    Any bro can advise the pattern of shrimplets is determine by the male or female shrimp gene? Meaning that SS male breed with S female the pattern of the shrimplets will be SS or S?

    Re: CRS Shrimplets pattern

    From my own shrimps observation, my half hino (1 side hino, the other side v band) male shrimp mate with my SSS (mosura) female shrimps. The offsprings I gotta are 1 SSS, the rest hino shrimps.

    Re: CRS Shrimplets pattern

    I cannot conclude, no definite answer. You should get a mix of S and SS pattern shrimps.

    It will still depends on the parents gene too.
    You can get range between A-SSS grade too.

    Pattern maybe difficult to get hold.

    So does that mean offspring is random?like lucky draw.

    yes, unless you do strict selective breeding for patterns.

    i take Bro Ecalyte for example, he have a tank full of flowerheads. But most his off springs consist of Hinos Mosuras and a few (1 - 2 ) flowerheads.

    Ok. That's interesting. Will see my berried A/S CRS offspring this round. Anyway I notice CRS shrimplets is not as hardy as other type of shrimplets as very few survive even water parameter is ok

    Re: CRS Shrimplets pattern

    for my recent case, i have a pair of S grade which happens to breed out 3 S / 5 hino / 2 mousra.

    so its more or less like tikum

    Re: CRS Shrimplets pattern

    I doubt the patterns & colors are sex linked traits in CRS so males or females shouldn't matter very much.

    Haha. The feeling is like back to old days of tikum where you never know what you get. Get Mosura first prize and if get a/s consultation prize. "keeping shrimps is like a box of chocolate. You never know what offspring you are gonna gets"

    So what is the key to the outcome of the offspring? Any expert can advise?

    Re: CRS Shrimplets pattern

    Not an expert, you can cull the A/S grade from the batches of offspring. Selectively breeding by keeping a pool of higher grade shrimps in term of colours or pattern. The offspring in the future from these parent will give you higher grade shrimps.
