Howdy all,

I have bought some blue velvet and some carbon rili.

Unfortunately, it seems the only female in the blue velvet lot has passed away :(

Question is: can I cross breed the rili with the velvet to expect some more velvet? If I'm correct, the velvet and the carbon rili both come from the deep blue neo, so I should at leasqt get some of these deep blue, not recessing to the wild type?

What d'you think?

That's bad news.

As for your question, I'm not too sure if it will work or not.

I guess you have nothing to lose by trying.

 

Yes sure, nothing to lose.

Though, do the blue velvet comes from the red cherry or from the deep blue neo? From what I think I know, the blue which comes from the red is the blue jelly, but not sure.

Just to narrow if I should cross breed with the reds or with the rili...

hey matuva can you post a pic of your blue shrimp?

Yup, will do when back home. They are carbon rili, and the blue velvet are funny, light blue with red rostrum.

 

There's 3 original morphs of neo. red choc and yellow.

so my guess is your bv will throw more wilds when mixed with carbon as carbons come from choc morph of neo. whereas bv come from red.morph. hope that helps :-) theres a beautiful cherry shrimp family tree on skf u can easily find by googling it :-)

love n peace
