Shrimps and prices

Today i'm going to talk about shrimps.
These are my personal experiences.
There are more but i will just focus on these 11 types of shrimps

Basically, there's a few type of fresh water shrimps available in Singapore. Namely
1. Ghost Shrimp
--> Otherwise known as feeder Shrimps. V cheap. Can get easily 30 for around 2 bucks. Unattractive, physically transparent but very aggressive in food-fighting. Basically useless except for feeding other fishes.

2. Malayan Shrimp
--> A blackish shrimp. Relatively cheap. Cheapest i found is 30cents each from Local Fish Shop (LFS). Similar to black shell shrimp but less metallic black.

3. Black Shell Shrimp
--> Quite hard to find good grades in Singapore. They are metallic blackish in colour. U can get one for $1.00++ in LFS if found.

4. Cherry Shrimp
--> A shrimp ranging from pinkish to reddish. Cheap and hardy. Easiest to find in Singapore besides feeder shrimps. Ranges from the price of 20cents to 80cents in Singapore. Good beginner shrimp

5. Yamato Shrimp
--> very similar to Ghost shrimp except you can find one line of dots along its body. Very effective algae clearing shrimp and a curious little fella. Tend to scurry about looking for food. Around $1 per pc.

6. Blue/Green Shrimp
--> Not much known about them. Turns blue, green according to the condition of the water. Hardly opaque. Quite cheap too although not very common. Maybe a mutant of ghost shrimp. Costs around 40cents - 70cents per pc.

7. Rudolph Shrimp
--> Long-bodied shrimp with red on it's tip and "spinal area". Very tough fish to rear. Not recommended for beginners. At least $1 per pc.

8. Tiger Shrimp
--> Another fickle shrimp. It's bodies are striped, similiar to a tiger, hence the name. Not easy to rear. Quite cheap. 50cents per pc.

9. Bee Shrimp
--> not to be confused with black diamond shrimp. A shrimp with a black/transparent pattern like a zebra. Relatively hardy. Cheap too. 50cents per pc.

10. Pink Zebra Shrimp
--> VERY rare and VERY brittle shrimp. The possible mutated offspring of tiger shrimp. Very timid fellow that hardly comes out to feed. Costs around 3.50 per pc.

11. Crystal Red / (and Black Diamond) Shrimp
--> The king of shrimps here. not in terms of their physical characteristic but in terms of rearing. The last and final stop for shrimp rearers. very pretty shrimp. With red/white zebra-like patterns (with black/white pattern for black diamond. - note the difference with bee shrimp?). The only shrimp with grades. Grades with C, B, A, S, SS, SSS with some extra "birthmarks" like 'No-Entry Sign', 'Hinomaru', 'Tiger Tooth' ...
Rough Prices for
C -> 1.00 - 1.50
B -> 3.00 - 6.00
A -> 6.00 - 10.00
S -> 20.00 - 30.00
SS -> 80 - 100
SSS -> >150
Maybe this is the reason why they are called the king of shrimps too.
