We introduce a model of three-species two-particle diffusion-limited reactions A+B -> A or B, B+C -> B or C, and C+A -> C or A, with three persistence parameters (survival probabilities in reaction) of the hopping particle. We consider isotropic and anisotropic diffusion (hopping with a drift) in 1d. We find that the particle density decays as a power-law for certain choices of the persistence parameter values. In the anisotropic case, on one symmetric line in the parameter space, the decay exponent is monotonically varying between the values close to 1/3 and 1/2. On another, less symmetric line, the exponent is constant. For most parameter values, the density does not follow a power-law. We also calculated various characteristic exponents for the distance of nearest particles and domain structure. Our results support the recently proposed possibility that 1d diffusion-limited reactions with a drift do not fall within a limited number of distinct universality classes.
