Lies! We found ourselves what can only be described as a tank. A large green, fighting machine. An emerald crab whom we named Popeye. I think its very appropriate as Popeye is a herbivore. He has HUGE pinchers that are perfect for flower picking. I am hoping that this guys can keep the grass nicely trimmed in the tank while providing us with another interesting crustacean to watch.
In addition to Popeye, we got ourselves some snails. I usually stay away from these guys - if you saw me with my freshwater tank you would have learnt that much of me. However these guys are good and wont procreate like rabbits in the tank. They do a very good job by shifting bucket loads of the substrate. I would have uploaded a picture of these guys, but they burrowed into the sand within seconds of being introduced to the tank. They are called Nasser snails and the only thing you see of them is what is best described as a periscope. They will occasionally come out of hiding and when they do, I hope to get a pic of them for the blog.
Oh, did I mention that I got some water too?
