No PPS?

Post by Freddiefreaker » Tue Jun 23, 2020 8:27 pm

I've read up about PPS and how to deal with it out of fear of my killing my crabs, but three out of the four new crabs I have are regularly moving around and eating even in the daytime. Should I still be so fearful of PPS, or would such activity not be present in a truly stressed crab? The fourth crab has buried himself somewhere in the tank, so I'll leave him and buy some new shells in case he's molting. Any thoughts?

The risk of PPS doesn’t usually go down until after their first molt. Once they get past that stage they’re usually home free.
