	Pick a crab, any crab!

Crabs are crabby-looking, while bettas just look magnificent. Bettas are more worth the time, and are probably less needy. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

But a 2.5 is too small for any kind of crab, i would go for shrimp. But definintly planted (heavily preferable). Good Luck [span class="edited"][Edited by 2004-09-08 18:59][/span]
