Most In-Demand Neocaridina Var.?

[uAqua]

Which color (Cherry, Blue Dream, Sunkist, Gold) is most in demand at the moment based on your experience?

Most valuable?

Thanks!

So far my experience is limited to red and blue, but blue often brings a little more money. I've seen them sell for $1.00 more than reds in stores.

A good quality neo typically goes for about 3 dollars each, irrespective of the color from what I have seen. I would agree that reds are most in demand, followed closely by blues.

If you want valuable you will have to step away from Neos and look at some of the rarer caridina morphs coming out like boas, galaxies, fishbones, etc. Or other types of shrimp like sulawesi. However I am not sure you would sell as many to make up for the difference in price compared to just trying to sell popular neo colors.

That varies greatly depending on location. In the almost 3 years I've been keeping fish I don't believe I've seen them in stores for less than $5.00 each, and now they're at least a dollar higher in most places. The most recent place I noticed had reds for $4.99 and blues for $5.99.

Yes, physical stores will be more expensive, I tend to only deal online for buying/selling and the sites I go to its about 3 dollars regardless of color.

I'd like to know where you're finding shrimp at those prices, the online stores I know about have blue diamond and bloody mary neocaridinas at like $8-15 each...

Locally I’m seeing them from $2.50 to $7. Cheaper ones allways look better. Guess those places are moving more. For resale reds and blues are most common.
