as far as i know they are not poisonous like cukes
im not sure if the orange one are easier... i remember reading that one was easier than the other, but cant remember which one.. either way, its all relative.. something that is a bit easier than "really hard" is still "hard" or "almost really hard"...lol |
interesting. I have one, which has been in my tank since I started it. So far I have managed to kill everything but the linkia, a hermit crab and my cynerina. Some of you would have read my post about the
bleached BTA as a result of a high temperature event. That pretty much nuked the tank, and I wasn't home so it was about 2 days before I could remove all the casualties. Linka is still ticking after all that. My experience has been that they are one of the most hardy residents (possibly bullet proof, but I'm not so keen on testing that theory).
Oh, and at the time I got it I didn't know to accilmate new additions to a tank. The linkia got tossed in to a three week old tank that was barely cycled and had an owner hell bent on destruction through ignorance. I have turned my back on those evil ways now and have found inner peace.
