fishlover Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Time to set up another tank for these guys. Congrats! These shrimps are outstanding! Are these all from the same colony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks ! Yes, these guys are from the same colony. I will keep them in their own tank and see what happens in a few months. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimptek Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Noob question here but i thought i would ask seeing as you all seem to know what you are talking about with TB. What actually is the difference between a CRS/CBS and a TB ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 TB usually has a colored face and the pigment on the shell is much more solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The difference is like night and day. The coloration and thickness of colors. It is like CRS and CBS in steriods when it comes to coloration. The colors are more intense and pop out when you look at them. To get CRS and CBS to get the same intensity of colors take years of selective breeding to get the same results. About 7 to 10 years to develop your pure line to achieve the same results when it comes to color and thickness of the shells. Someone else chime in.

Shrimpscales Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 That's amazing! You are so lucky to get those. They look like nice quality as well. Now you will have to start a pinto breeding project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the answers,i recently got 15 R1 mischlings from Germany, and i just wondered what it was i should be looking for if and when they have babys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpsf Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 With F1 mischlings alone don't get your hopes up producing a lot of TB babies. Maybe 1% chance. You will have better odds by throwing in a few male TBs and let them breed with the female mischlings. Remove all the male mischlings . If you end goal is to produce a TB colony it will take some time. I have done this before when TBs were very expensive. But it's cool when you see a berried gal with different colored eggs !

Mines are R1 not F1 which are according to the German website offspring from a female mischling thats been crossed back with a male TB the baby's are called R1 and are meant to have a higher chance of TB than F1s. But i know jack shit about breeding so i could be wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Wow! Nice all black King Kongs, curious to see them as they mature, hopefully a male and female to reproduce lots of all pure black king kongs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I know backcrosses or back breeding of animals are usually referred to as BC1. Ie. P1 x F1 = BC1 Plants are usually referred to as R1 instead of BC1, if I remember correctly. Either way, the good intentions are there.

julianzh Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 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. is it normal for black TB to throw out red TB? just want to know if TB throw out the same color or random color of red/black/blue.

shrimpsf Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 In the black tank I would say less than 5% of babies are red. In the red tank 0% black. I just started a Red ruby tank about 50 pieces 2 months ago. Starting to see little rubys running around. Red seems harder to come by. I am pretty sure when the first TBs mutated in Taiwan they were black. Red color may be recessive. JamesHe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamtep Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Black TB can throw out some Red, if they carry red since it's recessive...
