these guys are awesome! how long do they typically live? and do they livebirth like brine shrimp?

[@BranchiopodLab]

What is the biggest and most colourful fairy shrimp?

[@BranchiopodLab]

Branchinecta gigas is the largest fairy shrimp species, and the most colorful species in my opinion are those found in the genus Eubranchipus. 😉
