    Whatever's comfortable to you is most likely good for them. If you keep them in the 80s they'll usually be hungrier and grow faster. I just keep mine on a shelf in my room. Temps are usually in the mid to upper 70s and mine do fine. :gj:

    If I get back into inverts it'll be to get an A. Versicolor. I've always wanted one but never wanted to fork the money out.

    Were they a lot more expensive before? I'm not loaded but to me $25 (what i paid for mine) isn't a ton of money to fork out lol.

    Yea thats how i look at it lol! And you can always (well, usually) resell it for at least what you paid for it if you decide you don't want it. Its not like T's get attached to their keepers or anything.

    I'm the same way but I would need about 100 names right now.

    Mike, prices have came down a lot over the past couple of years.

    And does he need a soda lid for water??

    So, when I was cleaning house today, I kept moving things around thinking, "Hmmm, I could put a T here...and here...and here..."

    I think I'm in trouble. :-/

    Meph, Avics can be tricky. I would give it a cap for some water.

    It's always a good sign when you are wanting more before you even get your first one :p
