My first crab, a large PP named Mac, came to me almost 2 years ago from a young friend who'd gotten her through the state fair. Her conditions previously were not as good as they could have been but Mac is a survivor! Google-nut that I am, I read up immediately on some basics and gave her an improved home here. Though she seemed to be happy enough alone, recently I decided I ought to provide her with some buddies. I brought home some small Ecuadorians after falling in love with those marvelous eyes. Most of the little guys (and they are ALL males except her) are buried down at the moment, but I'm so pleased that the largest E, Zoidberg, came up yesterday after almost a month underground. Whew!
Currently I'm working on outfitting a bigger tank for the group and have gotten so many great ideas from this forum. Swimming pools and GS ledges and yes, I've even made the dreaded false bottom. Here's hoping that it comes out like I'm picturing it, and that the crabbies love it. Keep the ideas coming!
I'm so bad at this technical stuff.
