how long do snails usually live?

[tropicfishman]

I had 3 beautiful and fun to watch ramshorns, but two of them have died within the last 2 weeks, but my water parameters are perfect, so I guess its old age, how lonbg does a ramshorn usually live?

I'm not sure exactly but JChillin sent me a few quite a while ago and they are all three still living. It's been at least 6 or 7 months since he sent them.

it realy depends on the species and the age it was when you got it...

i had a Marisa cornuarietis that was 3/4 inch in diameter when i got it, i had it almost 2 years before it died over the summer at ~1.5" diameter...

i guess it depends on the condition in which you got them, and the current conditions of the water.

Warmer water leads them to mature (age) faster and lead shorter lives, so in a tropical tank you can generally expect 2 - 3 years
