"It takes 9-12 years for a Horseshoe Crab to reach maturity, so all the Horseshoe Crabs you see on the beach are at least 9 years old and have a life span of 16- 40 years. The Crabs grow by molting or shedding and emerge 25 % larger with each molt. Molting occurs several time during the first...

My foxface photobombs every shot I take. If I even come near the tank, he's all up in my face.

Actually as juveniles, they are partly open water swimmers. Horseshoe crabs are capable of swimming just as it looks in the video to get away from predators, or change locations in their search for food. They swim upside down and move with the currents. In aquariums, there is significantly less...

Normal for juveniles. :)

+1. My frogspawn hugs a big colony of palys, never seen sweepers or had anything get stung.

I just stick the top part of a soda bottle over my colony and squirt some food in there. Whatever they can catch, they eat. Whatever they don't, the other animals get.

Also look into why your clown died in the first place. They're generally pretty tough fish as well. The Damsel's heavy breathing may be related to the ammonia, or it could be suffering from the same thing that killed your clown.

Mandarin police.... :P

Cherub Angels are adorable. Tiny though. 3" max.

Purple Stripe Dottyback i assume that's what you have. also basslet =/= dottyback. basslets aren't usually as big of assholes as dottybacks :P Edit: had* i suppose would be more accurate...

As adults, yeah. It's my understanding though that they're fine in home aquariums as babies with regular feeding. Once they start to grow and get large, it's time to rehome them. Operative words here are with regular feeding. The same as starfish that will quickly clear out your sandbed, have...

Like I said, they will get big but they take forever to grow, and they don't get as big as you see them in the ocean. Takes 8-10 years for a horseshoe to even reach adulthood, let alone attaining a maximum size of a foot across in the wild for the largest females. They grow significantly slower...

They don't usually get very big in captivity. It will outgrow a 55, but they're not very fast growers either.

Horseshoe crabs are like other sand sifting inverts, in a 55g he will clean out your sandbed of everything and then starve to death without supplemental feeding of meaty foods. We have one too though, they're neat. Only mine is dumber than a box of rocks and gets stuck on the powerhead.... It's...

I think they make like felt-tip pens that write in lighter colors. You should try one of those if you havent already.

I think he's trying to say less shadow on the face. I could be wrong.

#2. I don't prefer any of the black and white ones. makes him look old.

Looks more like a blurfish to me... >_>

Haha I guess. There's a lot of weird superstitions about Arowanas. "As per the feng shui belief Arowanas are believed to possess capabilities to distinguish between an enemy and a well-wisher. It is believed that if the arowana in the aquarium shows aggression toward the visitor to house, he...

They definitely climb glass!
