Cleaner Shrimp

[ZachH455]

I’ve had a cleaner shrimp for a better part of 2 years. After looking into it a bit, it looks like cleaner shrimp have an expected lifespan of about 3 years. Anyone have experience keeping one for longer than that?

Interested to hear replies as my little guy is pushing 3 years with me in about 4 months :)

Don’t know about their life span but now you have me curious. I’ve had mine for a year but, of course, I don’t know how old he was when I got him. Anyone have an old shrimp?

I’ve got a Blood Shrimp which is also a cleaner shrimp that’s been with me nearly 4 years and I got it almost fully grown.

I'm curious now, to be honest I have never thought about the lifespan of shrimp.
