PR-REEFER Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I have a 29 gallon reef aquarium. Is this a Nano? Well I like this forum anyway. I have a yellow mushroom leather that on one side has turned brown on the edges. Is this a problem? After returning from a two week vacation I noticed that my large astrea snail was walking like a red hermit crab. Did the hermit kill the snail then move in? Also a blue legged crab moved into the old shell of the red hermit is this normal? Link to comment
newbiefishgirl Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 HAH I am not laughing at you , but thinking about my own experience. Those blue legged hermits are really lil devils. One of my snails came off the glass and the hermit crab just attacked the poor lil guy and ate him. I would not doubt that your hermit did not kill the snail and then take his shell. All this moving around and murder in your tank is normal.... its called survial of the fittest! As far as your coral question I have not gotten that far in my own tank. I don't have any corals yet.... and no I dont believe you have a true "nano" tank. Usually 10 gal or smaller. Does mean you can't be here asking questions tho. WELCOME Hope I was a lil bit of help -Rebecca Link to comment

Crakeur Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 well, Rebecca sounds like an older (read not a kid) woman and Becky sounds more like a highschooler. I dated a becky back in college so I'm not complaining, just saying our little girl is all grown up. how short are ya? Link to comment

Angel Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Welcome to NR! Yes, a 29 is considered a nano, just depends on who you ask. Some still consider anything less than a 55 one. I am not sure about your mushroom. Have you tested your water parameters yet? Post your specks and hopefully someone will be able to help you further with your shroom. The hermit crab is unfortunately a normal thing. You can try to curb this a bit by throwing in some extra shells for them to play "dress up in" (as my four year old calls it). Occasionally though, you will get a rogue that will kill no matter what. Good Luck! Angel Link to comment
Crakeur Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Originally posted by Angel Post your specks I've heard them called lots of things but specks is a new one. mean as hell too. (sorry angel, I couldn't resist) Link to comment
Angel Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Your the one who said you had a small package, thought that included the two kernels (pun intended). Link to comment
NanoJunkee Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I'm glad to see others here with sick humor... Crakeur is just spreading hate and discontent because he's bitter over his lilliputian junk! Anywho...I am personally confused by different sellers referring to their snails by different names. For example, saltwaterfish.com has snails listed as "turbo/astrea" and "mexican/trochus" I was under the impression that these were four different types of snails! Link to comment
Crakeur Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 saltwaterfish.com sells astreas that are turbos. and I'll have you know that my junk ain't lilliputian, it's just vertically challenged thank you very much. for the record, if you can't make fun of your size, you clearly have an issue with it. so, can we please get off my nano (ladies can stay) and move back to Becky's specks?

newbiefishgirl Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 uhh, I dont know we need to know my specks now do we? As I read it Angel was asking PR-REEFER about his/her specs lol Link to comment

Crakeur Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I am a professional stalker. I watch the internet for strange behavior and potentially dangerous activity. Oh, no, wait, that's what the guy who stopped by this morning told me he was watching me for. I'm a professional clown. Unfortunately, there isn't a circus in town so I am currently lounging around the house in my big red shoes and my big red nose, ####ing off the wife. Link to comment
