Aussie Breeding Success Dec 2016/Jan2017
Day 47 and the crabs are doing so well. It is interesting to watch their antics and their growth. It seems to be those in smaller 1st shells who are choosing larger 2nd shells first. 6 have now gone to 2nd shells BUT I do have at least one who is in a 3rd shell. This is one of the smaller ones stil...

Sorry looks like I missed this. I am feeding them fine grain beta food.PinchersAndShells wrote:May I ask what you are feeding them? I plan on attempting breeding when I'm an adult, so I've been recording what people are feeding, what kinds of tank they make, water conditions, etc.

Tuesday 3rd January 2017 Day 30 Today has been fairly active in the trans tank. Lots of babies out and about. The egg is still popular but it is starting to stink so I will take it out later tonight. Tonight I changed all the food dishes. One has only got crushed cuttlebone, another has shrimp and ...

Re: Aussie Breeding Success Dec 2016/Jan2017
:love:: Man, pics of these guys get me every time . So many feels. How long til you can expect to see a difference in claw size? There is a difference already but because they are so tiny it probably doesn't show up clearly enough in the photos. But let me say this they use both equally as adeptly ...

Re: Can I spray fumes in my room?
I would not use any scents in there. Glass is porous. Even though it looks solid it is not. Just my recommendation ;) Glass is not porous. If it was your drinks would leak out of the glasses and fish tanks wouldn't hold water. However, I do agree that sprays etc shouldn't be used around crabs. No t...

Id assume once they are teeny size they would be safe for gen pop but really good question. I wonder if they need easier to eat food as well?

I'm not sorry about the loss coz it gives the other a better chance of survival. Seems like a hard attitude but it is nature's way.
