How many crabs in a 75 gallon?

Post by Mikau132 » Sat Aug 02, 2014 8:24 am

I normally go by the 5 gallons to a crab rule (so the 75 could hold 15 crabbies), however I was going through some older posts and noticed that others with 75s had more than that. Right now I have 2 smalls, 1 medium, 2 borderline larges, and 2 larges. I will be adding 3 medium to borderline larges once they come up from their molts in the 20 gallon. I am just wondering how many I can add to make sure I don't go over capacity.
