Has anyone done this cross before? Tangering tiger x red bolt


Recommended Posts

So i just recently crossed a TT with a RB and was wondering if anyone has ever done this crossing before? Pic is of the mother.

When i started my line of tangtai i crossed females tt with males twb as my end goal was to breed backline and fishbones, it is a long process but really enjoyable especially when you start getting results, just make sure to set aside a few tanks for that to avoid inbreeding.

@vshrimp

looks very promising.

Keep us updated with pics of these little fellas as they get older.

They should colour up a bit when they get older.

Just an update. After the F1 shrimplets had grown up. I culled the males and kept 3 females. From those females, I then crossed back to a RB. Heres the female berried.

After releasing the eggs, I discovered I may have created some Blue Steels. Heres the pic of the baby.

And now here it is at juvie age. Only found 2 of them and hoping for them to be a pair. Fingers crossed. :D

Also...I'm hoping this one could be a red steel. Might need to work on it but it looks promising.

Update:

 

Been a month now and it looks like the 2 blue steels are grown up and looks to be girls.

Here's how the reds are looking. After talking to a reputable breeder. I was told its a red bolt phenotype and that I'm on the right track to breeding Red Steel.

So one of the females finally berried. Father is another Blue Steel that I bought to stabilize the line. So in a way I'm taking a short cut. Who doesn't like taking short cuts lol.

The first female dropped all her egg :( but the other just happened to be berried yesterday. Hoping she holds them

Also looks like I might finally have some actually Red Steel. This one is a F3 tangtai potential RS. 2f0188ecb845714d202e97b242a2422b.jpg4399931292b894ab4e96458b573227d8.jpg

This female has gotten super dark. Drop most of her batch but is still holding on to a few eggs from what I can see. Should be any day now for the release of the shrimplets. 0bf1f5f5d0b47343a081a7f85acb77fd.jpg

      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!
