PrezRoosevelt Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi, I've been trying to figure out the answer to this question but have been getting so many different answers on google that I've decided to finally make an account and ask. I've been looking to pick up one of the blue neo varieties for my tank. Blue Velvet/Dream/Diamond/Pearl, which of these breed true? For example, I've read blue pearls breed true on plantedtank but on reddit it was stated they do not. I'm sure its been asked a bunch of times but the answer seems all over the place.

Aennedry Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I know. I was wanting blue neos as well, but some lines are unstable, the darker blue ones, and those are the ones I want. I have been dreaming of aura blue tigers, but they are out of my range, so I am playing with OEBT culls. Still don't breed true, but are cheaper than the nice, unstable blue neos and I can toss some into my future mixed bee tank when it gets up and running. =^._.^= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Heyya Prez. Welcome to ShrimpSpot! :-) Dreams are variable in color intensity and sometime patterns. Diamonds throw reds, chocolates, and other colors as well. Though now they are getting better. Blue Velvets are pretty true breeding. BP is not davidii, but palmata. These are fairly true, but the blue intensity varies. Keep in mind all the above refers to the real strains. There are a lot of people that sell by phenotype and not genotype, so you may not know what you are really buying unless you know who is reputable and what to look for.

PrezRoosevelt Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Cool, thanks very much. Can I keep blue dreams and blue pearls in the same tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Cool, thanks very much. Can I keep blue dreams and blue pearls in the same tank?I wouldn't. They will interbreed and likely throw wildtype shrimp. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
