Lkleung Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi All, I new to the world of shrimp keeping so please forgive me if this is a stupid question but would like to know what would happen if I put in one tank Red and Black Pintos together. Will I get mainly black shrimplets/offspring since black is the dominant color?? Or will get an even distribution of red and black?? Or should I just keep the red separate from the black Pintos?? I guess the same is true for Red and Black Fancy tigers. Thanks for any advice!! Lester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 You will get more black ones then red. Its a personal choice if you want to keep them together or seperate. I have never noticed any compromise in the black or red coloration when I had them together vs when they were seperated by color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkleung Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi Shrimp Life, Thank you for your response!! This really helps because I was going to purchase about 6 Red and 4 Black Pintos and it didn't make sense to put them in separate 10 gallon tanks with so few in number. I guess this also holds true for the Red and Black Fancy tigers too?? Best regards, Lester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
