neilshieh Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 So I have a colony of supreme reds where the original stock was from speedie over on TPT. They've been inbreeding for a while and I'm looking to introduce some new blood to up the baby survival rate as well as the gene pool. The problem is I don't think others have every imported supreme reds... and apparently they're a slightly different hue than pfr's. Anyone have any idea about if I'd have problems crossing a supreme red with a pfr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0p Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Do you have pics of them? Not a type i've heard of, and will have to do some reading on. Thank you for continuing to expand my knowledge, just wish I could be of more help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I remember Speedies imported supremes. To my knowledge red x red = red, however you are right that you will lose the specific hue unless you cull frequently to get back to it. You can run a test by buying one or two fr or pfr from a member and crossing them in a separate box to make sure you don't wind up with wilds. I don't think you will, however better to be safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 What's a supreme red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilshieh Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 They're just a selected strain of pfr or something but apparently their red is a brighter orangish red than pfr's darker blood red. I think someone compared the two side by side before and said they could definitely see a color difference. Idk here are google images (https://www.google.com/search?q=supreme+red+shrimp&safe=off&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=921&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=wV6EVYPCFcOyogSQ9IPYBw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg) here's a crappy iphone photo i took a while back http://imgur.com/3I9kQ5y I'll try to get some pfr's and see what happens.

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Did you contact Nick ? He isn't importing anymore but may have a personal colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Honestly I can't tell a difference since google gives the same shrimp for all this names PFR, Supreme Red, Sakura Red, High Grade Red. It's 50 shades of Red. JamesHe and Amyers22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think its just a term for very solid reds...whereas the Bloody Mary's are almost shiny red plastic looking. Maybe cross some BMs with yours and see what you get. I know ShrimpUSA had the BMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
