Duff0712 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 HOLA!!! Been awhile since I've been on here, but I have a question. Well more of an am I right? I have mischlings, lots and lots of mischlings. I am quite positive that I have gotten several King Kongs/ Pandas from them, but I'm not quite sure. Between a Crystal Black Mischling and a Black King Kong/Panda, do the KK/Pandas have a black face and the Crystals have white faces? It's pretty easy to tell when they are mostly black, but those that look more like Pandas, I just want to make sure I know what they actually are and can tell the difference. If I am wrong, what is the best way to tell the difference? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 That's the way I have told them apart...well that and the thickness of pigment. Duff0712 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 BKK has true black color (with blue tint), CBS has black color with chocolate tint, not true black. Duff0712 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eozen81 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 A very clear distinction is the color of the babies. BKK and Panda babies' color are bluish whereas CBS is like CBS all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I believe bkk's have a black nose/face also, while cbs tend to have white nose/face. Soothing Shrimp and JamesHe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 The antenna is yellow/brown-ish of BKK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenPepper Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Please correct me if I'm wrong. I notice BKK and CBS they have different body shape. BKK got slimmer body line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I believe bkk's have a black nose/face also, while cbs tend to have white nose/face. I actually looked two nights ago and all my BKK and Pandas have black faces and noses. EricM, Duff0712 and Soothing Shrimp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Is it too early to make a distinction or can I be excited about this little guy? He has a bluish tint and the aforementioned black face. svetilda and JamesHe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Early to be absolutely certain, yes. I would say 99% sure though its a Taiwan Bee. The blue tint unfortunately will turn to your common black, the good news is it looks like you have a No-Entry Hinomaru Panda!!

monty703 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yep I would say that's a BKK offspring, doesn't look like any CBS Ive known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
