mischlings and Tibee

Recommended Posts

TB x CRS or CBS = mischling , if those mischling's are crossed over a oebt or blonde tiger = Tibee. is this correct.????

To get your first F1 Tibee you cross a TB with a Tiger = Tibee. These are then crossed back to the Tiger or the TB giving F2 . I'm not sure what happens to the F number when a Mischling is thrown into the mix but as you want to end up with Pintos you need to keep crossing back the Tibees to the TB because Pintos need the intense colouring the TB gives. Throwing Mischlings into the mix would dilute what you are after. However if you just want fancy Tibees with different patterns and not going down the Pinto track then I think Mischlings and Crystals would be OK but really you should stick to the TB.

mmmmm, now i'm confused as i was told...M x Tiger then back over Tiger then back over mischling makes them F3 Tibee

Actually you are both, in a way, correct. Tibee is is a word that came from Tiger x Bee shrimp & Bee Shrimp are any Taiwan Bees, CRS, CBS, even Golden Bees or Snow Whites. So in a way I guess Mischlings are a Bee shrimp too. :thumbsu:

And there is also Tai-Tibee, where you cross a Tibee to a Taiwan Bee... too make it more confusing :)

Thanks for pointing that out Squiggs. When I've asked in the past I was told TB only and now this opens up my breeding program's because I have some very nice males that aren't PURE TB that I might be able to put to some of my female Tibees.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this topic.

Someone needs to write an article once and for all that can be a sticky thread.

That would be great. I also think that the thoughts on Tibee breeding have changed somewhat from when they first came on the scene and were a closely guarded secret! It's a bit like the Pinto breeding was even just a few months ago. It would be great to have up to date breeding info available to us all. 

When I got my first Tibees they were given on the strict understanding that I didn't breed with them -they were all supposed to be males anyway but I had a female in the mix and she berried before I realised. Within weeks of getting them the Tibees were showing up all over the place- we had our first Tibee auction at that time so i was allowed to start using them.But they were all Tiger to TB back then.

Ok.

I'm drafting something.

 

But I just realised something ... I don't know what a Tibee x Mischling is ???

Anyone?

 

What do you call a Tibee crossed with a Mischling? (pariah? LOL)

Is this hybrid advisable?

Or is this diluting the genes too much?

:lol:

 

Tibee crossed with a Mischling must be a "no go" zone.

Don't even try it, as you'd revert back to a wild type shrimp.

 

 

<edit> - Actually, come to think of it, Tibee X Mischling might be used as gene carriers, as Petfish mentions below.

You'd use it to crossbreed back with a pure breed.

 

But I still don't know what the term is for a Tibee X Mischling.

Not Tibee x Mischling , Mischling x tigerpost-846-0-24401000-1412228136_thumb.jpgthis is Mischling x tiger then back over tiger then back over Mischling now f3 actually F4 when you count the origanal 2 x's which were PANDA x TIGER and KK x CBS .i believe the TIGER used was a OEBT.

i am still finding this confusing but will attemt to explain what i have, it appears they are f4 not f3, originally panda x tiger = Tibee at the same time          KK x CBS = mischlings the Tibee's were then x'ed over the Mischling's, then the shrimp from that x were put back over the tiger, the shrimp from that x were then put back over the mischling ...and that is what i have now ,the shrimp from the last x = f4 shown in the pic above ^^^^^ the original KK and Panda came from Dean when he owned Boss Aquaria.......

You'd use it to crossbreed back with a pure breed. With it, will come dominant and recessive genes.

But I still don't know what the term is for a Tibee X Mischling.

 

Waiting on this before I post the draft article.

To my understanding the f system was used for fish as a way to determine how many generation from wild caught stock.And has now been applied to shrimp.Fist thing, is this was used for pure breed fish not hybreeds as tigerbees are but you can adapt it to do so.

One thing you have to have clear is what is the hybreed .Lets say tibee ,being a tiger x bee shrimp. 

Ok tiger being any pure tiger no matter what colour and bee shrimp no matter what type.

So TB CRS CBS GOLDEN OR MINSHLING ARE ALL BEE SHRIMP.

And BLUE BLONDE BLACK OR ORANGE EYE ARE ALL TIGERS.

Thuss every gen crossed with any combo of the above would add to the f number as long as one of the pair was a tibee.

EG /CBS X BLUE TIGER=TIBEE F1

       TIBEE F1XTIBEE F1=TIBEE F2

       TIBEE F1Xany bee shrimp=F2

       TIBEE F1X any tiger shrimp=F2

and so on and so on the only way this would change is if you added another breed of shrimp.Then the process would start again

with a new seiries of f numbers with the Addition of being able to breed any combo of the 3 SP involved.

Daydream if that works for F1 Tibee x F1 Tibee = F2 Tibee why is it that if you breed an lets Say F 4 Mischling x F4 Mischling the F number goes back to F1?. This is where it gets so confusing - I'm asking because I really don't know the answer but if the F number goes up for Tibees surely it must for Mischlings yet we keep getting told the babies go back to to F1.

Hopefully we can get this all sorted with this thread . Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I think there must be lots of us with tanks full of male Mischlings which we have been told are virtually worthless in any of our breeding programs - at least this is what has been said in the past on the forum.

Yes there needs to be a definite clarifacation made but the diff between breeding tb minshling with minshling is the % of tb not getting higher but,but saying that your % is not going back either so in my opinionF4tbminshling x tbF4minshling you are still at F4 as you are noy gaining or loosing % of tb gene. With tibee x tibee % is still 100% and crossing tibee with minshling or any other bee shrimp you get 100% tibee and tibee cross tiger 100% tibee as they are a hybreed.

EG /CBS X BLUE TIGER=TIBEE F1

       TIBEE F1XTIBEE F1=TIBEE F2

       TIBEE F1Xany bee shrimp=F2

       TIBEE F1X any tiger shrimp=F2

 

 

 

Don't forget also Tibee F1 X CBS or BLUE TIGER Parent = F2.

 

But 

TIBEE F1Xany bee shrimp=F2

TIBEE F1X any tiger shrimp=F2

would not be the same genealogy anymore. The Filial number would go back to F1.

 

Draw it as a picture. Start with two shrimp, the parents. The offspring is connected to the parents. 

As soon as a shrimp is added that is not linked to either parents or offspring, the Filial number starts again.

 

F4 Mischling from one parent X with another F4 Mischling from a different set of parents also go back to F1.

Yes different gene pool but still tibee 100% as any cross of the given sp would result in a tibee.AS with the tb even if from different parents the % of tb is f4 no gain no loss.

This is where it gets hard for those of us that aren't so understanding of genetics. I can't get my head around why the Mischling x Mischling goes back to the start as in F1 . In my thoughts they would stay static at what ever F number they are as Daydream stated F4 xF4 = F 4 . But I accept whatever the forum in general puts forward once we have sorted it - hopefully we can!

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony. 
    • sdlTBfanUK
      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
