Mr. F Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I was just looking in my misch/carbon tank, and I noticed a shrimplet I had seen before had grown. I originally thought it was a poorly patterned carbon (glad I didn't cull it!) and now it is clearly a caridina. I'm not sure, but it looks to have a tibee pattern, but I don't see how this is possible, as the mischlinge are shadow bkk misch and I haven't put anything in the tank that could have stragglers on it for a looooong time... Is there anyway this could be? Or is it just a strangely patterned CBS pheno? Sorry for the poor photo, it's a teeny shrimp still.

Genetics bores me to death so I cant answer your questions but I get those with my black misch's and I get a red version with red misch's.

Yes I think so but I also think it kinda of looks like a taitibee but I get those confused between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmiko Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 wow looks rlly cool I wonder what you'd label it as.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euryth Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 This may have very little relevance, but that shrimp looks phenotypically like some Aura Blue/Snow White shrimp I've seen for sale on aquabid. Definitely interesting, and would like to hear what you're able to discover as to how it came about. Maybe waiting until it's mature and breed it to see what comes out? ohmiko and Mr. F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A test cross is definitely going in the plans. There is a theory that TB is really from TiBs...That's what I was thinking of! Thanks for the clarification, Bryce!

Because it would have to have come from Crystal X Tiger. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 TiB = crystal x tiger Pseudo TiB = crystal x serrata Mr. F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 TiB = crystal x tiger Pseudo TiB = crystal x serrata [emoji4]Whoa. Mind blown. I always thought tibee was TB x any kind of tiger (including serrata) and pseudo tibee was crystal x tiger. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Lots of abbrev. in shrimping. To make matters even more confusing, one can have a TaiTiB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimple minded Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Caridina Serrata.........Tangerine Tigers, Aura Blue Tigers, Green Apple Tigers. Sometimes referred to as Tupfel shrimp.

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Personally, i don't understand why TB x Crystal isn't TaiB. I've seen that a few times, and it makes a lot more sense to me! On the other hand some consider them Crystal mutations, so in that case TiB fits, but we still use TaiTiB.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 That is definitely a Tibee or Taitibee. Sometimes it takes a few generation for certain patterns/phenotypes to arise. That is why it takes so long to create Pintos from scratch. At some point a tiger was crossed with one of your mischling.

r45t4m4n Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 My PRL x Red Tiger cross looks similar to that. Like others have said, looks like Tibee to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 At some point a tiger was crossed with one of your mischling. It had to have been berries in the genetics then. These are F1s and I'm positive I never put any tiger genes into that tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uriel RT Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Tibee for sure, Tiger genes were introduced at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
