Blue Black Tiger Shrimps With White Markings

[morgana]

Hello shrimp friends,
now i want to update my thread with Blue Black Tigers With White Markings breed since more than 3 years.
Here especially you see the tigers with white dotted tails. Of course pics are unsharpe as usual.
I know pattern is analogue to KK but I have been running this project before KK and family is swash into all tanks.
I like my tigers very much and I see, that there is still any potential for new interesting patterns based on this phenotype.

Cute little buggers.

Do they have a little bit of crystal shrimp in their background? I ask because a lot of ti-bee hybrids I see around have white markings on their tails.

That is why they are called TiBee(Tiger x Bee) hybrids...

wow from hybrid
interesting species

Manana, why do you so sure, that they are hybrids?
Have you never seen wild caught tigers with white markings?

For myself i don't crossed this shrimps you see on the photos, with a bee in last 5 generations by now. In an other strain i have done that, that is right.

But let me saya basic: All i really convinced is, that black tigers ( common you know) all are an early kind of hybrid, BTOE also and so on.
You can belive it or let it, for me is it a fact. That's why it isn't important to me how you wish to call it at last.

We only can judge the phenotypes, genes are a secret mostly or a faith .


Here are an aware crossing (F2 ) from Black Tiger and Tibee i mentioned in the posing before:

wow cool and interesting variant, Morgana
may i know, they are already from true breeding, isn't it ?

[morgana]

Thank you for interest.
Yes, the shrimps showed in first posting are true breeding Black Tiger phenotype, but only less have dotted tails.

Morgana, i was read few of your post here before.
do you breed some Neocaridina species too and having crossbreding project with them like you're doing with caridina ?

[morgana]

Cleeon, unfortunatley i never kept Neocaridina species. Only Caridina cf. cantonensis. But my opinion from all i read and saw about them is that they do crossbreeding with Caridina species in several cases!
