Reading today's numbers
The highest per-shrimp price for Carbon Rili Shrimp today ($5.50) is 2.2× the lowest ($2.50). 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 ($4.55) 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 9 of 15 tracked listings are in stock right now; today's stats come from the in-stock ones.

Price history
The per-shrimp market median for Carbon Rili 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 Carbon Rili Shrimp cost?
- The median is $4.55 per shrimp, based on 6 in-stock listings with a stated pack size across 2 US vendors as of September 2, 2026. The range runs from $2.50 per shrimp at the low end to $5.50 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 Carbon Rili Shrimp?
- Coast Gem USA has the lowest verified per-shrimp price at $2.50 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 Carbon Rili Shrimp?
- 3 of the US shrimp vendors the index tracks list them as of September 2, 2026: Coast Gem USA at $2.50 per shrimp, Shrimpy Business at $4.40 per shrimp and The Shrimp Farm at $31.99 per pack (animal count not stated). Each figure is that vendor's cheapest current listing.
- Has the price of Carbon Rili Shrimp changed?
- No. The per-shrimp market median has held steady at $4.55 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.
