Shell stocking question

Post by NLindsey921 » Wed Dec 21, 2016 4:30 pm

So I posted a add on Craigslist trying to adopt out five of the crabs. A lady contacted me and I am going to give her them. If it works out, I will have just a tiny and a large left. Should I keep all the Shell sizes for the mediums I am giving away or should I take them out of the tank until tiny grows into them?

I would leave a few around his size. Some hermies like larger shells.

True. I'm asking because I have a ton of shells for the ones I am giving away and it's gonna take tiny a while to molt into them.

Keep back what you think you'll need, and then give up the rest. :)
