Really a fun species to keep, cant wait to start seeding my frog/gecko terrariums once ihave enough ! Thanks a lot 🙂 What kind of frogs and geckos do you keep? I've been interested in thumbnail dart frogs and African fat tailed geckos. Quote Link to comment

If you're interested in isopods for their own sake, I highly recommend giant canyon isopods. They get to be around an inch long when fully grown and I found them hilariously entertaining. Still hope to set up a small viv just for them sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheRope Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Duncans are too fussyy , move the flow slightly to the left and they close up for 5 days and counting. Every other coral i can scrape and move over and they dont even react...maybe ill remove the duncans and put something else there 2 Quote Link to comment
Muffin Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Perfect spot for some mushrooms lol Quote Link to comment

JBM Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I feel you, I accidentally used to much force to feed two of my acan colonies a week ago (i use a baby medicine dispenser, much like a mini turkey baster) both colonies are still pissy a week later. But the maxima clam i just put in yesterday is chillin and happy 2 Quote Link to comment
