Re: new tat new crabs

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Vita-Sand pretty much the same thing as Calci-Sand? Even if it isn't the same thing, it still would be way cheaper for you to buy playsand and coconut husk to fill your tank instead.

Re: new tat new crabs

Re: switch shells

I had the same problem when I got Sparky last August. He had a painted shell and never wanted to change out of it. In the end, it took him eight months to find a shell he liked enough to switch into.
