Worth or not the shrimp claimed by local breeder as nishiki

[alvinchan80]

Maybe can try to "rent" a place in one of the seasoned bros' tank to see if their colors would improve. What is your tank parameters currently?

Don't have to bro.. I have other pieces which can portray nice colors, but why only this batch in this tank while all other tanks has the same perimeter?
Simple answer right?

[bai]

Bro Alvinchan are you sure this is Nishiki lineage??
From the picture it looks like worst then a normal CRS.

I have this Nishiki Lineage but it doesn't look like this.

Feel sorry for what you have gotten. If it's claim as Nishiki Lineage.

Well, this 'trustworthy' breeder said it's NSK lineage.... And yes, it's worse then those normal CRS which he claimed to have lots of golden genes when he seen my normal CRS...

Bro Bai, want exchange?

[ZackZhou]

Come Alvin, I lend you some of mine try. If out in your tank colour stays, forever condemn this seller.

JUST NEED TO TELL ME WHO HE IS.

Exchange with this kind of "Nishiki"...... No No.....Thanks for your offer.....

[eviltrain]

hee hee, even my current CRS mixed with Beni offsprings looks better than these PRL. Bro Alvin, treat it as a lesson learned. Chill chill~

Bro...In fact...back to the time when I decide to get myself some PRL...I have already heard some in SG have been using this term "PRL" to make a fortune out of it.
At that time, I'm still very new to shrimps...moreover PRL isn't as popular in SG at that moment. So did some reading and source some info here and there...Listen here...Listen there...just to make sure I'm getting things right. I remember someone even told me BIG Maro or SMALL Maro can tells the purity of the PRL. Isn't that a crap??? Just because of promoting me his Shrimps...condeme other party PRL "Purities"? And providing a Newbie a wrong information and knowledge. For this incident, I've withness who knows about this too!

For now...what I've today in my tank...Hakata PRL...credits goes to Silane...Thanks god that I did a good choice.

Another Good reason why?;
"X" Seller: I Receive a number of SMS from "X" Seller, "Bro...how?" "Wanna get or not?" "If you don't want then other people wants already" "Let me know ASAP"....etc etc....

Bro...only ways is to bring the Shrimps to Lab for DNA...

Bro.. It hurts the wallet and your heart to see this kind of shrimp with the hard earn money you paid for. Its even more saddening to see that there are people who make a fortune out of other's misery. And the saddest thing to say is how people just treat shrimp keeping like a money making spinner. True that you might need to sell some off to cover off expenses or initial cost.. But it should not be the way to do it in this manner. Worse scenario that could even happen is people crossing normal crs with prl and claim that they are PRL and selling them at super cheap prices! It degrades the shrimp keeping reputation, degrades those unique lineage of PRL and it wrongly portrays how we Singaporeans are money grabbers in this hobby.

Nicely said....

After a few warning threads, though cryptic, someone still fell for it... sigh.

[ROYLIM1982]

Bro, feel so sorry for you..

[Yulbrainer]

Is this trustworthy seller a member in the forum?
Mind pm me who is it?

[alvinchan80]

Basically the old "bait and switch" trick at work here again...
Ahh...now I know why some people got vendetta against him and trolled his threads

I only didn't pay attention to the hobby for 2-3 months, so many things happened!

Actually the whites are not as thick as other Nishiki PRLs' photos posted, especially the berried female's white is not thick. I have higher expectations of Nishiki PRLs

The colors are odd, should be due to camera settings.

[globalcookie]

Good thing I'm not crazy about lineage. Some of my normal line (whatever) CRS has even more intensity than those PRL (pure red line)

[berber]

please ah. the shrimps are from my PRL tank.
i dont think its my responsibility to give you insurance for shrimp dropping color.
currently the same batch of shrimps which you have and i have its really a big difference.
i dont know what you did to them but if you want to blame me for the loss of the color i dont think its my problem but your tanks problem.
as you can see from the photo of my shrimps those are the color which i am still having now.
but i am not sure why your shrimps are still not gaining their colors back after so long.
i already told you my water conditions and stuff and i dont think i owe you anything as i already helped you alot over the shrimp problem.
from what i see in all your tanks even for crs they dont have any solid colors,
when i delivered it to your house and you checked the shrimps you say they are okay.
please dont blame me for you having the right condition or wrong enviroment for the shrimps.

Bro Alvin and everyone else, please check yours shrimps/fishes before handing money to seller.
Verification during transaction is very critical; on top of that, if it is better go to seller's place and view the livestock in its tank, please request for it.
At this point in time, point here point there will result in nowhere.
