Reading today's numbers

The highest per-shrimp price for Fire Red Shrimp today ($18.00) is 6.0× the lowest ($3.00). 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 ($3.43) 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 14 of 15 tracked listings are in stock right now; today's stats come from the in-stock ones.

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 Fire Red Shrimp cost?
The median is $3.43 per shrimp, based on 9 in-stock listings with a stated pack size across 2 US vendors as of October 18, 2026. The range runs from $3.00 per shrimp at the low end to $18.00 at the high end. One other vendor sells them in packs whose animal count the listing doesn't state (Shrimpy Business), so those listings are excluded from the per-shrimp figures rather than divided by a guessed pack size.
Which vendor has the cheapest Fire Red Shrimp?
Superior Shrimp Aquatics has the lowest verified per-shrimp price at $3.00 per shrimp, as of October 18, 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 Fire Red Shrimp?

Has the price of Fire Red Shrimp changed?
