, and even possible cancer risks. I thought it was banned in Canada as well. At least, you now know why there isn't much info on gentian violet medication and it's use. But keep an eye on the snails after a week. If it affects the snails, it might not kill them immediately. So keep checking for up to a week. Much safer options out there. No point risking your own life over unsafe products.
