Molter, want to make the tank an ISO though!

Hi everyone! One of my crabs is down under and has been for about a month now. I was preparing a new set up for my crew before Doc headed under, planned on switching them over 2 days after I found Doc hiding.... Finally I gave up and moved the other 7 (now 8 ) into the new crabitat since it has plenty more space to run around in, while leaving Doc in the older plastic tub.

My current ISO tank is a 5 gallon, so pretty small. If I purchased a large hermit or so, is too small to use. Heck, with the crew I'm considering getting this spring of various species, the 5gal is too small even if it were a bunch of smalls!

If Doc decides to stay under if/when I get some more crabs who need a bigger ISO tank, would it be safe to put them in the same tank Doc is in? My only other plastic this are all sold grey instead of clear, but they are usable in a pinch if needed. I would just prefer my nice 7" substrate prepared box if I could!

So the HILARIOUS part about all this....

Just after making this post, it was dinner time. While I was making dinner, I look over to the old set up and guess who I see?!?!

Doc is back in the world of the awake! :lol: He wasn't there 20 minutes before when I went to make the post, that's for sure. I'm quite relieved, as now I don't have to worry about the small ISO tank not being enough for any newbee crabs coming in.

:whistle:

So the whole gang of 9 is in their big tanks. I just took photos of everyone, too. :D
