Grading Cherry Shrimp

I was looking up the difference between standard Red Cherry Shrimp and Fire Red Shrimp when I stumbled upon this:

I it a great article on how to grade RCS for their red color intensity. Thought others with RCS would also be interested.

 

Nice find Dena!

Thanks for sharing.

 

VERY cool find! Thanks!

 

That's really cool. Thank you for sharing

 

Glad everyone is finding it as interesting as I did! Those Fire Red Shrimp look like lobsters to me!

 

I didn't even know that RCS had different grades. Cool stuff!

 

Looks like the majority of mine would be Sakura grade. A few would fall under High Sakura grade and a couple could qualify for Taiwan Fire Reds because they're really dark red.

 

The one I had that would be a Taiwan Fire Red died

Most of mine fall into the Sakura grade as well. And I have a few that would be Cherry grade.

Noticed today I have 3 females with eggs, one the eggs are turning green. So will have quite the population explosion very soon!
