I think I still have three or four down for molting in their old tank. They are gonna freak out when they pop up and everyone has deserted them. The old tank is also pretty bare.

This is Aston chillin' out in the broccoli

And this is Paisley hangin' in the tree

The really don't do anything crazy out of the ordinary except sometimes dragging a (dry) sponge from corner to corner for no apparent reason...

@Freckles24 - that's awesome that your crabs eat broccoli!!! Still can't get mine to touch the stuff.

@soilengringa - yea, I've tried strawberries 5 times now, and still no interest. :? Crazy critters, don't they know strawberries are delicious?
