$1050 is too much imo for a shrimp that i think looks just plain fugly. I like the look of contrast with the CRS and CBS.

anything worth over 1,000 bucks belongs in the lakes or ocean IMO:grinyes:

I fail to understand how its "grade SSSS+" when that picture makes it tough to discern white from gold... I don't know anyone who would waste that much money on a 1" shrimp... and I work with people who make $500k+ a year. :-\

Yeah, I'm not familiar with a grading system that high, but I suspect that it's an almost completely white Caridina sp. with a splash of gold color mutation.

Heck, perhaps it came out of a tank of CRS and somehow the gene pool kinda screwed up and threw them a wild card... suddenly they think its worth a million bucks and try to convince people its worth so much by labeling it with some bogus grade. :silly:
