How many crabs can i have in ISO?

Post by tayc1998 » Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:39 pm

Hello! I have 4 PP all about to molt. I have two currently in iso because they were trying to surface molt or were really close to the surface. Yesterday i was going through my substrate checking for flooding and unearthed my two who are still in the main and still relatively active. I put one in the moss pit and hes showing signs that he's about to shed his exo. So I'm wondering if i can put him in ISO with the others without having to worry about issues. For the record, one of the molters is almost ready to join the main again.

The ones you dug up should remain separate for their safety. If you can’t get the others out of iso you’ll have to either set up another tank or put a half soda bottle over the dug-up ones until they’re done molting.
