JamesHe Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Looks like we're going to have the 1st International Shrimp Competition in the US aiming for November 2016!!! Start selectively breeding your finest, folks! shrimp competition.jpg Or buy competition grade to cut the corners. haha Jaykidding and EricM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimko Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nope. They have them set up already. You provide the shrimp. Usually through mail. Do they send the shrimp back after the competition is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Going off fish shows, they auction the aquapets off after the show and the club gets the proceeds to help offset cost and if any is left over- as seed money for the next one. I haven't seen any discussion regarding this yet for this shrimp competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Makes sense, but then you're losing your breeding stock, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I wouldn't suggest anyone send their breeding stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 What if you can't go to that competition? Can you ship your shrimp in or something lol Yes. Thats pretty common. based off talking to judges from the 2015 Taiwan competition and previous shows, here is some guidlines of judging. based on 100% scoring: 20% body shape/posture 35% main color 15% secondary color 20% similarity of group - most competitions require 3-5 shrimp per group entered. 10% color of pereiopods (legs) remember each judge has different tastes in quality and traits they look for. for example, a show winning PRL (usually a PRL is the grand champion) 1. deep crimson red color 2 bright shining white 3. thick armor shell 4. even coloration, full colored legs (hard to achieve) 5. large size (above 2.5-3.0cm) 6. balanced head and body proportions.

Wygglz Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't see a "tiger" class. Am I missing something? Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Could one infer from the IOSC grading chart that there are currently four types of pintos (Zebra, Spotted, Fishbone, Tiger)? Or just four that are "stable" enough to be graded/judged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykidding Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Ok thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't see a "tiger" class. Am I missing something? There are 2 "tiger" classes. Red / Black TigerbeeQ - Red / Black Tigerbee Golden Eye Species (typically things like OEBT/etc)R - Golden Eyes Could one infer from the IOSC grading chart that there are currently four types of pintos (Zebra, Spotted, Fishbone, Tiger)? Or just four that are "stable" enough to be graded/judged? the 4 main patterns seems to cover all the variations. is there something you feel doesnt fit into one of those categories?

Wygglz Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I thought the tiger/bee meant a cross. Just being an airhead! I don't think I'll ever have the courage to compete, but I was thinking about my red striped TT, and other selective breeding options on the different tigers. Thank you for clarifying for me!

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I thought that was meant to be a cross in competition, too. (TiB) Wygglz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
