Meet my gang!

Post by Ryry » Mon Nov 10, 2014 7:50 pm

I did a quick clean out/ redecorate of the tank the other day and was able to take some good shots of 8/10 crabs- seeing as 2 are dug down.

Beautiful crabs! I just recently got two viola's, they were pretty shy for a couple days but now they are a lot more active, I even see some of them during the day. Notice they don't dig as much as other crabs, they have a little bowl or next shape back in the cave and they just set in there when they are not out running around. They have been eating really good for me even though they seem to be more shy than my E's.....you have some really pretty babies (:
Happy owner of 10 pp's, 7 E's, 2 straws, 1 ruggie, 2 viola's, 2 dogs, to many kids to count and one awesome hubby

Poseidon sure lives up to his name! Wow! That pincer is HUGE.

But Cas is such a sweet looking little guy. Awe~

I sorta love the fact you have a Cas and a Dean!!

But Sokka's red is breathtaking!

I'm curious though-- how do they all get along?

Honestly there are little standoffs now and then but they really do get along well for the most part. Dean and cas love to get into trouble together

ImageImageImage True to form, that's for sure!

That's awesome! Did you just introduce them with a saltwater bath and they figured each other out?

Or is it like an alpha thing? Image

I am a supernatural fan lol. And not the only one on this site either!
My crabs every once and a while will push some one over on a mad dash to the food bowl but they usually arnt to crazy. It's my guess that it is an alpha thing. They all get a quick bath before going into the tank and right now they have all been together for about a week. So I think they are still figuring each other out.
At first I would be nervous when I would see them crammed in a corner because I couldn't really see what was going on- and I didn't wNt anyone being bullied where I couldn't intervene. But if I peek just right over the back corner of my tank I can see them. And every time I look at them they are all sleeping in a big pig pile ImageImage
I love it! Every now and then I think they need figure out whose the top dog, but they are fast becoming a little community! I love finding them snuggled together. It's not every day all the time, but it warms my heart to see it. Image
