I'm new on here and wanted to share my crab aquarium. I have constructed two levels, have both spring water & salt water glub, varieties of shells, organic foods, about 6" of beach sand from North Carolina, a tank thermometer & ground thermometer, humidity gauge, hide outs, heat lamp, and humidifier.Any suggestions? I really want to get a bigger aquarium asap because my fiance keeps bringing me home more babies. ^_^

make sure baskets or wicker type things don't have a coating on them like shellac

Thanks for the advice; I didn't know that about wicker. :]

Thanks :3 the E toward the very bottom (Rory) has an interesting story. my fiance and I were at the pet store killing time. he ran toward the hermit crab cage picked that crab up and placed him in my hands; he said "omg look at this one he's so cute" then the crab latched onto my middle finger and wouldn't let go. I tried for 10 minutes to get him off. I thought "yeah, he's cute all right." I ended up walking to the cashier with him hanging from my hand and said "I'd like to buy this."

she freaked out. When we got about 2 miles from the pet store he finally loosened his kung fu grip.

I like the top one on the right

Thanks :3 His name is Simone. I usually get them in pairs--his counterpart Rory (the orange-ish one right below) and him often kick each other and fight, but are always together in the tank. Almost like sibling rivalry.
