Shrimp Crossbreeding Table

**imke_j** · 10th Oct 2010, 06:09 AM

Hi everybody, our forum still is missing a crossbreeding table. Here is a first drift we can discuss and review. Please contribute your experiences and ideas. PDF attached, image file follows. Thanks!

hi imke,

Is this table confirmed?

I have some paracaridina - blue bee, and I suspect that they have bred with CRS, the F1 shrimps are pretty much colourless with a few black speckly marks, the blue is not present! just wanted this cross confirmed!

Thanks

It is not confirmed in any cross; but considers scientific theories and the assumption that paracaridina crosses with caridina. The cross between Blue Bee x CRS is confirmed (see thread batik bee shrimp). This means that Blue Bee can cross with other caridina, too - I suppose.

Nice work, my suggestion would be to add a key to clarrify what "y" means

yes will interbreed not
yes can be together

You are right, we can add that.

Y means 'yes, shrimp will interbreed'

Imke_j are you sure about babaulti stripes x babaulti green? I keep them together and I didn't notice nothing unusual. Anyone confirm this?

Very handy for a beginner like me.

Thanks

Both are babaulties and on based on our scientific knowledge they should interbreed, as far as I know. Do you have brown offspring? The UK shrimp forum has this in it's crossing list, too:

I've keeping them together since about a year, and i didn't notice any cross type...
Greens have yellow eyes their eggs continue to be light green and they have longer rostrum...
Stripes have black eyes, their eggs are kind bluish their body even in male are larger and they have a slighter short rostrum.
I didn't had notice any difference since I bought them but I would like to know if anyone had one hibrid from this two species to remove one from the tank...
Thanks for your help
