Soothing Shrimp Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I've heard on occasions cbs can be thrown from crs. Has anyone here had that happen? EricM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barvinok Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Have crs for about two years and never got cbs. I read somewhere that black is dominant in crystals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Is most cases it is dom. I've read a while back that it sometimes pops up in CRS populations for no known reason. I can't find a real person to where it has happened to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriel RT Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 This happens a lot with Mischlings, Specially with generations of no TB introductions, Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pucksr Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hey, I hate to drag this back up. I would really like to MAKE this happen. I have a friend who is a biology teacher. She asked for some help setting up a tank for her classroom. I specifically thought that this might be a great species to demonstrate a genetic trait, as the red/black seems to be a single gene. However, I am trying to think of the best way to demonstrate this concept. A CBS tank? A mischlings tank? A mixed tank that slowly goes to black? Any ideas from the group?

I say go with a mischling group.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hman Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 One of my CRS threw 2 CBS about 3 months ago. The colony has been going for just over 18 months now. I can't speak for the genetics of my CRS, (bought on Ebay) but it did happen to me! Not the best picture, but I did manage to get them both...

izistar Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I can't tell for sure cuz of the picture quality but I would say those two black look a lot like taiwan bees, You are sure that u got 100% clean CRS and not some hybrids?

I suppose anything is possible, but these are the only two that I've seen in over a year of active breeding. I've moved them to my cull tank and will post some higher quality images tomorrow.

Hman Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Managed to get a few nice shots of the suspected CBS. I hadn't realized it before, but they both have a bit of red as well, one much moreso than the other. The first two images are of the more red shrimp, and the last two are of the more black one.

Shrimple minded Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Those are RKK/panda Taiwan Bees. Note the deeper coloration and red rostrom. That would mean some/all of your Crystals were crossed with TBs at some point (making your shrimp mischlings). CONGRATS!

Hman Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Wow, that's really neat! I hadn't even noticed the subtle red until I took the photos tonight. Now I just don't know what to do with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplepanda Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Got in 12 'high grade' CBS from Germany a year or two back, was not over impressed with the quality when they arrived. Now three generations later some good looking higher grades are appearing having not selectively bred and last week I noticed a couple of CRS in the latest batch of CBS young.. Always expect surprises in this hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izistar Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Heh..So I was right..:) ( eagle eye) ^^ happy for you really nice TB u have there..:) As for what to do with them..leave them in the tank..now that u know u have hybrids u can start to build tb colony '' from scrach'' ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
