Glad you did! They looks so happy!

Tonight my new viola decided to climb to the top of everything!

That tree was all kinds of bent over because of cass! Then he decided to climb to the top of the tank and look over his domain. And maybe check the humidity.

Two of my molters are scratching at the sand in the bottom of the tank, and my lone crab is climbing all over his new climby log!

I wish my molters would show signs of life! How cute that you can hear them down there. Maybe your loner is enjoying having the palace to himself :)

Nope moonbeam, I get it. I used to drool over everyone's hermies- now I feel like I need to upgrade my tank! In all honesty I feel like it's a little tight in there right now. Everyone seems to be getting along fine so I'm not crazy worried. But I hope this year flys by so I can justify an upgrade lol.
I wish I could have some straws or blues- but I am very satisfied at this moment. Maybe if I get a crazy massive tat I can justify more crabs.... Lol

Ryry, I totally get it. I told my husband I had no clue how anyone could want bigger than a 55g... And then I got one and I feel like it's just too small! Don't get me wrong! I love my tank and I'm sure my crabs love the space. But I want exotics someday. Like a bunch of them. And my 55g just isn't going to cut it. Hopefully we can both hold out with peaceful tanks till the bigger ones come our way! Till then we'll just drool over other tanks and crabs, counting down the time till it's our turn!

Omg! Ok so I took this last night. It's Bash who is becoming one of my favorites. He finally found the FBMP (fish bowl moss pit... When I write in my journal that's my shorthand lol) Image just so you can see how pretty his salmon coloring is: Image anyways... Just went over to the tank and there is nothing like seeing a single pincher just moving around in there! This crab cracks me up!

Moonbeam, Fish bowl moss tank is awesome! I totally love it, and will steal this amazing idea!
Also funny story I snuck up to peek at Castiel and as soon as he saw me he dove off the branch. Though he held on and dangled there like I couldn't see him any more....

Thanks! That's one of the two violas I just adopted. That one is more active and loves to climb! Still shy, but I hope that will change!!
