 |  Hermit Shells
Any idea where I can get shells for my hermits? I have noticed that 2 of them have left their shells and died trying to find new bigger ones. I want to try and provide them with bigger shells before they decide to kill my turbos in envy!
Can I get them anywhere other than my LFS...neither of my LFS's have shells (well, they do...but only shells for the decorative above water crabs, and they are expensive).
Thanks,
Mike
PS - I came home the other day to find Monica (Blenny) missing...any ideas? Maybe Condi or Rummy ate her???

Go to a craft store and see if you can find them there.
Hard to say what happened to your blenny but unless the fish was dying or already dead, I wouldn't blame your crab or shrimp. | |

Monica seemed really healthy last I saw her...and now she's MIA...I have no idea what happened to her...guess I will never know.
Thanks for the craft store tip...I will check that out!

How old is the tank and how long have you had the scooter? Was it eating frozen food or no? | |
