Reading today's numbers
The highest per-shrimp price for Black Rose Shrimp today ($12.00) is 3.2× the lowest ($3.80). A spread that wide is common for Neocaridina 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 ($5.10) 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 15 of 20 tracked listings are in stock right now; today's stats come from the in-stock ones.

Price history
The per-shrimp market median for Black Rose Shrimp has held steady across all 50 days we've tracked it. That's normal here: US dwarf shrimp prices hold still rather than drifting — genuine repricings are vanishingly rare across the whole index (we measured this across the whole market) — so today's numbers above are a dependable benchmark, not a snapshot of a jittery market.
Common questions
Every answer below is computed from this page's own numbers at build time, and updates with the daily data refresh.
- How much do Black Rose Shrimp cost?
- The median is $5.10 per shrimp, based on 9 in-stock listings with a stated pack size across 3 US vendors as of September 2, 2026. The range runs from $3.80 per shrimp at the low end to $12.00 at the high end. One other vendor sells them in packs whose animal count the listing doesn't state (The Shrimp Farm), so those listings are excluded from the per-shrimp figures rather than divided by a guessed pack size.
- Which vendor has the cheapest Black Rose Shrimp?
- Superior Shrimp Aquatics has the lowest verified per-shrimp price at $3.80 per shrimp, as of September 2, 2026. Prices exclude shipping and live-arrival guarantee terms, which differ by vendor and can change which store is cheapest to your door. Pack listings without a stated animal count cannot be compared per shrimp and are left out of this comparison.
- Which vendors sell Black Rose Shrimp?
- 4 of the US shrimp vendors the index tracks list them as of September 2, 2026: Superior Shrimp Aquatics at $3.80 per shrimp, Shrimpy Business at $4.80 per shrimp, Flip Aquatics at $12.00 per shrimp and The Shrimp Farm at $39.99 per pack (animal count not stated). Each figure is that vendor's cheapest current listing.
- Has the price of Black Rose Shrimp changed?
- No. The per-shrimp market median has held steady at $5.10 on every one of the 50 days the index has tracked them. US dwarf shrimp prices hold still rather than drifting: the index has yet to observe a single genuine repricing of a shrimp listing.
- Are Black Rose Shrimp in stock right now?
- 15 of the 20 listings the index tracks for them were in stock as of September 2, 2026, across 4 vendors.
