They are cool--but be prepared for some stink. And, don't put them in with your fish--they can get large enough to pose a threat to most small-medium sized fish. They are terrors.

I haven't ever had success with these creatures. I tried them years ago as an experiment (sadly enough) but none of them lived but one. Oh well...I can live w/o them.

I know---but then again most of the things or products sold at Walmart is lame to begin with. I dont even pass that section of the store as it makes me want to rip the tanks right out of the walls.

Agreed, but these are from the DISCOVERY CHANNEL store and online. You would THINK they'd be a little more conversant with theses things!!

Those little guys remind me of horseshoe crabs. Pretty neat. Thanks Hans
