What Grade?

[Ghanguss]

Hi,
Recently got my first CRS. What grade do you think they are?

I was told A grade but now I see them close up Im not sure, could be B grade?

Yes looks like A-grade to me, but a very poor one. the white and red arent solid. It could also be B-grade.

Hi,

I'd grade them as B.
Reasons: Shrimps on Photo 1 and 3 only have three white bands (should have four white bands to be grade A or at least three white bands and extraordinary dense white) and for my taste photo 2 should have denser white to be grade A.
If the shrimps are new to their tank then perhaps the white of the crs on photo 2 will become more dense and it will be grade A then. But as it looks at the moment, I'd grade it as B.
But that is only my personal way to grade them. Maybe others see things different.

But don't be disappointed. Grade B can also have grade A oder even grade S offsprings.

Bye,
Peter

grading is very subjective. If I would sell this shrimp, I mark it B, maybe C(it looks very small). it has only 3 stripes, non compact white...

Thanks for the replies.

I thought as much. They were a resonable price for A grade, now I see why.

They did have stronger colour when I bought them, so maybe they will improve.

If they start to breed, I will get some more A grade and start again.

Thanks Again:D

Hi bro look at your photo 1 picture and 3 picture is Grade B there only 3 white band.
2 picture is 4 white band is Grade A but to me is low Grade A because the white colour not ready so good.
