Come at 2kg, 4kg and 8kg pack. But only 8kg was available when i was there. $35 for 8kg. LFS will be cheaper if there is stock available.

hi,
i also think, that the colours of your shrimps won´t improve only because of the substrat...

But then substrate does affect water parameters unless we are talking about lapis sand.

Also, at least we'll know it won't contain stuff harmful to shrimps.. :)

This is FivePlan distributor in SG. The farm is in Pasir Ris called Tropical.



They got CRS at least a few hundred in a dedicated shrimp tank with chiller running. But from what i see only grade B and C.

Went to NA today suprisingly the price of their grade A and B dropped to $10 each. The tank today quite a lot of CRS maybe just replenish .. got at least 50 to 80 pieces.
