My CBRS

I got her and 9 babies for $30.00. I don't know if you can tell but she is red, white and black. 8 of the others are Crystal Red and one is Crystal black.
It's just a low grade (most likely B) CBS. They won't have both red and black, that one is definitely a black. $30 seems like a lot to pay for her!
Yeah thats just a CBS, depending on how available they are 30$ seems a bit steep, cool shrimp though.

I agree that $30 for a single adult is steep, but an adult female plus 9 babies for $30 is a deal, even if the coloration isn't very good... in a few months that's worth a lot more. patience.
ideally, you'd want an adult male asap as well...

Well she is definately red, black and white. Her tail is red and her body is black and white. I paid $30.00 for 10 of them and the CRS are a much higher grade. I just liked this one because she looks different. I thought she was the only adult as she is twice the size of my other females but I have 3 that are berried so I think she is just big.

Even if it's berried that's still a lot to pay for it. You aren't even guaranteed a certain number of babies will hatch let alone survive. I'd take my chances with 10 juvies rather than 1 berried female.
In a few months these shrimp probably won't even be around. I see silica sand as the subtsrate and it's pretty well known that a soil like ADA Amazonia is practically necessary to get the water where it needs to be for these shrimp to live. I wouldn't be shocked at all if they start to kick the bucket within 2 weeks.
