right... as I just learned... What would be an adequate replacement to my two sally lightfoot crabs? I really want to get some more skunk shrimps to help keep my fish clean....

I agree - I lost a purple/yellow smaller fish (for the life of me, I can't remember what it was, a psudochromo or something like that) and a juvenile engeneering coby... MIA for a few days, and when I got in there, there was no trace. I previously thought that my (now returned to the store)...

FYI - I have two sally lightfoot crabs in my 55g. Added a skunk shrimp and it disapeared a few day later, ironically right after I got rid of a green bristle star. I assumed it was just hiding after molting. Added another skunk shrimp a day or so later. 2nd day: while we watched, one of the...
