Are these PPs?

Post by grandlinegirl » Wed Dec 10, 2014 9:17 am

Not sure if this is the right section, but someone contacted me and wants me to adopt their two crabs. I just can't tell if they are PPs! These are the pictures he sent...

The colours aren't the same as my PPs...

His tank in the background doesn't look like it has much sub... I'd like to rescue them if I could and set them up in my 10 gallon until I get the big tank. I don't want to over crowd my 30 gallon (has 5 now)

I think they are purple pinchers, the one closed up in the shell definitely is. Purple pinchers come in many different colors.

Awesome. I'll get my ISO tank set up today for them and give them a good home.

Yep, they look like some PP's that could really use a moult IMO! I hope you get them, they could use some TLC.

That's what I was thinking!! From the bit of their tank you can see in the background, they don't seem to have much sub... I should be getting them Saturday! Fingers crossed!
