How we grade fancy tigers

Fancy Tiger shrimp are graded based on the intensity, clarity, and distribution of their red and white coloration. Higher grades display more vibrant colors, well-defined patterns, and minimal transparency.

A/S Grade (Entry-Level)

• Lighter colors with more clear or faded sections throughout the body.
• Patterns are less defined, and some areas may lack stripes or show inconsistent markings.
  

SS Grade (Medium Grade)

• More solid and consistent coloration with reduced transparency.
• Stripes are more distinct but may lose definition in certain areas.
• A mix of white and red, but not always evenly distributed across the body. They may be white dominant or red dominant.
  

SSS Grade (High Grade)

• Deep, intense red with minimal to no transparency.
• Bold, well-defined stripes covering the body evenly.
• Strong contrast between red and white, with a balanced distribution.
• The most visually striking grade with the highest clarity and pattern consistency.
