How Much?

[tom_os]

how much could i expect for selling crystal red shrimp, grade 5 when they are babies?

and would there be much demand?

cheers

 

[pippoodle]

which grade are they ?

 

[tom_os]

sorry i dont know why i put 5!

i meant A

 

[tom_os]

bump

also whats the most expensive grade?

 

[Truck]

anywhere from £3-£10 IMO

 

[tom_os]

ok cheers

 

[pippoodle]

sss grade most expensive but they'll cost you a hell of a ot of money to start off with

grade a crs - CRYSTAL red shrimps in maidenhead are 3 for £10

 

[tom_os]

yeah i could get cherry shrimp, but i would prefer a challenge of some more sensitive ones, and could make a bit of money as well to pay for their keep

 

[pippoodle]

i dont find them any more challenging and i dont really think they are
if you want a challenge go
sulewesi shrimps

 

[tom_os]

ive heard about them!

do you have crystal reds then?

and would a 10l tank be too small to breed them in, if other conditions were right?

 

[pippoodle]

i have crystal reds grade a and b in my rio 180 with cherrys + amanos
and crystal blacks grade a and s in my 55ltr hex with Cherrys
also have assorted tigers and cherrys + amanos in 75 ltr hex
and green shrimp and assorted tigers in rekord 60

start off with only 4-6 reds in the 10 ltr and see how they go
dont add any cherrys or anything else let just the CRS take over the tank so there numbers wont be limited by the amount of cherrys you have in there

just make sure you dont mix the shrimp that can hybridise with them and you'll be ok

yeah thanks, i will only stick to one species
