Hey everyone! When I wrote this, I was kind of anxious about my crabs so it got a little dark. I think I'll rephrase it and say, "I am on the lookout for a new 55 gallon really close to Milwaukee and I will update you with anything I find." If anyone on this site has a 55 gallon with stand and light...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to update and ask some questions. Due to space, I am not sure I will be able to get a 55 gallon tank. I have 9 crabs, and know that I am overstocked with a 29 and 10 gallon tank. They are mostly small, but 1 is borderline large. Is the only alternative adopting out some o...

Sounds good! Thank you so much for the feedback! I am interested in the moss pit especially!

Hello Everyone! Sorry if this isn't in the right spot. Haven't been on in a while, but am glad to be back! Currently, I have a 29 gallon and 10 gallon tank.

My sister has a crab that only comes up once every couple months for 1-2 days and goes back down again. The crab is a large crab so she is most likely molting.

Thank you so much. She was moving around a lot before hand but seemed to have settled down in this area. Hopefully she will be able to molt successfully.

Beautiful crabs! I had the same situation. One PP left at petco by himself. I was glad to give him a better home.

This sounds great! I would also consider buying some exotics! Can't wait!
