[streetfighter]

if ya keep it steve remember they can snip live cables I know you have every kind of electrical safety device (cant think where ya get them)
get a breeder trap and pop him in there?? then ya can watch him grow with no fera of damage

If you dont want him/her why not take it to your LFS i am sure they would have it off you if not i will. Eric

im not sure what to do with it, i dont know how long hes been in the sump and he wasnt doing any harm there. i only found it because i removed my bio balls and he was under there and easy to catch.

he really is a beauty, thought about adding it into my tank, then then it hit me, if he wrecks havoc i'll never catch it again...there again the lad would love it in his nano, he thinks its cool!

ive got a tub in the sump now with some holes in, hes living in there for now...when you next in Hull Eric? whilst i decide what to do with him
