I don't know if there is one on here Ceo but you can search it up on the internet and see what you find. It's not that fun but at least you can get a answer

I know that spider plants & air plants are safe, as long as they are not treated with pesticides. There is more but I cant recall at the moment.

I believe curious_kitty used orchids in her build, and the crabs destroyed them in a short amount of time. :(

Is Tilapia or Swai (Steamed and unseasoned) Okay for them? I don't I saw it on the list, but I can't read lists very well I skip over things... ._.

I've fed tilapia and no problems. I would think any fresh fish that is unseasoned should be fine.

I know the list says they can have oranges, but can they have the peel or the white stuff behind it? ( I forgot what it was called)

Hi I just bought a mixed bag of unsalted roasted nuts. It has cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts and hazelnuts. Are any of these a problem for my 3 medium Aussies (I'm in Australia).
Thanks, PS this is my first post of assume will be lots of annoying questions!

This may be a dumb question but I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to my crabbies. Are all kinds of pumpkins okay to feed to them?
