Shrimpo Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Just got few of these guys, I kept CBS and CRS but never snow whites. Does the white color fade as they grow or the opposite? what offspring to expect when they start breeding? Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I haven't worked with cards, so don't know first hand what to tell you. I would guess that sw x sw = sw ? Beautiful sw you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks, They are still small but solid white, I hope they stay like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Man I had a difficult time finding them when I was looking. Congrats on a great find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 if the white starts fading its stress of some kind at least most of the time. snow whites should stay pretty solid white. snow white is like a high grade golden i do believe Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungle64 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi Shrimpo, How long have you been keeping them? How young are they? I wish i have time to go to your house to see them. Are their babies going to be all whites? If their parent are both SW with red gene then 25% SW 50% SW/red gene 25% CRS If i can remember those correctly. Correct me if i am wrong. ctaylor3737 and Louie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 You would be correct if shrimp followed punnet squares. Unfortunately (from my experience) it isn't so neatly wrapped up. Hungle64 and Pika 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah, I think very few things in nature actually break down on the traditional, basic, Punnet dominant/recessive thing. There's SO much else going on genetically, and so many other things turning genes "on and off". But I haven't bred these guys myself, so don't know what one would expect.

ctaylor3737 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ill have to watch your posts, always been interested in these but just have never gotten any. Will be cool to see what you can do with them. Hungle64 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 You definitely have an easier(?) time with crystals since they can throw things and not get messed up along the way. Neos don't work that way at all. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungle64 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hey Shrimpo ! Thank you for starting this thread! I think we will learn a whole lot from others here. I actually have learned couple things from a gentleman who are keeping the purest snow white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Do tell, Hungle, do tell. I want to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Very interesting. Please continue, shrimp look fantastic by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungle64 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 If snow white had been selective breeding for the purest white would developing a blue tint on cheeks and legs. The blue is more vidvid on legs than cheeks. Til next time....LOL Don't want to hijack this from Shrimpo. He won't be able to anticipate until the evening.

Shrimpo Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Continue Hungle64, no problem at all, I want to learn too. I had these for a week now, they are about 1/4'' or so, according to the breeder I got them from he said that he been selectively keeping and breeding the whitest from his colony.

As he pointed out to me that when you pick snow white at young age don't go for the whitest ones. The white developing too early consider as lower quality. The higher quality would be those shrimps that have an off white spreading out evenly. Those will be developing into higher form of white with a little blue tint. Do you see any blue tint on their cheeks and legs? If breeder had been selective breeding for color then your shrimp offsprings will be white. Occationally they will throw a golden at you.

Hungle64 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Earlier of Taiwan bee's, there was no blue bolt. During those cross-breeding time they use snow white then came the blue bolt. Keep in mind these things i learned from my mentor, if any you think not correct please jump in. NOT THAT I HAVE DOUBT IN HIM ! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 There is no visible blue tint, at least on the 5 shrimp that came closer to the front, I don't know about the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something he told me to look for in Snow white. In the future also check to see the eggs color. If it is light blue then it had been crossed with white bee. If it is not then they are mutation of CBS/CRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 So I have a question. If one wanted high quality opaque coverage of white snow white with no blue tint, then would you still look for blue tint- or pick without blue tint?

mayphly Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I have a few Goldens that developed the blue tint around the face once they were adults. The blue didn't show when they were young. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
