Swim in the new pool

Post by cRABB3R&w[]FE » Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:44 am

Have not even finished the new tank all the way, but got a couple new crabs unexpectedly so the crabs got to upgrade ahead of scedule and they seem to be loving the new digs, they are going to flip when it is totally done.

Hagrid thinking about going for his third swim of the evening

Wow; that tank looks fun; I can see why the crabs are liking it! I would love to see a full tank shot however.

They do look very happy :D ! Is the object Oxnard is climbing on a large armored-hat wearing head with a huge mouth opening? I picked up the thing I've described at PetSmart (on sale) a few months ago and the guys really liked it -- it has since been rotated out in favor of the two-tier corner self.

Thank you the crabs have barely been sleeping they like the place so much, and I will get the full tank shot when I'm finished with everything I had to move a couple guys prematurely to bring in two new baby crabs. But I will be 100% soon!

That is the exact one, I swapped it out actually when my largest crab switched into a shell that was too big to fit through the back but hagrid has now switched into a more compact jade turbo. You will like what I just made to attach to it, I'll have to get some picture :crabbigsmile:
