consider SSS grade mosura.
Hi all, will need some advice from all seniors. By looking at the photos, can we know the grading/breed of my newly purchase shrimps?
Sorry, read out the grading chart but still very lost.
consider SSS grade mosura.

but with poor white colour.Originally Posted by eviltrain
Nice shrimps. Mosura (SSS) grade shrimps. Definitely not PRL.
Thanks bro.
Bro, i remember seeing white leg, belly wise never notice. Maybe I can try to locate them tonight.
Yes, I thought the white seems to be fading.
I second that. Actually i'm very new to the CRS shrimps and still need alot of guidance.
When you first saw it at the shop, it is already in poor white colour?
If not, there is a chance that the white will come back.
I will rather take a good colour S grade than a poor white SSS but it is up to individual preference.
It was quite difficult to actually see the white but overall i thought it was acceptable. Hopefully it can regain it's white. But for the price, I'm actually quite happy.
a bit not fair for the shrimp wor. give it one more month and good water condition.

Some LFS the shrimps are very white in the bag that they are selling. But after putting into your tank, some of the shrimps white band colour turns faded even after a few weeks of conditioning in the tank.
That is why I ask whether there is a colour different of the shrimp when it is in the shop. Yes, a month, good water condition and lots of TLC will tell.
Different shrimp adapt to different water condition differently. Its very obvious for shrimps which change colours everytime like malayan. As for crs, it might be due to water temperature, level of gh/kh and even tds.

I heard from a bro in lfs that the gh level plays a part in the colour. Must be around 4-5 for good colours?
Noted with many thanks. For now I did manage to keep my GH with the range. Meanwhile hope for the best.
Is that CRS in the IQ5 that's fan cooled? Color may suffer when temperature is not stable and low. I recalled Silane mentioned ideal temp for color is 22 degrees?
Hmmm, bro I'm having a 2 feet tank with a chiller at 25 degree...
Ah...mixed up liao. Reading from iphone, didnt see properly. sorry sorry
Haha... No problem.. So CRS ideal temperature is 22 degree??
My apologies again. I remembered wrong. It's 23 degrees.

How to make a CRS with better color?
This question is often hear in forum.
Long term external factors have great influence on CRS color beside the phenotype genes of a CRS:
Water temperature, ideally is 23°C, this gives the best color vs other factor like growth rate. 24°C to 25°C will work as well, but 26°C and above is not so much for color.
23 degrees is kind of costly and not practical for me, mainly because the tank would fog up totally at anything lower that 24 degrees. On certain humid days, it'll even fog at 25.
I can apply anti-fog to the glass, but I'm sure its toxic and I wouldn't wanna accidentally get it into the tank
Of course, there're many other factors involved and everybody's mileage will vary
Bro, how you tell if it is PRL or not ah?
