Theresa_M        Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004    | This first pic is the original setup in a 6g. The crabs have gotten very popular here, especially with the spouse so I decided to switch to a larger tank. Theresa_M attached this image:  ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

| Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004 | And here is what I've been doing this morning. The piece of driftwood on the bottom is new. I want to have just java fern in the tank. I need to get an extension for the filter intake and then I can lower the water level a bit more. The tank will start off with 4 fiddlers and 2 bumblebee gobies. I've learned that the crabs really won't bother fish; I've had them with both mollies and the bees without any problems at all.

It floats... I don't know much about paludariums, but I think that's what it is. *shrugs*I like... very nifty tank!  ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~ |

The java ferns could act as foreground plants for now till they grow in some more... ^_^ [hr width='40%'] It only hurts when I breathe" |
