Crystal Black Shrimp (A-S) Grade

 HIGHLIGHTS

Description: Crystal Black Shrimp (Caridina cantonensis), or CBS, are similar to their Crystal Red Shrimp (CRS) in that both shrimp sport a fabulous array of stripes across their white body that make them a stand out in any tank.  Specifically, the CBS shrimp have a white body with black stripes running horizontally its body. Personally, we mix the CBS and CRS together and call it our cow tank. CBS grade is based on the amount of red coloration on their body.  Highest grade CSS (SSS, SS) have more white to black ratio coloration, while the lowest grade (C) will have more black to white ratio coloration. We ship healthy juvenile to adult mixed grade shrimp that are approximately 1/2-1 inch (1.3-2.5cm) or bigger in length.  This means, our shrimp sport a color of about an equal ratio of black to white with some that will have more white to black ratio.
