New crab mommy!

Post by tiburonkid90 » Fri Oct 14, 2016 12:21 pm

Hello, my husband and I got our crabs almost a month ago *september 19th* I've done so much research on them, and so far so good! I just recently moved them to a bigger tank we had laying around and they have been beyond happy with the extra running room!

Other than that, I'm beyond happy I found this amazing site! :)
Long Live and Prosper!

The new tank is a work in progress. I have a few things I'm going to be getting this monday to add to it. When I'm finished completley I will post pics! I'm getting ideas going through the forum! The old tank is now going to be the iso tank! So, I'm also working on getting that set up for them for future use! :)

Same! But my significant other is less excited haha. I went to the dollar store today and found so many good things i needed/wanted! Even a 9 pack of suction cups! The options really open up once you start thinking of the box. :crabbigsmile:

They came in so handy today! I doing a deep clean so i used a few as extra dishes flipped upside down in the sand.

Thats great! My boyfriend had one as a kid but his sister was messing with it. When he got the crab back from her and went to put it back. ..the crab pinched him really hard. :crabblush: ever since he's not liked crabs.
