Hi,

I recently had 2 berried females in my tank - a CRS and a Blue Bolt. Both released the eggs. I noticed that two of the shrimplets are black + white. My question is this - could the fry be crystal blacks ( although I don't have any CBS in my tank), or are they perhaps panda taiwan bee from the blue bolt female ( as my girlfriend noticed that the blue bolt female mated with a blue bolt male , and I know most TB breeders keep them mixed, and, for example, you can get other colours from a BB + BB mix). Not sure about this.

Depends on the pattern when you say black and white. CRS can throw CBS if the line is not a true PRL line. If at any point the CRS came from a CRSxCBS mating the offspring can be either for a few generations. Have a search for breeding guides online. There's a chart out there somewhere that shows the generation lines etc and what the likely hood of color will be.

Ah ok thanks. I've been breeding shrimp for almost two years now but never had this happen before ( although this shrimplet is from a new line I obtained recently. The pattern SEEMS to be Mosura by the way, but they're still way too small to properly say :/ So CRS + CRS can actually throw CBS ? Thanks for the info as I really wasn't aware of this !

CRS can throw CBS, CRS, and Golden.
CBS can throw CBS, CRS, and Golden.

PRL will only throw PRL.

I thought CRSxCRS only resulted in CRS since the red color is recessive?

It is quite possible that shrimp with the CBS appearance are Blue Bolt/CRS hybrids. I also never had CBS until I got Taiwan Bees and bred some hybrids.

That would depend on the Crs, if you have a Crs that's parents were CRSxCBS then that Crs carries the CBS genetics. I was trying to find a chart that shows it more clearly but I'll have to keep searching.

This was kind of helpful

Can you share a photo of the shrimp? It could well be a mischling, BBxCRS carrying both genes. Best way to tell would be cross it back with BB.

It's not a very good photo - it's the little guy in front
