Any idea what grade of CRS LFS selling?

**vernonlcm** · 23rd Aug 2009, 21:38

So far the cheapest i saw is from Colourful at Thomson and Seaview in Seletar whereby they are selling 10 for S$20 and 20 for S$40 respectively. NA at Thomson selling 10 for $25. C328 Florist selling all higher grade which range from few pieces already at 30 plus onwards. The rest sells individually so unless you are getting a few pieces only otherwise not worth getting from them.

Now my question is that any idea for the Colourful and Seaview whereby they are selling at above stated price which is about $2/pc, what are their grade??? Once i ask the Uncle at Colourful and he told me should be around "A" grade but seems that he also can't be too confirm. I also not very sure between "A" and "B" grade so any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do kindly highlight if there are also other places selling CRS in a pack which prices are very competitive and is of high grade. Cheers.

normally you see those $20-$25 per pack are either c grades or b grades crs. if you go to c328 A grade they are selling $8 per pic.

I really don't agree with you. The colour of white is quite strong so i would say is either B or A but i am not too sure so just check if any forumers got from them before and know what is the grade as well.

For C328, they state quite clearer on the grade in the pack form whether if is SS or SSS but they do have those individual whereby you can select from at around $5 - $8 if i didn't remember wrongly at Florist. PolyArt at C328 doesn't have much of CRS and mainly other colour shrimps whereby you can catch on your own at $1 each or $11 for 10 pcs.

i say C or B grades because i bought a pack from y618 i think it differs for different LFS so need to check carefully when you buy.

Oic... I did saw y618 selling in a pack too but can't remember the price and never really also take note of the grade as well. May find time to go and view. So how much u got it for and how many in a pack?

The ones in the bag at Y618 are mostly C grades. Very dull colours.

better grade at C328 are placed inside, beside the counter those tanks.

I think the ones in Y618 are C grades too. The whites are almost transparent. As for the ones in Colorful, I think B/A.

CRS grading is very subjective, but I've bought a few batches from Colourful, I would judge them as B to A grade by my reckoning.

NA has higher grades of CRS for sale, but they are also much much more than $25 for 10.

Yes, I agreed.

NA CRS is much more better than Colourful. Anyway, NA's CRS are consigneed by home-breeders to be sold there. Not sure where does Colourful got his CRS. And I believe that home-bred will be better and cheaper than those from the farms.
