  • @kaiandshadow its cute never said everything cute was a pet. However I rather have one of these guys in a tbig tank feed him and let him live to old age then have him out in the sea and end up getting flipped over on some beach to die :/ I mean geeze if i can even help one of these guys live longer i will its not cruel if you do it right its care 

  • @CONKER17 Everything cute is not a pet, let them live in the great huge sea, not confined in a fishtank... that is cruel.

  • this is very informative. I work in a big hotel with huge exhibits of fish and there we have touch pools. one of them have the horseshoe crabs and has ever wondered about their gonads. now i saw it here. great!!!

  • Only one guy is a douche...

  • @xmazz31x I am willing to get a tank one day to own a pet like this, I just needed to know what they need in order to live, what type of water what food ect

  • @CONKER17 I just saw some at petland for 25 bucks they come really small.. Do you have a tank setup yet? they arent a good starter fish.

  • anyone know what they need to live? i want a pet one :D

  • ITS A GIANT TRIOPS! without the backflipping..and freshwater...and 30 days to like...and super fast growth...and eggs can hatch after drying out...and the whiskers...ya

  • Our existence as species is about 0.0004% of the total time in years these guys have lived on Earth.

    How the hell did these guys outlive so many other species!?

  • Hey thanks for making this video .. it was really informative indeed !
