Maybe I’m still worried about them being way too crowded though. It’s a lot of crabsCrabby7Crabber wrote:That sounds like a good plan, adding them together. Saves space; wish I knew how to do that!

I notice everyone tends to be super conservative these days about not overcrowding, but once they get past that first mass moult, they'll start to spread out and you'll maybe have a third to half down at any given time. Moulting space is the most important aspect, so as long as that is covered they should be fine. If they're as small as you're saying, a 55 should be okay for the time being. I might even go a step further and put all the micros and teenies in a tank based on how many there are (a 10 or 20 gallon) and then leave the 55 for the bigger ones.

Thank you. That was a fantastic read and really did break it down perfectly.Motörcrab wrote:JMT's guide helps explain a lot with figuring crabs per gallon. Read this slow because it's very detailed and may make your brain melt if you try to skim through it too quickly! This should help you get a better grasp on what you are dealing with. http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/ ... 51#p836451
