Tank redo

Post by moonbeam » Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:03 pm

So not so long ago I finished my first tank and was so excited to show off my crabs' new crib. And then I found out over the past two weeks that I couldn't reach the food or water bowls without disturbing everyone and moving things around so I took it all out and redecorated. The new floor plan is somewhat of an open concept lol.

In the process, two crabs from the new tank buried down in the old tote. One of my new crabs from the new tank also looks as if he maybe suffering from pps gearing up for a molt so he's now in isolation. So now there are 3 of my 8 crabs in the new tank. Image Squirt the explorer. Image My new girl, no name yet but I'm still getting to know her. And of course big Bob is somewhere in there hiding (or pouting).

Thanks, it's a 55 gallon tank.

When checking on my old tote last night I found that one of my crabs came up from a molt! This is my tiny crab who went down immediately the day I brought her home. I didn't know if she would pull through but a month later here she is and she's grown back her missing leg :) ImageImage she's very camera shy (or me shy) so I couldn't get a good one but that little red line on top of her pincher is her new leg:) she makes squirt (my previously smallest crab) look huge!

Nope no name yet. She's so tiny and cute but last night I took pictures of her and then she immediately went back into hiding. I'm so glad to know she's doing good and has grown back her little leg. But last night is the only time I've seen her since I brought her home. I'm hoping to get to know her a little better. I generally name all of my crabs after characters in water related movies or shows so if you have any good suggestions please let me know!

thanks Kelly! I actually ended up naming my new girl Madison after Daryl Hannah's character Image

New tiny has a name! Since she's so small and squirt is already taken, I've decided on Thumbelina Image not exactly a water movie but I guess I can break my own rule right? Lol.
