Soothing Shrimp Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 From what I'm able to gather thus far... Green Jellies is a green strain from the occasional green thrown from oranges. Jade is a green strain made from a random throw from yellow x blue that appeared after several generations. I know my Nessies background, so I won't get into that- but is the above what everyone else has gathered as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vshrimp Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 From what ive been seeing from other people on the internet. Their greens are popping from what looks to be blue velvets. Ive heard of yellows throwing out greens also but no crossing of BxY before. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I mention the crossing because I have seen photos of Jade with both yellow and blue shrimp in the background. Vshrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I just have a sinking feeling any neo that's green is going to be called Jade or Nessie now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt.dru Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I have some BV'S that have a blue green tint to them. Maybe some come from BV's? Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaj Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I have been wanting to try to create my own strain using some of my carbon rili females with a dark blue body base (kinda like those blue dream rilis?), and yellow striped shrimp, which are next on my list. I always assumed that Green Jades were just F2s and beyond of blue and yellow crosses. Of course I know nothing about shrimp genetics, but I know that it's usually the F2 generation where most animals start expressing multiple recessive genes. At least with reticulated pythons and diamond doves, you get fantastic results once you start stacking multiple recessive and co-dominate genes. Not to get too off topic, but I also assumed yellow rilis, orange rilis, and carbon rilis were created by crossing red rilis into other colors, right?

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well, yellow rili is actually poorly colored orange rili at this time. So far no real yellow rili is available in mass production. Carbons are from the chocolate diamond strain. seaj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 when I read the title I totally thought that you were going to want opinions for the background color for a tank with green neos.

fishlover Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 This is the one and only one green from my blue diamond neo (Dark blue) The picture does not reflect the true color. He is as green as grass. Soothing Shrimp, Jadenlea, Shrimp Life and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 So the more I'm looking into the original lines of jade, the culls seem to be blue. Perhaps not a cross, but blue type background? Not sure why the yellow dotted pigment on the shell then? Some other "Green Jades" are throwing orange culls. I think more than one "Green Jade" strain is currently being sold... What does this mean to the avg hobbyist? Absolutely nothing. For the breeder, it may be something to keep in mind.
