I just got some Pom Pom crabs ( they are cheerleaders in my football tank ) on the ends of the tank, are 10” air bars… several of the crabs are repeatedly catching a bubble, riding it to the top, then “sky diving “ back to the bottom… that’s not all they do, but seems like when they are in the mood, they do it repeatedly for 5-10 minutes at a time…. You can almost hear they screamingly weeee on the way down… in all their actions, they are very interesting to watch

I know it's besides the thread point, but how big are your pom pom crabs and do you think that the would do fine with a fish such as peacock gudgeons that are about an inch in size (sometimes going JUST over an inch as well).
I love pom pom crabs and would love to get some...
 
They are not bothering my tiny (3/4”) Cory’s in the tank… they seem oblivious to the fish mine are pretty small… 3/8”- 5/8” across the middle

I took a couple action pictures, but I don’t have a video hosting site, and haven’t done many videos ( on purpose ) got a few accidental, so I know I can do them… just not to “smooth” at saving them or posting them
 
Trying to attach files directly from my phone rather than using my photo hosting site

I see one of my dwarf crayfish ( penalty flags on the field… in the football tank ) photo bombed their way into that last set of pictures… the Cory’s are the referees
 
They are not sky diving right now… but, test 1

Apparently I need quite a bit on trial and error on the video thing
 
😂 practise makes perfect! Can we help by talking you through it? Someone may have the same phone model as you
 
Right now I can email the video, but it’s not named and I can’t find it to attach to the forum
 
Unfortunately you'll have to upload it to somewhere like YouTube first, then copy and paste the link to here...its very inconvenient in my opinion 🧐 but them's the rules
 
Yep some sort of hosting site, like I do with pictures… my pictures quality is much better from the hosting site, than just uploading them from my phone… I use a free picture hosting site… not sure what is out there as far as video hosting???
