The crab is about 2 inches in total width. It is really cool and would love to add him to my tank, but do not want to risk the rest of the gang. I also picked up 4 large snails, not sure what kind. They are around 1 inch in size each. Anyone else have any advice in the matter.

I saw that web site, but it really did not address what the "Boston Bean" are. I guess I was looking more for paramiters of a tank, and if they were considered poisones

Does anyone know anything about "Boston Bean" fish? My LFS has one and I am wondering if it carries the same toxin that my longhorn cowfish carried? He is a cute little thing that my wife loves, but I could not find out that much info on the web. My LFS could tell me much either, which is...

You are not supposed to post links on here, but I would assume if you did a google search you would find something on it. If you have any wiring experience it should not be difficult for you. :joy: Tried the google thing, but did not come upwith anything. Any other suggestions?
