Shrimp Life Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I can't seem to find any Homebred Orange Rili Shrimp... So I am trying to make my own. I found ONE Orange Rili shrimp (she was a tiny tag along shrimp in an order of Royal Blues I got) Anyways she is grown up and berried now by an Orange Shrimp. She has pretty good coverage on here head and tail. She berried up yesterday, pics of this project will be posted! Here is a pic from a few days ago....

Shrimp Life Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm finding that Its truly hard to capture the ORANGE on camera. They are very obviously orange in person... They give off a golden orange look in photo... Here is another photo. These guys need black substrate to really show off the orange...

OMG Aquatics Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Wish you luck! The reason there are no homebred Orange Rilis as of now is because they don't breed true. It's gonna be a lot of hard work. Shrimp Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks for the input I know that they won't breed true but as long as they have orange and white I will be happy enough with them. I can selectively breed from thereto try to get some consistency but right now I will even be happy with ones that look like this - (video is not mine, it is from soshrimp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efrojd Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 What would happen if you mix Blue Dream and Oranage Rili? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing: both are different recessive traits, with likely polygenetic inheritance, more than one gene involved, should be odd combinations, depending on genetics of parent shrimps.

Advise, please: what average hobbyist could do with them, when orange (or other) rilis babies are not like their parents, just color dots and stripes instead of patches?
