Clean-up crew group buy - Keyscritters

All of my astrea's were in a separate bag from everyone else's so I think that was part of the issue.

I am going to yank them out tonight when I get home from work and do a water change.

Fun to do a water change on a 120g empty tank...sigh.
 
Elite,

Yank them before you get an outbreak of cyano and GHA! Seen that happen to people... from just a few dead turbos even.

More and more of my snails are starting to move. I think 90% are still alive.

What did you get?
 
Hey all,
Sorry to hear that people are having problems with the order. I emailed keys to see what they say. Can everyone test your tanks to see what all your levels are as I am sure keys will ask. Everyone one else, please post how your livestock is doing as it looks like only a few perople are having an issue.

The livestock in my tank looks OK I think, but I haven't really studied them as I was finishing the Bay to Breakers float. The large cerith where really lazy as it took them a few days to climb out of the glass I had in the tank, but the small cerith where out by the end of the day. The astrea are alive but moving slow. Don't know about the hermits as they seam to be lost in the tank and look just like the cerith. Bonnie, your stuff looks fine and I will keep an eye on them.

On a Bay To Breakers update:
We rocked. We had one of the best floats there. We did get pulled over for booze, but gave security the slip and kept on partying. Started raining just after I got to my car. Perfect. I will post pics when I get them from my friends. I was to busy drinking to take pictures.

I ordered 50 astrea, 25 cerith & 25 white cerith. I lost about 1/2 the white and 5 - 8 astrea due to a rogue hermit crab which has been a model citizen. It took a while for the snails to move, but by the next night most were climbing up the side of the tank.
 
I ordered 50 Cerith and 100 BL crabs

Phospates? Don't test

As I stated before some crabs jumped their shells, and died... but everything else looks good.

Gave some to my mantis and he enjoyed the tasty snacks.

Thanks for the update Jeff. :) I was going to ask you how the little guys were all doing, glad to hear they seem to be okay!
 
I had a small order 25 snails and 10 crabs.
I guess I lucked out. I only lost 4 snails and 3 crabs.
my original hermits took care of a few of those.
