I have generally been extremely pleased with the results from breeding these shrimp. That being said, I was looking for a project and expected some culling, and I have not raised high grade pfr to compare. Here are a few pictures from my tank to help people compare and form an opinion:

Below, I would consider the adult on the left to be high grade and the adult on the right to be low grade. I occasionally net and move the lower grade adults and sub-adults to my cull tank.

Why white over black substrate?

Because why not? The tank is actually split about half and half white and black substrate (eco complete). I put OEBT culls in this tank as well, and they get washed out in black substrate. Easier to cull the shrimp over white substrate too. Is it like some faux paus to use white substrate in shrimp tanks I didn't know about?

What white substrate is that

My 20L planted nano styled community tank has pool filter sand over black eco complete so that my cories are less likely to damage their barbels. It currently has 12 harlequin rasboras, 6 pygmy cories, 6 habrosus cories, 3 ottos, 3 clown plecs & about a dozen red cherry shrimp (sakura grade at best).

Now if I were setting up a shrimp only tank with a color that would "pop" on black, like the bloody marys, I'd defninitely go with just the black eco complete.
