what would you guys grade these RCS?

[OBEYtheFISH]

These are from my regular rcs not my "PFR"
I hope the pics are clear
Thanks guys

I'd rate those very high. You've brought out the Red quality quite well. Congrats. I wish mine were all that pretty!

 

[OBEYtheFISH]

Thanks!
But would you say higher than PFR?
Some have a dark red velvet color with like a whitish streak thru the back

I'd give them Sakura quality, based on what I've seen. I just bought 'PFRs' online. They're not what I expected, needless to say.

True PFRs are a deep and complete red

A lot of places just throw those names around
Did you buy them off a breeder online?

 

[MABJ]

Yeah, I did.

He had a lot of great feedback. I know they throw those names around.

Some of them are really good reds, none of them are 'fire red' quality.

One is, and she is about to give birth. I'm hesitant to give bad feedback. He shipped well, he even accidentally sent a baby, which I'm raising.

But I mean they certainly weren't what I suspected would be coming. I'll breed out the red quality though.

Yeah just raise them cull out the low reds & eventually you'll get a better strain
& sell off the culls for cheap & in sometime you'll have your money back lol

also add other rcs to the strain after a while

It will be a lonnnngg time before I need to add genetic stock. One thing he does is pull from 4 different tanks lol

But you just described my plan. How long does it take for your babies to get colored up?

 

[OBEYtheFISH]

I haven't really payed attention to that :/
I'll keep a time chart on my next batch lol

Great. I'm giving it 2 weeks. If I dont see color by then, I will leave neutral feedback
