Well, Es don't have blue eyes, but I do have one who had a very slight greenish tint to his body when I bought him. That's since passed and he's now a more gray/slightly orange color but it was cool when I had him!
Yeah, living in one room just wouldn't work so well. And if you get an allowance you could try saving up your allowance (or any spending money you get) to get a bigger tank. Keeping more than one tank running full time is a lot of work, even for me - I hate when I have to ISO any of my crabs because changing two waters, making up two food dishes, cleaning up the messes they make - coconut fiber and moss on the sand, sand in the food/water, shells out of the second level, etc. can get to be fairly time consuming if you have active crabs in both tanks. I was SO grateful when Rocky and Spaz were out of their ISO and into the main tank...they were always making a mess, and the 30g guys seemed to catch on too.
Where do the experts buy their crabs??

Yes, well, I don't get an allowance, but I do make lemonade stands with my friends in the summer! And since it's summertime, I guess it's time for lemonade stands again! I used to make most of my money off of them. And I know that E's don't have blue eyes, but you know how dreams are! And it would still be really cool!!

You could talk to your parents about these 2 sites. See if you can get a free or cheap big tank.

Oooh, good idea Vicki! Because I already looked on Ebay and-- I swear--- they had pretty much NO good tanks at all except fish tanks that came with all this fish filters and stuff! I'll try your websites!
