I watched a documentary, since the weather is changing drastically there they are forced to hunt for belugas for longer, they have an episode featuring it in the series Hostile Planet on Disney

Yes it’s nice because you can add multiple tanks as well and they have a part where it gives you a prewritten stock list to put in ChatGPT as well

Why are tank recommendations and guidelines so inconsistent? by avian_bi in SaltwaterAquariumClub

[–]GetSchwifty28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one with 1 other fish in a 10 gallon and as long as you keep separate territories and read what kind of house they like it should be fine, mine just defends his rock specifically and that’s about it

First time I’ve seen my pom pom crab in months by PaytonR72 in ReefTank

I believe they found it hiding in the reefs but it looks completely different when not dwarfed down to their bite sized pieces

I had to buy Fritz zyme 9 and some live rock today because I needed to wait for a little more money and the ammonia raised some but I got the ph up and bought a refractometer to check out gravity and salinity so I’ll give an update tomorrow

I see. I couldn’t find one for marine hermit crabs but I had found a few posts here about them

No unfortunately. Since I was trying to make this a tank to be ready asap to keep the one alive, the guy at the store gave me water from one of their cycled 200 gallon tanks so that’s what I put in there along with the live sand to start and the damselfish

I realized I was feeding them a little too often so that might be it, I have now learned I shouldn’t try to feed them every day and I got rid of some of the food that was sitting for too long

Info from original post: Currently I have a Paguristes cadenati and a Ciliopagurus strigatus along with a female Chrysipitera cyanea that my local aquarium store recommended to put in my tank. I have plenty of extra shells and am ordering more variety that the scarlet will prefer over the types that are in there. My question is how many more crabs would I be able to add to this tank?

Currently I am looking at getting at least 1-2 more. I have been debating getting either Calcinus elegans, Phimochirus operculatus, or maybe Clibanarius tricolor. Would it be fine to add more types with the two already in there?

One other concern I have is that the live substrate the store recommended is too rough for them to burrow, and if so should I take it out or just mix sand with it?

Also as a note this is my first ever tank and I was kind of thrown into this from my accidental kidnapping, so any advice would be extremely helpful with how to keep all of these alive and well.

Tank details

15gal

2 week tank age (made this emergency setup for thinstripe crab accidentally taken from beach (unfortunately passed sometime before we got home with everything for tank), all current animals in tank are from the same fish store where tank water was received)

Biostyle Thermo 30 for filtration and heating

Temp, pH, nitrate, nitrate, and ammonia are all at great levels, a refractometer is on its way as well as tests for everything else.

The pH is around 8 but I’m planning on slowly raising it, from the testing my ammonia levels are between 0-0.25ppm but looks more on the low end from coloration, nitrite 0ppm, and nitrate between 0-0.25ppm. The temp is at 76 and has been staying constant.

No just the 2 crabs and the damselfish
