Need some guidance for describing some shrimps.

I am just wondering how I should be describing certain shrimps.

If I were to cross a Pinto with a Taiwan Bee (TB) and I got some TB's. How do I describe it to someone. I have was thinking TBM with pinto gene but then if I crossed a Pinto with TBM and got some TB's what would they be called? Same with crossing to tatibees and so on. Maybe they are just culls but they still look awesome. What is the opinion out there?

Only reason I ask is that I really have no idea myself and since I am messing around with these types of shrimp. I know someone will ask me about it, So it would be good to give them a standard answer.

good question -I have been wondering too as I have KK from Tibee/Mischling. I noticed Squiggle mentioned one and I think he called it a Tibee KK. It is going to get quite confusing with all the different types that we are crossing now. Look forward to reading the answers.

Just describe it as accurately as possible.

"TB from Pinto x TBM" or

"TB from Pinto x TB" or

"TB from Taitibee x TB".

 

Just calling it TB would be partially accurate. So do the right thing and call it what it is.

Actually this does seem like the best way of doing it. So I can also use it  to say "Mischling from Pinto x TBM" straight forward. 

Usually I feel like I am over explaining it and making it even more confusing lol

Think it's safer to over elaborate on genetic heritage. Then buyer knows what they at potentially getting. I think TBM should only be used for tb x mischlings. Jayc's suggestions look spot on.
