Fay Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I lost all mine to the same thing I don't think they are suited to tank life. Has anyone else grown these with success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 i have 2 in my tank that have been there for quite a while, i would estimate about 8 months but cant be sure. there both growing slowly. no sign of being unhappy. no idea whats causing your problems though :-?

raeh1 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 this happened to mine me mysis shrimp were picking at his legs.. It started hanging out in the light as well. I put it in my sump (no lighting) and 3 weeks later it was looking better growing legs again. Speaking of "old bones" I best see if he is still alive I forgot about him... 2-3 months later :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
