HCA: Hermit Crab Association

How nice of you to resurrect this thread for me to stumble upon! Wow! Impressive!

Just so happens I have a 55 gallon tank and a 5 gallon tank my neighbor gave me that I’m not using yet. I’m currently using 1 gallon Tupperware pools. It might depend on how many crab you have in there because you are going to be taking up some molting space. My 55 gallon is 48 x 13 x 21. I think a ...

Thanks GB for settling my nerves a bit. Things do seem to be settling a bit. I guess Crabby didn’t like the intruders at first. Funny CL77 , I’ll call him little T. Lol. And there’s no one smaller for him to pick on. Darn it! Now I feel like I need a bigger tank! At least a 75g but that’s only 5 inc...

So I’ve been restraining myself on getting Crabby some new friends from a pet store. I don’t want to support that. So I’ve been searching to adopt and turns out many of my daughters friends went to the gulf this summer. And they know about her “my” crabs lol. One of her friends decided to get three ...

Love this video!

Sounds like you’re on the right track to me. I try to keep my temp and humidity at or above 80. Sometimes at night it will fall below 80 especially during winter. I only have purple pinchers as well. Use salt that is used for saltwater aquariums like instant ocean for the saltwater pool. Offer plent...

I was thinking the emitters might cause less splash out but I thought maybe someone here had tried them before

It’s hard to tell in these pics but they are deep enough for the crabs to submerge. Although I will be getting something deeper sometime. As well as hopefully finding at least a 75 gallon tank. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200714/5d11943c5e38f7e419b6336cf14857c5.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cd...

Thought and experiences on emitters vs airstones?

So I guess there is kosher salt without the anticaking agent. I’m not familiar with ferrocyanides

Is this safe to use to treat wood? It has yellow prussiate of soda.

This was back in January and I haven’t seen him swim since. This was when i first added filters and took out my bubblers. Crabby wasn’t scared of the filters a bit. My ramps are different now but this was just a quick set up. My filters are more secure too. This is Crabby in the freshwater. https://...

I just quickly bought some Morton kosher salt but it says it has yellow prussiate of soda as an anti caking agent. I thought kosher wouldn’t have anything added. Is it ok to use for boiling wood? I also have some sea salt but I thought it might have other stuff in it hence the reason I bought kosher.

It’s either this one on the link above or it’s vivosun. I think I got it from amazon. I actually purchased...
