Id totally have a tank of these if one shrimp didn't cost $200 dollars

they're also only bred overseas from what I've been able to find. rip

@animeirl 200.00 for a crustacean? are they at edible?

@ajr i mean they're not poisonous but you'd have to be pretty dumb to spend $200 on a pedigree shrimp and then just eat it

@animeirl i dunno i cant see shrimp as anything but food and people pay top dollar for caviar.
they did look pretty all give them that.

@animeirl *looks up how long a shrimp's lifespan is

That's considerable longer than I thought...

@animeirl Yeah that's a good while for something a couple centimeters long, lmao.

@oyasumi most similarly sized (and even somewhat larger) live like 2 years. converted to human years it'd be like living to 800

@animeirl I'm scared of getting a large bird because of the commitment and you've committed 20 years to shrimp. ( that blue one would look amazing in an aquascape )

@oyasumi the long-lived ones are insanely low maintenance otherwise id probably not have done it lol. only need to be fed once a week or so and water changed twice a year

@animeirl That makes a lot more sense. The birds I'm interested in are like demon toddlers that don't grow up.
