The Bonsi? I saw it on here, might even have been your post but my 30 gal was too small for it. When I knew I was upgrading, I was like a kid in the candy store at PetSmart picking it out! :hlol: :hlol: :hlol:

I love it too!

Ugh, I want those shells so badly!!!! I'm hoping to increase my selection when I go down to Florida after Christmas.
When you've been crabbing for so long, you don't even know how many crabs you have now...

These are four of the new one's. I'm not good at the whole sexing them thing. NAME SUGGESTIONS?

The green tapestry changed out of a soccer ball but I have a PELE.
The orange tapestry changed out of a baseball.
The little flower won't change.
The little guy changed twice and went back.

Send me names, please!

You tank looks so colorful and happy!! Your crabs are adorable; I especially love the little guy. Your huge container of extra shells is making me drool..

I'm terrible at naming so I'll leave suggestions to someone else. ;)

Haha, it looks like a crabby wonderland it there, all that colour! :) I bet the crabs are loving it.

They seem too. All except Blue. He is seriously pissed off right now. I spotted him out tonight in the 30 gal and moved him over. I'm going to transition the guys in the 30 gal as I can. I need to redo the sub. I mixed too much EE (newbie) and it's just a little wet for my taste. Not flooded but still. I also need to redo the UTH's. I got a new Ultratherm for that tank but since I have at least 4 down right now, I don't want to play. I'm going to grab them as I can and move them to the 65.

The new Tat is my version of banishing the winter blues....
Its all bleak and dingy outside but my tat is a tropical flower garden (fake as it might be) :banana: :hlol:

Is that a luffa cut in sections hanging from the top of your crabitat? If note what is it? And do your crabs like to climb on it?

And this is a very pretty set up, I must say! It's very impressive!

Yes, you are correct. I found it at PetSmart in the Bird toys. All natural. Cotton Rope, coconut husks, hard wood (not pine) and Luffa.
I need to get some additional way for them to get to it. I have Cholla coming. Right now its not immediately acsessable. LOL.

I also want to get the all shells up to the second level but I'm trying to temp some out of painted shells so for now, they stay.
Thank you for the compliments.
