Good Evening Crab family!
I have 4 PP in a 50 gallon tank. I started them off trying the PPS method and sadly lost a crab after a shell fight and surface molt so decided after a week to increase my substrate to 10 inches to let them do their thing. They promptly vanished beneath the earth. I understand they need to de-stress and could be potentially molting so am just feeding and watering the tank. There were some tracks and signs of eating/bathing the first week but I am entering week 3 of no crab activity. I can hear them clanking against the glass so know they are alive. I don't know if they would be classed as small or medium but they are in 1 inch opening shells. If they have all been deprived of the opportunity to molt they could well all be at it under there? So I could be looking at a few months before someone rears their head ?
