Re: We decided to get crabs!

I had two different anubis (short and tall). They beat them up and ate them. Yup. ATE THEM to death.

Re: We decided to get crabs!

Oh no, I'd MUCH rather have that info, it helps make an educated decision. My problem with the fish were no matter how many water changes and such we made, our tank cycle would always crash and we'd end up with dead fish. It was always so frustrating. It sounds like if I get a good couple of crabs a...

Re: We decided to get crabs!

It wasn't the lack of interaction, it was the cycling and dying that ruined it. I think the crabs will be a lot more interesting since as long as they are properly cared for they are long lived. I also think she'll enjoy seeing them climbing to and fro and such. Crabs have a disproportionately high...

questions from a newbie

We decided to get crabs!

That's a topic I'd normally only use in the sense of eating, but hey, things change! My daughter (17, special needs) has been lamenting what to do with two 20 gallon tanks since she's not interested in fish any longer.
