๐Care notes
CBS the black version of Crystal Red. Identical water requirements and grading system. Can be crossed with CRS to produce panda variants over multiple careful generations of selective breeding.
๐ฝ๏ธFeeding
Bee shrimp foods, biofilm, blanched soft vegetables in small amounts. Feed very sparingly.
๐ฃBreeding
Same as Crystal Red. 30 day gestation. Complete water stability is absolutely required during this period.
โญGrading
Same grading system as Crystal Red from C through SSS based on pattern coverage and definition.
