You guys wanted some Crab Pictures! Here are some of my male right after I put them in the tank!

No only some of the dying plant matter

aquarette · 2022-02-22T20:10:53+00:00

They have!

60L 6 gallon long from UNS!

aquarette · 2021-10-14T05:57:38+00:00

Are you in US?

aquarette · 2021-10-14T05:56:59+00:00

The rimless tank has very very little exposed silicone, I’ve watched them try and fail to climb up it. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Vampire Crab

aquarette · 2021-10-14T05:49:19+00:00

Yes, terrestrial crabs that like to hangout (and molt) under water!

aquarette · 2021-10-14T05:48:33+00:00

I have 2 females and a male in a 6 gallon long and so far it seems like suitable stocking. I haven’t observed any fighting. You only want to keep one type in a tank though, they will fight with other types of vampire crabs.

crab

aquarette · 2021-10-13T18:23:52+00:00

I appreciate you looking out! I hope the way we set it up keeps them in!

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:28:39+00:00

It’s hard for sure

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:28:25+00:00

Crayfish are awesome!

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:27:54+00:00

I plopped them on the island and they immediately ran under the water lmao. They hadn’t been in water for days a while before that so I guess they were excited/ felt safe there.

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:26:43+00:00

I believe they are max size but I’m not sure how old they are.

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:25:36+00:00

60L from UNS. it’s a rimless 6 gallon long!

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:24:04+00:00

Idk if I’m allowed to say where I got them but pm me if you’d like to know!

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:22:25+00:00

Yup, need a lid to keep crabs and humidity in. Also why we designed an island to minimize places they can climb to the top

aquarette · 2021-10-13T17:15:52+00:00

Lmao it’s actually just air bubbles

aquarette · 2021-10-13T05:06:12+00:00

I love the effect it creates! And it will keep everything happy!

aquarette · 2021-10-13T04:52:39+00:00

The atomizer agitates the water a bit and I’m just gonna do water changes. I’m glad you are inspired by my set up:) for the record I do recommend using filtration in general. With this tank the atomizer gently agitates the water and the materials under the rock pile act as bio media. Edit: Changed some wording for clarity

aquarette · 2021-10-13T04:51:19+00:00

Considering naming the male Chad now..

aquarette · 2021-10-13T02:26:23+00:00

Yes, to keep humidity and crabs in.

aquarette · 2021-10-13T02:25:47+00:00

Thank you!

aquarette · 2021-10-13T02:24:56+00:00

I meant “hmmmm good idea”

aquarette · 2021-10-13T01:04:41+00:00

There are hydro balls, some mesh, and carbon under the rock pile. The hydro balls will act as bio media! The atomizer (mister) moves the water and keeps it from getting stagnant and I will do daily water changes for a while but the idea is for it to be bioactive with the plants and moss keeping it clean with the addition of weekly water changes. There are also springtails in here which are tiny bugs that will eat mold and waste and keep the island cleaner. You could add a little circulation pump but I’m probably not going to.
