fishyd Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I currently have what was sold as blue jelly in my community and want to add some blue velvet. If I were to do this, what would happen with offspring? I know they're very similar (and confusing) but not sure if offspring would do well. Would they throw off wild type colors or stay true?

countryboy12484 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 There is a possibility that you could get wilds. We do not know what was bred from what... And on the other hand they could breed true. Soothing shrimp will have better input on this subject. Hes our resident geneticist....

Soothing Shrimp Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Heyya guys. Just got in from rehearsal. No geneticist here, just a hobbyist with lots of experience with neos. In my opinion blue jelly is derived from BV. That means if bred together they should breed blue. Now, having said that, I have to state it depends on where the blue resides in the dna as to whether or not they will throw any wilds. Sometimes var have different locations although called the same thing. (Ie. 2 strains called the same because different people worked on them in different ways, but their phenotype was the same- but not genotype.) My suspicions are that you will be safe though...but no guarantee. h4n, fishyd and miwu 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyd Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thank you, soothing. I think I will try then and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 We only find out results if we are brave enough to experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
