Ok, Im going this afternoon, will bring back the barb and take a look at their stock, probably wont buy anything as the advice from this forum has helped me so much I dont want to necessarily purchase anything until Ive ran it through here first.

Ok so I have some updates. The crab is now with the dearly departed, as we found that it was not in fact a solely aquatic crab, and he has now drowned(thank you poorly ran LFS who sold that crab to me without hesitation despite knowing it was going in a fish tank, you're awesome) and I have...
