He then got discouraged and let it go down. It was in my den. I was so glad when we started remodeling our den a few weeks ago, because he took it outside. I haven't let him bring it back in! lol |
Well if you have fish, you have to have a cleaning crew, snails, shrimp etc. And if you have a cleaning crew, you must have fish for them to be able to feed. Was he only keeping one or the other? I was told the cleaning crew must go in first, as they are hardier, then the fish a month later. Sadly for my crabs they did not make it.
