randy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Lucky me.... 9 month into the project and this is what I got ... I'm still not certain if this is a pinto, as red pintos are generally harder to get and these babies don't have very red appearence to me. However, I have not seen shrimps with multiple stripes on the back and not a pinto. Oh well, even if these turn out not to be pinto, they would be great candidates for the next breeding crew.

evodrgn Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Is that f2 or f3 if i may ask? Looks like a pinto grade but i have no clue if theres even a grade system for it haha I think low grade would be someyhing similar to that then more "bones" or lines throughout the body would be regulat grade then when they have markings on the head its higher grade....thats what me thinks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 here are some pics. ibelieve the last three are a pinto, but I am not entirely sure yet. I know the first are tibees unless there unusual pintos lol but I think there tibees. mayphly and countryboy12484 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice development of zebra pattern. I have high hope for you it will turn out to be pinto. In term of color, how the color of your other shrimp in the same tank ? Good luck !

Hungle64 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi Subtle Aquatics, Your shrimp has a same color hue as the one Randy has. However your shrimp has a Macro Ten spot but his zebra pattern is nice. Good luck to both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 See the names and little descriptions of spots is what throws me off. I don't usually pay attention to them. Mark spot, tiger tooth, honimoru, etc etc. I like to grade my shrimp on the scale a-ssss or Tibee, tb, pinto it's just easier for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Spotted head probably increase the value of a pinto by 100% ;-) Nice development of zebra pattern. I have high hope for you it will turn out to be pinto. In term of color, how the color of your other shrimp in the same tank ? Good luck ! That's the thing.... there is no red shrimps in that tank. Just BKK extreme, BKK bars, pinto mischlings (f2 and f3, some really good looking). I don't know how come I get all red ones, not a single black one has the zebra stripes.

Subtletanks91 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 It could be that the black will fill in later? Like cbs how sometimes there born with a maroon color or chocolate color but fills in once they get to adulthood. That's good to know haha, wonder if I can find any more. If I have male and female in there I'll be pulling them to breed them in the internal breeder box next year. I'm excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 So what's the value of pintos in the us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorfan Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Evo, I am trying to do the same thing as you I think. Wanting some blue/black pinto or if even possible red/blue or red/black. Skipped the whole trying to breed pintos and just bought some red and black pintos and are in a tank with mostly high grade blue bolts(mosty blue) JayMarshal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have it yet but i seen a red pinto came out of a group of all black tibee. Color a little more on red than the one you have. Either way it is going to enhance on your project anyway. Only 9 months i would be happy. My project going to be slower than what you guys have...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 "My project going to be slower than what you guys have......" But perhaps more satisfying knowing that you did everything yourself? evodrgn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yeah I haven't bought pintos. But figure that my f3 tibees bred with my wine red tb and that's how I got my pinto. It's the only possible combination for coloration like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evodrgn Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 "My project going to be slower than what you guys have......" But perhaps more satisfying knowing that you did everything yourself? I agree! I find that way i will learn more from it. Yeah same too BUT..... it is sometimes easier to buy them just that they cost a whole lot =P but hey, why not have fun with experimenting and seeing where we can get with our own projects right? Who knows we may just come up with some new type of pinto or something else hehe Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorfan Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Going to learn from this project no matter where I start. Didnt want to do what lots of other people are doing just to get the pinto . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
