Hey, you are all buying up the dwarf crabs and now I have to wait for them to restock ;-) No problem, I plan to let my new 10-gallon sit for at least a week so that algae and biofilm can develop. Yes, I waited at least a week till John could ship the crabs out. He told me there has been a sudden sp...

I received my hermit crabs today. They are the cutest. I stuck one in my 1/2 gallon tank. I stuck four in my five gallon tank. The ones in the big tank have hide themselves but the one in the small tank I can always find. You can check him out on my live shrimp cam. The camera seems to only be worki...

Pealow i also cannot see BostonJill's webcam. Good luck on you rum buddies. Ken Since I updated the software on the IPCamera app it doesn't seem to work on mobile devices like iPads anymore. It will work fine on laptops and desktops. Remember the cam is off at night and turned on in the morning. So...

I have a 12 with some snails in about a half gallon jar on my nightstand.

They are doing very well.

Nice picture! Are they going for the nerite shells? I thought the crab was in a nice shell but not sure if that was one of the new nerite shells. I still haven't gotten my little guys yet. I hope they don't freeze to death with this weather.

My 5 gallon tank has white sand which is now dirty-ish after a year and a half. My little half gallon tank has black sand and that still looks nice after about six months. Maybe a mix of sand would look nice I never thought about doing that. Let us know what you decide.

I always loved the Red Nerita Shells. The ones with the zigzag's down the middle. Great thinking Harry! I just ordered a dozen. Are you going to boil them and make sure there's no dead tissue left before placing them in the water? Because our tanks are so small I always worry about stuff like that c...

I've had my two tanks (jars) for 15 months and they are doing well. I just found a huge cookie jar with very clear non-distorting glass. Target had it and it is called the Montana jar. It looks to have a three-gallon capacity. I realized that I am unsure as to the capacity of tanks with respect to ...

Harry the more you talk about them the more i want them. The size seems perfect. Do they crawl all over or do they stay on the substrate? Hawaii Dwarf Hairy Leg Hermit Crab, that name is a mouthful. Thankyou Bostonjill. Are you getting any? Like to see them on your shrimp cam. Ken Yes, I ordered fi...

Harry do you know the specie name? My local fish store sells hermit crabs for the salt water people. An inch or less in size. They seem larger than the ones you got. What is their life span? You could pm me with the vendor info. The crab they sell is called Hawaii Dwarf Hairy Leg Hermit Crab. I won...

I ordered a few more dwarf hermit crabs, as they are so tiny. I only bought one per tank, as I was not sure of the size. Having seen how small they are, I ordered some more. They live in small shells, the size of the Maylasian trumpet snail or the small snails that Mustafa sells - and not the full ...

Very cool! He must have to add water often do to evaporation since he can't put a top on the bowl. I wonder where he got the volcano rock and Mangrove plant?

Cool! Because there's no scale perspective you wouldn't know they were just a half inch long. Good job!

I'm glad you can see it on your computer. I'm not sure why it's not working on your ipad.
When I first tried it on my ipad I was at a Starbucks and it didn't work but when I got home it worked on my own wifi.
