HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Nicely done! I think it looks amazing.

Congrats on the teeny crab! I know what you mean about them being so small, I do the same with mine... anything looks big next to them!

Thanks guys! I luckily found some shells their size to keep em happy, so hopefully it will do for the timebeing. They a little too big, but good growing room I guess? Edit: in some of the pics, they both in it but one is hiding underneath the pothos and a little hard to make out. They really do blen...

Thanks guys! (I've always wanted to set up a small SW nano, I have the perfect tank and now a light... so its certainly possible. :) maybe in the future?) As for the tank, the plants have been going pretty good. Unfortunately my ficus pumila died, which may of been my fault as I was a little too agg...

Looks good. Reminds me of coral sand - guess its' made of the same material...

People have had it with their crabs without issue. Some have expressed concerns of using 'evergreens' with crabs due to the oils they contain, which is a natural insecticide.... Old wood don't contain these oils, but some like to err on the side of caution and not have anything potentially dangerous...

Thanks! I really finding these little ones so comical.. I'm use to big crabs, and when I see the little ones move they look like little pebbles walking - or when they not moving, its so hard to spot them! They both really enjoy the background at least! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/5f96d...

Welp. Came home with 2 new crabs. Was going to go to a new store near my uni, ended up doing a bit of retail therapy in the process. Two new hermies, and a few fish related things later... you know the drill [emoji52][emoji52][emoji52] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/45fa2c1238cc836bd442ed...

As long as they can easily get in/out, it will be fine.

That could work!

Another idea is to elevate the pools slightly, by using a level - one could even be made out of eggcrate - and then walking space and hiding space is increased - not to mention available surface area.

Nice shots! I also have milipedes.

Curious, what type of container do you keep em in? Any pics?

Thanks, aussieJJDude, but I have two minor problems- currently I do not have very deep water dishes, and even though they're deep enough for purple pinchers, they aren't very large- they are the small flukers stone water dishes. Also only have a ten gallon tank, and don't have room for anything big...

Ohh. Im subbing, look forward to the build!

Most use sphagnum moss - organic if possible.

how about a ten gallon tank? Does my crab need a bigger tank to even think about breeding? thats all iv'e got. :( Generally, larger tanks are more likely to have eggs produced. Whether its due to the tank size or simply the amount of crabs - increases breeding potential- is undetermined. Sent from ...
