while moving the rocks back into my tank from moving it today I discovered this guy, what the heck should I do with this guy, I am thinking about letting 'em live in the sump and eat detritus?  ------------- Family Portraits /Google trusted Photographer for Google Maps for Businesses |

| I sucked up one cleaning out detritus so big that it clogged my hose yesterday, then I was lifting up a trachy and a monster was clinging to the underside and bristled the crap out of me, luckily is was on my finger tips so it didn't hurt as bad as it could have, probably two hundred bristles in my fingers. I dispatch the large ones quickly. |

That is a big one. Maybe donate him to the Smithsonian, Guinness Book of World Records, or Ripley's Believe It or Not. I'm getting more and more use to them but they still really freak me out sometimes. The biggest one I have actually seen in one of my tanks was about 8 inches. The bigger they are the easier they are to catch and get rid of. ------------- Larry Halliday West Jordan |

| I saw 1 on a web page somewhere a while back that a guy pulled out of his tank. It was a little over 7 feet. Now how gross is that. lol |

I think you should take it to a taxidermist and have it made into a necktie

I got it at cal-ranch about three years ago and I don't remember exactly, about $65 or so, it's technically a watering trough for horses and cows. ------------- Family Portraits /Google trusted Photographer for Google Maps for Businesses |
