hellcat6203 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi everyone, I'm Michael for NC and I been breeding angelfish, discus and other fish for 15 years, I'm very interested in genetics of fish and freshwater invertebrates, I got into shrimp because there genes seem complicated and not stable, I'm hoping to learn more about them and to produce stable breeds. I also found this forum by accident why looking for info on this and you all seemed like the most active and the most into learning more about them. I hope to become an active member and gain knowledge the you all as I start my journey into breeding shrimp, I also plan to collect and breed almost all types and some day make report on it for everyone to read. Thank you and just got to say its an honor to be here! Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Shrimp Depot Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 You're right - the Neocardina and Caridina have a rich palette of color and pattern genes that are largely unrealized. Caridina seem to me to get most of the selective breeding attention for patterns, but Neos have tremendous potential for patterns as well. I don't know how to insert a picture in this forum but here is an example of a Neo with a pattern I think is pretty sweet. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rs3cgwes78v7942/2015-03-29%2021.01.23.jpg?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodbigelow Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 welcome! completely in the research stage myself. Although not quite so much experience in selective breeding, but do have some experience with dart frogs and a few lizards. Although I do want to get into the shrimp breeding aspect a bit, my main concentration is going to be aquaponic systems utilizing marbled crayfish. Anyway, glad to see you aboard.

hellcat6203 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I always wanted some dart frogs, but never had the time for them, I could see alot of potential in selective breeding them but everything I read seems to look like people frown on you for doing that. Oh and thanks for the welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wow. People frown on selectively breeding them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasshalffull Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 In dart frogs they try to keep localities separate to keep blood lines pure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 OKay, but that's different from selectively breeding. In selective breeding you just pick out the traits you want from a given group and keep breeding those traits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellcat6203 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'll just stick with fish and shrimp till I build my new house next year and get my fish/shrimp/lab room. Wife is tired of my hobby being all over the house so she said put it all in one big too just for me lol, I can't wait, but she gets and arts and craft/ plant room, best part about kids being all grown up Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
