If it’s a female, great, if it’s a male I still give it the best life possible just for a shorter amount of time. Where it gets tough for me is do I replace the males? For instance the only T. albopilosus in my collection right now is a MM, hooks, sperm webs, wandering and all, and I’ve enjoyed raising him so much I fully intend to get another, sex be damned. On the other hand, I have a K. brunnipes that recently hooked out, and while I love my little guy and also enjoyed raising him from a speck of sand, I really have no intention of getting another of this species. Now I feel bad having said that lol</p></blockquote><p></p>
