Soothing Shrimp Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I was holding some TB in my crs tank that I am trying to make all red through selective breeding. This was several months ago. One BB berried and gave "birth" before being moved to her own tank, so misch are mixed up with my red project. I left them in. Now I find what looks like a CWB in the tank?!? The TB have already been moved about awhile ago, so I can only guess that this came from the BB x Red breeding. Any TB x Red offspring are still small, and not old enough to breed. My Reds have clear spaces where the white would be. Some people refer to these as D grades. I'm pretty positive they are not misch. heh This shrimp in question has clear spaces where the red would be. Anyway, here is a poor pic of my "CWB" No idea how the genetics worked on this...Does this look like a CWB to anyone else?

Ren Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 If you take out the faded white it kind of looks like those fancy ghost bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ren, I thought it looked like ghost bee too, which is why it's confusing to me. Here's a pic of Dukendabears ghost bees/cwb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightshadebel Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Well some breeders bred tb with ghost bees for a better chance of tb.so it could be in the genes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I was talking about those Mk breed ghost bees that look like crs but without the white. To breed to not breed Soothing? How are the all red crs going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Well, I do have some with little to no white. This may tell you how they are doing as well. And burred as it is, I like this pic. One with white and no red, and one with red and no white. heh mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I wonder if I breed the shrimp in the last pic together, if I would get a clear crystal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukendabears Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 That does look like a ghost, its "brain" appears a little darker than my ghosts but that could just be lighting. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukendabears Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Red ghosts are looking good too. Look pretty close Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 that's what crystal white bees look like, and it looks just like mine, only yours still has a littlebit of red left. If you want these, separate that one and try to find another with limited red andbreed them, you will eventually eliminate the red. If you look at that chart I posted you can seethat the CWB is in fact CRS with the red bred out of them. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I spotted another CWB look-alike in my tank. Ren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
