CRS grading guide

mossman · 10-25-2005, 05:07 PM

This is a Crystal Red Shrimp Grading Guide. Grading is subjective, generally the larger the portion of white, the more intense of white, the more intense of red and have special white marking means better, because they are not easily to get in a brood.

Grade SS (White portion is large with special features like tiger tooth, V-bands)

High Grade S (Vibrant red and white, large white portion of white)

..

mossman · 10-25-2005, 05:07 PM

Grade S (Vibrant red and white, white portion is about the same as red)

Grade A (Thin white with slight to some transparence)

Grade B

Grade C (No obvious white and/or poor red)
Oppss, I don't have this grade but quite easy to find them around....

Grade D (worse looking then cherry shrimp)

Thanks for the grading guide!!! It is appreciated.

PasD · 10-17-2006, 09:04 PM

I wonder how much the SS grade go for.

mr.gaboozlebag · 10-17-2006, 09:08 PM

Sticky maybe?

If you have to ask... you can't afford it. LOL

No, seriously, I saw on Aquabid one single class SSS male going for over $300. I closed the page and never went back, so there is no telling what it sold for in the end.

::Shudder::

I guess I will just stick with my B- and see if I can breed in a A or two eventually.

**Buckeye_Robert** · 10-17-2006, 10:46 PM

I thought they stop @ SS
And then use names like

SS v
SS tiger tooth
SS v no entry
SS red sun
....... etc?

TAF CAF · 10-17-2006, 10:48 PM

Don't ask me, but I saw the pic of this guy and he sure looked like he rated an extra S.

**epicfish** · 10-17-2006, 11:00 PM

Wow, $300? Heck, I feel bad spending $20 for 25 RCS!

mlpzaq52 · 10-26-2006, 10:00 PM
