Tpshrimper Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Question for the forum. I've got this absolutely gorgeous BKK with a green backstripe. Bought her as a BKK extreme and the stripe slowly appeared as she got older. Is this indicative of some mixed genes? A simple mutation? She also just had her first batch of babies with what looks like some interesting patterns so I'm guessing she's not just pure BKK. Let me know what you guys and gals think.

JonRon Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 If I am not mistaking. Many females will get a back-stripe. My Aura Blue females have them. However; the males do not. It is possible for you to breed them with the "racing stripe". I do not know how this works. Or the genetics of it. The way yours look on that female. It could pass onto other Shrimp including males. If so, You could try making a fishbone pattern. Hope to have given you some insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vshrimp Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Looks like a backline taitibee. It has tiger genes in it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpshrimper Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 These are 3 of her shrimplets, do you think these have tiger genes as well? Looks like it to me but don't have experience with crossbreeds yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
