Well here is kinda the situation.. We have an emerald crab in the tank (Timm--ay) cause he is handicaped only 2 legs on his left side. Any chance those will grow back? Anyway I went to put in a new emerald crab on Thurs night and it was a disaster.. He just never quite seemed right ya know.. Timm--ay is super cool I put him on a rock he backed up 2 steps stuck his claw out and started eating and he is the coolest thing in my tank (Its just him and a dozen snails).. Well Oscar (who died today) just never quite made the adjustment.. It may have been my fault.. when I was putting him in he pinched me and instinct has it I opened my hand and he fell to the sand almost 14 inches..when he got there he kinda moved back 2 steps under this algae covered rock and looked at me .. I felt bad but at that point what was I to do.. Well he haden't moved in 2 solid days not even put a claw out since and his little mouth had stopped moving and all... I am a total newb so my real question is they are not like boxfish right..they will not put any toxins in the water that will harm Timm--ay will he.. I mean I called the pull out when Timm-ay was standing on him eating the algae and there was no movement.. he was dead ...Ok just in case you haven't read a post from me before yes the tank is cycled and the water tests are all where they are supposed to be I just dont' have fish cause the QT tank just went up last night and the filter is sitting in my Show tank hopefully getting some bacteria on it for a fish after christmas..
