    1st time went to polyart, saw a packet of shrimp label 'white' 10 pieces for less than $30. It looks like snow white from far but when i pick up the bag for closer look it is not so soild white, its like misty white..

    Healthy snowball should be clear, not white or translucent.

    Snowball are neocardinal, they breed as wild as cherry shrimps and that justify the lower price.


    Dont be confused with Snowwhite CRS, snow white can cross with CRS to get SSS or SS patterns.

    When c328 was selling snowball (saw them last month), the same number of shrimps were for around $20, so it is around that price.

    Bro anyone could have mistaken them for snowwhite given that different shops name them differently. at least we learn a new name for Snow ball shrimps today! so chill yea! ^^

    just to add snowball and snowwhite/golden crs are 2 different species and they aren't able to cross breed so dont be taken in by the different names LFS calls their good but do some research 1st^^
