My Amazon order finally came in! I haven't set up the pools yet however more plants and now moss pits have been added! As well as my UTH for the back (that thing is getting hot!). Get ready for pics!

Also amazing first night in the tat- I had the chance to watch my crab tweety switch from her painted shell to a beautiful tapestry shell. More new shells on the way- which is good because that was the only non painted shell I had!
Blue batman was seen emerging from his bat cave through the castle floor. And I got to see all three running around eating and plopping in the water.
I cannot wait to have the pools done! I am feeling very accomplished right now

Omg did u get pix of the actual shell change?
You have a pretty packed tat! Any more will have to go to a second level. Your crabs must be happy, no wonder they've warmed up!
Great job

Thanks! I have tweety fondling the new shell but I didn't wanna shove my iPad in his face during the switch. Lol.
I think those magnaturals are going on my wish list! I wish I could buy a bunch!!

I just happened to see needle in tweetys old shell... They looked like they were having a spat about that. "who said I was done with that shell yet!"
I'm interested to see who is in what shell tomorrow.

I just have to ask---where did you get the large plant that's in the left corner?

Ryry · Post by **Ryry** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 11:54 pm

The far left is a big leafy fake plant from petco lol. There is a smaller one in between my moss pit and the live plant on the right side too. I like them a lot. The big leaves the crabs like to hide under and I usually mist all my plants to help bring humidity up.
Also I received my shells in the mail today! I think blue might be changing his shell!

Also the sharpy letters on my water dishes are to make it idiot proof for Salt or Fresh water- and the sharpy is written backwards on the other side so the crabs water does not touch it... Lol
I need to make a shell garden for them. Because eventually the pool will open!

Lol sharpie letters make it look like a crabby survivors signal!

a shell garden sounds so cute! Post more pix when the pools are open!

Lol will do. Maybe I should put some rocks in there and see if they spell out "help!"
Also as an update on the shell drama in my tank. Tweety and blue have moved into new natural shells! Needle then stole tweetys old shell... Such a younger brother thing to do... Hopefully we will get rid of more soon!

Congrats! They must be like "finally! This new shell doesn't stink!"
