I want to ask that if the female is A grade and the male is SSS, what is the Shrimplet? They will be A or SSS or both? are there any change to have SS?:p

You can literally get anything and everything, theoretically you should be looking to S onwards depending how whether the solid white of the

SSS male comes through or whether its patchy. Either way a bit of selective breeding and back crossing the male with any female shrimplets

that come through.

I've had a B grade female in the past that constantly threw S grade shrimplets, it didn't matter what male mated with her, she was the

dominant provider from what we saw. So that can happen as well. Just encourage them, provide good conditions and see what happens.

+1 KiwiBigD.... depends on the generations too...if a A grade had a SSS and S parent, and mated with a SS, the possibility of higher grades would theoritically be better. If a SS came from a S and A parent, and mated with a S, the possibility of mid grades would theoriticall be greater. Thus it is important not just to buy a say SS grade shrimp.....knowing the parent or even further down the shrimp tree is also critical.... this a SS grade that came from a F5+ tank of SSS/SS, can be x2+ more expensive then a SS grade that came out of a generic grade tank.
