Culling Advice and Approaches


Recommended Posts

In Caridina who carries the Genotype the Male or the Female?  Base on selected breeding you will select the best male and breed him to multiple females. Culling base on Phenotype looking for color etc etc, or what you want, you select the best male and females and remove the rest. Who has the strongest genetics to carries the Genotype that will produce the linage you are trying to follow the male or the female?

 

Thank you in advance.

Very difficult to know unless you have detailed genetic history from the specimens you are trying to breed, which most of the times is next to impossible. I am of the thinking that you need to experiment with a few males and females and try to record the desired characteristics from each pairs' offspring and experiment from there on. It is a very long process but many if not most times a very rewarding one...
