Great series of shots tom. Got a new cam?

#1 is my favorite. "Black boxing gloves" are on!

hey Gs.
nope, it's not a new camera, just my baby d40x
i'm refining my skills and i'm not using it on "auto" any more

thanks, i love the vinegaroon

I can see the improvements that's for sure
Keep up the good work bro.

Great pics tom. Vinegaroon looks awesome. What species is it? M. giganteus?

you know what ?
i haven't got a clue what it was.
i bought her for £10 at a show, pretty much to rescue her from this filthy box (i mean filthy, like months worth of mess from her, so it wasn't a temp. tank for sale)

i think she might be giganteus though

She is a great "burrower" when provided with a well packed substrate. Quite hardy imo.
And it's really cool to watch they grab preys with those massive claws..

+1. Mine is probably the most aggressive eater I have.

haha, i never see her until food is in, so you're both right

oops. i bought some more inverts
it's my first aquatic venture into invert keeping



i got a male and a female

Nice additions Tom. I like the color on them. Do you know what species they are?

oops, i forgot to say
rainbow crabs, Cardisoma armatum

Omg stirmis are so cute when they're slings!
Great pics man!

haha, yeah. she's pretty
she's growing dead quick

thanks

Gotta get myself a stirmi or 5..

Have 2 blondiis tho They grow so freakin fast! They were both slings when i got them and one of them eat like crazy and is like 3-4 cm bigger than the smaller one :O
