Anyone have some bubble algae they need gone? We got these two huge emerald crabs from BSJF for $5 each. They were in the leaking FOWLR and are now in the sump. They were too big to go into the holding tanks with the fish, as they are almost the same size as the fish.

Kristy has been calling them Hanz and Franz, from the old Saturday Night live skit- "We are going to pump you up!"

Anyway, they are too big to live long in the sump and I am not sure what I am going to do about the leaky tank. So for $5 each, they are yours. You have to take them both. :) I would consider trades, depending on what you have.

Let me know if you are interested - Mike

Thread update for Mike:
You are not too late. We still have Hanz and Franz in the sump and they are going to PUMP YOU UP! Send Mike a pm if you want these guys - quite a bit of interest but no one has come to get them. Looks like it may take us a while to figure out our leaking fowlr situation and it's not nice to keep them down there for so long.

Funny thing is I miss these guys! Didn't realize they needed a home or they could have come back here.

Glad they found a home.
