No senior or friend involved, I would like to know......

If you have noticed most showcases are banded PRLs, rarely anything more.

In this case would you reverse the gradings of PRL as compared to the standard CRS?

Meaning flowerheads being the lowest grade as they are most likely impure?

Interesting I would like to see the discuss. I'm really wondering not that there is a grading system for prl. But why are majority of the show case prl or lower grade namely mostly banded piece and not of flowerhead etc. True most people see in prl is the coloration instead of the grades but there are some
Whom love the or prefer the whiteness more. So do we grade prl like Crs??

Well there are people who say PRL have no grading and yet in their sales thread they sell them with CRS gradings.

So far on market, I notice PRL goes by colouration without grading. In my opinion PRL's are better bloodline heritage shrimps.
It has reach a stage people appreciate the colouration than grading system because of better genes therefore better colour or features. Assuming it will have better offsprings also.
More of marketing and tryin to further classify or benchmark a value of the shrimp and then the grading comes in.

Just my opinion.

Actually in Taiwan now most of the showcase PRLs are always hinos..

[avex30]

My bad yes Hino is the max they would show case now the question why wouldn't the go further to show higher pattern? wouldn't it outshine due to the relevant thick white? and Redness?

Haha, that will be called PWL (pure white line) liao

I think it's more to do with the fact that the red is so intense.. that having a Mosura grade with no red on the body will not really show case its quality..

However when I was in Hong Kong.. I went to this shop Nigons and saw a berried Mosura Elegant Lady PRL that was so damned stunning.. I've seen many show-quality CRS but never seen one up close until that point. Me and my gf spent 15 minutes (maybe exaggerated but it was a long time!) looking for the slightest cracks in the body.. but cannot find any..

I do think that any pattern that is above a mosura contains golden genes.

Some people list on their threads grades for prl just for indicating the pattern of it? People in general would still prefer hinos and mosura pattern to banded considering that they have the same grade on colour?

To answer TS, Bro Cheetf's question. My personal opinion is such:

If we should break out the Words, Pure Red Line, and look at their individual meaning; Pure = without blemish or impurities; Red = One of the many colours in the colour spectrum; Line = Breed/origin (in context to Lineage). Do Correct if I'm wrong, still learning and England is half bucket.

Thus, from those 3 words, whoever came up with it, should indicate that this particular category of shrimps should be graded based on at least the first 2 words, Pure & Red. As pure & red as possible, nothing else. That's how I look at it, Hinos or Flowerheads will be a bonus and may just make it more interesting to look at but value is still colour based.

Bro Matt, the thing is that till this date, PRL lines have not bred out a single flowerhead for years. Thus, i would be safe to say that pure lines would not have any flowerhead offsprings. Several lines that have flowerheads in their population all deemed to have mixed with golden/snowwhite in the early days.

[reiner09]

yes , i agree that prl are most emphasised for it's colours rather than the strips.. golden is used to improve the strips 'design' while prl is not that easy as the line is maintained . For example, if you have a tigertooth x tigertooth(prl) the probabilty of the offsprings having mosura is not very high.. also i do believe that to achieve flowerhead,golden have to come in between somewhere earlier..

I bought this pcs in Hongkong as PRL. What do you guys think? (hopefully no golden gene :P) My grading opinion in PRL is similiar with CRS.. The better colour is important, but the pattern is also important. In the market, the price of a/s grade PRL will be cheaper than hino PRL provided they both have the same good colour quality.

Eviltrain bro had proposed sometime ago that the grading for pattern and colors should be separated. There can be a C pattern, +++ Color shrimp, or a SSS mosura flowerhead with only + Color.

If we reference the color grading system I had proposed for fire reds previously, which is primarily for color and coverage, we may be able to set up a system?

Although most mosuras are not likely to be pure, I would not go to the extremes of "reversing" the grading system, as I'm sure we can find many many hinos that are spectacular in colors

I agree that if flowerheads do appear in PRL, there must be some crossing with SW somewhere somehow. In my previous post, I was trying to say that IF any higher grade patterns such as Hino/Flowerheads do appear in PRL (if it's PURE), it would just be nice to look at but value of that PRL will still be based on its colour's intensity and thickness.


BUT then again, having said that, a Banded thick and solid colour PRL VS Hino PRL similar colour thickness, the market values the Hino more.

Pure Red Line, I belief is coined to define CRS that are red and have not been mixed with golden genes. If you look up the term pedigree it would fit in fine for PRL.

Well from the looks of it there would only 2 grades, Hino and Banded. Mosuras can be left out of the grading as technically they would be considered impure. Maybe the banded can further be split.

Hehe. Back to tiger tooth, v shape patterns?
