King Kong

[maelstroem]

Hi

 

Hello - I am new to the forum.

 

I have never kept shrimps before ( have kept tropical fish in various types for many years ) but I am about to , I have all the gear ready to go but am moving house in a few weeks so waiting until then to get stuck in.

 

 

Now moving on to the title question / s ..... do King Kong shrimp breed true?

 

Does black X black always = black - same for red X red and yellow X yellow.

Also mixing the colours - I've read somewhere that black is dominant to red but the red can be carried in split form ,  where does the yellow form stand in this is it recessive to both black and red ?

 

I have noticed there are various patterns in KK ( extreme - with the tip of the tail white against a solid main colour ) but also some with bands on them, are these actual recognised patterns

or are they just better / worse grades ?

 

If they are recognised patterns - do the patterns breed true also ?

 

Which shrimp are required to breed KK's without using a KK as a parent?

 

Thanks

I'd ask the seller if they breed true, otherwise they will throw off random colors and patterns. I've heard of BKK throwing out all kind of colors and patterns though.
