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 Skittles / Assorted Neocaridina cost?
- The median is $4.04 per shrimp, based on 12 in-stock listings with a stated pack size across 4 US vendors as of September 2, 2026. The range runs from $3.18 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 (Superior Shrimp Aquatics), so those listings are excluded from the per-shrimp figures rather than divided by a guessed pack size.
