NINE crab surprise!

[turoconnor]

Someone I know from my job was looking to rehome some crabs! They weren't sure how many they had, and there ended up being 9 of them
Since there's 9, I named them after the planets. And the extra I named after Sailor Moon

I've got them now and they've been settling in for a few days. Saturn already swapped into a not painted shell. The biggest one is almost 3 inches across the shell! He's in a tapestry turbo

How big is your tank?

[turoconnor]

My tank is a 75 gallon. Is it alright to have them all in there or do you think I should set up my 29 gallon to hold a few of them?
I thought not because I have better opportunities for providing enrichment in the big tank.
They seem to be interacting without issue so far. They're mostly on the smaller side of 1-2 inch range with 3 being even smaller and 2 being bigger (none bigger than 3 inches across the shell).

They should be all right for a while. Be sure to check out the guide as far as how many crabs of what size, can be safely kept in what size of tank.
