Cherry Shrimps

I saw a nice post from www.redcherryshrimp.net . It shows gradings of Cherry Shrimps... well all Neocaridina davidi var. red  are really just cherry shrimps ( wild colour is brown)... they develop nicer red/yellow/green/orange/ brown through selective breeding and culling. Due to the effort, their price also goes higher.Below is the extract of the post in case the post is deleted due to whatever reason. Credits to www.redcherryshrimp.net.

Well how much do they cost locally in SG? ( not updated regularly)
Cherry :- 50pcs for S$10-12, S$10 for 6-8 bucks
Sakura:- 10pcs for S$12-15 bucks
Fire red:- 1pcs  for S$ 1.50 - 3 bucks
Painted red/ bloody mary:- not readily available price hard to estimate

So, do you think a tiny shrimp really worth that much of money? to me...well IMHO the answer is definitely a NO. I will only buy cherry shrimps in bulk as they are just algae crew to me, selective breeding and culling is too much work for a hardworking person like me lol... well i don't cull, i worry about karma..:)
