Red Cherry Shrimp turn into Red Crystal? or completely different?

Selective breeding many many many years...if this is your first time keeping shrimp I would say forget about trying to keep highgrade shrimp. You are just going to flush hundreds of dollars down the drain.

months you mean? these shrimps mature and grow fast...

For Crystal Red Shrimp grading depends on which country your in and can go up to SSS grade...

For example, in HK, solid white CRS shrimps aren't worth much any more, since when you mix them with regular high grade CRS the fry end up with washed out colors, so unless your looking for a tank of all SOLID WHITE CRS, then no point keeping them...

Now as for the other ways to grade, it will come down to pattern and how solid the whites and reds are... as well as no clear colors any where on the body... top quality Crystals over here have solid colored legs as well, so literally no part of the shrimp is clear, and the price tag that comes along with it can be crazy... personally i've seen single shrimp go for USD $2000 on the high end...

So really, as people above mentioned, get used to keeping shrimp like Cherry Red Shrimp first as they breed really easily and are much more forgiving... or your going to end up gambling with a lot of money coz CRS require very specific water parameters and temps... mess one thing up and you can easily lose a lot of shrimp or even your whole colony...

that was years ago lol.. its pretty cheap for the shrimps now as compared to last time. prices range from 100-200sgd for high end shrimps per piece max now..

They mature fast but to get a strong strain going where you can constantly pump out top quality shrimps can take years...

thats why i did say in HK where there are still people willing to pay top dollar for select patterns with strong solid colors...

Obvisouly not every one is going to pay those prices for shrimps unless they are serious breeders themselves

What are the chances of a yellow shrimp popping out of a batch of cherries...and then how long do you have to selectivly breeding the single yellow with the cherries and producing a line of yellow shrimp that breed 100% true? This is beyond the scope of most hobbyists...

Not just growing out a shrimp, a few months easily to get them to breeding size.
