FS Crystal Red Shrimp - A Grade - Local PU (CA)

[t1824003]

I'm still not shipping. My shrimp is going low so I have to gave a little boost to my price. But is way cheaper then store cause I bought my shrimp (grade A) for more than $7. Good deal.

My shrimp grade is not C. Is A, cause I bought at the store for more than $7 per shrimp. SO its not grade C, its just look like it because its blurry. My shrimp is grade A.

I don't think you quite understand how the grading system works. The grades are based on the amount of white and the patterns produced, not the quality of the fish. Just because you purchased Grade A specimens doesn't mean that you will only have Grade A offspring. You will have a good deal of Grade A in your tank but you will also have lower grades, and occasionally you will have higher grades. It all depends on the genetics involved. I have S+/SS CBS and CRS whose parents are all S+/SS. As a result I have seen nothing lower than S-S+ Grade in my tanks. Your grade A's could have come from lower grade parents, higher grade parents, or the same grade parents. If you are consistently seeing your shrimp throw the same grade then most likely the parents of your first generation were the same grade as that generation. I do see, without any doubt, a Grade C shrimp in your tank and I circled it (top circle). Though blurry, a second shrimp also lacks much white and it is B-C Grade for certain. It is the lower circled shrimp. I'm pointing this out because you should have removed these shrimp by now to keep them breeding with your higher grade shrimp, which will diminish the overall grade of the colony with time. Put the Grade C-B into the same tank together. Keep A-S together and keep S+/SS together and keep SSS by themselves. That is my best advice on how to organize the shrimp. If you need help with the grading just let me know. Looks like most of your Grades A CRS are of the 3 band variety.

Do you understand the word blurry? Do you want to take another one of my picture? If you do let me know cause I have some more to prove that is my grade A.

No need to be rude, just simply pointing out that the color red, is not the color white, which you seem to think your shrimp have a lot of. Granted, most of them in the second picture do appear to be Grade A. I'd like to see more pictures of the shrimp in your tank. Those two were definitely lower than Grade A. Maybe you removed them and that's good because that's what should be done IMO. Good luck with your sales. You seem to be very knowledgeable and friendly!
