WHAT SIZE CRABS DO YOU PREFER TO ADOPT-I can only adopt exotics (Es & Straws)
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE US TO KNOW-I can only meet in the Columbus area. Being able to help with gas will be determined by how much money I have at the time. I house my species separately (straws in the 75, Es in the 55).
