What does B-Grade mean

[philly27]

ive seen this before online with different types of plants and mosses.. never purchased. BUT, now im seeing this term with types of mystery snails. what does that mean? i have an idea, but not entirely sure what it means. sorry if this is a dumb question

B grade just refers to the product/animal/plant not being 'top tier' so it may have some imperfections or not be exactly what the person is trying to produce. For example, b grade cherry shrimp may not have a uniform coloration or have mottling/clear spots when they were bred for a solid color. In terms of the mystery snails, it is probably referring to them not being a "perfect" blue snail (or other color), maybe there's brown in the shell color or their body isn't a solid dark black.
