Well, with Izzy things continue to be good. She is not very social which I expected but I have spottede her out a few times. And I continue to feed her shrimp pieces with a bamboo skewer. She also really enjoys small Hermit crabs and small Turbo Snails. From the shell count she is eating a few a week on top of the shrimp I give her every two days. As for Bee...I have no idea. I have never found her den. There is only one spot in that tank I cant see but ...
Although not a ugely exciting week but we did have some action. First and most important I found one. I am not sure which one it is, I'm not even sure i would be able to tell unless they were next to each other, as Izzy was a little bigger than Bee. Anyway however it is is hiding in a nice little crevice had where a piece of Florida rock is sitting on top of a piece of Fiji rock.

I guess I'll use this weeks blog to talk about the tank. It is a 55 gallon Tall (same footprint as a 30 just tall) with a two Marineland hang on filters, which are rated for 75 gallons each. For lighting I made a red light, I bought a red florescent party bulb and put it in a metal clip-on work light that I simply placed on top of the tank. ...
Week 1 Well so far everything with Izzy is going great After the first night in the tank she settled into a nice little den that made it easy to she her. At around 11 o'clock on her second night I offered her a piece of shrimp tail. I Used a bamboo skewer and a piece of shrimp about the size of a lima bean. I just reached into the tank with the skewer and barely touch one of Izzy's arms with the chunk of shrimp, she quickly snatched it off the skewer and began to eat it. I repeated ...
