Jason Hughes Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 We acquired "Snappy" in June 2017. He/she has been living in a 20 gallon coral tank for the past five years, building a network of tunnels and changing the layout of the sand bed in general. A quick search on the web suggests they live about four years, I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar shrimp live longer than average life expectancy?

Timfish Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Love the video, looks like there's some problem solving trying to get the shrimp off the poker. I wouldn't be surprised if their life expectancy is a lot longer. Brittle stars supposedly have life expectancies of a few years (5-10) but I've had several live a couple decades and the oldest one I have was acquired in winter of 97-98 and was already pretty good size so is certainly a few years older than that.

mFrame Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 My longest lived shrimp was about 4 yrs. Interesting question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
