The life span of the extreme fire shrimp is about 1-2 years. Generally speaking, they will die in about a year and a half of breeding. However, depending on the breeding environment and individual genes, their life span will also vary. Individuals with good genes can live for about two years in a suitable environment. In the case of poor individual genes or poor breeding environment, they can only live for a little more than a year.
The extreme fire shrimp can generally grow to a length of 2-3cm. But this length is not fixed, and it is related to many factors. The most important factor is genes, and individuals with good genes tend to grow larger. Then there is also a certain relationship with the farming environment. Individuals who grow in a suitable environment will grow longer. In addition, it is also related to gender. Generally, the size of female shrimp is slightly larger than that of male shrimp.
The growth rate of the extreme fire shrimp is relatively fast. Generally, it only takes 3-4 months from birth to reproduction. Some individuals with faster growth and development have reproductive capacity after two and a half months of birth. In practice, it is recommended to use shrimps over 3 months old as seed shrimps. In this way, better shrimp seedlings can be bred.
