RAST Big Fish Posts: 437 Kudos: 162 Votes: 236 Registered: 07-Feb-2002	Thanks for that. It is an interesting page and has told me straight away that I can't have one. THe temp around here is usually above 18 degrees so they would not survive too well. Oh well and also they are prefered to be in the tank by themselves.

They are cool animals, if you get one check out their info.

They have grown back now, but she is still missing the tips of toes on 3 feet.

He was going to go to Melbourne, but I couldn't arrange a courier over summer, so he is still with me.
