Liosomodoras Oncinus Longevity
Does anyone know the lifespan of these guys in captivity? I apologize if this has already been answered in a previous post--I tried to search previous posts but got tangled in a nasty web of name calling & misunderstandings

Re: Liosomodoras Oncinus Longevity
I've kept mine for about 7 years and she's still doing fine (in someone else's tank).
I would estimate this species is able to live for at least 10 - 15 years, maybe longer, provided it gets good care.
What do you mean by your last remark wrt name calling and misunderstandings?

Re: Liosomodoras Oncinus Longevity
A typical case of "if you don't like the message, blame the messenger". Happens every now and again on forums, I'm afraid.

Re: Liosomodoras Oncinus Longevity
Unfortunately with forums we don't have the ability to show voice inflection & emotion and messages don't come through as intended and thus misunderstandings happen. I think if you haven't had your own misunderstanding in a forum, you haven't posted enough. I wasn't trying to stir the pot, was just pointing out it was difficult to find what I was looking for because I had to sift through that thread.
