HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I am just starting the planning stage of a 65 gallon and I was thinking about including a small gallon fish task into the build. Not actually a fish tank, one gallon is too small, but more of a planted tank with, maybe, a couple shrimp or snails.

I would include netting and/or some kimd of mesh do crabs can climb in and out and sponge type filter that works off a bubbler. This would also need regular water changes.

Do you think this would be enough of a fresh water source for the crabs?

It's possible, but I would think it would be more maintenance.

I don't see a problem with it! There are some people that do this, but your tank would need to be cycled before adding anything live to it.

It could work, but keep in mind the crabs can tear up your aquatic plants and will likely drag all sorts of things into the tank, including rotting food.
