Spring flowers for the crabitat

Post by Crabinski » Thu Mar 10, 2016 5:22 pm

As though the crabs care :roll: , I like to change the flowers in the crabitat to reflect the seasons. So over the weekend, out went the warm yellows and oranges of winter and in came the pale greens and purples of spring.

Also placed the large shell shop on top of another plastic tray in which several "doorways" were cut. It really helps to keep the shells a lot cleaner and gives the guys another place to hide from me :lol: .

no way!! I sware you had a 40g B. I must be thinking of someone else. How the heck do you make it look so clean and beautiful! Ugh I could never! I love that you change the flowers out for the seasons, something new for you and the crabs to look at.

Good old Dollar Tree at $1 a pop! Makes it easy on the pocketbook to change them out. The short brushy greenery in the front is from Jo-Ann; the short pineapple-top-ish one between the pools on the left is from PetSmart (on sale, of course!) and the various vines are from Goodwill.

Where did you get the little plastic container you put the shell shop on? Also the one above, is it a shower caddy? It seems to be attached to the tank wall.

The green and red baskets are also from Dollar Tree (sold in one-color 3-packs for $1). The small shell shop is actually a suction cup soap dish from Walmart. It served as a mini-moss pit in the old 10g and works very nicely here to hold the little shells suitable for Charles Paris...of course, he likes to shop among the shells in the green basket, suitable for his larger tank mates, while large Big Enzo is obsessed with the small shells :lol: !
