I just moved my old two PP into a 55 gallon tank. They are about three or so years-old. A friend was tired of taking care of them for her daughter. I was like most people in that I didn’t know what I didn’t know! Fortunately, that changed before she brought them. She visited for a few days, and made sure I was on track.
After several years of keeping them, I decided my big tank was going to waste in a shed outside. I was either putting crabs in it, or using it as a brooder for my fowl. Crabs won!
You know I had to get more sand and ee, plus another heating pad, so I may as well get more dishes and a few more crabs. 
There was the issue. The nearest place (store, beach or another crab owner) is two hours away. So, I looked at reviews, and ordered three new PP. They arrived today, and as the mailman tossed the box to me sideways...
I didn’t raise my voice, but they are going to be avoiding me for a while. All are still fine after twelve hours. They are in the 20 gallon, and while it’s not the beach, I think they are happy enough. After the trip they had, wouldn’t you be glad to be on land?
where did you get that measuring matt that could come in handy!
