HCA: Hermit Crab Association

WOW! That's a crab dream home right there! I think I need to dig in and find my creative side so when we build our house I have a custom built crab wall rather than my 55g corner.

I am still interested in pieces Brian, just having to wait on the extra cash now. I will email you back soon as I know. Sorry it has taken this long :/ the kids had extra expenses the past week so threw off my getting to order the Cholla

Just took the mirror out, thanks for showing me that! Fish just like hermit crabs, more bad harmful advice out there than what is right for them.

When I did a basic google search I read something about the larger double half moons and another......forget the name, getting to where they can't raise them anymore because of the muscle getting weak from 3 things, not enough space for movement/exercise (those sick little 12 oz can's they have them...

Oh my goodness those Bettas are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Forget those prices, I will be content to look at pretty pictures

OMG that was on my list and didn't grab those! I can get them tomorrow. Getting ready to do a water change now.

Went with my gut and research, got the Mystery snail since they eat both algae and left over food from the bottom of the tank. Picked up the 5 in 1 test kit today, everything is perfect, 0 Nitrate and 0 Nitrite, PH was same 7.2 to 7.8, Alkalinity was between the 2 ideal range colors, and I have sort...

Thanks for the water flow. The betta tank hopefully will be done and going tonight. We have had goldfish before. We had 2 at the same time, one lived 2 years, the other between 4 and 5 years when there was an accident involving our son who was a toddler at the time. I loved the catfish thing that Wo...

YAY still going strong! Do know you know many you still have left?

Oh yeah it was a tiny guy. My daughter informed me that the label said O. Catfish, I guess it wasn't mis-labeled after all. If I am still able to get out of my driveway tomorrow I will be sure to get the other kit to test the water. No one is showing any of those signs which we did have to change th...

OK so I just looked up the Otocinclus............they had some of the black and silver stripe type ones at Pet Supplies Plus but had them listed as a Catfish......I wanted one soooo bad, loved the color, (but it's hubby's tank) so I refrained. Would that be the same as you mentioned Wode?

Not putting a bubbler in the betta tank, just the other tank. How do I divert the current in the betta tank? The algea eater he was thinking of is the spotted pleco one, like we had years ago, but I like the idea of a snail in the gold fish tank and maybe one in the betta tank but not until algae gr...

I looked up all of them just a bit ago and got the names of each, woulda saved me time to just come back here first lol. Oh my goodness! That is one of the most horrible pet store stories I've heard! My brother and I had an Oscar when we were kids (no clue they grew to the size of their tank) and af...

We had planned on Petsmart but they were closed. Amazing the difference in chain locations. We actually were at the PSP that I have only been in once before, there are 3 in Knoxville, 2 Petco's, and 3 or 4 Pet Smarts. Pet Supplies Plus (Kingston Pike) is where you get crabs, Petsmart Murrell Road or...

TY I will head over there and save that page. Yup, pet stores stink! Which is why I begged him to wait and go to Petsmart or Petco because A much LARGER selection, he could have gotten his tropical ones he wanted and B they know more, but he had to have some now now now, and Pet Supplies Plus was al...
