I haven't started my salt water tank yet but I am in the process of piecing it together...

My question is, Is it possible to buy Horse show crabs and is someone able to maintain them in an aquarium. I know they are found in Maryland, but I don't know of the legality of having them sold or shipped into Wa state.

I have kept freshwater for as many years as you are old! lol
I started saltwater two years ago last march.
I had four freshwater planted tanks set up still untill a few months ago. Took all of them down except one. Kept one of my baby bn plecos and my danios. Other wise I have 6 saltwater tanks set up at the moment. One is the qt/hospital tank.

Yea and i havent seen a lot around, I had to special order it to get one. Growing up I didn't know plecos could be so pretty. I also like Pseudacanthicus cf. leopardus (L114) a lot but i cant seem to find them anywhere.

Thats cool. I wish i could have that many tanks. I have a 50 gal fresh water but i am piecing together another one. Salt water is expensive and i don't want to skimp on the equipment. Thats a good idea tho I ever thought to keep a Hospital tank. I am a marketing major and i hope to one day work for or help run an aquarium store so I can have all the fish I really want without having to have 100 tanks at home. I want to own a Dragon Eel one day but that will require a big big tank and id rather just go to work every day and see him then spending all my money maintaining him :lol!: Own Any strange or unusual salt water fish that your particularly proud of?
