I cant believe it! SA Crab nor Crayfish invert identification
- Thread starter Kingster
- Start date
$3,000 investment upfront and end up making it back within a few years while being able to spread a unique species throughout the hobby. Sounds like a good way to spend your time if you have the money to invest in them. They might even give a slight discount if you buy 10 or more.
What I find odd is that made it $300.99 instead of a straight $300.00. Anyone else notice that?

Sorry for the late response and general lack of activity on the forum. I've been caught up in school as well as various things at home.
My Aeglas were rather short lived, as the pH was at around 5.1, but my test kit was either defective or old, because it read 6.5, so I thought there was no issue. At the time I kept them, I had both crystal red shrimp and neocaridina, and the aeglas didn't seem to bother them, nor did they bother my cories or gobies. For the most part they kept to themselves, though they did like to dig through my plants. They each made hiding spots under my monte carlo by lifting it up and using it as a blanket. They never killed my plants, but they did often move them out of the way, sometimes accidentally uprooting them, to get by. They seemed to eat about anything I gave them. They took blood worms, tilapia, and algae wafers, and would likely have eaten anything else I would have put in the tank. Overall, they had quite similar requirements as my shrimp did, though I would recommend keeping the pH around 7, as even if my test kit's measurement of 6.5 was correct, that still wouldn't be perfect for them.
I bought my Aeglas for $35 each from Wes. Despite how interesting they are, I couldn't justify spending $300 for one.
I also believe that I had the first photographic documentation/proof of one molting:

Wes is an MFK vendor that typically gets in pretty nice fish. He ships to all of the us, but you'll have to contact him about whether he does Canada.
