    bought this in a batch with some solid red sakuras, but found a few of these not as solid-coloured ones..

    to me, they look like really good cherries only.

    1) this is a female right?

    2) is this considered sakura, or cherry, or in-between?

    3) how much is this shrimp worth..?

    many thanks in advance..

    sakur is normally $1 for 1. cherry is normally 50 cents for 1. so that shrimp may be 80 cents?

    $3 for Cherry/Sakura shrimp?? Couldn't be. The price is definitely less than $1. But if the shrimp is more like sakura, super red solid colour, it may fetched more than $1. it also depends on whether there is anyone willing to pay for the price as quoted.

    $3 is the price i got it for..

    actually if the sakura is Taiwan FireRed line, it can easily fetch $3 a piece.. however if it is normal solid sakura it cost $1+..

    however for this piece i believe it is an inferior fire red sakura, as i have other more solid coloured fire reds from this same tank..

    The males are not that red. So if you choose only the super red ones, it might all be female.

    Re: how much is this cherry/sakura worth?

    the previously posted picture was taken shortly after acclimatization, and i have to say that after a few days in my tank, they have coloured up significantly.. here's a picture of the group of them in my tank..

    and i must say, paying $3 for this sakura is every bit worth it, as it is of taiwan fire-red pure blood.. bought from LFS.. also got some of the same quality and price from another bro here in AQ..

    As previously I have mentioned the price is too high judging by the picture that you have posted earlier. Think I have to take back my words. The latest picture you have posted is definitely worth the 3 bucks you have paid for... Happy Shrimping dude...

    So much of a difference it makes. Really solid and nice red.
