How this is counted
Every active listing on Shrimp Crash names each colour it has and how it is dealt: free, cheap, or trade. This page reads those listings directly and shows, per colour, how many offers exist and the range of what is being asked. Right now that is 12 offers from 2 breeders. It will get more representative as more people list.
Every breeder here has pledged never to sell a Neocaridina for more than $1, so the ceiling is structural, not a coincidence. Caridina (crystal red, crystal black) are exempt: harder to keep, slower to breed. The shop figure is what a US aquarium store typically charges per Neocaridina at the counter.
