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 molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?

      Right now this tank only has blue bolts and golden bee (red bolts?).  The eggs start off all brown, but at the end, I notice that some are kind of a clear pink-ish color.  So I don't know if that is the egg color of dud or golden bee.  Picture of shrimp only about half hour before molting. The water is always RO + remineralizer, so it should be ok. The tank seems to still be on a "good streak" ever since I started the regimen of weekly water change, monthly gravel vac and plant trim.  The point being to keep the amount of waste low and removing moss / floating plants so that the nitrates go towards growing algae.  At one point, I had three berried females, but only netted about half dozen babies by the end, due to this early molting problem.  There might be about 30-40 shrimp total in 5 gallons, but still very few full-sized adults.
