Journal Cplus's Journal: New tank-mate - Cornelius
Gung-Ho has a new homey, a Sri-Lankan Red-Claw crab. Not my idea, but now that I've gotten rid of all of the guppies in the tank I listened to the gf when she asked if she could have him. Funny thing is that he's so afraid that the puffer will eat him that he doesn't come out at all.
Gung-Ho is eating very well, continuing to prefer the blood-worms over the shrimp. When I was at the fish store I asked the guy to toss a couple of snails in with the crab. He gave me two that are bigger than the puffer, probably should have specified that I wanted something for him to sharpen his teeth on.
In other news, two new tanks. One is just a little five gallon, will probably just use it as my sick tank or quarantine with snails and Java Moss growing in it most of the time. The other tank is huge, pretty much dominates my living room, easily as big as the piano. Four and a half feet long and 225 litres. It's sitting there empty for the moment, waiting until I have the time and funds to get the rest of the equipment needed.
Have been making a plan for a 20 gal sump for the big tank, to increase water colume and to have as a plant refuge. Will be very nice, dual chambered, from chamber will be hydroponic (aquaponic) and back chamber will be traditional wet/dry trickle filter. Can't wait to get started on it, but for now I think I'll go build the little crab a cave.
