Mischling x tiger outcomes

[smicko]

Totally agree with shrimpstan and kiwi, the potential is there for dishonesty and accidental selling of not pure tb/tiger I think buying from any of us that abide by the skf coc would be the only guarantee, unfortunately we can only control what we sell, but have able to give new breeders the opportunity to step up to tb without people doubting what they sell, otherwise their will only be a handful of trusted tb breeders which limits potential of creating new strains, it's a fine line, but skf can take the lead as we have in implementing the coc and pricing guide. Maybe a sellers money back guarantee of pure lines?

Loving the content so far. This is a subject close to my heart and I finally found a place that I can share ideas at....

Have you found misch x tiger to be the stable cross that gives you fertile F1.

Why not jump right in with Tibee x tiger ? For instance KK x OEBT .

FYI - and KK is a Taiwan Bee or TB NOT a Tibee - a Tibee is a tiger crossed to any sort of bee shrimp (CRS/CBS/TB)

Someone (BB/Dean/Ninja etc) with more experience in crosses should comment/clarify.

Ha ha ha that's what my brain was telling me at 5 55 am the fingers weren't up to speed just yet. - yes I meant Taiwan bee. Since you clarified that CRS/CBS and TB could make Tibee when crossed to Tiger it makes more sense to use mischling as they already contain the Taiwan Bee gene. But I am still curious to find out if anyone has bred Taiwan x Tiger straight off the bat :)

I'm sure Bluebolts has some in Area 51! Come on BB, have ya? Have ya?

I guess it all comes down to a couple things... we are trying to put colour onto what was already a wild type pattern , second by making these crosses we hope to open up new pathways for colour cells to express themselves. What we really need to find out and I can't wait for are Autosomal dominant mutations to appear in the hobby- seems now all we have to play with are recessive colour patterns.

Well the more I dig around this great forum the more I learn about our shrimp! This place has taught me more in the last two hours than I found out in two weeks of researching the www.

I just discovered you have a Magenta colour mutation :Scratch-Head: awesome!

Feel free to correct me at any stage... I am still a noob :)
