Anyone else have a pistol shrimp?

I do too. He shares his home with two watchman gobies.

 

[stoney7713]

I have one in my 180. I very rarely see him, I know he's in there somewhere because he makes that loud snap sound

Well I know mines around! He's in my 13.5, see him all the time but he's a thief!!!!

Keeps stealing a mushroom on a small piece of rubble. So I glued it down last week. Now the shrooms is missing? Not just the shrooms but part of the rubble too.

Sadly I am thinking of letting him keep it. Last time I dug the shrooms out, moving rocks and sand, I had a bad diatom outbreak.

Him and the goby are a joy to watch too.

I heard the table crack from my boiler room in Wisconsin.

Good move brother! Mine is still unaware. May send he for a message...got an unboxing video to do.

Your unboxing video shouldn't be of the corals, should just be a long steady shot of her face and disapproval while you gleefully open and sort your corals.

Mine said only 17 lbs. I would of thought the blueberry kush mother colony would weighted more. I just the 3 torches and a few sticks is light weigh. LOL.

Haha, this is the most coral we've bought in one sale, and it weighs the same as my others. 17lbs. And we picked up 18 frags this sale. I would have thought it was going to weigh more.

Christmas sale we picked up 15 and it weighed 40lbs. Other sales with 15/16 weighed 17lbs too. Wonder if they just put 17 instead of weighing them all. Like 17 for small box and 40 if large box?

I alleviate the “more coral???!!” With talking about how i saved a bundle with GC and let her go nuts with house plants. This is our porch now

I think this is probably true. Weigh the box when you get it, I'd be very curious about it.

I love that retusa ficus bonsai

 

[steveschuerger]

I have 2 pistols that only see when I’ve moved tanks or tore it apart to do cleaning in the 60 and 1 that I got to pair with my Yasha in the nano. I’ve seen both of those fellas twice in total since putting them in. I know both are still alive cause I’ve seen the Yasha in the last couple days in the back of the tank peeking from the rocks and figure the shrimp is still ok cause of all the exit holes from tunnels around the rocks.

@stoney7713 I have one in my frag tank with my Yellow watchman goby that had to move there from harassment from the starry blenny. Theoretically I still have one in my 32 gallon display, I just wasn't going to be bothered trying to find it. I haven't seen it, but it was tiny to begin with. I always get the Randall pistol shrimp since I had read they are less aggressive than tiger pistols.

If she ever need more bonsai. I can send her some. I have 7 azaleas in bonsai training pots.

I really want to get another bonsai tree but don’t really know what to get. I got a ficus and the massive amount of white flowers I always had to trim off/clean up drove me crazy.

Send one to Shane and then have him add it to Steve’s box, then he can pull out the bonsai and give it to his wife to distract her.

I like this this idea

Indoor or outdoor, flower or no flower. Do you get a winter where you are. The easiest are ficus, jade, chinese elm.
