Mattaquarium Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Been researching a lot on cross breeding shrimp and one combo that has me curious that I havent seen anything on is Orange eye blue/black tigers and Red Tigers? Anyone know what this combo would produce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vshrimp Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Never done that cross but I've done RBTxTT which is a different type of tiger crossing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk Wow thats interesting though. Didnt expect that look to come from that crossing. Looks almost like a super tiger? Curious to whether if anyone has crossed with red tigers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattaquarium Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wow no one has cross bred with red tigers? Interesting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafsta Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm planning on crossing Wild-type tiger (like Super Tiger but not as large) with Red Tiger. I would expect that the Black and Red genes are on the same allele, with Black being dominant over red. So it should work like this; Expression - Black Striped x Red Striped Genes - Black/Black x red/red Offspring should be; 50% Black/red - expressing as Black Striped 50% red/Black - expressing as Black Striped Then one of those back to Red parents; Black/red x red/red Giving offspring; 50% Black/red - expressing as Black Striped 50% red/red - expressing as Red Striped. The same works for Orange eye, which is recessive. So Orange eye would be present but hidden in all of the first cross. depends what you do next on the cross back. Now... what about Blue..... how does blue work? Is it the flesh or the shell that is affected? I don't know this answer. I am expecting blue is recessive and that it is probably 2 or 3 genes combined producing different shades of blue. Anyone got thoughts?

I agree with you on the OE as my cross of F1 (TTxRBT) x RBT off springs appeared to have OE. Some have normal eyes but most have OE. Now for color. I'm getting OE clear shrimplets, OE blue shrimplets, and blue shrimplets. Don't have any pics of them yet cause they're pretty small and newborns. Pertaining to colors on the blue shrimplets. They are more translucent than opaque like OEBT. My guess is shrimps with OE tend to not have opaque colors or and no whites as you can see on others variants of OE shrimps that are popping up in the market. On the color of stripes. If it follows the same laws as the Mendel's Law of inheritance then yes. From my experience with my own breeding projects it never works out that way.
