    Identification??

    I have gotten that it is a convict quite a bit and my manager says it is too but I agree the shape of the head is weird and it is quite large. We normally get convicts that are around 3 inches and this guy is well over 7. •30 gallon community-10 gallon hermit crab-5 gallon betta WIP-30 gallon...

    10 gallon tank

    I've got a 29 gallon community with 6 ghost shrimp and a large Apple snail. I also have 4 celebese rainbow, 7 zebra danios, and an almost full grown albino bristlenose. I have not noticed them harming any of their tank mates in the 7 months I've had them. The shrimp tend to be on the more...

    Land Hermit Crabs

    So *update* I got them a day time and nighttime light today & some natural sea salt with no iodine in it. I'm going to mix up a home made solution from the real salt instead of the other "pre made" solution. I just set the day time light up and one of my babies is already out of her she'll...

    Land Hermit Crabs

    I have noticed the temp drops at night to 73-ish degrees and they are starting to slow down and loose their color a bit again dispute my efforts. I think today I may purchase either a small heating light or a under the tank heating pad for them because that is the only thing I can think that...

    Land Hermit Crabs

    I have read they like the temp around 75-80 and that's what my thermometer reads. I live in Arizona so my room is 80 almost all the time, it's terrible hot haha! Maybe they would appreciate it hotter though? •30 gallon community-10 gallon hermit crab-5 gallon betta WIP-30 gallon bearded...

    Land Hermit Crabs

    Wow, that hermit crab sounds gorgeous! I have read that they need calcium to help with the molting process, should i feed them high calcium foods instead? Or is extra calcium not needed? Thank you so much, I've been trying my best to make them happy & healthy since they've been put through so...

    Land Hermit Crabs

    Thank you guys so much for the responses! I will soak them both today & yes I do dechlorinate the water I get from my RO system before I give it to them. She gave me a salt water mixture, I do not have it with me at the moment so I am unsure of what it is called. I am aware though that they...

    Help with 5 gallon?

    This is all the info on my tank. I have read they are picky eaters but I am willing to give it a try. I have a couple snails that have mated many times so once I see eggs I am going to raise some baby snails for it and then I can order brine shrimp and such online. I will just have to find the...

    Help with 5 gallon?

    Your puffer does great in a 5 gallon? That's great news! I was starting to get disappointed because a puffer is what I would really like. Hearing this, my tank would be too deep for a frog probably and I can definitely keep up with water changes, my 22 gal requires them frequently due to my...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    I've got 7 danios right now so I might slowly add two more, and I was thinking about an albino bristlenose because I have efficient filtration now! I've researched them thoroughly and I think I could care for one just fine in my 22 gallon :) Of course, I wouldn't add them all together, it would...
