    Re: My first vivarium

    Some pics of my crabs... Couldnt snap any clearer pics because they are hiding well... The crab hiding near the driftwood is the one I have been mentioning earlier.. Its totally brownish with brownish/red claws.. Not sure if its a inferior red devil or another variant... If its not a red devil... I have 3 different variants in my tank..which isnt good news to me..

    Its hard to tell the colour of the crab in the 3rd pic. Maybe you can take another pic of it when you have the chance. Different variants is ok I think as long as they are healthy.

    Re: My first vivarium

    Well, the only issue I have now is aggression between different variants and the possibility of not interbreeding :c

    Ps: tried to sneak up close but crabs always get away

    Re: My first vivarium

    Quick update.. trying dsm for my mini fissidens on some lava rocks and driftwood.. not looking too good though.. some fissidens turned brown.. No further casualties yet. Most vamps have successfully molted. Monitoring my unmolted 2 purp vamps now. Most of my plants are dying, except for the java fern. Not sure if the plants are in submerged form. I managed to snap some clear pics of the female vamps i spoke of earlier in the thread. Will post the pics later at night. Ciao

    Re: My first vivarium

    Looking forward to seeing the pics tonight. Have you tried using money plants?
    Went to seaview this morning but no vampires in stock.

    I believe all lfs get their vamps from the same supplier.. all out of stock..haha.. money plants? Definitely not. I think i must be doing something wrong...to cause the deaths of my plants. lol

    Just take note that some picky vamps do feed on plants. I had them clean out a sheet of unknown moss overnight that I had dug.

    Re: My first vivarium

    Yeah I noticed some vamps feeding on dying plants. I feed them hikari cruisine pellets on alternate days. Hadnt got time to upload the pics ytd.. will definitely do so tonight.. the vamp looks like a hybrid to me. After molting, the 1 claw was brownish red, the other slight purple.. lol

    Thanks for sharing. Pic 1-5 seem like vamps still in juv stage so their colours may not be fully developed yet.
