Great shrimp

I like how they posed on your moss. How active are they compared to other shrimp?

Just as active as red cherry shrimp.

Look good? Most likely A Grade shrimp. Have you got any small fry? What is the ratio of throwbacks to the red form?

Well that is a gorgous bee. I have been breeding these shrimp for a while now and have only A grade at best. Those shrimp are SS and the top one (I am assuming 3 pics of the top one, and the bottome pic is of a 2nd shrimp) is almost a hinomaru!

Keep up the good work!

I would say a high grade A or a low grade S as the edges of the colour bands are not crisp. It also depends on how true breeding they are to make it as a higher grade. I think some of the best come from Munechika. The photos on their site unfortunately don't do the shrimp justice.

I love them very much.
We call this V-band and Tiger in our side.

Hi aquafever

Where does the V-band come from ?

Is this the pattern on the tail ?

Thank You For Sharing

I have been breeding high grade CRS/Black Bee shrimp in the USA for some time. His shrimp look S and above to me, especially the first picture which I would say is a SS.

V-band:

Second black band is V-shaped(1st, 2nd and 3rd picture)

Tiger tooth:

Second black band has some teeth looking marks in white(4th picture)

It is the pattern in the black (or red) band (in the middle of the body).

V -- it looks like a 'V'

Tiger tooth -- the white area in that band. "look like a tooth" -- don't know who invented this -- but it is interesting and vivid

... other pattern ...

and ALL WHITE CRS

I had read a while ago that Japanese breeders have developed a "blue" CRS line. Does anyone know where I can find more information about it?

I had read a while ago that Japanese breeders have developed a "blue" CRS line.

Would this still have some red on it? Otherwise it should be called Crystal Blue shrimp CBS

I have also seen a picture of the all white CRS.

I do not know. I am not sure how blue the shrimps are. Hope to see some photos of them (Crystal "Blue" shrimp).

I did see a few photos in the past that black bee (diamond) shrimps show some sort of blue color and breeders in Japan have/had selectively breed these shrimps to produce the blue line.

Milalic & aquafever

Thank You
For the information.

I am still having trouble with the lower PH Water.

So, I will be sticking with the lower Grade CRS for now.

Until I get the PH to stay contant, I will not venture into the higher grade.
