I have a couple jumbo BR and they're about 4"and 6". just wondering how long they live for besides the water quality and feeding.

Thanks Bruce. I've read on the internet about them, but wanted to see personal experience.

Chelsea who was with the club years ago had some I know at least 5 years. Hers spawned regularly... She also some spawning mops as club meetings. You can create spawning mobs easily but most likely need more 2 is less likely to spawn than a group.
