    Dear all

    Bought a regal tank (2 inch) and a box fish (1cm) last week and both are missing!!! There are no bodies to be found even if they are dead. Has anyone experienced such incident ?

    jumped out and bodies stuck in some crevises, under the furniture, or simply carried away by lizards?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    If you have a hermit crab, likely is your hermit crab finished it within a day.

    yah, you'd be amazed how fast those shrimps and crabs can finish off a carcass, bones and all!
