Aquatic invert section interest thread

[Arachnopets]

Ok, so IF, and I mean IF, we decide to go forward with this, what would any of you suggest it be called? Aquatic Invertebrates, Aquatic Crustaceans, or something else?

invertebrates would be best

 

[Smotzer]

I think @Arachnopets those could work fine!

This is quite a bit too broad this could cover anything on the site and would cause many more issues with posting in the wrong section.

"Aquatic" was already established. I was saying Invertebrates over Crustaceans because then you'd have to put aquatic insects in the other insects.

ohhh my apologies Orin that makes a lot more sense! I thought you were saying just invertebrates Yes I agree with you that Aquatic Invertebrates then is best as it covers the widest group for aquatics that can be discussed!

Aquatic Invertebrates would make the most sense, since it hopefully would include both crustaceans like crayfish and shrimp as well as non-crustaceans like snails, aquatic true bugs, etc

I don't currently keep any aquatic inverts but I would be interested in such a forum. My absolute favorite area would probably be marine crustaceans but I am interested in all sorts of aquatic inverts including insects. I love crayfish burt the laws here in Wisconsin prevent keep all but a few species. My next plunge may be vampire crabs. My vote would be yes

I vote for Water Critters to be represented also.

Nice! I know they're not similar, but since it's difficult for you to get crayfish, perhaps triops might interest you. I know they're not very similar, but I am interested in both so maybe you could be too.

I am in full support of an aquatic inverts section. My very first pet as a child was an electric Blue crayfish and since then I've kept a few crab species. Nothing too serious though.

I've seen them and they are interesting but not enough variation. Before I was aware of Wisconsin's strict laws I had several varieties but my favorites were the Mississippi dwarf crayfish and a huge, (it had to be close to 8") blue and purple specimen of an unknown species. I used to belong to a couple of facebook crayfish groups but I left because I would get depressed seeing the things I could get but not have.

I think it would be quite interesting to have "Aquatic Invertebrate " added

I second this name and would appreciate the seperate space to post about these. As long as it specifies that crustaceans are including. There are so many interesting inverts to post and learn about.

I would definitely be more inclinded to source my information here aswell. It will also allow more people to join in if their interest is only crabs and such.

 

[Arthroverts]

The shrimper and aquatic snail communities sometimes seem larger than the tarantula hobby given their roots in aquarium keeping. If some of those hardcore people could be “poached” (ha ha) from some of those aquarium communities it would make maintaining activity easier.

Thanks,

Absolutely! Thanks for the support!

 

[pentapede]

we do need this section! it would be amazing for people who want to get into keeping aquatic inverts, but just can find enough information. for all it counts, my support is with you.

 

[paumotu]

definitely would love a section like this. Crabs don’t get talked about enough on the invertebrate forum

 

[Terrena Laxamentum]

Definitely would appreciate an aquatics section, big fan of crawdads and other crustaceans.

 

[thebeanboi]

+1 on an aquatic invert section!

 

[Jimbob]

Just wanted to add that i think this would be pretty awesome. I feel like crustaceans are some of the most interesting inverts and have potential to go well in some pretty cool tanks(paludariums/etc)... Yet they are way underrepresented online it seems.
