Neo breeding: Marys and snowballs will not cross?

[Crackhead Johny]

OK I though I had to keep one variety of Neo in a tank to avoid breeding to wild. So I have decided that will be bloody marys.

Then last week I was told that Snowballs would be fine and would not interbreed?

So I looked up a chart and if I read it correctly, I could have Marys, snowballs, and Yellows in a tank and have no interbreeding?

If that is true, that is nice. If not I'll stick with the marys.

I'm afraid the chart you read was incorrect.

They are all neos, and will interbreed.

All will breed and mix. Whoever told you this is totally wrong.

Thanks, I figured I ought to check.

I though it was pick a Neo, then pile in a mish mash of cardina and enjoy mischlings galore, then separate out any cool ones and try to breed them in a separate tank.

 

I figure start with Marys and some tigers adn make sure that is OK before tweaking for the other shrimp.

Should I stick to one variety of tiger also? I never hear much about people people mixing tigers, just breeding them to bees and such.

you could do bloody marys, tigers and malawas. That is what I did but with black diamonds instead of bloody marys.

Aesthetically speaking, if you like the red/white/yellow scheme, for white with the BMs you could do crystal whites/snow whites or golden bees, to give a bit of yellow. No interbreeding that way. The yellow would be tougher but you could go with another caridina like a YKK or TT. Then you'd be ankle deep in tibees and mischillings.
