Hi!
Just got back into the hobby after 5 years!
I had given my friend an old tank that had a candy cane shrimp hitchhiking in the back filter. This shrimp traveled to Michigan, West Virgina, and to NYC x2 and survived the trips. Two weeks ago he gave me his tank because he no longer had time. The tank glass and rocks were covered in red algae and he had only ever topped up the tank with Brita water.
The shrimp is still alive!!!! It is 9 years old! Anyone had a fish/invert that lived far longer than they expected? Now I'm worried it'll just croak any second.
