Gene Tree 8.0 — historical Pinto and Stardust pattern evidence

Picture-style source diagrams separate breeder histories, selected pattern grades and dated shrimp competition records.

Three different graph edge classes

Orange and blue show classes are categories, not heritable gene nodes. A solid arrow below means the historical author reports a stock-selection pathway. A disconnected parent-genotype box indicates unknown founder pairing, not a proven cross. No ranking in the graph implies dominance.

German and Taiwan Pinto reported histories

German Zebra / Spotted Pinto: sourced trade appearance; individual parentage and genes not documentedSOURCE-REPORTED GROUPGerman Zebra / Spotted PintoSELECTED APPEARANCEDifferent head and dorsal gradetypesPARENT GENOTYPESNOT DOCUMENTED
Reported source: Taiwan Bee-influenced breeding. No line connects the observed appearance to unknown parents. A show classification and source history are not a mother/father family tree.
Taiwan Galaxy Tiger: sourced trade appearance; individual parentage and genes not documentedSOURCE-REPORTED GROUPTaiwan Galaxy TigerSELECTED APPEARANCETiger-like banding, variable spotsPARENT GENOTYPESNOT DOCUMENTED
Reported source: Taiwan Pinto grade family. No line connects the observed appearance to unknown parents. A show classification and source history are not a mother/father family tree.

Reported source: Golden Back Yellow (reported). No line connects the observed appearance to unknown parents. A show classification and source history are not a mother/father family tree.

Quoted ratios remain uncounted

A 2022 breeder's 95% Stardust spider-leg resemblance, a 2020 Green Jade high-grade estimate near one in 100, and older Taiwan Bee backcross percentage claims cannot be used as genetic laws without scored family totals, proven paternity and defined grading age.

Competition dates do not validate founder origins

2023 Kelvin Wong Red Stardust and 2025 Handsome Shrimp Red Stardust Grand Champion entries record show outcomes, not an uninterrupted pedigree shared by two winning colonies.
