shrimpsf Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I noticed a couple of these guys pop up from my TB colony. Has anybody have this experience before ? mbenjamin16, Dendrobatez, JosephKex and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0p Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 They are beautiful! Hopefully you get more! Not sure if pinto or not? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 That's not a random mutation from just TB's. It took breeders years of hard work to get Pintos so either you bought them with pinto genes or at some point they could have been crossed with pintos. The real question is where did you get the original TB colony & how long has it been going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Agree with Greenteam, your TB carries Pinto gene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Wow! Those are Pintos and are really sharp! As stated, when did you first buy your TBs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 The original stock came from Speedie a few years ago. That was when he first started importing shrimp from Germany. Started out with 5 pandas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Interesting. Are these your first Pintos from that stock? Did you add additional TBs or Tiger shrimp to the mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 i have never introduced any pintos into my colony.This colony started 2/2012. so little over 3 years. To build up the population i crossed them with CRS to produce mischlings. Main colony. h4n and eozen81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 A few months ago i set up 2 tanks. 30 pieces of black TB's and 30 pieces red TB's. I wanted to see if they breed true. The reds bred out all red TB's. Colors ranging from Light red to dark maroon red. The black TB's on the other hand produced both black and red TB's. That was interesting. There were a couple of shadow hino TB's in that tank . i noticed some mosura and spotted head TB's. mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Great picture! Very interesting for sure. Congratulations on obtaining Pintos without going through the long process of creating them from scratch. Not sure why your red TBs never produced any other color. In CBS/CRS, black is the dominant gene, and red was the recessive thus being bred out. I would of guessed at least the marbled/dragon wine reds would have a decent chance to produce black TBs.

shrimpsf Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yes it took a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 would you consider these spotted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 would you consider these spotted ? Yes. If they had no spots, they would be called "Skunk". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Pic of red tank. The black wants to come out. Only dragon patterns. No solid black. Dark maroon only. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 It did take quite sometime for the Pinto Gene to come out. Maybe in time the Black coloration will come out. Not sure, great experiment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miwu Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Beautiful shrimps! I was under the impression that TB's imported from Germany are "pure" and would not have pinto genes, but what a pleasant surprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I am pretty sure Nick got these from Michel Nadal. Back then that was when they started to develop those German pintos. ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
