    I grabbed an Xbox over Christmas and only recently started to play it. Any other xbone gamers here? So far I've finished COD Infinite Warfare and Halo 5. Currently playing Mass Effect Andromeda.

    Hi Guys! Hope you don't see this as spam, as I am only interested in growing the hobby. Please check out my YouTube Channel and tell me what you think. I only started recently, but hopefully you guys can learn something as I have learned allot while making them. (PLEASE give me feedback on what you think?)

    I feel the need to look for yellow TT's now as I want something that will breed true... and the yellow shrimp can be quite stunning! Someone recently brought up the YKK's in a group... first question being their's, the other two a couple of the responses. I'm actually considering possibly setting up a TT colony to see if I could ever get my own yellows, knowing full well that could take several years to achieve, if at all! LOL

    The white head is unusual but I have seen white zebra stripes on the back of KK's. If as some claim the yellow KK have Taitibee in them that would explain the head markings. Unfortunately with any shrimp that has hybrid genes in their back ground there is always a small chance of throw backs. I have a huge Taitibee population - so big I have had to put some outside in a pond- and I continue to get similar patterns showing up after several generations without that pattern having been seen. I struggle to get any truly consistent results in my Taitibee patterns except for CRS and Taiwan Bee patterns- once I start getting them back they seem to continue to breed true - but the patterns I want don't want to stabilise even after 12 generations where most of mine are now. Thats one of the reasons I don't believe my Yellows are hybrids as they are continuing to breed true.

    I think that is how many of our shrimp varieties have been started. If you look at the wild caught shrimp that started the hobby all the shrimp we keep have come from mutations in the wild original strains. if you search pictures of various colonies - in this case take the Tangerine Tigers - you will see variations in the colour in the colony now normally anything that doesn't come up to the colour or pattern we desire we cull from the colony but if something interesting as in my yellows we take them out and try to breed that variation or mutation. In the case of Fishmosy-the other member who found a variation in his colony - he prefered the green shrimp so he is trying to breed green tigers from the green tinge Tangerine Tigers he has. incidently as I mentioned before we both found these variations around the same time. Probably due to the limited stock here initially our breeding colonies are probably related even though we live in entirely different states. Back to the yellow KK no one will really share the breeding and how they got them- or at least the many breeders I have contacted will not share or cannot share the genetic makeup of their Yellow KK and I have tried contacting many breeders all over the world not just australia. Initially it was thought they were related to Taiwan Bees but some breeders dispute this even though they won't say how they bred theirs. It is however apparantly agreed that there is Tangerine Tiger genetics in the Yellow KK. At this stage I will continue breeding them to stabilise the colour until I can find someone interested in taking over my colony. Regardless of how stable I get the colour - and it seems very stable at this stage- I will always mention that they are Yellows form Tangerine Tigers as it is important for breeders to know where their stock comes from.

    What I have done in the meantime is limit quotes to 5 lines (I can increase if needed)
