Stitch Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 So I've been reading a lot of journals lately and noticed that almost everyone use OEBT to create their pintos. Does using OEBT produce pintos faster compared to other tigers? Im planning on setting up a couple tanks to try and make my own pinto but ATM I only have regular tigers, TB, and some fancy red tigers. When mixed together, will these produce pintos or do I have to get OEBT/BTOE? I believe that my fancy Reds are from red tiger x red TB. They are mostly white with red stripes.

Vshrimp Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Not an expert at creating pintos but yes the fancy tigers are tibees and to get pintos. Just breed back to a TB. Thats my understanding of creating pintos. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk Mr. F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I tried doing that and had problems with BTOE/OEBT lasting more than couples of months in softwater/low ph. Mine would die. I would love to find someone who has bred and raised multiple generations in soft water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakarot Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I'm sure you can use any tigers to make a pinto. After crossing tigerxTB, It's all about selecting the right pattern from tibee offsprings to continue with. From what I've read before, a cross with OEBT will produce pinto offsprings sooner.

DETAquarium Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Three reasons I used OEBT in my OEBT x BB project. 1) I already had them. 2) I wanted to ensure blue genetics whether female or male bred would be passed on. 3) The chance that orange eyes as a recessive trait would be passed. It is all based on preference and what you end goal is. Breeding to pinto patterns takes time, this isn't an over the night project, I have been working on my project for quite sometime, but I want to do it right the first time. So far I am very pleased with my quality and patterns I have received. Hope this helps! DETAquarium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 So can I use fancy tigers to make pinto? And by fancy tiger I mean the one where they're all white with tiger stripes. Still not clear about this because I don't see any pinto patterns on my fancy tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
