Eggs and diet

Post by crabbienewb » Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:30 am

Had an egg drop in my exotic tank, did not know anyone had eggs so it was a surprise and they were dead when I found them, but I checked and have another with eggs now. I don't think i have the time to do anything as far as trying to attempted to raise zoea, but i am wondering the dietary needs for my crabs with eggs. Should I change their diet up and what would they need more of.

If they're like most breeding females, protein and calcium, which they should be getting all the time anyway. :)
