One Strawberry Needs a another???
I just got our first Strawberry crab over a week ago, he is the only one in my 55g. My qustion is should I get him another Strawberry so he will have a companion? I thought I had read about this somewhere but I could not find it. Thanks

The larger the colony the happier the crabs. Our straws noticeably perked up once we hit 4.Bizybeejm wrote:I just got our first Strawberry crab over a week ago, he is the only one in my 55g.

They also seemed to like having Es around, assuming you take activity level to be a sign of a happy crab.

Looks like we're going back for another!
My daughter and I spent the afternoon cleaning our crabitat, and everyone is really active and checking things out. I put some honey in and the new Strawberry "Big Daddy" is loving it! Looks like will go out and get a"Big Mama" tomorrow!

Yep, Straws will hang out together. I have 5 in my 40B and their always together. Usually piled up on top of each other in the moss pits. Or, on the very top of the tree or waterfall.
Get a couple of friends for your Straw And I do agree they like being around E's. My E's will nap w/ them in the moss pits

I had two strawberries and when I made up the 29 gallon tank for them I added a third. I now have an odd number andthe two larger crabs hang out together. Shoud I get a fourth? Will that be too many for the size tank they are in? I don't want Spitfire to be lonely just because Fireball and Firecracker have decided to snub him. Please tell me what you all think. Thanks.
