Default Lifespan of Amano shrimp?
I've read on various sites that Amano shrimp have a lifespan of only 2-3 years. But I've had this trio of Amanos for at least 3 years now and they are showing no signs of slowing down.

Is this normal? Anyone kept Amano shrimp this long?

heard it was hard to breed in home aquariums because babies require brackish water to develop.
