I got some micro crabs spring break '95 Daytona Beach FL. All it cost me was the money for some Lindane and a few regrets.

Talk about easy to breed! I couldn't get those suckers to stop breeding.

Having them was quite an experience, but there's no way I'm paying $8 for them. You can get them for free on any Saturday night if you know where to look.
