Anywhere between a third and halfway up should be fine for fiddler crabs, but the more the better so I'd lean towards filling it halfway up on one side like you mentioned :thumb:

I had a panther crab once that got all its legs and both claws torn from its body. Stood over it when it was preparing to moult (was actually about to shed its exoskeleton I found out recently) with an exacto-knife in one hand and a pair of tweezers in the other. Poked it a couple times with the...

I'm culturing live black worms in a 10 gal tank with 2-3 inches of water and a small (smallest size available) sponge filter. I try to feed them every week with the mulm on the bottom of my guppy tank, and the filter is there to filter the water and provide aeration. Like any aquatic animal...

Bpophoto, Great point! Although I was going to keep the moss on shelves and not necessarily rotate them out on rocks, I think it would be easier to try to grow the algae in the tank itself. What would happen if I wasn't able to rotate the rocks, or if hair algae was growing on the rocks and the...

Looks attractive, and I love the idea of trying to make it look bigger than it is. Do you know what your parameters are? Ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, etc?

Hey fallows, welcome to the forum! What kinds of plants do you have in the water portion of the tank? Is it just the java moss and bacopa, or do you have other plants in it as well?

I want to have algae for these shrimps to graze on every once in a while and was wondering the best way to go about doing this (purchasing 'algae wafers' is out of the question with how I'm doing things). I have a couple options as far as I can see: (1) put rock within water in sunny place, rock...

Looking forward to following this build! When we both get our respective shrimp colonies breeding I'll trade you for some blue diamond if you'd be interested

That's the story of my threads as well lol. If you read my Panther Crab Breeding Project thread there was actually a point in time where I was depressed about it and was considering not keeping it up to date anymore, but thankfully y'all came through and helped. :thanks:

I AM SERIOUSLY ON CLOUD NINE RIGHT NOW!! :D Just found out about a research project in my Invert Zoology class lab, and it's something I can do with my panther crabs. And the best thing? Yep, there's something better than being able to accomplish one of my biggest dreams. I MAY GET REIMBURSED...

Caridina dennerli (Sulawesi Cardinal Shrimp) Submitted by GreenGo Synonyms: Caridina sp. “Cardinal” Common Names: Sulawesi Cardinal Shrimp, Cardinal Shrimp, Sulawesi Cardinal, Wine Red Cardinal, Light Red Cardinal Category: Shrimp Family: Atyidae Origin: Sulawesi Main Ecosystem: Rocky...

+1 I don't know why things like this happens, but it can be confusing and a bit annoying when you're trying to find a specific species (I'm encountering the same thing with trying to distinguish between the white and orange arm borneo crabs, which are supposedly from the same genus, but I can...

This thread is intended to be a discussion with the community about some of the problems and potential solutions we can implement through our fish clubs and potentially grassroots movements (among other outlets) to help our planet's ecosystems that our tank inhabitants come from. Discussion...

Just had an idea, but not too sure about it. Why not create a new thread dedicated to talking about these issues and how we can help solve them, whether through grassroots movements or fish clubs, etc. Not too sure if it'd relate directly back to the hobby enough though to ensure it doesn't...

I emailed the fish and wildlife service and they provided me the info. I've looked into importing the panther crabs I am doing a breeding project on, but the cost to import is too high for my current situation so I'm going to purchase them from a middle man until I start making enough as a...
