Purplepanda Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Soothing Shrimp stop confusing me further ! That last pic of neo heteropoda looks just like a Bloody Mary or is it and which of the blue Tigers listed would be the most sought after or higher grade I wonder, as the best two looking shrimp are the first and the last in my opinion ? I note my OEBT started off as 'deep blues', but after six months and fully grown the females turned into 'rusty reds' and not so much the males.

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 LOL yeah, it gets confusing especially if not keeping up with colors. heh Neo Heteropoda now is Neo Davidi. Bloody Mary is actually supposed to be see through red with red tissue. Different mutations than PFR or FR. Many sellers unfortunately now are selling fire reds as BM. Definitive grades are often done as adults, however you can make educated grades by knowing the strain and stock. --- I'd also like to add a personal opinion. Sometimes people treat higher grades as to whether a type of shrimp is more desirable than others. I guess I look at it as parallel rather than a hierarchy. Just different types of color. Which do you prefer? Then keep it. Purplepanda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many sellers unfortunately now are selling fire reds as BM. Definitive grades are often done as adults, however you can make educated grades by knowing the strain and stock. --- I totally agree on sellers selling FR as BM. Makes me question about some shrimps I recieve as BM but looks more like a FR. If you've had BM before you can tell if it is or not Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 The more serious you get into shrimp, the more you'll find scammers that sell counterfeit shrimp to make a buck. Ie. Crs as mischlings, etc You'll also find sellers who just label their shrimp a color because it looks like a color they've seen or heard about. This is a good reason to buy only off reputable sellers, and even pay a little more if needed- to know what genetics you are getting. dr0p and Vshrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I added the K system for crystals regarding color (not pattern) that Germans have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I don't know of any posters currently. However it sounds as if it would be a nice giveaway for sellers for people to remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeshrimp Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 This is great info! Does anyone know if or where we can get these printed like posters? Does kinkos still exist? I remember printing posters from them when i was in highschool many moons ago. I also used to have this computer program that would print stuff out like that into a pile of papers, you'd just have to tape them up and you'll have yourself a big ol poster.

dr0p Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 These are extremely helpful, thanks! The website for the K system is excellent, I'd love to get my hands on some of the K0's. I may have to look more into this in the future. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
