Crazyfishlady Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 So - I have quietly read... 'listened' ... googled and been amazed by shrimp called "mischling" but I finally have to raise my hand and admit.. I don't quite understand I found charts like the one below. Sorry... it probably makes sense to most of you but... on the right part there is this blue-ish area that says 'mischling' - but it's between the two sections... sigh... Does this mean that ANY shrimp that came from a line of TB x CBS is a mischling and the coloration of each type has just been given a certain name? If that's true... or even partially true... why do the different 'colorations' need different water params if they are all technically mischlings? Or do they? Yea... I'm kinda... pretty much confused. lol Please not hard core genetics lessons that will go over my head Charis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyana Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Anything TB X CRS/CBS is a mischling, you can get TB from this crossing too, but I think that's fairly rare. I don't think they need different water, I think some people keep their TBs at a lower ph but pretty sure they'll be fine in whatever they're born in.

TheGardenofEder Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Tbs need low ph my tbs gave birth at 7 ph before I got my ada tank and the babies did not make it They didn't survive their first molt. And ya and crs x tb is a michiling and michilings crossed together you get crs, cbs, michilings, and tbs. Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Lyana is exactly right. TB x CRS/CBS = Mischling. There is an opportunity that the Mischlings will produce TBs but it certainly is just a gamble. Crazyfishlady and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fábio Silva Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischling Sad to the history behind this word. Mischling in shrimp breeding can be applied to any cross that you make with two separate varieties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
