Crabby!!

I've got new pets. Again. :)

A month ago I bought a mini self-sufficient tank which contained 4 micro-mini looking volcanic shrimps. The tank requires minimal care and can be used as a decorative item.

Earlier this afternoon, K & I went to get another tank. We also bought sand substrate, saltwater and special feed. Hehe.....and we got ourselves 2 hermit crabs! :)

I've named one of them as Mr Orange as he's got an orange-tinged pincer and his front two feeler-like antennaes are orange in colour too. The other crab's a dark drab grey with blue-hued pincers. K's supposed to name him and he chose the name Mr Grey. How innovative. He copied me. -_-

Anyway, my dad welcomed the idea of having them as pets. My mum said I was mad and complained about me cluttering up the house with my plants, my shrimp and now this hermit crab tank. Lol...she warned me to stop buying these "things" anymore and nagged about having to help me clean and wipe these "things".

Hmm. Anyway, I think she'll warm up to the crabs. I just need to give her more time. Though she nagged, she was still quite curious about the crabs and was trying to see how they crawled around and how they drank water. :)

Right now the tank's kinda empty with just a bowl of plain water, a bowl of saltwater and a bowl of their dry food pellets. I should look into getting some decorative items soon....for the tank to look less drab and for the crabbies to play around with. :)
