Giant Tibee

[ineke]

Just a question where the giant Tibee came from? Are they just a large Tibee or a different strain? I ask because I have a very large Tibee that originally came from Ninja. She has been berried a few times and seemed to carry full term but I have not seen any babies. She makes the other Tibees look like juvies. Unfortunately she is back in my big tank and very hard to get a picture of her with some thing next to her to show her size. I'm not planning on doing anything with her as she appears to only have sterile eggs but just interested in her size.

I've got an unproven theory on the gaint Tibee, as I had originally assume they were infertile as well…..there's a thread here I posted a while back, and on the same day another member confirmed his was berried, mine was berried too…… Coincidentally, I got some different Tibee variations, but can't be 100% sure if they were from the giant Tibee or other tibee's in the tank..... Since that batch, I've not had any other giant tibee's, and would treat them special, as I reckon they hold a different genetic.......and to add to that theory, my zeb pinto's were evolved from those different variations.... So ineke, start hunting for her :-)

I will see if I can catch her tomorrow but we leave Wednesday and won't be back for a couple of weeks. She is easy enough to see not so easy to catch.

I have a giant male , I just assumed they where all larger than normal shrimp

I haven't been able to have him breed with my CRS yet

I will post a picture tomorrow

He is atleast twice the size of my fully grown CRS ( atleast I think its a he )

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to get a picture of mine today , we had to travel through the Barossa Valley today and ran into some of the bikes in the Tour Down Under so we were slowed down getting to the kennels with our poor dogs. Spent the rest of the day with final packing and water changes for the shrimp. Will have to wait until we get back now.
