Subtletanks91 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've been on tpt and there's been some small debate about whether tb came from mutations or came from breeders tanks in Taiwan who let there tanks run rampid and they kinda just popped up. So does anyone have any information on this any links to back up theory and turn it to fact. Let's get to the bottom of it. I would like to know a little more back ground on taiwans personally but googling yields me nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I mentioned it there, too, but I think TB came from tiger x crs. If anyone has the B&K #1 mag, I think a breeder mentioned that. Otherwise it will take me a day or two to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I also heard that Taiwan Bee came from a mutation of selective breeding for colors/patterns of CBS/CRS/GOlDEN and SNOW WHITE. May be the breeder from Asia had Crystal Red with Tiger's Gene that he did not realize. I had spending the last 5 year learning koi's gene for breeding. My main purpose for better health and size. I need to stay away from shrimp mutation! Otherwise my koi going to be BLUE BOLT pattern. Wait a minute! I want BLUE BOLT koi. May be i am just following along with you guys.

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 LOL We need someone to figure out colors in shrimp. Unfortunately most colors are just cultivars from selective breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I nominate Bryce foe figuring out colors in shrimp. Lol I've seen that chart so many times but it doesn't explain how they came about. To many theory and no fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 there are 2 theorys that i know of one is that its a mutation that popped up in crystal shrimp and the other is that it was a tiger x crystal cross. i dont think that there is a 100% way to prove what one it is but there is stuff out there that states it popped up about the same time in both germany and asia. and it might be a mix of the two theorys as well. im a member on several (about a dozen) shrimp groups on facebook with some awesome breeder and the topic has been brought up before. that was the answer i got when talking to them any way.

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Unfortunately, history of shrimp is quickly lost. There's just no one keeping this info. I've tried several times, but information is almost impossible to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 This is why we should keep journals of what we do how we do it and why we did it and the end result with photos. This way anything that pops up is t lost and the history behind it is kept in tact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
