[GSAS-Member] up-date : crawdad died

[Trish <snips36@yahoo.com>]

Well as I suspected the crawdad died....I just cleaned
the tank, and took out what was left of the one, for
the water was looking pretty cloudy. I also added some
Cichlid Vital. Not sure if it is needed, but don't
think it can hurt either.

So we'll see how it goes now with this one. The one
which died was the one which was had blue on it. The
other is more of a redish brown. So am going to start
feeding it some carrots to help with coloration. Have
read that they enjoy this, and other vegetable
matter.....

I was amazed at how soft the shell was on the one
which had died, so I see how vuneralable they would be
in the wild, while moulting. 

I noticed of what shell was left, {the back and tail}
for the other one had eaten most of the rest, am
thinking it had shed all it's shell, but then the
other had attacked it, and then killed it.  Then in
turn munched away..... 

So now I know for if we get another, I will have to
have better hiding places for them. I do have 2 caves,
and also some river rock for them, but obvisiouly it
wasn't enough. Need to have caves, which they can
actually retreat completely, into.
