jumpsmasher Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 For those who follow the Japanese shrimp trade, there is finally an authorized distributor for Japanese Pure Red Line (JPRL) shrimps on this side of the ocean. Benibachi USA has set up shop in the states and the owners are slowly bringing some shrimps from the Benibachi farms in Japan http://www.benibachi-usa.com/ Prices start at a relatively reasonably $18 (at least for JPRL) for mixed band grade A CRS and go up to $350 for Mosura/Hinomaru Grade SS They go by a different system that what we commonly use here. First by the name of the type of pattern they have (4 bar, hiro, no-entry, mosura etc;), than by grade (A, S, SS, SSS - based on the intensity / solidness of the colors) I actually prefer their grading system but it is not very applicable for non-PRL shrimps as the quality of JPRL or even PRL shrimps are on another level. more info on the grading system: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/benibachi-usa/173323-grading-information.html Hung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
