Show me your crabitats!
Please show me some photos of your tanks, I really want to see some examples!
I have been having trouble with mine.
The hardest thing to put in there is the wood, and cork bark, and I don't know where to put them.
That's why I made this thread to find some inspiration on a tank.
All photos are appreciated, and advice too!

There's a piece of driftwood under the wheel so they can reach the wheel.

Moon, I am very sure that I have seen your tank before, I like it!
I like the design of yours hermie, it's very entertaining for the crabs.

Thanks. I have some new stuff now, a new food dish, a cocohut, etc. I'm cleaning it out today or tomorrow, so maybe I'll redecorate a little.StellaCrab wrote:Moon, I am very sure that I have seen your tank before, I like it!

You’ve made my mind change, and I have decided on the design I wanted.

Re: Show me your crabitats!
Ok, this is the most recent pictures of our tat. It’s a 55g and I put a 20g topper on the right so it was a bit of a challenge to get pics. Hope u can get an idea of what I have!

I anchored my wood into the substrate and the cork bark sealed to the side of the tank with silicone.

That's a really deep pool! I realized I need bubblers in mine now, they need some excitement!

This is an older pic, my tank currently looks like a tornado hit it. Dollar store plants are the bomb.

Re: Show me your crabitats!
Thank You! Yeah I only have one in there right now. Its a new tank and im waiting on a couple others to come up in the old tank as well as waiting on some adoptions. But the one guy that's in there now, I think he's loving it. Every night he comes out to eat and hang out in the shell shop. He's used the pools a few times as well. The few times I've been able to catch him out he just looks so good and healthy - better than before I feel. But that could just be me enjoying the site of him in this tank i worked so hard to complete, lol. Excited to get the colony built up. my goals are to cap around 15 - adoptions only. I will never again support he crabbing industry, it makes me sick.StellaCrab wrote:Cool! I think you have a nice tank, entertaining for the crabs!CrabberCuber wrote:
