4-12-06 I have crabs... and snails... and a shrimp.
Last night I took a big step and actually put living creatures into my tank. (Not counting hitchhikers mind you.)
I bought:
- 2 Nassarius Snails
- 3 Cerith Snails
- 2 Turbo Snails
- 2 Blue legged hermit
- 1 Emerald Crab
- 1 Peppermint Shrimp
I acclimate them all and added them last night. The hermits got right to the algae, the snails began their feast, but the shrimp
and crab hid instantly. After the lights turned off I went back with my red lensed flashligh and the emerald crab was climbing
around chowing down and the shrimp was out wandering between several rocks. How fun to watch them all!
This morning everyone was still accounted for and looked to be doing well.
From this point I plan on wait, wait, waiting to make make sure everything statys stable and things keeps going well. Maybe next
paycheck I'll add my first coral. Oh Joy
But we will see how things go until then.
Sorry no pictures.
