Shrimpmaster Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 This picture is an evident that Yellow KK is TT x TB 10303447_782207055232015_6299911293304608218_n.jpg Do you have more info about these shrimp on this picture?

JamesHe Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Do you have more info about these shrimp on this picture? My friend use YKK interbreed with other TB, and some offspring are in that picture. It looks like throwback to TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plamski Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 From all listed shrimps TT are the most active "Lovers" There are possibilities this to be TT+TT offspring. In my 200 TT population time to time pops shrimps like this one.Colors are little bit more yellow than original TT orange color and no stripes at all. If the flash have been used the light orange looks that yellow. Yellow with flash gets very clear and pale. All those statement are my own observation but I can't guarantee that they are 100% true in this case. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks for the info. And for the moment, I will call them Yellow Bastards . The story keeps developing: 1. As I wrote before, I crossed one Yellow Bastard with Black TB. First I though there was no offspring at all, but there are some indeed! I count about 15 of them. They look a lot like the pictures above of James Aquatics, but also they have some Zebra pattern. I will post some pictures later. 2. More and more yellow ones are popping up in the mix tank. So Plamski, you could be right. 3. Because I had only 3 Yellow Bastard females in the first time, I added some TT males to them. Their offspring is just released. The look kinda pink/orange, not yellow so far, but they are stil very small. I will have to wait a couple of weeks before I can see how they look.

Shrimpmaster Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 And as promised, this are the offspring of the 'Yellow Bastard' x KingKong/Panda: Kinda cool little shrimp they are. Not sure what to do with them. Maybe wait for the F2 what it will be. JamesHe, Crazyfishlady, ShrimpP and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda.m.amundsen.1 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 They are Beautiful! You should call them "Gold Nugget" because they look metallic gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiumanfu Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Those are awesome! I think full metallic gold will be an extremely popular shrimp. You could name your price! I would focus on these guys and try to enhance the gold coverage. Can't wait to see what F2 looks like. Keep up updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Oops, I did not realize you like them so much, I just saw them as a side result and put them into my mixed tank. They are still very recognizable, so if you like I will track them for you and update some pictures in a few weeks. Back to the yellow one who started this topic: so far, with something like a hundred young shrimp in the mix tank, so far not a single yellow one is popping up anymore. So the ones that I separated in a new tank are still the only one. I count 3 (big) females and one (hope so) male of 1cm. I really hope they will give some offspring. I also had removed 2 of them, because when they grow up the had different shade of color, a little more green of they had just a few very minuscule black stripes. So it's very exiting to see if a colony will be born or the adventure will slowly ends. If this would happens, I could go back to the golden ones above to give them their own tank. But for now, fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiumanfu Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think the Yellow Bastard x King Kong/Panda is a much more interesting project than YKK. I know YKK are rare but IMHO they look just like yellow neos. Looks like it's time for another tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda.m.amundsen.1 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'll be the first in line for those yellow b x kk ones. I think metallic gold would be popular! Edwardnah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the king kongs black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the king kongs black? To be honest, it's confusing me too. I understand you like these golden ones, but keep in mind it's only the first generation. Noting stable or true breeding. I expect that the offspring will be all kind of colors and patterns. I focus on these yellow bastards at the moment, because i'm kinda curious about them. They seem not be the same like the so called YKK I've seen on pictures. And if I have a little group of them, I can repeat the cross with a black TWB any time I want. But if the Yellow ones end, I won't have something to cross with for sure. Thanks for the feedback and I will be back on this in some time.

Chiumanfu Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Remember to keep track of the KK that was the father. The mutation might be some thing special in his genes. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 A small update. I found a few more yellow ones in my mix tank! So now I have a group of 8 shrimp in their own tank. Some are very nice yellow and some are more brown/yellow. So maybe selection could bring something nice. You can find more pictures of them on my blog: http://www.shrimpmaster.net/photobook/39/yellow-bastard-first-pieces.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may create your own line of YKK. I'd like to have some once you have colony going. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuthatch Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Your shrimp are beautiful! I would be thrilled to have a tank of varied colors (that wouldn't end up all brown). But then, I would be thrilled if I could manage to keep my neos alive! LOL! Live & learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
