I have been keeping three red crystal shrimp for a couple of months now, and the largest one has just died, but before it went I could see she was carrying eggs. I am wondering if death immediately after release of eggs is normal for this species - in a sort of Octopus way?
Also - how long do they live generally? The other large one of the former trio is now pretty much sitting life out under a leaf and I fear it won't be long until this one keels over also. Are they a very short-lived species?
Any input would, as always, be most appreciated.
