Re: Miracle grow?
They do not eat the pothos. If you basically protect the main root from their digging it up, the only problem I had was that eventually (in the 55g) it was kind of taking over! I had a couple of ferns for awhile that they also did not seem to want to eat, but again, the ferns eventually browned out and died.

Re: Miracle grow?

Re: Miracle grow?
Cacti and aloe are both made for very dry environments, not high humidity, as well as preferring a good bit of sun, so I doubt they would like it in the crab tank. Also, there is some concern with aloe that it might be toxic (at least, it used to be on the "no-no" list; I don't know if it still is).
You might find that the pothos you have that appears to be one plant is really several. The one I bought this past winter and have been allowing to cycle out any pesticides for the past couple of months was actually three plants in one pot, so when I washed all the soil off the roots, I separated them, and now I have them in three different pots, each with a different kind of "root protector" over them. I'll put them all in the 90g (as soon as Major Tom comes up. . . coming up on a year underground, for him, now. . . ) and see how the different "root protection" strategies hold up.
