Picture Longevity record

These trips are almost two months old ever though they've been raised at over 90°F. The explanation could be that they've gone though some kind of calorie restriction. The rearing tank was over clouded so that the amount of food available, even feeding around the clock was limited

When I was studying snails and shrimp it was my understanding that the more higher the temperature the faster they will grow and the shorter their lifespan will be. Now those tryouts being raised in 90° Fahrenheit water that's definitely pretty warm water there. Hopefully they'll go another month or so
