Grading CRS

**louislkl** · 25th Jun 2009, 14:24

Hi , wanting to start a 3ft CRS tank ... Was thinking how could i grade CRS as different grades , prices differs alot as well ... and what does Flower Head grade under ?

May i ask , if i were to breed Grade C CRS , will they spawn better grades if water para are good ?

Thanks in advance for members who clear my doubts ~~

pros correct me if im wrong, but i think the grade is in the genes. you can't really expect much from c grade unless u can selectively breed a few generations just like the way the professional breeders have bred wild bee shrimps to the form it is today. Anyway i think in singapore its also hard to find grades C's even if u want to. why not just go with grade A-B's?

This is whether you are lucky anot i seen and heard people getting better offsprings from lower grades like getting kk or bp from low grade bds
it really much depends on the genes and if your water parameters are good, they will breed well

Flower Head grade CRS are graded as SSS mosura.

Thanks alot for the info ... What is BDs actually ... are they blacks ? Do Red CRS breed Blacks CRS ? I really wonder ....

Think you should also consider other factors like your tank size, soil and temperature
If 3 ft and you want to breed high grade CRS, you will most likely need a chiller.
And also 1 that can keep a 3ft tank cool enought at this hot weather.

ya sss have crown and flowerhead, ss have no entry sign and so on.you might want to do abit research on the web as they have often have pictures for reference so it will be easier for you to understand.

I have done some seeing around the web and some how learn how to see and tell the different patterns like No Entry , Crown , V-bands , 4-bands , 3-bands , FlowerHead , Lightning , Triangle , Lips and Tiger Tooth etc ... But its just the individual different pattern is graded under hinos and musura ... complicating ... Wahaha ... but anyway , Thanks alot for the info man ... really helps alot ... the rest i will look around more in the web ...
