The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Oh Sure I didn't get that! Yeah I was just wondering if that could be the case. Who knows...

I just spotted this article that says the lifespan of the metabetaeus lohena is six years. I don’t know how to copy and paste,but if you google (anchialine pond shrimps DLNR) it will pop up. It is the only reference to their age that I’ve ever seen.

Nice find, I will backup the document for the archives.

There is a nice video about this study on youtube too. I watched it some time ago.

Six years? Not as long as the Opae Ula but still quite long for a shrimp.

Somehow I think it is longer...
