Rate my 'tat!

Post by Gari Dawn » Thu Mar 17, 2016 3:00 am

Hi guys! I'm pretty new to crabbing and want to know if this setup looks okay for my 2 babies:

30 gallon tank (36"L x 18"W x 12"H) with 7 inches of substrate (Eco Earth coconut fiber).

The crabs are inhabiting the two shells on the far left :wink:

Hi! That looks great! my only questions are do you have fresh AND salt water and You might want to put a few more shells in, but i think it looks good. Also, how deep is your substrate, i cant realy tell. Where did you get your water dish?

Yes, there is fresh and salt water (instant ocean). There's a Plexiglas divider that I installed in the water dish using aquarium silicone. The substrate is 7inches deep. As for the shells, I had more in the enclosure, but they're way too big for either crab. All shells pictured are for my smaller crab. I actually received more of the correct size for my bigger crab today and have since put them in :)

I actually picked up the water dish for my black rat snake, but I ended up using something else for her. It's just been collecting dust for a year or so. I just got my crabs this past Christmas and decided to fix it up for them. I got it at the local pet store in the reptile dept... It's a Zoo Med "Repti Rock." they come in 3 or 4 sizes, of which mine is the biggest. It measures a foot long on both straight edges.
