can you put them in tap waer

Please know you can *NEVER* use tap water because of the chlorine and unfiltered substances that occur in the metal pipes which can kill every one of these creatures when they are born. In nature, they live in rain water that collects in pools on rocks in deserts. It has to be SPRING WATER from a bottle or filtered water. Thank you for caring about them

Mine got about as big as my ring - fingernail. We had to put him in a bigger container because he outgrew the smaller one. I fed him regular food and I/2 of a cherry tomato everyday.

How long do they live?

Well, they're supposed to live about six weeks, I think; but if you're sent a bunch of seed shrimp and water fleas (as I was) they will breed and multiply and pretty much live until you kill them.
