Soothing Shrimp Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I can see whole lines of TB being messed up and bred with it, just because of the name alone. Too bad it wasn't just called a yellow taitibee or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungle64 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I also like to have some Crystal White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I am looking at spending between 20-$25 per PRL CRS. PRL can run into the hundreds of dollars (and much more) for one shrimp, so what are you willing to pay pricewise for a single prl? Price often determines opaqueness of white and brand name.

DETAquarium Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Will, Please send me a PM if you plan to do this and proceed with importing. I would probably be doing it on my own but giving people who preordered 20-30% off or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungle64 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Who else are interested in Crystal White ? Maybe we have enough people so Will would get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbarbee54 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yes crystal white bees would be awesome. So hard to come by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Wouldn't crystal white shrimp be skeletons selectively bred for a clear body and white stripe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 You could do it that way, but it would be a different var. cws is a TB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 -.- must have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbarbee54 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yes a cws also called some time white or clear King Kong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicente Mcdonnell Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I thought crystal white is a crystal bee and white king kong is the TB.

Sbarbee54 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 That is a on going debate among many breeders...... As the one I am looking for is all clear but a few white strip highlights, not like a skeleton. I have many of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I am weary on the yellow King Kong as it is really a tiatibee as it is a tb breed back to tt. That is how they came out with it. So I don't know how it would breed out to each other and to other type shrimpWhere did you get this info?(Just asking ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sbarbee shared the info with me, as well. He received the info direct from the breeder. He's incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to shrimp, so I value his input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbarbee54 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah straight from the breeder, I talk with him often online. He is a great breeder, but the push Taiwan and other countries have to get something to market concerns me. We see it with Carbon rilli not breeding true, orange rilli, Bloody Mary shrimp, blue diamonds and those are just some. I imagine if you kept them all by them self they might breed good and keep color, but I dont know about mixing them with other TB or CRS seeing they have TT blood in them. You might get a bunch of random undesired offspring. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Will, any updates on shrimp and pricing? I am primarily interested in PRL CRS if you are still planning on receiving them. Vicente Mcdonnell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
