They finally arrived, so was up late doing the painfully slow dripping in...
I would really appreciate some comments and thoughts on the shrimp and their quality and if they are what they are supposed to be, no need to be polite ? ....
Sure I realise the poor shrimp are probably looking their worst having been freighted for 3+ days so will surely colour up when happy and settled in their new tanks .
Here are some awful phone pics in poor light of a few of the shrimp...
First up are supposedly CBS SSS as paid for, however they were three or four short on the order of 20 so they suggested filling in the numbers with SS, but I asked them to please rather send PRL males, no point down grading. I'm hoping this is what they have done.. but would be keen on some feedback as to what S grade smaller size shrimp they have actually sent, they look as they they could be PBL, although I appreciate smaller size shrimp have a more intense colour . One PBL is missing in the pic at the very bottom. Some of the other shrimp have quite a bit of black markings down the back so question if these are SSS but rather SS ? Sadly one nice SSS did not make the journey and gave up the prospect of a life in Africa as we opened the bag ..
Supposedly all CRS SSS, are they ?
These are Bloody Mary, paid 'bloody' top $ for them ! I might well be wrong but they seem a mixed bunch of cherries at the moment, with some blue and grey ones included in the 20..Ok I realise they will colour up, but not sure what to make of them at this point....? I was trying to work out if they had a shorter rostrum as I gather all Bloody Mary do ?
