gritchie4 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Verizon ftw lol. Man today has sucked. I had to take an online test for class, work on 2 discussion questions for my online classes, and now im working on 2 essays that are due thursday. I also have a test on wednesday and another essay due next weekend. I hate school. I cant wait till its all over. I wanted to get a new FTS but i literally had no time. I fed my sexies some shrimp pellets and mysis today and they seemed to love the pellets. I also had to save a nassarius snail from a hermit crab during feeding. He started to flip the snail over so i flicked him out of the way. Now its time to work on the ssays again and get of n-r. Link to comment

My tank is at a standstill cause im broke and im kind of out of room lol. plus I think I might be moving to vegas sooner than I was expecting. Thanks man. Dont worry im broke too. And Vegas baby. Let me know if you do end up moving, i'll tell you where not to move lol. Also we got the lamp for the TV in and its fixed. Thankfully i dont have to buy a new tv. Also i had to rescue my nassarius this morning from my grab. I fed the sexies and as always the nassarius snails came out and decided to crawl up the glass. Well when he got to the top i guess he wanted a fast way down so he just fell onto his back. Well it happened to fall right in front of the hermit and the crab started to grab it. So i took out the turkey baster and had a tug-o-war with the crab lol. The turkey baster won and the nassaruis a headed back into the sand. Link to comment

gritchie4 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Frozen mysis? Yea. What i do is thaw a cube and put it in thin layers in different cups and freeze it again and then when i need to use it i thaw a chunk at a time in tank water and pick out pieces with a tweezer. Link to comment

Hmmm...good idea. Gonna try to pick up some of these soon, maybe some cyclop-eeze too! Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 yea otherwise you have to keep thawing out the cube and it takes forever to do that. Plus you dont waste as much. Link to comment
