**d2sign** · 17th Oct 2008, 16:17

Found this piece of Black Diamond Shrimp form a Taiwan site, price tag - NT$999,999 (more than $45,000 SGD). Now with a more friendlier & affordable price tag - NT$15,000 ($6,800 SGD), anyone?

hi bro,

NT15000 = SGD$714

but really expensive.

**d2sign** · 17th Oct 2008, 16:28

Opsss... Sorry key in 1 more zero.

They call this 黑金剛水晶蝦. Black Diamond Crystal Shrimp?

**meerkat** · 17th Oct 2008, 16:48

Wow really expensive! If for any reason up lorry then

Wonder how many lobsters one can buy with S$714

Found 1 at Japan bidders site, the seller call it ブラックジャック (Blackjack), apparently it's a new species or new breed.

Nice, this line is from mutated CRS.

It has 2 grades:
- Red Ruby
- Wine Red
- Black Panda
- Black King Kong

For red, higher grade is those with more white.
For black, higher grade is those with more black.
Who to decide the grade? It is the breeders, according to what they can breed out.
And for now, it is not easy to get fertile specimens, only a few breeders in the world can breed till F4 or beyond.

Have fun.

Apparently, these lines are still weak, it is still quite a challenge to keep them.

Will you buy if it comes to Singapore? What is the highest grade of CRS are you keeping now?

**Spid** · 17th Oct 2008, 21:46

At times like now, Im sure it will be very difficult to have it sold at the price the site mentioned.

Its a nice mutated piece there. Personal preference- I prefer black mutated ones to those red mutated pieces.

Hi anyone...
just to share the info about this species, i just found out the price is..

King kong + panda 650 / piece
Wine red + ruby red mix / piece
red ruby....is $400

But for me is still to expensive

**GER** · 7th Nov 2008, 23:21

For this price i rather wait first. Rather get a L046 instead ...

Only shrimp pro dare to try get...they really too sensitive and vunerable and to a new shrimper like me its definately not worth the risk.

**genes** · 8th Nov 2008, 09:52

I think its 6 S...not 5S....SSSSSS grade for this one you posted according to a website...

Personally, i find the grading system for shrimps going way out of control to the point where it seems unprofessional anymore. With a new colour variant that they manage to breed out, adding more S to it will mean the cost is higher. I wonder how many S will it go still... Nonetheless, it really a nice addition of colour variants to the CRS community.

**brightsp@rky** · 8th Nov 2008, 11:18

Haha..I think they should change the grading from SSSSSS to $$$$$$.

thats an impressive looking shrimp!!!

Is there any difference in water parameters compared to normal crs?

**d2sign** · 10th Nov 2008, 10:34

Guess only few peoples in the world could answer this question.
