I bought three of these guys at petsmart for 33 US cents a piece! this must be the most enjoyable and cheapest pet one can find. Can anyone identify what species of shrimp it is? thanks
No they can live longer. Take a look at http/www.petshrimp.com/index.html . It has some useful information and pictures of various shrimp. If you take a look at the articles section there's one about shrimp deaths that may come in handy.
