The average body length of the adult green crystal shrimp is 2-3cm. If the breeding environment is suitable, they can grow larger, up to about 3.5 cm. But if the environment is not very suitable for their growth, they will not be able to grow so large. The body length of some individuals will not reach the average value, only about 1.8 cm. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the water temperature and quality to provide them with a suitable growth environment.
The normal life span of green crystal shrimp is about 1-2 years. If the environment is suitable, they can live longer, but few individuals can live for more than two years. If the environment is poor, they will not be able to achieve such a long life. If the environment is particularly harsh, they may also die prematurely because they can not adapt to the environment. Therefore, attention should be paid to adjusting the environmental conditions in order to avoid their early death.
When the green crystal shrimp is just born, its body length is only 0.2-0.3cm. After about four months of growth, their body length can reach 1.8-2cm. At this time, they have the ability to lay eggs. But at this time, their reproductive capacity is not very strong, and the number of eggs per time is much less than that of the old shrimp in the previous year. After a period of regrowth, when they are bigger, they can lay eggs normally.
