The Otto's in my LFS in London are £17 each and last time I saw them they didn't look too healthy because there wild caught so I thought I would give them a miss. Hopefully next time I see them they will be better, even so 17 each is a lot. Will question them on there pricing I think. Do you...

I heard that Zebra otto's are quite sensitive and need very stable and good water conditions compared to regular otto's because they are fairly new to being kept in aquariums. Have yours settled in well? How long have you had them in the tank for? and what are you water parameters? Sorry for...

75cm puffer?! I will be setting up a small journal of the crab tank in motion so watch out for it in the next few weeks. I wont be having many if any plants in there, mostly a rock scape, maybe a few mosses.

I have seen South American Puffers before and have to say I prefer the Dwarf ones. Smaller and more delicate plus I could have a few of them in the 60L, just preference. Thats exactly the same as me, I saw one and thought, I'm going to have to have a tank with a few of those in at some point...

haha! thats impressive. bad boy puffers. Damn. I knew it was too good a combination to be possible. I love the puffers and will have to have them in another tank at some point then, just annoying only being able to have them on their own, but worth it I think, their amazing. Going with the crabs...

the puffers only grow up to 1" whereas the crabs grow to be around 2". The crabs do like to hide out. You really thing the puffers being half the size would have the crabs?

The crabs are a fair bit bigger than the dwarf puffers though... Yes I heard that as well, However this tank is not going to be planted, its a simple sand and rock scape with maybe a few mosses. Crabs and a few fish. Low tech, simple and smart.

I thought the same thing, but then most other fish including schooling fish that are apparently fine with red claw crabs because they are quick also stay nearer the bottom of the tank when sleeping.... I am very doubtful of trying it, seeing as both the crabs and puffers are expensive.

I was in my LFS today and was drawn in by how beautiful red claw crabs look in a really simple rock based scape so im going to get some for my 75L but am deciding what to put with them. From what they said in the shop and research online the crabs can be kept with schooling fish perfectly...

Great, Thanks everyone. Will pick up some new members on friday then. Its about a 2 hour journey as well, will ask for a bit of extra o2 and a dark bag.

Just wondering if it would be okay or a bad idea to add new fish to my tank at night? I work in London but live down in the country and travel by train, am aiming to pick up some new fish from the aquatic design center on friday but would get back in the evening when the light has gone off on my...
