cleaner shrimp?

How long do cleaner shrimp(skunk) live?

I have one that seems rather large compared to those at the LFS.

Anyone know?

It really depends on the health of your tank! They will live longer with good water and husbandry

Depends on a multitude of things. I had a pair that lived for about a year and a half but I bought them when they were fairly large so I think they were already 3/4ths the way into their life-span.

I have one now that I've had for about a year and it's doing well. I think they can get up to 3 inches in body length, not counting feelers and such.
