I am so proud of Pig :P

Post by Tim »

I went out to buy some microcrabs and get more snails and came home to this :D

I am so proud of him. He tried looking innocent when I came to the tank but his fat belly betrayed him.

Tomorrow he also gets to try out these:

They are called Micro Crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri). It's a false spider crab that is fully aquatic and lives in freshwater.

I think their body stays sub 1cm. They are very small. When I put on on my tongs and tried feeding it to Pig he got pinched in the nose :lol: and ignored them for some time, but right now he is enthausiastically trying to dig out an anubias nana because a crab is hiding in there :P. Might have to get another tank sometime to breed them.

Empty shells should work to some extent.
