cdaJiv Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I’ve purchased two dozen Black Galaxy Pintos which are Low Grade, if I keep breeding them together and culling the offspring will their quality increase over time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeAsianBooty Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 It will only increase overtime to a certain point. You need to introduce a higher grade to increase the overall quality and cull.. Tibee Inc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to introduce a higher grade to increase the overall quality and cull.. Why would that be the case? Those strains were also just developed by breeding and culling. It would be much faster than redeveloping a line from low-grade but that's just because someone else did the work before-hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I agree with aotf the big guys had to start somewhere to get all the fancy shrimp.....boa, galaxy fishbones, so had to cull hard and breed only the best looking shrimp to get where they are today Shrimporama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeAsianBooty Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Yeah, OP definitely has to start somewhere. Imho eventually the gene will plateau is where im trying to get at. In order to achieve an higher grade they would need to introduce a higher/new gene. I'm not sure if thats their goal, but yes overtime low can =med grades..high?? depends on their genes and selective culling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
