I bought a few fish from the shop you were referring to and they obviously had a bad shipment that week, one tank had white spot but my bf took two of the fish regardless, which I nursed to health with the help of my herbitana care of Perky P who luckily had stock. The other tank we purchased...

My Mantis are gay :( no offense to the gay members, but they love peace and seem to "share" with the crabs?! Everytime I feed I just see pinchers coming out from all over the place!! They are EVERYWHERE, even a gorilla crab, which is smaller than the mantis has taken his home in the rock next to...

Since the move they don't come out, I only hear them. Diablo has every possible hole in his rock blocked up with pebbles. I managed to get a glimpse of Mufasa's legs in the one rock. And I haven't seen or heard from the one that I anticipate might be a pistol but won't let me see him, and I...

You seriously need to come and get some Fiji LR here in my hood. I will meet you there. I always get wierd crabs and Mantis Shrimps. "He who is not to be named" will second that one! I wish I could give you all of my crabs! I have another variety too, I showed 459B a pic of one of them and...

Hee Hee.... I am watching the little blue crab creeping inside the rock right now actually. He doesn't like me spying on him... As for the Mantis you know I have more than my share, just a pity they are so small and anti-social right now.... I am gonna head out for a new light source this...

It was great meetin you the other day! As soon as Cell C gives me my bandwidth for the month I will, bEen waiting 4 days for them to sort it out! Can't upload from my bb! At my place its easy to have a weekend long function. My man chose the house, and all the furniture so its a guys paradise...

How's the Mantis Mansion coming along? Any new pics?

Madness tank has been upgraded for now. I wait for B to fall asleep and took out the 1m emergancy tank and set it up on my dresser then transferred the current tank over and topped up with water from the main tank, as well as 20 % water from the aquarium. But now they are so anti-social... I...

I was there yesterday there is still a fair amount left. Good looking healthy LR. One has an awsome pink anenome on it. I like the fact that the rock gets weighed. Awsome store, prices are good and they have all the basic requirements.

Its so long? I'm gonna end up blind if I try to read this on my tiny BB screen.... Anybody wanna perhaps give us the focal points and suggested solutions to encourage more bacteria growth in our tanks :) Pretty Please...

I agree!! Pics please! My poor nano is so stuffed with LR,I don't have any space to create a "display" I don't think I need a filter anymore! Your experiment should be very successful. * Pics * Pics * Pics *

I will stay away from the crab jokes cause I am a lady - or at least like to try :) As for the LR crabs, I use a plastic pipe and try to force them out. I find that when I buy LR and it has stones jammed in the holes, after I use a wooden skewer to pick the rocks out, the crabs reveal them...

The Herbetana is the best! My man bought a clown fish with white spot, used it and kept thetreatment going for the full 10 days and my fish have never looked better! Prevention is better than cure. With the Herbetana you can use it as a preventative measure.

So I am told, but so far they live in peace? The two I interact with usually just peep out of their holes and they can see each other, but don't fuss with each other. Most o the times they just baracade their doorways with rocks. I really wish they would eat the hitch-hiker crabs. I have so...

Yee haa! Good to see you are getting back on track! Can't wait to see the pics! I SO badly wanna have a propper Mantis tank!! I went to Perky today. I must be honest, I am happy with my local LFS. You should come take a look, if you haven't already. The hitch-hiker crabs are a problem though...

They are only 3cm. I have two that I interact with. There is one that I have only seen inside a deep hole, wondering if he is perhaps a pistol. The other I have never seen, I can't even work out which rock he is in. Lucky for him I get really bad migranes and with this heat I seem to suffer...

The Oxygen could be a factor... We did switch the pump off for about 4 hours during the night? It rattles and we couldnt sleep. Hopefully this temporary setup will be taken down and a better solution will replace it this weekend... Nothing smells funny, the water doesnt have a wierd rotting...

The metal cover over the light is starting to rust, I havent found a replacement yet, I wipe it off before it can drip into the tank, if a drop of water containg particles of rust, falls into the tank is that very dangerous? Its another major concern I have with that tank...

Salinity on the measure jug now says 1.023-1.024. But thats what you get for R60.... Could have been a bubble or maybe I measured too soon after adding the last glass of R/O.

I dont have any fish in the tank, I do have 3 Mantis shrimp and a few tiny hitchiker crabs... It was a very quick set up due to the discovery of the Mantis... I would normally adjust the salinity over a 24 hour period, I only added 2L of R/O water over the 2 hour period, but on my cheap little...
