Black Pinto

 

The name of the Pinto shrimp is very interesting. It is the abbreviation of  "Piebald horse". This shrimp is also a shrimp that has made German breeders famous. German breeders have always regarded German breeders as good at preserving native tiger shrimps. Pinto is the product of a cross between original tigers and Taiwanese bees by German breeders.

After the Taiwan Bee be released, German breeders used a shrimp line that was different way from the bee and original tiger to hybridize a new shrimp named "Pinto"that was amazing at the time. Pinto then screened out two different directions, "Spotted head" type head, and “Zebra stripe” type according to the progeny. The “Spotted head” types are divided into large Spotted-head types and small Spotted-head types.Zebra-stripe types are divided into striped type and saddle type. Of course, there are also offspring of mixed types. 

The Zebra-stripe  type is divided into the German 5-line Zebra Pinto and the Taiwan 6-line Zebra Pinto due to the difference in tiger stripes used in the German and Taiwanese systems. 

At that time, the price of a Pinto shrimp dropped from 1000 USDto 100~200 USD(history price),now it is 10~25 USD. It is still sought after by many breeders, especially those in Asia, mainly in Taiwan.

Since then, the stories of Japan Red White shrimp, Taiwan bee, and German Pinto , breeders successfully creating amazing new shrimps have been widely circulated around the world and inspired and attracted many subsequent enthusiasts to join.
