I got a clean up crew delivered today and everything arrived alive and doing well.
Order included:
30 astrea snails
5 emerald crabs
1 snapping shrimp
It was separated into 5 bags
25 snails, 5 snails, 4 emerald crabs, 1 red crab, 1 snapping shrimp.
Assuming the red crab was a substitute and I’m fine with that. While acclimating I noticed one of the snails was moving like a hermit. It was but I counted the snail shells and there were a couple extras so free hermit crab!
I was a little skeptical when I saw how tiny the snapping shrimp was wondering how I would ever see it in the 30 gallon tank. It was less than 3/4”. I acclimated it in a solo cup and then once ready to introduce used a small container to set it down in the area I wanted it to reside. Within 10 minutes that tiny shrimp started scooping sand and burrowing under the rock right where I put him. I am super impressed with his bulldozing skills and could watch him all day. He’ll grow up soon but his size makes his actions so much cuter.
Thank you Live Aquaria! I know you don’t get enough good things being said about you but I’ve been impressed with the quality I’ve been getting. Keep it up! I have several tanks and more stocking to do. I’ll continue shopping with you as my preferred livestock vendor.
