Ok so i just put an order for straws and violas. IM geting really nervous about the straws. My heat is about 77 and 78 is that ok and the humity is always 80%. Are straws very active and violas are very active.? im getting nervous.

My straws are active in the day time as well as at night.My temp goes between 75 and 81 and humidity does too. when it is 75 to 78 they go under the substrate when it is around 80 they are very active day or night.

Ok, Im doing a study on them and ill give this site my info on what i get. Im also getting blueberrys. What is there temerpeature they prefer in your tank?

I only have one little blueberry he is in the same tank as the straws and he also comes out during the day when the straws are out,he tends to hide under things more than the straws but
sometimes he digs under a water dish and sleeps

Ok, Im nervous I dont want them to die so im sking so many ?s what about your violas are they mean?

I'm sorry but I have no violas so can't help you with them.

For Straws, you should probably get another heat source to make it warmer in the tank. I believe I read that their heat shouldn't get below 80. Most exotics are that way, actually. Violas, from what I hear, are the easiest to care for out of the exotics. But they're most likely to dig up and cannibalize molters. Perhaps you should read over tigermoon's updated caresheets in the caresheet section.

Ive read them very good info. Why did it take so long get your straws

They had a mite outbreak and the LHC wanted to make sure they were clean before shipping them.

O yea thats rite. I put an order in last night. so they should be here with in this week. i hope

They should be. I ordered 3 Ruggies and 3 Blueberries tonight, as a tank warming gift for myself.

I did 2 orders i got 2 straws 1 viola. then at midnight i ordered 2 med anf large blue. I put my wron address down lol so i jjust emailed them my real adress. also did they give you a confirmation about tracking yet.
