Red-Claw crab on a mission

[iloveyouDIE]

This little guy lives with my Red Bellied Piranhas. He's the only invert to survive in this tank and he seems to be a master of hiding. He has all his hideout and escapes planned out and he knows how to hide in the piranhas shadows, etc. he lives in a large hollow log in the tank.

Today he decided to get a bit ballsy.

Check him out, trying to steal their food!

There's no harm in trying since they are really cheap.

Inverts are the only things I've had survive in my P tank for any amount of time. I had 2 crawdads last about 2 weeks before they got eaten and the current crab had another with him about a week before he got eaten. Two more crawdads were put in there recently.. not sure if they became food or are hiding cause I haven't seen them since. While they are in there they do a good job sweeping up all the excess food though!

I think this little guy has survived for a few months now. He climbs up the large log in the tank to get air and while he's up there the piranhas can't even see him!
