jervismun Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The dead crab could be empty shell... a result of molting Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member loneteelay Posted August 15, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted August 15, 2007 The dead crab could be empty shell... a result of molting crabs are also molting? Tomato is a big fish. I think it's not suitable to pair up in such a small tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
