Description

Crystal red shrimp are stunning in color and pattern. They are the red mutation of the wild bee shrimp. Most hobbyists refer to crystal red shrimp as CRS. The CRS is an entry-level freshwater shrimp for the Caridina genus. When a hobbyist is making the transition from Neocaridina to Caridina, the crystal red shrimp is a great option to start with. While crystal red requires a lower PH, they can still live in conditions that are slightly alkaline (PH above 7).

水晶红虾的颜色和图案令人惊叹。它们是野生蜂虾的红色变种。大多数爱好者将水晶红虾称为 CRS。 CRS 是Caridina 属的入门级淡水虾。当爱好者从 Neocaridina 过渡到 Caridina 时，水晶红虾是一个不错的选择。虽然水晶红需要较低的PH值，​​但它们仍然可以在弱碱性（PH值高于7）的条件下生存。

The grading scale for CRS is somewhat difficult to comprehend at first. Here are the grades in order of highest to lowest: SSS, SS, S, A, B, and C. The higher the grade (SSS), the less red the shrimp will have. So, a C-grade shrimp will be almost all red while an SSS-grade shrimp will be almost completely white. The other way to grade the shrimp is by color and how solid the color is versus being transparent in color. Shrimp with poor color are usually culled (separated) from the colony.

CRS 的分级标准一开始有些难以理解。以下是按从高到低的顺序排列的等级：SSS、SS、S、A、B 和 C。等级 (SSS) 越高，虾的红色越少。因此，C 级虾几乎全是红色，而 SSS 级虾几乎全是白色。对虾进行分级的另一种方法是根据颜色以及颜色的纯色与颜色的透明程度。颜色不佳的虾通常会从虾群中剔除（分离）。
