what would you call a TT x CBS/CRS cross?

[nightshadebel]

would they be tibees? or something else all together?

Tibee

[nightshadebel]

Thank you

[mordalphus]

They're not Tibee

They're a serrata x cantonensis hybrid (true hybrid, 2 different species)

I would call them f(gen) tt x cbs hybrid.

I have some f3 tt x cbs hybrids myself

[sbarbee54]

I forgot that a TT is not a true tiger..... Sorry my bad

[nightshadebel]

hmm...so...?

[mordalphus]

So there is no fancy name, they're just called tt x cbs

[nightshadebel]

what do yours look like mordalphus?

[pinoyghost2]

I have the same TT x Red Tiger and TT x CBS....all of them look like Tibees. The ones from the red tiger are almost identical to TT except they have a red tinge to the body and 5 stripes down the back.

The tt x cbs are identical to my original BTOE x CRS Tibee babies....same spots/stripes, identical markings you wouldn't know the difference etc.

[mordalphus]

Lots of different phenotypes come out in f2, from this:


To this


Or this:



There are many more interesting phenotypes aa well, just discover for yourself

[pinoyghost2]

those last 2 are almost identical to mine...the orange one with the 5 stripes is the same and the other one looks like a twin of my tibees....cool.

[nightshadebel]

Yeah mine look very similar as well. Does yours breed like rabbits too?

[pinoyghost2]

I had heard that the TT are the most aggressive breeder shrimps out there, and yes I seem to have a lot more orange small juvie shrimps in my tank that I didn't really notice until I added co2 yesterday....now they are all coming out and playing on the diffuser

I thought I only had 5 TT but it seems I have a lot more .

I also have a black/white F3 Tibee female berried too now, so more Tibee babies coming.

Is it just me, or does the F1 tibee look better than the F2s?
