Re: Fiddler crab molting?

From what I know its normal. Next time leave the left over shell in there so he can eat it, thats how they build back the calcium they loose while molting. I think your doing great job just try not to over feed the little guy or his water will go bad. p.s.make sure he has a way to dry land.

Re: Walmart is so effing DUMB!!!

The providers should also be held accountable! But they also dont care because they are making money, and they are the one's catching them in the wild. Because we all know gsp are are not tank bread.
