Shrimpmaster Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi, I've got a very nice Pinto group, but they seems to be almost all male. Normally with Taiwan Bee, I just add a nice Crystal Red to breed some Mischling / Hybrids and expand the group like that. But I'm not sure, when adding a female Crystal Red to the Pinto group, will all the offspring be Mischling with the Pinto gene? Any thoughts on this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miwu Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yes, that doesn't sound like a good way to breed tibee pinto mischlings although you'll not be able to produce pintos in F1. Offspring of a pinto x CRS cross will be tibees (one copy of TB gene and varying degrees of tiger gene expressions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yeah your right, so I should breed some Tibee's first to breed mischlings? In other words, it's not an easy route to breed some mischlings to expand this group. So I have to keep my fingers crossed for some offspring.

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 What about TB x Pinto? JamesHe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks, could be an option maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 From what I have been told if you dont have a Pinto to cross with a pinto best to cross with a Mosura KK. Still a long way to go to get back to Pinto, this was my original plan but I just ended up buying more pintos and now I have a pair of Zebras and a trio of spot head German pinto with two more German spot heads on the way. I figure in the long run it is worth my money to get a pair instead of diluting the Pinto genes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpmaster Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yeah good point. Since it's still unclear (to me) what the pinto is exactly, I might not go on the path of mixing in genes I might not want into this group.I have a group op 10, and when one molted, 8 of them were doing the shrimp dance. So I believe up to 8 might be males. That's why I was wondering if there was a short way to create Pinto Mischling. I might better be patient a little longer or else get some guaranteed Pinto females. So I will change my route. But if anyone know the exact way of breeding Pinto Mischling, i'm still interested to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Fancy tiger x pinto? yup use female fancy tiger with pinto gene X pinto. High5's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Pinto x CRS/CBS you will get some tibee some mischlings with pinto gene. This would take a long time and results would be random. Pinto x pinto is best and will produce mostly pintos. With fancy tiger x pinto you wouldn't be producing mischlings but I think its the fastest way to more pintos if you cant do pinto x pinto.
