also he just molted and i found the heel of the rap. in the sand.. that thing is ****ing sharp, all three points of it. i use to be curious as to how much damage he could actually do to me and finding that thing in the sand made me realize i don't want him to attack any part of me.... i need to get someone drunk enough to do it :Angel:
mine breaks up bamboo skewers real bad, and hes one of the much smaller species, 2 inch max. iv noticed mine will tolerate some things, like snails shrimp and sometimes fish, and destroy clams and crab and everything else, such smart animals have to have food preferences
i think you are right on that, i put a snail in there for him 3 days ago and he only took one hit at it from what i've seen, but ive seen him jump out of his hole at brine shrimp that would float by.
I had a smithii for a while. It would always crack the bamboo sticks I used to feed him with. Make sure you move his surrounds around ever once in a while to keep him sharp. Its fun to watch them make new homes too, like a little jackhammer
Funny you say that. Before I knew anything about sw the lfs sold me a smithii they said was a peacock.
