I'm new to the shrimp scene. When people want to breed tons of CRS, what is the ultimate goal?

Sell?
Trade?
Feeders?
Place in display tank?

Why so many shrimp!!!?? :icon_eek:

 

[sandiegoryu]

JUST THE GLORY OF IT ALL! and they are so beautiful!

Also it gives lots and lots of cash :-D.

FEEDERS?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

And to distribute this very beautiful shrimp to as many people as possible.

And perhaps to slowly get a higher grade hehe.

They're $$$.

Other than for show, it's to sell.

lol haha FEEDERS!!! i would love to see a video of that=]

If you buy high grade RCS shrimp, do they breed true and produce mostly the same grade offspring? (with a few lesser quality and better quality than the parents of course).

I think I am starting to understand.

My goal is to provide people with high grades at a low price. My other goal is to breed Mosura.

LMFAO! Kimchi is great stuff. Imagine CRS cocktails. CRS fried rice. Maybe dead CRS turn all red? That would be boring :-D.

 

[gabeszone247]

MMM! CRS Gumbo

 

[RESGuy]

That's is some expensive cocktail!!!

And dude ... feeders? Would you spend $100+ on a dozen feeders for your fish?:icon_eek: I hope not!!

And you said RCS grades? RCS don't have grades.

RCS= Red Cherry Shrimp($1-$2 each)
CRS= Crystal Red Shrimp($10+ each)

RCS will have grades sooner or later... When I have enough space.. (5-10 years down the road probably...)

CRS prices usually start at about $5 for B-C grades from Brian's Tropicals. Add in shipping express and it's $75 for 10 shrimp. Otherwise they're like $6 per w/out shipping.

I breed just for fun. Then there is experience that comes with it. Money is good also since it can help me support my hobby, but I don't think that should be the thing that pushes people to breed CRS. They're not extremely easy so Don't fool around with them.

you guys dont even know. Every 3 months my mother inlaw buys about 70lbs of cabbage and beets. We sit there for like 8 hours and make kimchi. Let me tell you that there is no such thing as eating to much kimchi, well maybe the day after. I have a constant supply of kimchi, from fresh to 3 months fermented.

I'm looking to get into it. Mainly, it would be to keep my 90g stocked with *plenty* of them and the leftovers would get sold to fund the hobby.

I think there should be classes of RCS. I have some that are SS and some that are lower, I also am working on a strain of Cherry that has a really strong red body with a bright mauve stripe down their back.

Yeah, I have seen some that are extremely red! Truly beautiful and others that are mildly red, others with stripes on their back, etc. I am just saying that technically RCS aren't SOLD by grades like CRS are.

Good to know someone else is working with them!

They will be sooner or later... I'm working on a strain with yellow toned males... Looks much better than the normal ones!

My 10g was redone yesterday for CRS.... probably 2-3 months it will be all theirs.
