Default bsmith's beautiful CRS (with a CBS twist)!!!

I haven't sold any shrimp for a while as I was working to increase my population of CBS and also breed my CRS so that when they bred with your shrimp the offspring would contain some CBS even though they are CRS and even if it bred with another CRS. The % arent set in stone but from what I have found is that when my CBS infused CRS bred with my CRS that had no CBS in their family tree roughly 50% of the time I would get at least one CBS and as many as 5! These also contain SSS+ (crown, flower head) genetics too so again, the % cant be exactly determined but you will get higher grade babies unless your breeding them with dirt. Lastly I have always taken great effort to cull all offspring that do not have thick white markings so you can be comfortable knowing my shrimp are saturated with thick/unbroken/pure white where they should be colored that.

Here's the breakdown.

S+ $6 per shrimp
SS $10 per shrimp

Shipping options are USPS Priority in an insulated box for $11 or USPS Express for $30.

Well now I have some CBS to get out to the public! All of my shrimp are solidly thick white colored as well as the black/red markings. I can honestly say that from the offerings I have seen on this and other sites my shrimp blow them clear out of the water and into a whole different room!

My shrimp are priced as follows.

CRS-
S+ $5 (only a few)
SS+ $12
SSS $20

CBS-
S+ $9 (only a few)
SS+ $18
SSS $30

Shipping is the same as the first post.

Sorry for the delay folks. I forgot my "good camera" and my camera I use at work really is terrible. But I think the shots I took with my phone are pretty decent. All I did was crop the photos with the software provided by apple. These pics clearly show the strength of the white coloration and that my shrimp have none of the yellow/opaque white coloration that so many vendors/people are selling.
