Do you have a filter in it or not?
Yes Tetra mini 3i gal filters
Do you have a bubble maker? Dose it work well? Do your crabs like it?
No, not yet..
What do you use a way for your smallest crabs to get out of it by?Fish netting and silcone rocks on the ramps.
Do you crab s enjoy it?
Dunno just got done making the tat.
If you have exotics do they have to be able to be completely submerged in the fresh water pool?
No exotics, but all species need to be able to submerge

No; I use the bottom to a giant plastic container that we've rinsed out about thirty times
Is it plastic or glass?
Plastic

No

Yes; I have a bubble stone that I have hooked up to tubing. They love it, it makes the tank look really nice, and it costs about a third as much as it was going to cost me to get a recirculating pump.
What do you use a way for your smallest crabs to get out of it by?
River pebbles
Do you crab s enjoy it?
Absolutely!

<b>Plastic container for fresh water, glass for salt. The glass one is a heart-shaped dish to which I have glued pebbles and seashells.</b>
Do you have a filter in it or not?
<b>no, there isn't room for one.</b>

<b>I have one in the salt water dish, but the crabs seem to be scared of it when it's on! So I don't turn it on too often.</b>
What do you use a way for your smallest crabs to get out of it by?
<b>Both dishes have pebbles and shells in them so the crabs can easily climb out.</b>
Do you crab s enjoy it?
<b>I have seen them at the fresh water dish several times, but never at the salt-water one. They don't seem to like or want salt water as often. I even tried a plastic dish to see if they would prefer that, and it didn't make a difference. I change the water often. They don't go in it unless I put them in it, and then they appear not to like it!</b>
