HCA: Hermit Crab Association

how long did the tiny crabs take to get out of the water and how did you see them? how old are they now?

SUPER AWESOME!!!!!! i love your whole tank. and i want a bigger one. its so tiny and crowded now but i can't. i'll be going to Aussie to study marine bio in july and i have to leave my 'babies' at home. Gotta teach my mum to take care of them for me while i am there. :S after the deep clean, i'll ta...

SUPER DUPER AWESOME!!!!! your jumbos look POSITIVELY TINY in there!!!! i can just imagine how huge is it. *is jealous*

my crabs are enjoying the stuff you passed to me I just have not gotten the time to take pics too. XD plus its time to deep clean it. :S

nope they present no problems to me either! The crabs just tear my leaves apart and i'm left with a leafless fake plant.

love your crabbies and photos!! I do need to update mine too XD

lovely violas!!! 0.0 such drastic changes on the first 2! Violas have such pretty colours. :) I've got 3 and all of them are of a different size. LOL!! the biggest is such a huge bully over the other crabs but he has gorgeous colouring so all is forgiven :p PS: i have the same tree stump cave that y...

Yeap they will! So dont worry about the humidity at your place because tropical countries like ours have usually higher than normal humidities. singapore is practically 80-90% humid ALL the time. so turning on a little AC is fine.

good luck!

Well Philippines is a tropical country like singapore and like you my tank is my room and i turn on the AC EVERY night. I do not have sponges in my tank and my crabs are doing well for 2 years now. Just keep a lid and have your bowls of water. mine is just 2 pools with coral in it for the crabs to c...

opps didn't see this post. they are designed so that it can be either up side down or bottom side up. Kind of like a reversible shelves.. larger corner and small corner can be on either right or left side corners~ its alright :) That sounds awesome and very versatile. It'd be great for the tank esp...

oh the box i was mentioning was the shipping box because i'm afraid the items may not be able to fit into the shipping box. and if the items can fit into the small box, that would be great!! if not, the larger box will be fine

Oh that sounds great!!! i'm super stoked really. Thanks so much for everything!!!! and please do get a sample of the box first so that it'll be easier for you as well. I feel so bad making you go through all that trouble. Thank you so much!!!!

The foams are meant for being submerged in the water, and they dry really hard(they wont be able to pinch it off). and they are meant for aquarium fish use, so its safe. wow. I tried looking for those here but i don't think i have ever seen them. Thank you so so so much for everything!! I could hug...

keke I hear you. I have few vines and plastic plants that I can probably use to make something. The dimensions of the tank, is that the inside measurements? It will be easier if you can give me the inside dimensions because outside dimensions will be abit larger than inside(due to glass thickness)....

I think i would like option 2!!! Thanks so much for all your thoughts and help. I really appreciate it!

I wish i could put live plants but i'm a terrible green thumb and that poor tank wont get enough sunlight for plants to grow. I'm probably going to stick with fake ones :/ i might put a little pot with a certain grass to grow in and then have a small plastic cover with holes for the grass to grow ta...
