Mattaquarium Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows if the Bloody Mary or black rose shrimp can express the backline? Like found in yellows or painted fire reds? Always liked the look of the backline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I don't think so, I may be wrong though. The backline AFAIK is on the shell and Bloody Mary's have a translucent shell and pigmented tissue underneath. The Black Rose, on the other hand, are all black (I think they've got a pigmented shell) so they wouldn't typically have a backline but I'm sure there are some that have thrown it.

So it's possible for the black rose's to have that backline then? I would love to somehow breed a black rose with the backline, I feel like that would be one stunning shrimp lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I believe so. While it's not typical or might not even be desired in a Black Rose, I'd think you could probably get one. Try finding a Cherry or something similar with a darker backline and see what comes out when interbreeding with a Black Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aotf Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Are the Black Roses you're referring to chocolate lineage? If that's the case, then I believe you can get some with a backline. Some of mine have 1/2 of a backline or some splotchiness in that area. I also do not recommend breeding them with cherries, you'll get WTs since they come from totally different lineages. I think it's less frequent for BMs to have a backline (especially high-grade since it's bred out) but my BM has the beginnings of what you're looking for. I imagine you could get something solid after several generations of breeding. Sorry for pic quality, I used the digital zoom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvancedAquaculture Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 The black rose neos at the store get yellow racing stripes. Very common in the females. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
