    i think i will get to you before everyone else do;D

    Rule 1 never catch fish from the wild, you open up you tank to a world of trouble from disease to persists. But some may disagree and say QT and treat/dip it for a few week

    it up to you ;)

    Don't take my Gobies!! Just kidding man, I'm from Jupiter too. If you are getting your Hermits, make sure to get the ones with blue legs and not the white ones which are abundant around here. The snails I caught kept crawling out of my aquarium cause I got them off of rocks so they aren't used to being constantly underwater since they are in the tidal zone. Much easier to buy those.

    How do you catch them? Do you have some type of trap?
