HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I am considering buying all of those poor babies for brackish water.... How do you make brackish water?

So I went into Walmart and I saw a thing that said they had fiddler crabs..... But they were in a tank filled with water???

Are they likely fiddlers? And should I try and save them if they are?

Thanks :/

Hey everyone, I know this isn't exactly an emergency yet.. But I am going to be painting my room... and the crab tank has to stay in my room while this happens... is there anything I can do to protect my babies from being hurt by the fumes?

The Tanks are for the hermit crabs embetterment. I am not sure on ANYTHING right now, thats what I am doing, posting about what I think I will do, getting advice, learning from others real life expierienes.. and by summer I will probably being getting a new expierance of my own. I think Corals are o...

I have done my research and I am aware of what I need to do to do it an how hard it is going to be. This is going to be a long process to get right, but I will be able to get it right, because it is for the benigit of my hermit crabs

experience? absolutely none! haha I'm learning by research and awesome people who take some time out of their day to help me on my way

You know you could, possibly, take choya wood and glue them with aquarium selant to a upside down coco-hut to make a shell shop?

aquarium sealent would work... if you want it there for a really long time...

iceicebaby- i was commending you for taking it down sorry if you didn't relise it.

Don't use metal!!! Metal will rust and it will harm the hermit crabs!!! use a shower basket

Once conditions are up to Parr the molt fest begins. Be ready for bigger and brighter coloured Hermies in the very near future.

My Smalls molt about once every 2 months... My Mediums molt about every 4 of 5 months... My Larges molt about every 8 months.... My Jumbo Molts about Once a Year... My Smalls stay under ground for 3days to 2 weeks My Mediums stay under ground for 1 week to 1 month My Larges stay underground for 2 we...

So we all spend so much time on the tanks but never on the pools. After I upgraded to my 95gw I immediatly made the big step up and got 2 5.5gallon pools. I made my tank look awesome (I KNOW I NEED TO POST PICS!!!) but then there were these 2 tanks with water.... and that was it... I added rocks to ...
