me: i need to take a break from fishkeeping. maybe i will keep hermit crabs. maybe that will be better
i dont know why i am convinced it will be less stressful. it wouldnt, im sure. i mean, this alone:
[image ID: screencap of black text on pale blue background, from hermitcrabassociation dot com, reading:
"All hermit crabs are wild caught, and not all make the transition from life in the wild to life in captivity. They also take a very long journey from the tropics in less than good conditions to reach the stores where they are sold. Some hermit crabs will start to slow down and may unexpectedly die after being bought. This is known as Post Purchase Syndrome. Any crab that is new is at risk of sudden death until it has completed its first successful molt in captivity."
the highlighted text in the screenshot has been bolded instead for emphasis. end of image ID]
