Lol!

Any other shrimp/crabs you suggest to buy first? Lightfoot, peppermint, cleaner emerald. Are there any other types of options?

[KAhner]

Those all sound great. I already said it but I highly recommend nassarius snails. They'll eat anything left over quick. They'd probably eat a dead fish before you even knew it died. I've seen two smash a krill in a couple minutes. It's surprising how much they can eat.

I definitly will, although at the 1 lfs they were 2$ per. Maybe the other one will be cheaper! If so, get 3?

Stingray-

Youll be happy to know that we got the inverts thursday, and i ended up dominating in ping pong friday. Win-Win baby!

[needmorecowbell]

[Nu-Nu the eel]

[needmorecowbell]

Lol i might save up for a really nice camera. Wish I had one already.

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Haha my sister is really good at taking pictures, so she has a uber nice camera! Lol. She hates fish though so ahe wont take pictures of mine for me..

[needmorecowbell]

Lol my dad has one but it takes film. It takes some great pics though. The ones with removable apertures are like 500$ plus the macro aperture is like 300$

[Gboy66]

On our way to the lfs..pics of what we buy soon to come

[Gboy66]

Bought a pepermint shrimp shrimp, what food should i buy for him?

[Gboy66]

Also, they guy was really pushing for us to buy a fish. I didnt want to and bought the shrimp instead. Was this wrong?? Should we have gotten a fish??

Also, do sally lightfoot crabs eat snails? We have big snails (turbans?) and i dont think a crab could

No you did the right thing. You may have been able to get away with one but it was better to get the shrimp. I've got a Lightfoot crab and he is my most favorite of all. He is jumpy during feeding time which I find funny lol But he won't hurt anything in your tank.

Okay cool! It was very wierd because the guy was pretty much telling us we needed a fish first an that we were skipping a step. They had some sally lightfoot crabs, but we decided to ask on here before buying one because he said it would eat crabs..... I really want one though! They are very cool!
