How can you tell if one will turn red? Im sure you would be the best person to ask since you have the redest Congo puffers that I have ever seen.

It's not even the slightest brown, never mind orange.

All puffers can jump. I've lost 3 puffers to jumping - even though their tanks had covers. :-(

well the tank is almost cycled i do believe.

I was looking for my crab this am and couldnt find him anywhere in the tank. After searching around I found him in the kitchen sink haha, still alive so I scooped him up and tossed him back in the tank.

Yes I know I need a top but cant afford one atm

When I went and got one it was damaged, so I asked if they could lower the price because of it. With no problem they did that.

I had a crab crawl out of my feeder tank but did not save him in time. Found him on the floor right in front of the back door. I think he was trying get out of the house..lol. I was at the hospital with my wife and I was there about a day before coming home. So without water one day, he died. He was a red clawed crab.
