Hi everyone, yesterday I bought Chia seeds since I've been reading on here that the crabs love them and they are safe. I have 2 questions: #1 do they have to be the edible or plantable kind and
#2 is this kind okay for them??
This is the ready to eat kind.
Thank you for your help.

If they are edible i believe they would be less likely to be dangerous Im sure they will plant too!!

Awesome! Thank You! I was going to sprinkle them under the tree like a garden.

Can't hurt to soak them in dechlorinated water either just in case!!!

Good luck i hope you post on your progress!! If all goes well i may try it!! Just remember it grows like wild fire, you Will eventually have to pull them or it will over run your tank!! If your crabbies don't get them first that is lol

Soaking the chia will make them germinate, but it's not necessary, I've done it both ways, and I prefer not soaking because they don't look clumpy growing the way they do when soaked.

Thank you for your help. I think I'm going to put them down without soaking them. Sounds like it might look better!

So I also bought some organic chia seeds from Trader joes I give them. I tried planting them in the tank but nothing ever grew. Do you have to do something special?
