Reading today's numbers

The highest per-shrimp price for Black King Kong Shrimp today ($22.99) is 4.8× the lowest ($4.80). A spread that wide is common for Caridina morphs and usually isn't the same animal at wildly different prices: grade is the usual driver, with higher-grade or selectively bred lines commanding more than standard stock. Pack size matters too — larger packs tend to work out cheaper per shrimp. When judging a price, the median ($6.20) is the better anchor than the low: the cheapest listing can be a large-pack price or a lower grade. If a quote is well above the median, check the vendor table above to see what grade or pack you're comparing against. Note that 8 of 16 tracked listings are in stock right now; today's stats come from the in-stock ones.
