These will easily out grow a tomato jar, especially the emerald crab. Maybe a dwarf cerith would be alright. Sexy shrimp stay small but I don't...
Ok. I was confused as well. Thats what I thought just going by the pictures but then I wasn't sure how Matt could have left off Koralia, thats the...
I don't have very many corals so his choices were limited. At the time it was basically GSP, xenia, or mushrooms. He devoured the GSP and left...
How big of a tank were you looking for? Rubbermaid makes up to 300 gal plastic tanks, which can be found fairly easily. Or was there a particular...
That is an insanely good picture. She is very pretty too!
Good point on the heater. They are known to whack the red light some heaters have. Titanium heaters are also on the market and no mantis is ever...
Wow thats a good price! My LFS has them about that size for $50.
I had a gold spotted rabbit fish that simply destroyed GHA. Fish was a beast at eating it... unfortunately when the GHA was gone he developed a...

No problem. I am sure you will be happy to hear G. smithii (purple spot mantis) are very resistant to shell disease. :)
While this is true for most species of mantis shrimp, O. scyllarus are prone to shell disease and clean water goes a long way in health. Also...
29g biocubes make excellent peacock tanks.
Acrylic. Sure you can probably get away with glass but is it really worth the risk when you consider all the wasted money and hassle? 25 gal is the...
I don't avoid them because I have heard they are nitrate factories, I don't use them because they require extra cleaning. My Berlin system handles my...
