The 13 Seen to still alive. They getting shier (shy) like the adults. So that I cannot see them often :(

I update my Picasa web album. The last ones are the newest.

The larvae project 5 and the latest one No. 6 failed.
We stopped experiment No 6 two days ago. All died. We do not know why. They only reached Zoea 3 .

That saltwater pool is incredible. How do you get the water to stay in and not flood the substrate? I might wind up doing a tank mod... :)

thank you :)
the water is lower than the substrate. There are no waves, so no water gets out of the pool. Water is separated by plexiglas.

I check your album probably twice a week :oops: I cannot get over how impossibly tiny they are, they make moss look like giant ferns, grains of sand look like stones, half a blueberry looks like a plum.
But they've grown so much! And they're thickening up and developing, it's fascinating :D

I'm so sorry about the losses =( You are doing an incredible job though! You are really paving the way for captive breeding! I am so excited, and I feel so honored to be able to read about it first hand. I can't imagine the patience and time it takes, but many hermits shall thank you =)

Those pics are so cool! Your tank set up for your adult crabs is just really cool BTW. No wonder they are so happy and giving you eggs so often!

LOVE all the photos, Curlz!! Tanks and crabbies look absolutely awesome. They must be sooo happy! What I love the most about the tanks is that they are so nicely decorated. Very classy looking, most people have a ton of things in there. You've given me some good ideas about decorating mine.

My entire apartment is half the size of your living room. My living area barely has the room for 2 sofas, TV, the bookshelf, my rabbit cage and the 20g high I'm turning into a crabitat :hlol: I just imagined a 175g in here and almost died :lol:

thank you :)

new pictures and video of the breedings available in my picasa webalbum ;)


@elefants: both glass terrariums (custom built) 400 € (= $ 530)
plus plexiglas tube, plus satlwater-pool equipment, plus sand, plus soil, plus decoration, plus plants, plus natural cork background ............. I will not know how much it all cost! ;)

It's my hobby so I do not really care :)


p.s. and I am already planning two bigger tanks ;)

Your tanks are such an inspiration to me! Currently I'm getting all the things together, hopefully I'll have it all set up in a few weeks (waiting for my shells to arrive) :D
