HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I have always been like that with my pets too as a kid.....although when I was little I would get on my hands and knees an pretend I was a dog and bark and chase my older siblings around the house like that hahah oh wow you had to patch a hole! You sound like you have a lot of patience lol I would b...

Awwwwww sooo cute! He reminds me of my parents dog who also shivers and shakes at the slightest breeze. Poor dog used to have the most beautiful long hair and now that he's 15 it's thin and not so pretty anymore :( Lol I love your cats face! Definately a lot of 'tude there! It's funny because cats s...

I love the rain, but the part that bites about that is as soon as the heat kicks in it gets soooooo humid. I hate humidity! Lol your poor husband is right, that must've been horrible! But totally worth it at the same time in a manly aspect because he was bringing home his family :) yeah we got more ...

Lol :) I'm still not sure which I prefer! The heat or the cold, I like the in between the most. 70's with no humidity. It's crazy and we are getting more snow on top of it! My town is actually on the news for all of the snow that we are getting lol crank your A/C up high and see what I'm talking abo...

Lol Happy New Year! Sorry to hear you've been sick and still not sleeping. This cold weather stinks! We got slammed with 31 inches of snow and much more to come tonight and tomorrow :( how much do you have? I no longer even have a yard, just HUGE mountains of snow and snow drifts. Seriously, this is...

How are you, Nia?

Yeah you're right, these guys are fat and not fast swimmers at all, try even waddle back and forth when they swim lol my parents only had common goldfish in their pond, I think it is at least 3 feet deep, and I'm not sure what the laws are either in Maine. They never took there's out either, they al...

Wow thank you that does all help! And I'm glad to hear that she doesn't look that bad :) phew! Well as of now she is being kept in a smaller container that is floating in the main tank until I can get a handle on the situation and to try to help her fins grow back. Yeah she gets pretty tossed around...

Thank you

Sadly I also think I annoyed the young guy who was selling me the fish because I asked so many questions and he just gave up lol but I went through a phase where I was so excited about having fish that I didn't even think about the repercussions before I bought so many :/

Yeah you guys are gonna hate me but I do know all this. I have been looking everywhere for a 50 gallon tank and my funds are so limited I can't just buy one because they are quite expensive. As a temporary fix I'm thinking of switching my crabs tank, which is a 29 gallon, with the fish tank (4 crabs...

Crap, I totally forgot I was supposed to buy a kit to test the nitrate levels and what not in this tank. I know the ph levels aren't very good but I've heard mixed reviews on messing with the ph. It's a 20 gallon tank, there is a filter, and I change maybe 50% of the water once a month so it stays c...

I know a lot of people on here have Bettas and are pretty much experts on them. I was in denial that something might be wrong with my Betta, Sparkles, but now I'm thinking she may have fin rot due to too over crowding in the tank (which I am also in denial about lol). Her fins are a little tattered ...

Your childhood sounds a lot like mine! My parents let us have lots of pets as well :) I've had 3 dogs (a pitbull and two pekingneses), two leopard geckos, an African bullfrog, three tree frogs, 4 cats, two hamsters, a guinea pig, a chinchilla, Oscars, Bettas, goldfish....um...a turtle...my brother h...
