On the misinformation brother ☝️💯% on point theres a shitload out there, a lot of people who do the write ups online about crabs and various other types of creatures have never actually kept any of them. Point in case recently I saw a write up on 12 crab species and how to keep them 5 of the...

Well brother that's the exact opposite of what I've seen in long term natural setups and breeding them but whatever works for you. In fact snails and amphipods, daphnia, freshwater isopods, water bugs, copepods, hydras, shit like that are about all I've seen thrive in stagnant water. Hermit...

Water quality is the main thing I've noticed over and over, I eventually went to straight purigen in the canister filters. Marine land poly filter also is great on water quality if using a back filter like a water fall. But theres always more than one method that will work but water quality is...

Thank you.

Any chance you have a source for these brother? Nice specimen.

Brothers 5 yrs total some of what they say excrement a lot of what they say is inaccurate about these crabs, it is hard to get healthy specimens no doubt 70/30 split in my opinion against getting healthy ones it's not they are WC it's the know it all know nothing shippers mishandling them like...

Next one dies I hope you don't lose any more but if it does cut it open gill air sac area will be dark if not black fouled.Too long away from water during capture shipping they can do days not weeks.

Not fragile at all captured and handled badly, it's about a70/30 split on getting healthy specimens all capture sites store them dry until shipping, I don't care what anyone says I've seen it and studied these guys intensively, there a reason they live by fresh running streams, they can stay out...

Brother it's luck of the draw on healthy ones arriving trust me it's about a 70/30 split, they go through he'll getting here everybody thinks they can go without water for long periods of time yeah they can then they croak. These crabs live by running freshwater streams for a reason, if you are...

Low brackish brother 1009 -1012, if the female carries eggs wait until they are almost ready you will see movement in the eggs eyes etc. Raise salinity to 1021 use only real ocean salt mixes not the freshwater salt , instant ocean brand is fine. But if no eggs keep it low brackish. Temp 75-80 ...

Patriot crab Cardisoma Armatum very active, if you put some minnows in the water side or goldfish they will hunt 2 or 3 times a day depending on size of course. Now if you watch their mouthparts/pedipalps? these crabs use spitbubbles and their pedipalps to communicate to each other, they have...

I put some more info up in the Moon crabs thread on other crab species. The vampire crabs are a bitch to get healthy specimens I mean that's just the truth, you catch good shipments between bad ones. Moon crabs, patriot crabs, any cardiosoma sp are far hardier and arrive in far better shape. The...

Also the hardiest crab I have ever kept were the Moon , patriot, and Thai soapdish crabs called warrior crabs now they come in purple,red,yellow,blue,greenish solid body color also crabs colors fade out a lot right before a molt just like tarantulas.

On the Moon crabs not true 100% freshwater any attempt to keep them in freshwater not semi brackish will fail. I kept some back in Vegas along with the patriot crabs separate tanks of course. You need to run under brackish around 1009-1011specific gravity, 75 - 80 temp, definitely need running...

That would work microfauna,filtered water only concern I would have in that size enclosure is fighting the males are very territorial. Or go with 1 male 3 or 4 females. I'm running 2 male 6 female in the 200 they are in I used the big tank as I had it only holds water up to 8 inches so. Also...

And for some reason I can't fathom after a ozone storm in there the springtails pop explodes. I hit it with ozone once or twice a week.
