Chia Seeds
Hi everyone, yesterday I bought Chia seeds since I've been reading on here that the crabs love them and they are safe. I have 2 questions: #1 do they have to be the edible or plantable kind and
#2 is this kind okay for them??
This is the ready to eat kind.
Thank you for your help.

Re: Chia Seeds
If they are edible i believe they would be less likely to be dangerous Im sure they will plant too!!

Re: Chia Seeds
Can't hurt to soak them in dechlorinated water either just in case!!!

Re: Chia Seeds
Good luck i hope you post on your progress!! If all goes well i may try it!! Just remember it grows like wild fire, you Will eventually have to pull them or it will over run your tank!! If your crabbies don't get them first that is lol

Re: Chia Seeds
Soaking the chia will make them germinate, but it's not necessary, I've done it both ways, and I prefer not soaking because they don't look clumpy growing the way they do when soaked.

Re: Chia Seeds
Thank you for your help. I think I'm going to put them down without soaking them. Sounds like it might look better!Rawrgeous wrote:Soaking the chia will make them germinate, but it's not necessary, I've done it both ways, and I prefer not soaking because they don't look clumpy growing the way they do when soaked.

Re: Chia Seeds
So I also bought some organic chia seeds from Trader joes I give them. I tried planting them in the tank but nothing ever grew. Do you have to do something special?Rawrgeous wrote:Soaking the chia will make them germinate, but it's not necessary, I've done it both ways, and I prefer not soaking because they don't look clumpy growing the way they do when soaked.
