So, what types of blood could non-carbon based lifeforms have, and what would the chemical makeup be?

To be clear, I'm not talking about AB, O, A, or B type blood. I'm not talking about different colored blood, either; I saw a bunch of those types of questions earlier.

I'm talking about anoxygenic bonding blood, or however you might say it. As biology goes, humans have oxygen-bonding blood, and I'm wondering how it could be applied to alternative biochemistries,(for bonding to gases other than oxygen), such as a methane/ethane one that breathes hydrogen, or a boron/ammonia one,(no clue what it breathes), and etc. See the next link, please, for more examples. Creating a planetary system that can support six different types of biochemistry

This question addresses some of the biochemistries that I would like to do, and where I want to do them. Sorry if this seems rude; I just get so frustrated that nobody else has asked something similar. Here's the ammonia/boron life link: What would an ammonia-based world look like?

Edit: Sorry about all the confusion. Tags have been changed to appropriate groups. Trying to clarify my question. Sorry it's all jumbled up; I'm still learning the ins and outs.
