I got CRABS....

[geopod]

Huge ones. The size of 2 loonies side by side.I took a flashlight to check up on my shark egg and I see these little red eyes peeking at me and the little bugger closed them in hopes to not being noticed.Well he aint looking that way now.I cought him and a few of his buddies that were toonie size he is the ring leader in my books.The buggers.I still cant post it but look in my gallery and see the bugger and help me ID him and whether they are safe or not.

Thanks

I got bunch of those in my tanks and I never run out of crabs, hell every other month I think I would catch one or two crabs..

Goerge,

How did you catch them? They're fast :evil:

[AndyL]

Too bad they met such a nice end...

We have more than a few mantis owners on the board who'd probably love to get their hands on such delicacies :mrgreen:

I will keep you in mind Andy if I find more of them.I didnt know what to do with them last night so I froze them.But I will keep you in mind.

Bev,

Yes they were fast but I had a stick some BrBQ skuewers and chased them out of a rock and finally cought them.Took awhile but did it.I set traps before but never cought them.Now I see why as to the size of them.
