Re: Bait and switch?

Hi again! Thanks so much. Their tank is an odd shape and I think may have been handmade in the 70s. It's at least 30 gallons, probably more like 40.

Unequal molting times - will the little guy get depressed alone?

Hello all!! First, thank you everyone for this entire forum - I had no idea what I was getting into and this has been an absolutely invaluable resource. In order to not TL;DR this whole story, I'll cut to the chase: Will my smaller crab get depressed alone while waiting for my bigger guy to come bac...
