Anybody interested in crossbreeding Snow White (f) x Black Tiger (male, black eyes) should have a closer look at the remarks of Uwe Neumann in a German forum. In the F1 there are only a low percentage of shrimp with normal black tiger stripes and white on the back. Most of the offspring looks like normal tiger. Breeding further generation by doing backcrossing might be difficult due to infertility. Pictures are only visible for registered users, text is in German. If you are planning to crossbreed these shrimp, remember that not every ‘Snow White’ has the same genetic background, as Black Tiger have neither!

Here are some updates from my shrimp tank

1. Goldflakes (caridina spinata): 2 adults died, appearantly having molting problems, had brown bubbles in the neck before. One shrimp is berried! Change filtration to undergravel-canister-combination to reduce drift; shrimp like it and wander around more.
2. New Bee Shrimp: 2 shrimps are berried but one only carrys few eggs – they seem to be quick egg dropper if something is not convenient. Started a crossbreeding test and put a female ‘Golden Snow White’ in the tank.
3. Tuepfel: The first shrimp ist berried, took a long long time to go!
4. CR/CB Shrimp: Have offspring the second time- they like Akadama as gravel.
5. Black Tiger Hybrids: I set up a little tank with undergravel-air-filter and JBL Manado for my Black Tiger. Will crossbreed them when older.
6. Supertiger have offspring too.
