I agree!! You can see in the pictures I sent below and in the previous post that I have rectangular stone tiles lining the ramp and staggered on all 3 sides of the water tank from the bottom to several inches above the water line. There is an egg-crate platform that extends under the water and choll...

I have Aqueons 75 and 29, both with toppers and on stands to be connected with a tunnel. Should be a total of about 125 when it's done.

Oh, on the issue of, "would they use it?", Motorcrab has advised me to be patient. I thought my crabs would be so happy to leave their relatively boring temp tank that they'd start exploring their new home immediately. I couldn't have been more wrong! It takes time. They're mostly shy creatures. I h...

I've had freshwater pools in my crabitats for the past 5+ yrs. They've gotten much better over time and my crabs LoVE their current pool. It's a planted tank, just under 5 gals and I have shrimp, dwarf African clawed frogs and otto catfish. They all get along, nobody eats anyone else and they're so ...

Have you found a home for your crabs yet? I'm in Harrisburg PA and can probably convince my husband to do the driving at least halfway to pick them up. Let me know if you're interested and I can give you particulars on my setup.

I always had good luck putting some bird seed sticks (kind of like granola bars) in my tank for them on vacations in the past. I broke them into pieces and they really enjoyed them. Plus it's protein-packed and doesn't spoil easily.

I also would like to know how your plants fared this far. My crabs destroyed everything I put in the fank

OMG I hope someone rescues these guys ... This is not a "good setup". Is that a CANDLE?!? For heat I'm guessing...[emoji3064]

I also use moss I forage from my house and some other TRUSTED locations. I've tried a couple of different methods for prep before putting in the tank. 1) nothing...I've visually inspected for insects, given it a good shake, popped it in the tank; 2) rinse and dehydrate, rehydrating it in the tank; 3...

Have you found a home for your crabs yet? I sent you an email.

I'm happy to have him too! Beyond how gorgeous he is, he has a wonderful temperament. It's funny how different all their colors are. I only recently started photographing their setae patterns and his are pretty easily identifiable, fortunately. I hope it's a good long while before the coloration goe...

Oh, NO! That's not what I wanted to hear...he didn't mention he was freshly molted but he does have eyelashes and a couple of pointy nails. Although, I have several others that still have their lashes and nails >6 mos post-molt. I'm really, REALLY trying to find ANY evidence that they aren't going t...

We were able to help out and adopt this guy last week before his owner had to move. I'm always excited to add a new crab to our family but this was a really beautiful surprise. The first thing I noticed was his bright purple exo and then those unbelievable periwinkle blue antennae took my breath awa...
