lucky, I had to work to get any spiny lobster in southern CA. heres a link to grade the shrimp, just click the quick grade guide. http://www.planetinverts.com/crystal red shrimp grading guide.html
hey my next question.... if i started off with grade a shrimp, i couldn't get a better grade without TWO higher grade shrimp breeding? you cant get s grade from one s and one a correct?
lolsorry to break this response up 3 times i just keep thinking, but a good quality food and mineral supplement can go a long way for color too. Ebay is the way to go for that stuff usually.
yeah.... any names of products i can search to get started? ..... and what kind of lighting do they need?
aquabid usually has some good stock and deals on slightly lower stock from guys who keep the good stuff. Nice thing is they have so many babies its not hard to get a lot fast. I started with 5 adult cherry shrimp i now have around 60 and that was 2 months ago. From everything i've heard the CCS breed just as fast.
