Cheapest per vendor

Per-shrimp prices are computed from pack size (a $33 ten-plus-one pack is $3.00/shrimp). Shipping and live-arrival guarantee terms differ by vendor and can change which one is cheapest to your door.

Reading today's numbers

The highest per-shrimp price for Red Sakura Shrimp today ($3.00) is 1.2× the lowest ($2.50). That is a fairly tight range, meaning vendors broadly agree on what this shrimp is worth right now. When judging a price, the median ($2.75) 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.

Price history

The per-shrimp market median for Red Sakura 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 Red Sakura Shrimp cost?

The median is $2.75 per shrimp, based on 2 in-stock listings with a stated pack size across 1 US vendor as of September 2, 2026. The range runs from $2.50 per shrimp at the low end to $3.00 at the high end. Only one of the vendors the index tracks currently lists them at a verifiable per-shrimp price, so this reflects a single store's listings rather than a cross-vendor comparison. 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 vendors sell Red Sakura Shrimp?

2 of the US shrimp vendors the index tracks list them as of September 2, 2026: Coast Gem USA at $2.50 per shrimp and Shrimpy Business at $102.90 per pack (animal count not stated). Each figure is that vendor's cheapest current listing.

Has the price of Red Sakura Shrimp changed?

No. The per-shrimp market median has held steady at $2.75 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.
