LHC Straw Arrival- 2014- Finally!
LHC Straw Arrival- 2014- Finally!
I feel I must share, brag, gloat... call it what we will.... I'm in cuteness overload right now. So far I only know the sex of one of them and he's a he. (yay! This will make boy 2 in a tank unintentionally full of females).
This was arrival day- they have all changed shells/eaten/soaked- they are meeting the rest of the crew today (right now, actually).
A bit blurry- my camera was difficult to keep stable ....
I really can't believe I waited so many years to acquire these guys. They truly are amazing.
Thanks for looking

I am so jelly that I am jam. Those are some great looking straws. Congrats.
Re: LHC Straw Arrival- 2014- Finally!
@ErikRasmussen- LOL! and thank you
Hmmmmm....I've been sitting here watching them and here is where I'm stuck:
three of the 4 look identical. I can find nothing that distinguishes them apart from each other. Besides turning them upside down and sexing them every time... I don't even know how to name them, maybe I shouldn't even try to name them...
The one who still has her baby stripes get a name- Lucy or Bee. I haven't decided yet.
Or maybe I should name them as a collective group instead of individually.
As my PP's have grown up- I can't tell who is who anymore (except for a couple, who leave me with zero doubt) I knew them all by certain colors and markings- time goes by and molts go by... and they all look the same now- I feel that I am most likely guessing 80% of the time I try to ID one of them. *shakes head*
I've actually considered renaming the entire group of them. After years of calling them certain names, I can't see that being at all successful either.

Re: LHC Straw Arrival- 2014- Finally!
Do you think you can distinguish them by personality? I find that the only time their names are useful to me is when I am describing them to other people. Usually I have my own "mental idea" of who is who and the name just describes that.

Nice group, I can see why you're bragging!
I really wouldn't mind finding some straws in my local pet stores, a bit a variety is needed in my tank..

None of my crabs have names except for Bigs haha. I feel bad sometimes but they can be hard to tell apart! They don't seem to mind
They are so cute!

Hi Avery! How long ago did you place your order on LHC? I placed an order a blue about a month ago, just wondering what the average wait time is.
