Last night, right before lights out, I noticed my randals pistol shrimp toing some building. He was carrying rubble rock twice his size across the tank and stacking them aroun the entrance to one of his tunnels. So, I turned my timmer off so the lights would stay on and I can watch. He ended up building a tunnel made of the rubble that lead into his tunnel in the sand. It was awsome. I never seen that much activity from him. Usually he just peeks out his hole every now and the.

Pistols are amazing, yours sounds like a serious builder! My little guy steals empty shells to make doors and walls for his tunnels, and I've seen him hunt through the sand for larger shell bits. Every once in a while he gets over-enthusiastic and picks up an inhabited shell - I wonder if he's confused when his construction materials get up and walk away!

HA, yeah mine was at it again last night. After three months of me hardly seeing him, he sure is bussy. He makes me so proud.
