HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Okiedokie! After they have settled in, I may take a peek at them! the second they got put in their container (I moved them into a Tupperware w/ some sub in it) they never once stopped moving! Very active crabs. And thank you! They sure are adorable.

Thanks for the tips! We did actually build a stand, and it works very well! The floor has been holding great, but being cautious never hurts! I actually have it set up now and have tenants.. sorry for the lack of pictures... :oops: I will certainly take some! I did a quick set up, as I caught wind o...

Hiya! I finally got 3 new tenants in my 90 gallon! I was intending on picking up 2 adoptees, but it fell through and another crabber I believe is getting them :) I got them from a Pet Supplies Plus in the area, because I had gone a week earlier to check it out, and all of their crabs were powder blu...

Thank you! I hadn't even thought of that Yeah, I'm going to talk to him and we'll move the other(s) over!

I hope this is the right place, and I apologize if it isn't! This is not my crab, but my cousin's. He has a 20 long with 4 crabs. One of which, Bison, is either extra-large, or a small Jumbo. A few weeks ago, I helped him mix some sand and EE sub. e has about 3-4 inches, as that was all the sand ava...

Hi there! I'm not 100%, but I think your main concern is your water dishes, as they lay their eggs in standing sources of water. To combat that, I would advise that you do frequent water changes until the mosquitoes are no longer an issue.

Hello! Are the shiny pieces you are seeing very small? If so, I believe that is normal for the silica-based play sand, it sounds like nothing to worry about!

!!!!!! That is the most precious crab I've ever seen! I can't wait to get some E's!

More progress! :cheer: I've picked up more sand; totaling out right now at 300 pounds! If I run low, I'll just pick up another bag.. no biggie. Got 2 tubes of DAP silicone, and a bucket! (Thanks Home Depot!) My Ultratherm is in, and I also picked up my EE, Prime, and Instant Ocean along the way. I a...

There is a crawlspace underneath that section of the house, unfortunately.. However, it's small, and I think there is another place for the tank where it doesn't extend under. I'll definitely talk to someone!

Oh man... I am so sorry about all the posting, but I have a few questions. My first one is regarding the weight of the tank. I found a number putting my empty tank at 182 pounds. I do believe this is an older aquarium, and it has 3/8 in. glass thickness. We are putting it downstairs, as weight is a ...

Awesome! I'll probably straight up bury mine then, I think it looks nice [emoji4] I'll add my update here: I picked up the tank today! 90s are uh.... large... and heavy, but it's in great shape! We will be building a stand for it (and by we, I mean my dad) since it didn't come with one, which is ok....

All these posts, wow! Anyways, great news! Tomorrow afternoon I'll be picking up a 90 gallon! I thought it was a 75, but it's 48 x 18 x 25, making it awesome! It was listed for only 25 dollars too! :shock: Anywho, I have gotten a few Amazon gift cards for graduation presents, and want to buy an Ultr...

Well.... it's been a little while, and sadly, not a whole lot has gotten done.. But hey, perfection takes time! :hlol: With my cousin's tank, I went over and we mixed extra sub for his current tank, bringing the humidity up to 85%! His new 55 has gotten no work done, and we only have 2 of the 4 bags...

I got them from Mygann on Amazon! I did got my shells 4 days early as well, they seem sized right, and are gorgeous!
