How long do electric blue crayfish live?

[Ninjakiller08]

I have searched up online and I get multiple answers like they like for 10 years, 20 years, and 5 years. I am really confused and thought some of you guys would know the answer and could share this with me.

Anyone?

Think some of the Australian crayfish are short lives. Say five to six years. Also you would probably get more interest in the invert forum

Mine died after 2 years. It continuously had acceptable water parameters and no aggressive tank mates, which leads me to believe it might of died of old age?

There are multiple species that produce blue color morphs. The most frequently available being Procambarus alleni. P. alleni has a life span of 5 years under optimum conditions.

One of the blue aussie species, Cherax quadricarinatus, in aquaria, can live upwards of 12 years.
