CRS was a temped / weakness gens of wild Black Bee shrimp.
CBS and CRS are coming from same gens family.

The reason why CRS is much more popular than CBS at before, because the first breeder of CRS from Japan are originally want to make the CRS's pattern as Japanese flag which white background and red sun.
That is similar pattern as S+, I call it red dot body pattern.

In my opinion, CRS are even far more than original Black Bee than CBS since the color are different from black. CRS are more fragile than CBS in someways.

Do you have a picture of the Shrimplets?

Mixing CBS/CRS together has 2 opposite opinions:
1) 1 side of saying CRS are from temped and stabilize gens shouldn't mix other color to intervene stabilize gens, it would affect the whiteness/redness.
2) 2nd side of saying CRS's weakness shrimps, need to adding new blood/ gens CRS to strengthen back. After awhile of breeding CRS, you will find some weakness CRS, their characteristic of never grow bigger than 1cm / some female won't berry / some CRS appear pinkish transparent.
2A ) It does create coffee color's CRS like Red+black in low % and it your choice of how to handle it. You can pick 2 coffee breed and breed coffee colony or gave up coffee pieces.

so, if you a breeder serious about CRS blood line, 1st should be your choice - Separate tank. If you a breeder just want to keep healthy CRS, 2nd should be your choice.

I am mixing them together and I haven't seen coffee pieces yet.

CBS and CRS are same grading system.
In my opinion, CBS are more vivid color.

Other forum's opinion of CBS/CRS (AI's Bill):
http://arizonainverts.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=733

"
b be red recessive
B be black dominant (diamond/bee shrimp)

When you cross:

Rxb=Bb+Bb+Bb+Bb -> all are black

Bbxb=bb+Bb -> 50% are black, 50% are red

bxb=bb+bb+bb+bb -> all are red"

[CARE] A water cycle

----------
For a Water Cycle (N cylce from http://www.fishlore.com) when we are doing the cycle of the tank, need to go through stage 1-3 (N cylce from http://www.fishlore.com)

(picture from http://www.fishlore.com)
1) NH3/ NH4 deadly to CRS.
2) NH4 (aerio bacteria) --> NO2, this process bacteria need O2 (air pump) and the bacteria can is ok to light.
3) NO2 (aerio bacteria)-> NO3 should be around the same process in step2, a filter and O2 (air pump) is good for this.

The last step 4 :

"Nitrates are not as harmful to tropical fish as ammonia or nitrites, but nitrate is still harmful in large amounts." (from http://www.fishlore.com)
and this is the most common problem for CRS breeders keeping NO3 below 25ppm
4) NO3-> back to tank / in air <--- this need anaerobic bacteria
(they prefer no light and no O2 to process )
"In saltwater fish tanks, live rock and deep sand beds can have anaerobic areas where denitrifying bacteria can breakdown nitrates into harmless nitrogen gas that escapes through the water surface of the aquarium. "(from http://www.fishlore.com)

Since my problem is high NO3 and the problem is from step 4,
I did the DIY, is strengthening Step 4 and providing larger environment for anaerobic bacteria thats why I use black tube and a long slow flow tube with running out of O2 (since the tube is at the end of the canister step2,3 the bacteria use it) and this is the reason I attach the tubing at the end of the canister.

Also, UGF can kind of turning the substract to a bacteria grow area. and i only use 2/3 area of the tank as UGF. left side without UGF mainly for plant and for grown anaerobic bacteria (susbtract lack of light). Right side is for aerobic bacteria grow. here is how and why I use UGF.

Then after running it 2-3weeks. before NO3 is 25-35ppm, the DIY did lower to Zero.

Thats about how its work,
if u have a same NO3 problem, here is my suggestion DIY that cost only the long black tubing for $15 from internet and a hole of the outflow.

but i didn't use it anymore, since my other pre fiter can do the same work.
