What Do Cukes eat?

Will a Cuke eat diatoms/cyano/green algae/ and detrius?

Also, will crabs disturb it?

Crabs Are Evil

Hello, I have one and he just cleans the very top layer of my sand bed. My crabs leave it a lone, but I do have a 120 gal tank.

Wit, when you say crabs are evil, what are you trying to say?

Each time a snail comes up missing from its shell, all my crabs say it was due to natural causes.

Hey Mark, I thought you had 3, did you get rid of 2 of them? Are you still willing to sell me one?

mwrager · 11-20-2003, 08:53 PM

i did have 3. I have not seen the other 2 for about a week. So I may have 3 but I see only one of them every day. Fidojoe if I fine the 2 or 3rd one I will give it to you free.
