My snail died.

My snail finally died after approximately 19 years. It’s a sad day. He stinks too. Lol. I grew him from a nub. I think he was the longest thing I had besides my live rock. RIP grandpa.

19 years? That's really impressive. RIP to him.

Guess I got my 2 dollars worth of clean up crew.
That’s my guess is 19 years. He didn’t stand out until the 3 year mark when he was bigger than the others.

Impressive life under your watch! I told one of my classes and they suggest memorializing him like we did our big snail by using the shell to hold a small epiphyte (air plant):

19 years wow!! A few years back I was willed a yellow headed amazon parrot from a family member that passed away that was pushing 60 years old..I've had numerous large birds in the past but the ex wife acquired those..The yellow headed parrot passed away 8 months later the vet said most likely from a broken heart since it was bonded to gramps for 60 years...It was literally like have a 3year old running around talking and singing Spanish tunes! Only if fish could talk instead of body language lol..
