Mischlings question

[ctaylor3737]

Does the TB gene get passed from a mischling,to a regular crystal I'd they breed?

-Chris

[wicca32]

if you breed a mischling female to a male crs then yes the babies will have tb genes but more than likely look like crystals

[ctaylor3737]

Ah ok, I have a few crystals and wondered if i should move them in there.

-Chris

[wicca32]

it waters down the tb gene by adding more crs. meaning you will have less and less chance of getting tb and more and more chance of just getting crs. the best way to get more tb is by adding a male tb to the mix 

[ctaylor3737]

Yea I wish I could afford one, still scared to take the plunge on a single shrimp. If,I could find some in the 20$ range I would probably feel better but,not great. Guess it's an investment. Figured mischlings, were better to start with. They didn't ship,well.

my tb traveld quite well and didnt lose any color in shipping. i was lucky and they were offered to me. if nothing else i would get more mischlings. i have a feeling tb will be a good price once speedie gets back into it.

[ctaylor3737]

Definantly, hope so. Its absurd to pay, some of the prices. I can see them being higher for being rare that's fine but some are just crqzy

So I'm confused. To is Taiwan bee? So there's no acronym for tibee? What if you breed a tibee with a mischling female? Will any to pop out.

[Soothing Shrimp]

I use TiB for Tibee.

TB = taiwan bee ie black king kong, blue bolt, panda, wine red, ruby red, shadow panda, shadow bkk.

 

tibee = tiger x bee cross ie crs/cbs

 

Ta-Tibee = taiwan bee (tb) x tibee (tiger x crs) 

 

if you breed a tibee with mischling female you could get ta-tibee or one that just looks like a mischling. also most of the time when you cross tigers with bee of any kind it takes a few generations to see anything cool. they normally look like tiger shrimp for a while

[Subtletanks91]

So what do tai tibees look like?

[wicca32]

try google probably all kinds of things.

[OblongShrimp]

Tibees can be really cool mixes between tigers and CRS but vary a LOT depending on which species were used originally and how many generations out you are.  I would suggest checking out google for some pictures. 

[Soothing Shrimp]

Ah, but he said tai- tibees.

I am so confused by all of this. I feel like in sitting in algebra class with a mind f*** going on how to solve the equation.

[Dukendabears]

Only ways to get taiwan bees... Mischling x mischling , mischling x taiwan bee (female mischling preferably) or taiwan bee x taiwan bee

I know what you mean, I put this stuff on the back burner til i find time to soak it all up.  Its definitely interesting and the prospect of getting beautiful shrimps and not knowing what they are until later is pretty cool too
