Fire shrimp price jump

[Pagodazoa]

I guess it’s been awhile since I looked at prices for inverts but I always remembered skunk cleaners and fire shrimp being around $30-35 and this is going back a few years ago. It’s not to my knowledge that they’re from a banned collecting area. Anyone know why the scarlet skunk cleaners stayed regular price and fire shrimp jumped so high? Most places are selling them around $85 now

It almost seems that everything is higher regardless of whether they're banned or not or coming from areas that are closed, and it's not just an inflationary thing either. I'm wondering if it's more a supply issue, as things still aren't being shipped as much before.

skunk cleaners are bred by aquaculture. I don't know if the blood shrimps are bred, could still be wild caught and grown out.
